Blast 6, Squirrels 2

Posted on by

Promoted Squirrels Lose First

The league wasted no time in giving the Screaming Squirrels a challenge in their first game in the Bronze 2 division as the Blast handed the Squirrels their first defeat of the season, 6-2, on Thursday. Not all was lost, though, as the Squirrels learned that they could go head-to-head with the first-place Blast, and even lead for much of the first period.

Chris Wautel got the scoring started for the Squirrels with a shorthanded goal at 5:39 of the first period. The Squirrels held the lead and the forecheck until late in the first, when Blast put two up on the board.

Blast scored twice in the second period for a 4-1 lead, the twice more in the third as the Brent Machado answered with a goal.

Drew Thiemann made 25 saves in net as the Squirrels put up 20 shots. Wautel, Machado, Thiemann, Mike Bronson, Chris Long, Dan Carter, Rob Myers, Ben Sumner, Desi Richelsen, Matt Borlik and Jon Magi played for the Squirrels.

The next game is Wednesday, Jan. 16, at 10:10 p.m. against NTAC.

Squirrels Move Up

Posted on by

After dominating the Bronze 3 division for the first ten games of the season, the league moved the Screaming Squirrels up a level and will have them playing some pretty good teams.

The Squirrels will face first-place Blast of Bronze 2, the first place Fighting Docs of Bronze 1, the old friends Panic, familiar faces such as Honkey Kong, Exit First and Syracuse, and teams they’ve never seen, Laughing Skulls 2, Deadeye, Ice Cats and NTAC.

The Squirrels anticipated the move and look forward to the tougher competition.

Squirrels 7, Dead Kings 3

Posted on by

Squirrels Get Wakeup Call

The Dead Kings came out of the gate shooting. The Squirrels couldn’t clear the zone, and the first loss of the season seemed to be a reality. But then the Squirrels found the trick to winning, and what started out as lopsided ice turned into a 7-3 victory behind a solid performance by goaltender Drew Thiemann.

The league’s leading scorer, Jeff Huntington, scored on a wraparound at 1:26 into the game to put the Dead Kings up, 1-0. The Squirrels tied it at 9:42 as Brent Machado scored what he referred to as a ‘fluke.’ Michael Bronson then put the Squirrels up 2-1 at 11:23 with a patient shot out front. Charles Wolstein picked up an assist on the play, the stay-at-home defenseman’s first point of the season. Then the Dead Kings scored on what looked to be a shot with a high stick, but the referees allowed it, and the score was 2-2 after a frustrating first period for the Squirrels.

The score remained tied throughout much of the second period before Chris Long saw a loose puck behind the goaltender, dashed over and hammered it home. Late in the period, Ben Sumner scored on what he referred to as a ‘fluke.’ The second period featured nine minor penalties on both teams, three pairs of which were coincidental.

Bronson, Matt Borlik and Long scored in the third period, but the Dead Kings didn’t give up, and got a third while peppering Thiemann with shots near the end of the game. Thiemann made 28 saves as the Squirrels scored seven times on 26 shots.

Bronson, Machado, Long, Sumner, Borlik, Thiemann, Wolstein, Brian Jackson, Dan Carter, Rob Myers and Matt Benson played for the Squirrels.

The next game is Jan. 3, 2008, at 10 p.m. against the Piranhas.

Squirrels 8, Meltdown 0

Posted on by

Players With B, M Initials Score

Michael Bronson, Matt Benson, Matt Borlik, and Brent Machado posted the goals Tuesday in an 8-0 route of Meltdown.

The game was only 1-0 after the first period, which was a typical start for the Squirrels this season, even in a runaway victory. Bronson scored four goals, Machado netted two (including one on a clearing attempt that the goaltender misplayed), and Borlik and Benson each had one. Benson’s goal, which came on a 5-on-3 power play, was his first as a Squirrel.

Goaltender Drew Thiemann turned aside 17 shots for his first shutout of the season (the Squirrels’ second as a team), as the Squirrels posted 36 shots. Borlik, Machado, Thiemann, Benson, Bronson, Ben Sumner, Chris Long, Greg Wenograd, Dan Carter, Charles Wolstein, Jon Magi, Desi Richelsen and Rob Myers suited up for the Squirrels.

The next game is Sunday, Dec. 16, at 4:40 p.m. against the Dead Kings, who have two of the three top scorers in the league.

Squirrels Give Up Season-High Three Against Gnu

The Squirrels won 8-3 on Sunday, outshot Gnu 57-22, but only led 3-1 after the first period and were outscored 1-0 in the third. The 5-1 second period and Chris Wautel’s two goals and three assists boosted the Squirrels to their first 8-0 start in three years.

Ben Sumner scored 21 seconds into the game with a backhand redirect of Paul Kobernick’s pass from the corner. Gnu tied the game at 8:08, but the Squirrels regained the lead as Greg Wenograd scored off of a rebound. Wautel scored his first on a breakaway at 12:03.

Gnu made the game interesting about one minute into the second period, and the score stayed at 3-2 for four minutes before the Squirrels ran away with it. Mike Bronson, Wautel, Matt Borlik, Chi Pham and Dan Carter scored to put the Squirrels up 8-2.

Sumner, Wenograd, Wautel, Bronson, Borlik, Kobernick, Pham, Carter, Don Marks, Charles Wolstein, Jon Magi, Drew Thiemann, Chris Long and Matt Benson played for the Squirrels. It was Benson’s first game for the team.

The next game is Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 10 p.m. against Meltdown.
