Hot Rods Win Again!!

The Hot Rods Hockey Club picked up their fourth straight victory on Thursday night with a 9-1 showing against the Inglorious Basterds. The Hot Rods once again got off to slow start going down 1-0 in the first period after a defensive breakdown in their own zone. The Basterds goaltender kept the game close until the flood gates opened in the second period. Players on the Hot Rod's bench estimated shot totals on the Basterds goalie in the 70-80 range, earning him congratulations from many for a game well played during handshakes. He tried to respond but was still breathing way too heavily to answer, largely due to the peppering the Hot Rods had given to him on the night.

Taylor Northcott earned the "Amateur Stuntman of the Game" award with a 3 point showing, including 2 goals. John Barlow was rock-solid in net yet again, at one point using just a skate blade to make the save, much to the dismay of the baffled Basterds shooter.

ICE CHIPS........

The play was not blown down for any reason in particular, just due to the fact that no one was really playing, they were all just watching the sideshow in amazement.

- Josh Delannoy finally hit the scoresheet on the fourth game of the season, picking up an assist on one of Cam Campbell's goals. Getting that monkey off his back was a relief for him, as well as his teammates since they were getting pretty tired trying to set him up over and over and over and...
