Squirrels 5, Swingers 5

Posted on by

Playing the Swingers for the first time Tuesday, the Squirrels knew the team had speed. That became apparent only eight seconds into the game as they took a 1-0 lead. But the Squirrels controlled the rest of the first period before the Swingers found their form, and the teams skated off to a 5-5 tie.

After being down 1-0 off of the opening face-off, Ben Sumner found Jeff Ford streaking down the middle, and Ford roofed the puck at 12:15 of the first period. At 6:46, a Don Marks slap shot put the Squirrels up 2-1. A couple of minutes later, Sumner hurled the puck from the left side, and it deflected in for a 3-1 lead. With 1:34 remaining in the first period, Rob Myers got a pretty pass from Kit Watson to put the Squirrels up 4-1 on a power play.

Then the second period started. While the Squirrels got their share of chances, a few breakdowns led to three straight goals over a seven-minute stretch. With 5:24 remaining, the Swingers tied the game at 4-4. On the very next shift, Ford connected with Sumner, who chipped in the puck to regain the lead. The Squirrels couldn’t hold on. With :58 seconds remaining, the Squirrels got caught deep during a long shift, and the Swingers tied the game at 5-5.

The Squirrels outshot the Swingers, 36-23. The Squirrels played without Matt Borlik, Tony Richelsen and Juan Canchasto.

The next game is Tuesday, June 5, at 9 p.m. against Silver Spring, who the Squirrels are battling with for first place.

Squirrels 6, Mors ab Alto 0

Posted on by

After the Screaming Squirrels’ 6-0 victory Thursday, they could only thank Mors ab Alto for fielding enough players to avoid the forfeit. Death From Above only had one sub, and hardly challenged Squirrels goaltender Bob Sewell as he earned a seven-save shutout.

Meanwhile, Mors ab Alto goaltender Ryan Meeks played another superb game despite the loss, holding the Squirrels to only two goals in the first period behind a very tired team. Tony Richelsen scored three goals, captain Kit Watson had two and an assist, and Wade Marks scored one while falling down.

The Squirrels played without Don Marks, Jeff Ford, Rob Myers, Phil Van der Vossen and Jon Magi. Chi Pham played his first game of the season.

The next game is Tuesday, May 29, at 7:30 p.m. against the Swingers.

Squirrels 3, Enigma 3

Posted on by

The game could have gone either way. A bounce here, a post there, the game was close to being out of reach and the Squirrels could have skated away to their fifth straight victory – or they could’ve lost. Instead, as the buzzer sounded, the tie seemed like a blessing.

Enigma scored first as their ‘sub’ – who was wearing a completely different colored jersey than the rest of Enigma – skated around several players and put one through goaltender Bob Sewell. Chris Wautel tied the game late in the first period as he stood alone in front of the net and collected a pass from Jeff Ford.

Enigma took the lead in the second period, but the Squirrels battled back as Wautel and Ford each had a goal from passes by Ben Sumner. With about three minutes to go, the Squirrels took a penalty, and a deflected shot into the Squirrels’ net tied the game.

The Squirrels played without Matt Borlik, Don Marks, Wade Marks, and Juan Canchasto. The next game is Thursday, at 7:30 p.m. against Mors ab Alto.

Game notes: The tie likely drops the Squirrels to second place, as Silver Spring – a team the Squirrels beat earlier in the season – has yet to lose or tie another… Team captain Kit Watson celebrated his 28th birthday.

Squirrels 3, Mors ab Alto 1

Posted on by

On paper, anyone who sees that the first-place Screaming Squirrels only beat winless Mors ab Alto 3-1 would wonder why the game was so close. Anyone who saw the game would have seen the rink tilted to the Squirrels’ advantage as Mors’ goaltender Ryan Meeks made save after save after save.

The Squirrels put up 21 shots in the first period – 47 total – but didn’t score until there were 14 seconds remaining as Jeff Ford one-timed a shot over Meeks’ catching glove shoulder. The second goal came at 12:11 of the second period, when Matt Borlik hit one home from in close. Don Marks trickled a shot through on a power play with 1:17 remaining. With 26 seconds to go in the game, just about everyone stopped skating and Mors got their only goal.

The Squirrels played without Tony Richelsen, Rob Myers, Chris Wautel and Juan Canchasto. The next game is Tuesday, May 22, at 9:30 p.m. against Enigma.

Squirrels 6, Enigma 2

Posted on by

The Squirrels had a quality victory Thursday, beating defending champs Enigma, 6-2, before two enthusiastic fans.

The match started out like last season’s semifinal playoff game (which Enigma won, 1-0) – heavy on the defense. Kit Watson got the scoring started early in the period with a second-effort shot to put the Squirrels ahead, 1-0. Enigma tied it, and the game was 1-1 at the half.

Early in the second half, Enigma’s Mike Vogt skated around everyone and tapped in a shot past goaltender Bob Sewell. Then the floodgates opened. Ben Sumner hit Matt Borlik in front of the net with a pass, and the game was tied, 2-2. Jeff Ford scored to put the Squirrels ahead. Then Ford scored again. The Squirrels got a scare as Don Marks went head-first into the boards. Seeing the injury, the referee blew the whistle a split second before Enigma scored a would-be goal. Marks was a little woozy, but managed to play again. Up 4-2, the Squirrels scored two more late in the game. Very similar to their first connection for a goal, Sumner found Borlik in front of the net again and the Squirrels went up 5-2. Then Ford scored his third of the game – his 10th of the season after only five games. The Squirrels outshot Enigma, 26-25. Chris Wautel, who played defense, finished the game with three assists.

The Squirrels only had two full lines, and were missing Juan Canchasto, Phil Van der Vossen, Desi Richelsen, Tony Richelsen, Wade Marks and Rob Myers. The next game is Tuesday, May 15 at 9 p.m. against Mors ab Alto.
