UPPER VALLEY HOCKEY LEAGUE

Gamblers Look to Continue Historic Streak

ODDS:	Gamblers By 12 Goals
OVER/UNDER:	13 Goals

In an epic start to any season, in any league, across any continent, for any sport, on any planet, in any universe or fairy tale or imaginary land or book of fiction...what I'm trying to say is that the Gamblers have had a decent start to the season.

Blah Blah Blah....MMA Line...Goals scored...Dead River...Give up lots of goals...ugly, no fun, blah blah blah, blowout...blah blah blah...Feiden...Bla Blah Blah...suicide.

Gamblers will win it....12-1.

Dead River Are Real Winners in 7-0 Loss to Gamblers

The Dead River Oilers beat Dead River Tonight 0-7...well they didn't really beat them on the scoreboard, but it was clearly a moral victory for the Oilers. Some odd setters had the Gamblers winning by 87 goals, most had them scoring at least 20 before the final line in Vegas was set at a 12 goal win for the G-Men.

In the end, it was another dominant win for the Gamblers, outshooting their opponent 52-16. Greg "Showtime" Feiden was clearly the best player on the ice, especially early on. Feiden made at least 20 big saves, trying to rally his team around his play. Unfortunately Dead River couldn't muster any goals against the Gambler's stingy defense and solid netminder Jeremy "The Seed" Seidling.

For the first time this season a member of the MMA line didn't get a POW nod, instead it was second liner Topo LaCroix who put 4 goals past Feiden. LaCroix and his linemates Allison "The Hook" Malcolm and Marc "The Narc" Gattie were also excellent putting up a combined 7 points on the night.

Despite Dead River's focus on shutting down the MMA line, they couldn't keep them off the board, as Willy "Weeble Wobble" Meyer had a pair of goals, Dan "The Animal" Ammel had a goal and Matty "The Milkman Always Delivers" had a season low 2 points with a pair of assists.

The bigger question is how long it will take the Gamblers to break this one wide open. Either way, DR has a beer or three to look forward to after all is said and done!

Feiden...you should say that you are going to make 92 saves for the 1-0 win. On the other hand....I did predict a 12-1 win for the G-Men. I really think that the pre-game writeup for this game might be my finest work. KP

I guess I should be pleased you think we can put one past the opposing goalie. That's the kind of optimism we need!

hkydoc WRJ, VT Registered: Jan 2004 Posts: 517	That's the right attitude, Oilers! Nov 15th, 2011 01:36 PM Feiden and Stu have got it right - have fun tonight no matter what the score is, and there are beers and chicken & veggie plates (okay, buffalo wings, too) waiting for you at Bentley's post-game, eh! Feiden may be the first 100 shot recipient tonight, and my vote is with Stu to score the only Oilers goal, unless the Golden (shower) Child makes his second guest appearance of the season cuz he'll run right over and through Seidling carrying the puck right to the mesh. You guys should have some subs tonight, too. so if you have 9 or 10 the blowout won't be nearly as exhausting. As far as the G-men go, nobody has to apologize for being good, or dominant in the UVHL. That is why we are the A-league, and not the B-league. Everyone has to step up and improve their team game to compete with the current # 1 squad. All I'd like to see (hear actually) is less bitching from a team that is winning. Shut the fuck up, JY! You are worse than Park.
