Long leads his team to a 4-2 win.
The red
team, behind the leadership of Andy Long and 3 goals from Kevin
Flanagan, beat the underachieving gold team on Friday.
On paper the gold Minutemen are the best team in the league. But with everyone but Joe Surette underachieving, they are tied with all the other teams at 1-1. "I can't explain it," said Surette. "I'm just playing like I normally do." This week they had all their good guys show up, but could only manage two goals in a 4-2 loss. "If Derek and Sean are only gonna score one goal, then it's up to their fathers to pick up the scoring," said Rick Armand. "Well, are you going to do the same if Jeremy doesn't score?" asked Bill Osbahr. "No, I'll just trade him to Fuji's team," replied Armand. After a 1-1 first period, Flanagan would go on to score the next three for the red team, and that was plenty in the 4-2 win. Jimmy D. had two assists, and is one of the top scorers in the league. "He is so underrated," noted Lloyd Johnston. "With all the focus on Mike Raimo, Jimmy slides under the radar." With the red team, all teams are now 1-1, so there will be no 0-6 team to start the season. Sorry Ben. Check out our great new box score here. |
