D League - Games on 09-26-07 to 09-28-07 Results !!!

These are the results of the last week of regular season for the D League. This summer season has been exciting considering that the last day of the regular season determined what team was going to get the final spot for the playoffs.


09-26-07 : **********************************

Green Rink 845pm ... Stickmen vs Misfits
Prediction: Stickmen 3 - Misfits 5
FINAL SCORE : Stickmen 1 - Misfits 9 ( 7 - 5 in my predictions ...)

I was surprised to see that the Stickmen didn't show up for this important game. I have to say that it wasn't the best performance from goalie "Steve McCollister, Stickmen". This game put the Misfits in 4th and final spot for the playoffs. Now, the last day of the season will determine if the Misfits are in or out.

3 Stars of the Game :

1. # 25 Matthew Taylor (2 goals, 1 assist) Mis
2. # 27 Randy Perry (2 goals, 1 assist) Mis
3. # 37 Doug Hackett (2 goals) Mis

Green Rink 1015pm ... Phantoms vs Hitmen

Prediction: Phantoms 3 - Hitmen 6
FINAL SCORE : Phantoms 1 - Hitmen 7 ( 8 - 5 in my predictions ...)

This game was tied 1 - 1 early in the 2nd and then the Hitmen scored 3 unanswered goals. From that point it was all Hitmen game when they scored 3 more goals in the 3rd to pave the way to a convincing win over the Phantoms. I would like to note that # 63 from the Hitmen got injured to his knee at the end of the game. We wish him well and hope he can recover and play hockey soon.

3 Stars of the Game :

1. # 9 Chris Gallagher (5 goals, 1 assist) Hit
2. # 7 Brian Lowe (2 goals, 1 assist) Hit
3. # 6 Linda Mason (Great defensive play) Hit

09-27-07 : **********************************


Gold Rink 845pm ... Blue Devils vs Spartans
Prediction: Blue Devils 6 - Spartans 2
FINAL SCORE : Blue Devils 9 - Spartans 3 ( 9 - 5 in my predictions ... )

This game didn't have any consequence for the standings. It just showed how the Blue Devils are a notch higher in skills then the Spartans ...

3 Stars of the Game :

1. # 3 Mike Drago (1 goal, 3 assists) B.D.
2. # 15 Joe Picardo (2 goals) B.D.
3. # 12 Mark Johnson (3 assists) B.D.

Green Rink 1015pm ... Hockey Team vs Ice Dogs
Prediction: Hockey Team 9 - Ice Dogs 1
FINAL SCORE : Hockey Team 2 - Ice Dogs 1 (10 - 5 in my predictions... )

This was a great game for goalie Terry Redmon from the Ice Dogs. He received a total of 60 shots and allowed only one goal !!! He almost pulled the win but lost in shootout ...
I think that if the Ice Dogs had a goalie during the season, they could of climbed the standings drastically. Maybe next season ....

3 Stars of the Game :

1. # 73 Terry Redmon (60 shots, 59 saves) I.D.
2. # 13 Mats Lindquist (1 goal, GW) H.T.
3. # 11 Heather Welborn (1 goal) I.D.

09-28-07 : **********************************

Green Rink 730pm ... Ice Dogs vs Phantoms
Prediction: Ice Dogs 2 - Phantoms 4
FINAL SCORE : Ice Dogs 2 - Phantoms 12 ( 11 - 5 in my predictions... )

The Ice Dogs only had one player on the bench, so that didn't help at all. And it wasn't the same goalie as their previous game against the Hockey Team. The Phantoms controlled the game from start to finish. I have to say that Nate was flying on the ice and had a couple of goals.
This was the final game for both teams. They are not in the playoffs and now they can focus on the next season. Will the Ice Dogs be back ? If so, will they have a better squad ? How about the Phantoms ? Are they coming back ?

3 Stars of the Game :

1. # 41 Chris Keffer (3 goals, 2 assists) Pha
2. # 13 Jason Neal (3 goals, 1 assist) Pha
3. # 56 Brian Brookman (1 goal, 4 assists) Pha

Gold Rink 845pm ... Yokels vs Misfits
Prediction: Yokels 4 - Misfits 5
FINAL SCORE : Yokels 6 - Misfits 11 ( 12 - 5 in my predictions.. )

I would never thought that this would be a high scoring game ... But the results of this game officially put the Misfits in the playoffs with the final spot.

3 Stars of the Game :

1. # 25 Matthew Taylor (4 goals, 2 assists) Mis
2. # 6 Matt Lux (1 goal, 2 assists) Mis
3. # 19 Jason Hurst (1 goal, 3 assists) Yok

Green Rink 900pm ... Spartans vs MidCities
Prediction: Spartans 5 - MidCities 3
FINAL SCORE : Spartans 8 - MidCities 1 ( 13 - 5 in my predictions... )

Now that both teams have played their last game, are they coming back next session ?
I know that it was a disappointing season for MidCities ... I thought that they were going to be higher in the standings. Maybe next season ....

3 Stars of the Game :

1. # 29 Mike Skupien (2 goals, 2 assists) Spa
2. # 40 Brad Aho (3 assists) Spa
3. # 7 Jason Lind (2 goals) Spa

Gold Rink 1015pm ... Stickmen vs Hitmen
Prediction: Stickmen 4 - Hitmen 5
FINAL SCORE : Stickmen 0 - Hitmen 3 ( 14 - 5 in my predictions... )

The game before this one decided the fate of the Stickmen. They knew that they were not in the playoffs anymore so they didn't have as much desire to win this game. It was a good game with good goaltending from the Hitmen netminder. Now that the season is over for both these teams, what roster changes are they going to make for the next season...

3 Stars of the Game :

1. # 35 David Speer (25 shots, 25 saves) Hit
2. # 79 Kenny Polman (Great plays) Hit
3. # 14 Christian Herr (Great plays) Hit
