Brian Cartwright's 5-point night frustrates Ranch: Slayers 7 Ranch 3

A fiesty game between the Slayers and Ranch ended with a 7-3 win for the Slayers. The Slayers played their style of game, frustrating the Ranch most of the night. Lots of action on both sides of the ice in a physical game. The first period was full of great saves from both Dale and El Rancho's goalie, Eric Parker. Persistant play and solid goaltending from Dale made this an easy game for the Slayers. Brian nearly having a Gordy Howe hat trick, set the tone of the game with a 5 point night. The 3rd period was a penalty fest for both teams. Like most games between the Ranch and Slayers, it was enteraining for sure.

Game Notes:
Goal 1) Brian, Assist Cory
Goal 2) Brian, Assist Will
Goal 3) Kevin, Assist Brian
Goal 4) Scott ?, (GW) ?
Goal 5) Scott (shorty), Unassisted
Goal 6) Cory, Assist Brian
Goal 7) Cory (shorty), Brian

Goalies: Slayers-Dale, Ranch-Eric
Slayers Record 3-2

Slayers were pleased to have Mike Davis back on the ice after missing 5 weeks due to a knee injury.
The 3rd goal scored by the Ranch late in the 3rd did count, however after the game was over it was pointed out to the refs that the net was indeed off its moorings allowing the puck to slip under the goal, rather than going in.

Slayers Stoned By Stonewall Jackson: Slayers 2 Cheapskates 5

Slayers had one or two goals waved off in game they never got a handle on. One puck was waved off by the ref at center ice due to a crease issue, but the ref down deep near the play did not dispute the other ref. That damn Jiffy Pop ceiling blinding those refs again and just at the wrong time. It was brought up after the game, beers in hand, that another might have slipped in behind Landon but knothing came of it...whatever, the Slayers were sloppy in their own zone. They did look ok in nuetral ice and were pretty good in the Cheapskate's end of the ice. But it was Stonewall Jackson shutting the door. Landon only allowed two goals. He, along with the rest of his team were sharp. Slayers 2 Cheap 5.




Game Notes:

1) Goal: Dan, First Assist: Kevin
2) Goal: Tommy, First Assist: Scott

These might be wrong, let me know.

Slayers net minder: Dale and for Cortez Landon was between the pipes.
Slayers skated without Mike and Cory.

More photos. As the beers vanished, the pickets behind the goal were punished.







Damn, I need a haircut. Any girls out there up for the task? Have hair and beer (or wine); will travel.

Slayers Party @ Ballpark Sports Bar 5pm Sunday March 9th

Come hang with your San Juan Slayers and watch the Colorado Avalanche on a giant big screen at the Ballpark this Sunday. The game between the Avs and Dallas Stars starts at 5pm and the beer will flow cold and cheap.

The Ballpark Sports Bar is located next to Office Depot. We'll have a slapshot contest with the speed gun and an accuracy skills competition on the patio. We'll provide the classic wooden sticks.

None of your food or drink money will line the pockets of the Slayers. Instead, it'll go to the helping the bar buy the Slapshot Anniversary Edition DVD. No joke.

Drink specials, karaoke, hockey, slap shots, bust beer bottles with wicked wristers and good friends! What more could you want? See you all there, or suffer a blanket party in the locker room.

Bring your own foil.

Slayers burn Fire and Ice: Slayers 5 Fire and Ice 1

Fire and Ice jumped out to a 1-0 lead, but the Slayers found their legs and ended the first period 2-1. The ice tilted toward the Fire and Ice net most of the game. A goal from Scott and 2 from Richard set the tone. The game was locked up mid way through the 3rd when Cory nailed in a shorty while Will sat in the sin bin. Later in the period Will put an end to Fire and Ice by kicking the chair out from under them with the 5th goal fof the game. The Slayers ended with a score of 5-1.
