Game Results and Player(s) of the Week


This week’s Forum is sponsored by VULCAN Hockey Sticks

Only the BEST players and newscasters use a VULCAN to score goals.

"VULCAN ~ When it has to be put on the top shelf"


Tales Fom The Crypt

Rare Hat Trick

It was the Steve Silveira Show to open last week’s completion.  Steve (was) the offense for Omerta’s 3-3 tie vs the #1 team (Loose Cannons) and he scored all 3-goals for his team.

Steve is definitely not the only defenseman to score a hat trick in the Over-30 League.., but without actual names and numbers, we can assure he’s a very elite club with limited members.

That "Defenseman Hat Trick Elite Club"… becomes “even more elite” if you factor in that a defenseman not only scores a hat trick (but) it’s also the only 3-goals scored for thier team.

So bask in the glory Steve… you’ve been added to some “Elite-elite” Defenseman’s Club with the possibility of only one member (you!).

LeDom?

Settle down Dominic DeFrancisco… Your team finally made it into the “Hot” column on the standings webpage thanks to the newly acquired players in Steve Witkus and Lee Logler.., you don’t have to take your impersonation of LeBron James to the next level.

First it was the pre-game headphones.., and now you’re lining up in the faceoff circle wearing a fuzzy headband?

How long before we see you doing this pre-game?


and "LeDom".., if you do start clapping chalk before the game.., please don’t do it on the dek.  Remember we have some very senior players could slip, fall and breaka hip.

And please don’t start showing up in flashy suits or hats with feathers in them either.

GWG x2

The season of “Wow” continues as… “Wow!!”.., Gary “Stonehands” Goodwin gets his 2nd Overtime win this season. (Yes!) You heard me correctly… “Stonehands” has 2 GWG in OT.

Gary can thank teammate Elder Lopes for getting away with burying Jim Barber in front of their own net.., and as Jim laid face down in agony the fight for the ball continued around his face (without a whistle) moments before Gary was sprung on a 2-on-1 in combination with a bad ReUnited defensive change to get the game winner in OT and AARP player of the week,

APB

The Saugus Police have notified by the Over-30 League to post an “All-Points Bulletin” to be on the lookout for Ray Nickerson’s “Scoring Touch”

The last few weeks “The Boss” hasn’t been able to convert the spoon-fed passes coming his way from “The Great One” Matt Iannello or any other of his ReUnited teammates for that matter.  Ray’s teammates are experiencing that feeling that Ray has been complaining about since 1992 of getting “F**K out of an assist”.

The question is:  Is Ray trying to sabotage the IOC scoring since Matty plays for Team Italy and Ray is on Team Mongrel?  Or is Ray sick of watching his former title of “All-time Leading Assists” grow further and further away from him like Joe Shannon’s “All-time Leading Goal” ~ both stolen by “The Great One” Matt Iannello

Missing Person

Dominic “LeDom” DeFrancisco also visited the Saugus Police Department after his game last week.

“LeDom” filed a missing person report for one Antonio “Tony” Medeiros as his is claiming that someone has kidnapped “Tony” and his goals production this season and replaced him with an imposter.

To prove his theory.., Dominic offer “Tony” a shot of Rumchata after the game.., and “Tony” politely declined and asked if he had any Peroni instead.  Which a true Portagee would never do.

“LeDom” is now convinced that the “Tony” imposter with 0-points might be of Italian descent and a plant from Team Italy to derail Team Portugal from the IOC competition.

If you see the real Antonio “Tony” Medeiros.., tell him to start shooting and scoring more.

Chasing 508

Joe Shannon missed another prime opportunity to gain on the “All-time Leading Goals” leader Matty Iannello. 

The “Great One” pitched another 0-4 shutout performance with 1-assist.., but you’re not chasing assists Joe.., you’re chasing goals and last week Last Call Goaltender Jake Brum was handing them out like candy in his 5-2 loss against your team. You could have easily had a pair or even three if you showed up. 

Home & Home Series

Just a reminder that this weekend is the first ever “Home & Home” series.., where you play the same opponent both days. 


Week # 9 Saturday, February 26
4:30 PM Omerta   vs ReUnited  
5:30 PM Last Call   vs Loose Cannons  
6:30 PM Top Secret   vs Gold Miners  

Week # 4 Sunday, February 27  (Week #4 make-up)
5:00 PM Omerta   vs ReUnited  
6:00 PM Last Call   vs Loose Cannons  
7:00 PM Top Secret   vs Gold Miners  

This weekend we could see somemajor movement in the Standings and the IOC competition

IOC Update

Team Italy and Team Mongrel finshed last week's competition with a tie in the standings with 56-points.

Rumor has it Manny Nunes is making a return to the league this week but lost his spot with Team Portugal in the IOC to fellow coutryman Tony Medeiros.

We fully suspect that Team Portugal will petiton the IOC Committee to replace Tony's (0-points) with Manny's (0-points) as both players after 6-weeks of the international competition have the same points.

The only difference is Tony has actually played 5-games while Manny was on a 2-month (one-man) Duck Boat Parade still celebrating his Omerta Championship.
