Barlow Leads Hot Rods to 4-2 Victory!

John Barlow was stellar in goal on Sunday night, leading the Hot Rods in a come-from-behind victory over the Fussy Puckers. 

Tony Schellenberg opened the scoring early in the second period to get the hot rods a 1-0 lead. The Fussy Puckers scored a quick one back to tie it and got another one before the end of the second to make the score 2-1.

Barlow seemed to rally the troops with an inspirational 2nd intermission speech, in which he stated, "Just shoot it,  it'll go in" and "We're a third period team".  Whatever it was,  it worked as the Rods got goals from Tom Hautzinger, Tony Schellenberg and Taylor Northcott in the third to make the final 4-2. 

Barlow was in the zone and made some outstanding saves throughout the game,  keeping the Rods in it from start to finish. This earned him the "Amateur Stuntman of the Game" Award.  It must have been the warm up game he played earlier with a different team... Yes,  he cheated on us with his ex.

ICE CHIPS.... 
- Tony Schellenberg had 2 goals Sunday night even though he was so tired he could barely skate. Opposing teams are in trouble if he comes to a game well rested!

- The Hot Rods had a short bench,  with only 10 skaters on the roster. As luck would have it,  the Fussy Puckers only dressed 10 skaters as well. I guess Sunday at 11 pm isn't a popular ice time.... 
Barlow wears the 'stache well!!!!
