Leafs battle Brewers to a shootout and LOSE!!!!

Now this was an interesting game. I predicted a 4 goal win for the Brewers and 10 total goals. MAN I was wrong. The "LOWLY" Leafs battled, and battled hard. They are easily the hardest working team in the UVHL and put up a giant flag stating "We can skate with anyone". The Brewers on the other hand looked like they may have spent a couple hours at the local Brewery, preparing for the big tilt with the Leafs.

The Leafs came out flying in the first period, winning a good majority of the 1-on-1 battles. They simply out-hustled the Brewers and you could see that by the insane amount of shots that they peppered Petey "I'm saving myself for marriage" Bartline. Besides the good defensive play on both sides, the only notable in the first period was a tripping call by Christian "I'll only pass to Bayley" Isaac.

Eric "The Pride of Lebanon, NH" Gattie FINALLY broke the ice at the 7:16 mark of the second period. Josh Hardy made a nice cross ice pass from the boards to a streaking Gattie who broke across the crease and beat Bartelby low glove side. The Leafs went up 2-0 with 4:01 left in the second as Johnny "Toe Drag" Thomas made two SICK toe drag dipsy doos around 2 bewildered defenders, then lost the puck going to the net, but managed to regain his composure as he found the puck, spun around and found a wide open Todd "The Hook" Nalette who put it past a down and out Bartholew. Less than two minutes later, Nick "The Stick" Bayley decided to start playing and put his team back in the game after receiving a nice pass from Brent Adams on his off wing, patiently looked the defenseman off....that sounded kind of dirty, and impressive.....and then roofed it over Lallier's glove. End of 2.....MAPLE LEAFS 2-1

The 3rd period started off with the Leafs continuing to pepper Barty with shot after shot and controlling the flow of the game. That is when Brent Adams decided that he needed to take a hooking penalty to help his team out. I'm not quite sure what happened, since I was getting dressed for the 3rd game, but Bayley scored an unassisted Shorty with 8:08 remaining. I'm sure that Leafs blueliner Kirt "The Turnover" Johnson had something to do with it. END OF REGULATION 2-2.

SHOOTOUT:

Leafs: John Thomas, made a couple of moves, 5-HOLIO NO GOAL.
