UPPER VALLEY HOCKEY LEAGUE

Gamblers @ Tuck

ODDS:	Gamblers By 1 Goal
OVER/UNDER:	9 Goals

The top two teams in the UVHL face off in what could be an epic battle. Last time they faced off, the Tuckies took the G-Men to a shootout and finished them off there. Brandon "The Harry One" Harrington had both goals for Tuck and the lone shootout goal, earning him the first star of the game and a Player Of the Week Nomination(which he won). Since that loss, the Gamblers have ripped off 4 straight wins, outscoring their opponents 26-10. They're firing on all cylinders with two solid lines, 4 solid defensemen and the best goalie in the UVHL. The Tuckerdoodles have the best record in the UVHL and, 6-1-0, and have rolled most of their opponents. Last week they were outplayed by the Nordiques, but scored in the last minute of play for the win. They've also got that Harrington dude who tends to be clutch when needed. This is going to be a great game, with both teams matching up well offensively. Tuck has the advantage in net, but the real advantage comes with the Gambler's defensive corp. This should be a higher scoring game than the 3-2 shootout last time these two faced off. Gamblers will take it...5-4.

Gamblers take down top dog Tuck: 6-2

---

The top seeded Tuck Turduckens(6-1-0) showed up looking to repeat their early success where they downed the Gamblers 3-2...unfortunately, the Gamblers also remembered that rough loss and were looking for some redemption. The Gamblers(5-2-0) came into week 8 as winners of their last four games after that ugly 1-2-0 start. They tore through Tuck early behind goals from Matty \"The Milkman\" Marrazzo, Topo \"Thing 1\" LaCroix and Willy \"Mighty Mouse\" Meyer. Marrazzo scored with 3:48 expired in the first from the slot up and over Mike \"Wine And Dine\" Devine\'s glove. The second goal saw Thing 1 find his brother Ryan \"Thing 2\" LaCroix in the slot, and again the goal came high glove side. Marrazzo set up Meyer for the third goal with a beaut of a backdoor pass that Meyer tapped under Devine\'s glove. Things didn\'t look good for Tuck, but they battled back with a pair of goals to close out the first period. Both goals came off the stick of Mike \"The Gardner\" Gartner, the first rang the crossbar and rolled down Ryan \"VanKick Save\" Van Schoik\'s back. Brandon \"Harry Balls\" Harrington set up the second goal from Gartner as Van Schoik left a rebound from his quick snapper that Gartner chipped in. Meyer got his second of the night on a breakaway pass from Marrazzo and Marc \"The Narc\" Gattie. The goal which came mid-way through the second period was a backbreaker, especially since Meyer\'s initial shot was saved, yet he still had time to gather his own rebound and put it in the net. Marrazzo added a pair of goals in the third period to complete his hat trick before Harrington closed out the scoring in the last minute of play for a 6-3 loss for Tuck...or a 6-3 win for the Gamblers. Tuck & the G-Men now sit atop the UVHL with matching 6-2 records. They should play 3 more times this season and they should all be great
