Squirrels 8, Laughing Skulls 3

Posted on by

Maybe it was a lingering Saturday night hangover or perhaps it was the old geezer officiating with Bruce Bagley, but heading into the 3rd period of Sunday’s early afternoon game against the Laughing Skulls, the Squirrels had drawn more penalty calls than they had scored goals.  Defenseman and former league penalty minute leader, Dan Carter, made a strong case that he deserves the title once again this year.  However, after his 4th minor penalty in the 2nd period he was excused from the game by league rule.  Carter, now tied for 2nd with the Skulls’ Francis Conlon at 72 PIM only trails the Vikings’ Eddie Ryland by 2 PIM for the league lead.  “I was kinda hoping they would throw a 10 in there somewhere”, said a dejected Carter after the game. “But you can’t make them change the call.”

With Carter out of the way, the Squirrels managed to calm down in the penalty department and clung precariously to a 5-3 lead in the 3rd period built on goals by Jason Nehmer, Matt Brolik, Dan Carter, Don Marks, and Paul Patrinicola.  Pesky hothead Eddie Zaruba had managed to strike for a pair in addition to a goal by Anthony Campanella to keep the Skulls within striking distance.  That’s when Squirrels forward Tony Richelson took matters into his own hands, first skating past everyone for an easy powerplay goal around the halfway mark of the period and scoring again a little more than 2 minutes later after Borlik netted his 2nd goal of the afternoon.  From there it was lights out for the Skulls.

Squirrels 9, Nordiques 2

Posted on by

Squirrels Begin A New Era, Continue Dominance

Thursday’s game against the Nordiques marked the beginning of the post-Mike Bronson era for the Screaming Squirrels.   Bronson, who spent 3 seasons with the Squirrels, amassed a whopping 59 goals and 95 points as part of the Gold and Black.  Rumors surfaced earlier in the week that as a gesture of good faith Bronson left the Squirrels a nut before heading to Chicago and presented it to Vice President and General Manager Ben Sumner.  However Sumner, who was vacationing on the West Coast, was not available for comment.

The Squirrels would need no superstar power on this night as they jumped to a multi-goal lead by the 2nd period and initiated the running clock rule about half-way through the 3rd.   Chris Wautel, recently called up from the team’s minor league affiliate, struck for 2 goals and 4 points in the first period alone.  Although not managing to put the puck in the net, defenseman Kyle Gassert was effective in using the puck at knocking down and knocking out several Nordiques who already had a short bench.  One Nordique player had to leave the game with a busted finger from a Gassert slapshot.  At the other end of the ice, Squirrels goalie Eric Coulson managed to stop most of the dozen or so shots that trickled his way, however, Nordiques star Hector Rosario managed to sneak one in through the 5 hole and Regan Sweeney put in the 3rd period’s lone goal past Coulson as well.

Squirrels 6, Laughing Skulls 1

Posted on by

With a total of eight skaters at a time, the Squirrels played an all-round good game Sunday and beat the Laughing Skulls, 6-1.

It was Michael Bronson’s final game as a Squirrel, but he was only able to play in the first period due to a scheduling conflict with another team. He had an assist and in typical fashion, also a penalty before he went to the other rink. After he left, Tero Moberg finally found the rink and gave the Squirrels some relief on the bench.

This game will also be noted as one where players we could’ve used showed up to watch some of the game, including former roller captain Ed Bager. Hope you enjoyed the show, guys.
