Sunday March 11

Cool at game time, like 30, but it's clear and warming nicely.  Steve in the blue goal at the north end, no Doug (broken ribs?) so Mark Schwartz in the white net.  We started with about 11 v 11, Juan and Imad showed up and brought it up to 12 v 12.

Jeff for white 1-0
Mario for white  2-0
Kennington to Vince for white 3-0
Shamu to Mario for white 4-0
Imad for white 5-0
Mario to Imad  6-0
Somebody left or we switched up players because
Jeff for blue, finally, and ruining the Snark's inspired shut out. 6-1
Mark came out of the goal and Will sat in for a few nice saves, but Mark got kicked in the foot and went back in the net,
Keebs to Rocco, 6-2, but Mark was having uniform issues and got caught with his pants down,
Sides dwindled to 8 v 8 in spite of Rocc's impassioned speech last week,
C for blue 6-3
Jay to Jelly for blue 6-4
Jay 7-5

True to my word, I played for the whities.  No difference.  As Will pointed out after the game, good or bad, my play is not a game changer.  Bagel Joe is the game changer.  There was some discussion about how to even up the sides for a more balanced match, and an idea was floated to stop the game and adjust the sides if there is a three goal difference.

I want to promote another 5K for you runners, and everyone else:
It's Saturday April 28 at 8:30 in the morning in Saddle River, for a good cause.  It is in memory of a friend, Sue Zabranski, who died last year at the age of 46.  Sue grew up in USR and lived in Saddle River.
