Roller: Onward

Posted on by

Typically it would be considered an upset if an 8th seed beat a top seed, but considering the Real C Team has been the most difficult team the Squirrels have faced all season, they knew it wouldn’t be easy to advance. Due to the play of goaltender Ryan Meeks, the Real C Team beat the Squirrels earlier this season, and also forced them to a shootout. On Tuesday, Meeks showed signs of his goaltending brilliance before the Squirrels were able to power past them and win, 7-2.

After a couple of failed power plays and numerous chances, the Squirrels finally found the net on a first period power play when Chris Bedrossian scored the first of his three goals. Mark Tessar added another power play goal, but it was his next one that set the tone for the rest of the game. He fell and hit his head on a play, struggling to get up, before regaining his footing, somehow getting the puck, making a power move to the net and slam dunking it in.

But the Real C Team answered on the next face off, scoreing on a slap shot from the point to make the score 3-1 at the half.

Only a minute into the second half, Don Marks lined up for a slapshot that got past Meeks, which wasn’t a goal that he normally gives up. Then the Squirrels started taking penalties, but Bedrossian scored almost immediately shorthanded, before the Real C Team scored to cut the lead to 5-2.

Tessar wasn’t done. A couple of more power moves left a defender on his face – twice – while Tessar fought for the puck, assisting on Brian Iciek’s goal to put the game out of reach. Bedrossian scored once more and the Squirrels advanced to the second round, which will be Thursday at 7:30.

Eric Smith had four assists, despite using gloves he wasn’t used to.

Squirrels 11, Whale 2

Posted on by

It might be hard to believe, but the Screaming Squirrels roller team hadn’t finished the season in first place since 2003. Though they have three championships despite that, it wasn’t until Wednesday 11-2 victory did they lock up the top spot with 22 points in 14 games. The second place Jesters also finished with 22 points but the Squirrels won the tie breaker.

Next up is the playoffs, where they’ll face the Real C Team – one of the teams that beat the Squirrels before their 9-game winning streak.

Squirrels 5, Silver Spring 3

Posted on by

A misplayed puck by the goaltender off of a face-off is a tough way to lose for anyone, and it happened to Silver Spring Thursday after holding the Squirrels to a 3-3 tie throughout most of the game.

The Squirrels took an early 2-0 lead, then fizzled. Even a four-minute power play turned into a problem as Silver Spring scored shorthanded, briefly taking the lead, before Don Marks tied the game with seconds dwindling with the man advantage.

The second period took a turn for the worse as the Squirrels took three penalties, including one overlapping, giving them little momentum. It wasn’t until late in the game when Rob Myers hit the puck on a face-off toward the net, and the sub goaltender, who hadn’t played in net in several years, let it in. The Squirrels added an empty net goal.

The best part? It puts the Squirrels in a tie for first place with the Jesters.
