Enough of the Past. Game on 08-09!!!

Dale and baggage navigate the terrible waters of the upper Animas. Dale brings in new talent from the northern border. When asked what position he plays, the new recruit responded with " Pabst?".

So can the Cheapskates find a replacement for the human brick in net? Rumors from Grand Junction report former goalie stonewall jackson has recommended two winos, an eight year old figure skater and a tape ball as comparable replacements.

Cheapskates-Spring 2008 Champions!

Slayers drop "game 7" 0-2 to a determined Cheapskates squad lead by the solid play of net minder SWJ. The Slayers kept the game close, but the wheels had fallen off and scoring chances were far few between. Kyle buried a great shot late in the 2nd period to seal the deal. The Slayers could not get back into the game. Dale played very strong in the losing effort. So, with our glasses help high in the air, our hats are off to the entire Cheapskates team. Cheers guys. Congrats to the Cheapskate's protector of the net, the blue liners, the forwards, the coaching staff and the entire Cheapskates organization. You guys were a class act this entire season and speaking for the entire Slayer organization, you guys were a blast to battle game in and game out. Win and Lose. Again, CONGRATS!

Game Notes:
Goals....uh, none.

Net: Dale (Spring 08 Slayers team MVP), SWJ Cheapskates (Landon is our vote for the DAHL Division 2, Spring 2008 MVP) Way to go man!

All the Cheapskates players were sporting giant toothless hockey grins as they needed a minute to figure out how to take the championship photo at center ice. They figured it out with a little coaching from Mike Davis. Then the Slayers and Cheapskates joined forces to battle beers and Zimas in the parking lot.

Slayers Force "Game 7" with 1-0 Win

Slayers worked hard for a 1-0 game against Cheapskates Sunday morning. Between the hustle of the forwards, strong play of the blueliners and play of Dale Wallmac, the Slayers earn a chance to take the Championship Sunday evening at 5:30. The Slayers know the Cheapskates will bring everything they have and it will be a great game between the two teams.

Game Notes:
Davis continues to impress his team with his blue line river dance style of controlling lose and bouncing pucks at the point. Dale records his first shutout of the playoffs. SWJ had an impressive game as well.

1) Brian (GW) from Drew

Slayers Snuff Fire And Ice 3-1

Like physical hockey? Well that is what Slayer fans enjoyed Saturday night as the Slayers put the hose to a chippy Fire and Ice team with a solid win. Fire and Ice player, Joe Petters, had a chance to get his team within one with a minute fourty remaining, but the solid defensive play of Drew-Fing-Barber forced the play wide of Dale. All the Slayers played a solid game, but Mike Davis had a stealer game. He skated soooo smoooth his teammates were surprised roses were not cascading over the glass in appreciation of his performance. Way to go Mike, we are very proud of you buddy. This win sets up a rematch with Cheapskates for the Championship on Sunday morning at 11am. We'll see you in the AM Stoney.
Game Notes:

Goals:
1) Scott
2) Kevin (GW)

All three primary helpers from Dale. Secondary helpers form Davis as he once again fished the pucks out from the back of the net for the refs.

Net: Dale Wallmack for the Slayers. Clean-cut Griz for the Wet Sparks.
Refs: Evan and Johnny G. John, hope you will enjoy the 24 year old Scotch.

Great to have the fans cheering the Slayers on. The Slayers were stoked to have Drew Barbers parents on hand for the win. Welcome to the world of Slayer hockey.

ps Bolton, just for grins, hold your hand in front of your face with your fingers spread out kinda like you were looking for a high-five. Boldly have it about 4 or 5 inches away and ask Reeshard to try to hit your hand before you move it away from in front of your mug. Ha-ha jackass great game. Sorry for the typos.

Slayers Live to See Another Day! Shock Collar the Puppies 4-3 in OT

Slayers 4 Dawgs 3 (OT)

The Slayers playoff hopes are still alive as they eliminated the Old Dawgs Sunday afternoon.

The Slayers, playing a like hung-over arm-less grannies pulled off an amazing win against the Old Dawgs despite looking tired and not all that together for a better part of the game. The Dawgs controlled most of what was a spirited game between two teams who enjoy playing each other. Paul Wilson, the Dawgs goalie, made a number of amazing saves, including one from Tommy that smacked his face mask and shot straight up. The puck then landed back on Tommy's stick and he let her rip and clanged the post. The Dawgs had a commanding 3 to 1 lead till the Slayers found the back of the net in the 3rd period. With the score 3 to 2 the Dawgs had a couple untimely penalties (Tonya!) and the Slayers made the puppies pay. Later in the 3rd period, on the PP, the Slayers battled and scored with 6.7 seconds remaining forcing overtime! What a turn of events. The Dawgs were slack jawed in amazement as their commanding lead had evaporated. With the game on the line the Slayers battled hard in the first minute of over-time. With only a minute and forty seconds into the OT the Slayers won a key offensive face-off and with the determined play of Blanchard on the short side the cource of history would change forever.

With Altree draped all over him, Blanchard tried to bank a shot off Wilson's shoulder or noggin but it hit Altree's stick at the same time and the puck flipped up onto the top of the net and bounced twice on the cross bar before falling back behind the goal to the right of Wilson. The puck bounced from Blanchard's arm, then to his thigh, then stick, then the ice. The puck continued to bounce and Altree continued to mug Blanchard. Blanchard spied a semi open Kevin Kolb and hacky sacked the puck out of the air with his right skate to him in front of the net. Kev made two moves pulled the puck back and then buried it past Wilson for the game winner in OT! All while having three sticks trying to contain him. Kevin, showed incredible pacience. What a goal! The team erupted. It had looked as though the Slayers were done, but they reached deep and found a way to win. FUKENEH!

Game Notes:

Goals/Helpers:
1) Drew from Richard

Slayers Look Like Drunk Arm-Less Grannies In Loss

Slayers 2 Cheapskates 5

Slayers notched the first goal of the game then bumbled their way through the 2nd and 3rd periods in what turned out to be a pathetic showing against Cheapskates. SWJ, Kyle and Will brought their A games along with the rest of the Cheapskates team. The Cheapos out played the Slayers in the 2nd and 3rd with hard play and pretty goals. The Slayers did get a goal late in the game but there was not enough time to change the momentum. Stoney looked strong making a few key saves. See you guys in the finals.

Slayers look to rebound today against the Puppies. Puck drops at 4:14 Sunday April 20th.

Game Notes:
Net-Slayers Dale, Cheapos Lando

Goals: Driver from Barber, Nimrod from someone.

John Gardner was seen paying the refs near the zam room after the game. At least the Avs won eh? Sorry Reeshard, but it is T-time in Mini.
