Bullets 3, Squirrels 0

Posted on by

Facing a team ahead of them in the standings that they had beaten previously, the Squirrels played a tight game Wednesday, allowing only one goal throughout most of it but lacking the firepower to even put one on the board again.

Full Bench Boosts Squirrels

Posted on by

For the first time in recent memory, the Screaming Squirrels played with three full lines, and the results worked out very well. Hurting for offense throughout most of the season, the Squirrels put up 7 against the Vikings on Monday, before the penalty minutes started piling up for both teams. Jason Nehmer scored twice for the Squirrels while Rob Myers had a goal and two assists.

Awful Third Dooms Squirrels

Posted on by

For two periods Sunday, the Squirrels played tight defensively and held onto a 1-0 lead against Strange Brew. But in the third period, over the course of about a minute and a half, three breakdowns on three consecutive shifts suddenly put the Squirrels in a 3-1 hole, and lackluster play afterward didn’t get them back into the game.

Squirrels 2, Piranhas 0

Posted on by

It wasn’t easy or pretty, but the Screaming Squirrels tightened up defensively and notched a goal to defeat the Piranhas on Sunday.

Rob Myers’ second period rebound shot put the Squirrels on the board, and Tony Richelsen added an empty-netter as sub goaltender Earnest blocked 17 frantic shots for the shut out.

The Piranhas took seven minor penalties during regulation, giving the Squirrels two 5-on-3 advantages. But the power play and much of the game was routinely foiled by 26 saves from sub goaltender Shane Smith, who normally plays for the Bullets. But the one goal and gritty defensive play was enough to secure the victory for the Squirrels.

It’s Tough Playing Beer League Hockey

Posted on by

After watching HBO’s 24/7 with the Penguins and the Capitals, I realized that the referees in the NHL take a lot more crap from players than the beer league refs would tolerate. NHL refs get cursed at constantly without dishing out any further penalties. A beer league player might only question a call and get a misconduct. So, if it’s really true that NHL refs are more tolerant of being cursed at than beer league refs, then that should be number 11 on the list of Ten Ways Beer League Hockey Is Harder Than the NHL.
