Squirrels 5, Whale 2

Posted on by

With only two subs on the bench, the Screaming Squirrels played long shifts and sucked wind for much of the game Thursday, but somehow managed a late-game scoring surge to beat the recently demoted Whale, 5-2.

Despite playing defensively much of the game, the Squirrels jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with goals by Stu Miller and Kyle Gassert. Then the Whale struck back with two goals in less than a minute.

Very little happened in the third period. Whale, which had three subs, continued to put pressure on the Squirrels, but goaltender Bob Sewell came up big.

Then something unexpected happened late in the game. The Squirrels, utterly exhausted, scored three goals in about a minute and a half after capitalizing off of Whale turnovers, including two by Stu Miller and one by Mark Tessar.

This is the first loss for the Whale in this division. No penalties were called in the game.

Nordiques 9, Squirrels 7

Posted on by

The Squirrels had trouble scoring in recent games, but that ended against the Nordiques Sunday. At the same time, having three subs for the majority of the game took the wind out of the Squirrels, and they surrendered eight, plus an empty-netter, giving the Nordiques their first victory of the season.

Rob Myers and David Steckel each had three goals, while Tim Carter added one.

Roller: Meeks Frustrates Squirrels

Posted on by

The Squirrels have been playing against goaltender Ryan Meeks for years, and usually get the better of him due to the lopsided shot count. Wednesday, the Squirrels once again had a lopsided shot count, 38-24, but fell to the lowly Real C Team, 5-4, as Patrick Reilly scored four times.

Aside from a Rob Myers’ shorthanded goal, Kyle Gassert was the only one who could routinely get the puck past Meeks, and did so three times.

Squirrels 4, 5 Holes 0

Posted on by

With only six skaters, including backup goaltender Bob Sewell in net, the Squirrels managed to shut out the fully-benched 5 Holes on Tuesday, 4-0.

Rob Myers scored only 26 seconds into the game, but little else happened until five minutes into the second period when Kyle Gassert’s slap shot went past 5 Holes goaltender Brandon Miller.

Stew Miller added a pair of goals and Sewell stopped 25 shots.
