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.

Squirrels 5, Washington Whale 1

Posted on by

A shorthanded goal is often cause for celebration, and the Squirrels got two of them Tuesday en route to a 5-1 victory against Washington Whale behind solid goaltending by Bob Sewell.

Chris Wautel put the Squirrels on the board five minutes into the game. Two minutes later, while killing a penalty, Kit Watson caught a deflected shot and skated 3/4 the length of the rink to put the Squirrels up 2-0. Shortly after, only four seconds into a power play, Ben Sumner won a face off directly to Jeff Ford, who sent the puck in with a quick, low wrist shot. Ford scored his second of the game – this time shorthanded – on a breakaway, putting the Squirrels up 4-0 at the half.

The Whale scored on a power play at the beginning of the second period to cut the lead to 4-1. Chris Long gave the Squirrels a four-goal lead again a few minutes later, and the score stood for the rest of the game.

Matt Borlik, Rob Myers, and Juan Canchasto missed the game, as the Squirrels put up 28 shots on net.

The next game is Thursday, at 9 p.m. against last season’s champions, Enigma.

Squirrels 4, Chupacabras 2

Posted on by

Anyone watching the Squirrels’ 4-2 win over the Chupacabras Wednesday would have wondered what exactly was on the back of goaltender Bob Sewell’s helmet. A rat? No, it was a stuffed squirrel, strapped on. And the Squirrels would like to think their furry mascot gave them the advantage as they beat the Chupacabras for the fifth time in a row.

The Chupacabras struck first, however, at 9:38 of the first period. Rob Myers tied it with a slap shot on the power play a few minutes later.

With time running down on a two-man advantage, Jeff Ford gave the Squirrels the lead early in the second period. Ford scored again shortly after on a perfect centering pass from Rob Myers. With about two minutes remaining, Chris Wautel got broke loose while killing a penalty and put the Squirrels up 4-1. The Chupacabras got a power play goal 13 seconds later, but the score stood.

The Squirrels played without Don Marks, Wade Marks, and Phil Van der Vossen. Sewell made 27 saves in net, as the Squirrels put up 35. The next game is Tuesday, May 8, at 8:30 p.m. against Washington Whale.

5 Holes 2, Squirrels 1

Posted on by

It was another close 5 Holes-Squirrels game Tuesday, and this time the 5 Holes came out on top with a 2-1 victory. This was despite the fact that the Squirrels led much of the game, but a lack of offensive punch and a couple of breakdowns doomed them in the end.

On the first shift of the game, Jeff Ford centered to Ben Sumner, who scored to give the Squirrels the lead. The 5 Holes said Sumner kicked the puck in the net but the referees said it was a goal. The 1-0 lead stood throughout the first period, and well into the second period. Squirrels goaltender Bob Sewell was brilliant in net, making many saves. But then one got in. And another. Down a man in the last two minutes, the Squirrels had one last chance to tie the game. Kit Watson sent a slap shot toward Sumner in front of the 5 Holes net, hoping for a goal off a deflection like last week, but lightning didn’t strike twice.

The Squirrels played without Matt Borlik, Phil Van der Vossen, Chi Pam and Jon Magi. The next game is Wednesday, at 8 p.m. against the Chupacabras.

Squirrels 8, Silver Spring 5

Posted on by

The rust was apparent, but the Squirrels shook it off in the second half and defeated Silver Spring, 8-5, on Tuesday.

Don Marks, Chris Long and the new guy, Chris Wautel, scored in the first half as the teams skated to a 3-3 draw. Silver Spring took the lead early in the second half, but then Jeff Ford got a centering pass from Ben Sumner to tie the game. Only 19 seconds later, Ford sent a pass back to new team captain Kit Watson, who took a slap shot which deflected off of the middle of Sumner’s stick into the net. Rob Myers scored with 1:43 remaining in the game to give the Squirrels a 6-4 lead. When Silver Spring pulled their goalie a minute later, Jeff Ford scored on the empty net. But then Silver Spring scored again, and pulled their goalie again. And Ford scored another empty-netter to get the hat-trick.

The Squirrels outshot Silver Spring 24-21. Juan Canchasto, Phil Van der Vossen, Matt Borlik and Chi Pham missed the game for the Squirrels, who have one of the deepest lineups in the league.

The next game is Tuesday, April 24, at 8:30 p.m. against The 5 Holes.
