The Mur-Man Matches the Hype Again!This was probably the hardest night ever for picking the Pepsi 3 Stars. It seems like everyone was firing on all cylinders, and if they weren’t contributing Offensively they were definetly contributing defensively. I really wish that there was a point system to distribute points to a really defensive player, but if you were one of those blocking shocks on August. 3rd and you never got a star of the game, pat yourself on the back for me, you deserve it!
Now your Pepsi 3 Stars:
1. Murray Spencer 6 Games Played, 3(12) Goals, 6(21) Assists, 9(33) Points
2. Adam Hanson 2 Games Played, 5 Goals, 3 Assists, 8 Points
3. Brad Rogers 7 Games Played, 3(11) Goals, 5(15) Assists,
8(26) Points, 2(6) Penalty Minutes
You guys really, really, really made it difficult to put up this post this week. I am telling you though that if you have never been out to this, come out, you missed one intense evening on August 3rd 2006. Do I have an AMEN! It was extreme, it was non-stop action and everyone was playing for the fun, fellowship, and the win.
The younsters are promoted this week with their first victory, which was in Overtime and they are on the winning trail with the last win of the night. So now they have earned their Stars and are deserving of being called Young Stars. Although, just a challenge for next week to the Young Stars. With your win on Thursday night, the Old Stars run a record of 10-0-0-1 on the Summer, can you give them their first regulation loss?
At that I am going to name three honorary “Darrell” Unofficial “Stars” of the Game
1. Jordan Thomas 4 Games Played, 4(5) Goals, 2(3) Assists,
6(8) Points
Everyone will probably agree that if you can get the Overtime Winner in the first win for a young team and you block shots and stop at nothing to put the ball in the net, you deserve something here, and he got past the best defense on the Old Stars (Darrell Haines) Just kidding, but anywho, he is My first honorary pick.
2 & 3. Ashlee Albright & Dan Foreman
Ashlee Albright: 66 Saves, 16 Goals Allowed
Dan Foreman: 76 Saves, 8 Goals Allowed
Both goaltenders played their hearts out and are neck and neck for goaltender of the Summer, and I am telling you they both have put their best into helping their teams out. In Game one Ashlee Albright was shelled with an intense amount of shots and had what seemed to be no defense at all from the Youngsters. Although the YoungStars decided to show up in Game 2, although Dan Foreman in Game 2 was shelled with shots, but the defense was there helping clear the ball at most occasions, taking us to the second Overtime of the Summer.
