SemiFinal Game 2 : Blues 2 - 3 Assassins

Blues led 2-1 at the half, then Blues took 2 costly penalties one by Hardeep "Tin Man" Sandhu and the other by Gursher "Caged Gorilla" Randhawa which resulted in 2 goals for the Assassins. One of the goals, Bal "Last player to get dressed all season long" Mattu lost focus and didn't get paddle down in time as a impossible shot squeaked through his pads from a 180 degree angle.

Overall Blues played an excellent team game and had the Assassins on the ropes but lack of experience showed and cost them in the end.

Great season boyz, it was a ton of fun. Look forward to getting team in again next year.

SemiFinal Game 1 : Assassins 5 - Blues 2

Blues were not ready to play at start of this one. Goalie Bal "Tatu" Mattu, Tin Man, Gabar, Bob weren't in game shape. Blues turned over the ball 3 times in first half which resulted in breakway goals from the "shitty" Asssasins. Turning over the ball was Amar "I need leg replacements" Sandhu who popped his tiny muscle around his leg on in first 2 minutes which resulted in a breakaway goal. Shortly thereafter Kapil "Baray Mia, Shotay Mia" Gaba turned it over at the Blue line which resulted in second goal. A little later Kevin "Crown Royal" Singh trying to be too cute at the redline on a PP turned it over which resulted in 3rd goal. Blues did not execute their game plan to play good team defense and it cost them dearly.

In the second half the Blues poured it on and forced Assassins to take penalty after penalty. Harvir "Shooter" Sidhu popped on in from right side making it 3-1. Blues had numerous chances over next 10 minutes on PP but the Assassin goalie played on his head. The Tank laid out a sweet check on one of the chubby assassins and got instant feedback from the ASSES bench. It didn't phase him one bit.

In the end Blues had to pull their goalie still couldn't score on a flurry of chances and opposition got an empty net goal.

Looking forward to Game 2, do or die. Blues are feeling confident they can upset the #1 seed if they stick to their gameplan.

QuarterFinal Game 2 : Devils 0 - Blues 5

Both teams had full benches in this 2nd game in best of 3. Blues were pumped up for this one and once again came out strong with the forecheck and scored early at 1 minute mark with Bob "Sniper Sota" Dosanjh popping Devils cherry early. With 15 minutes of no scoring, Martin Gringberg on a solo forecheck effort put one past Devils goal short side on a wrap around, what a beauty and huge goal!!!

The Blues defense played an outstanding game feeding the forwards pass after pass and limiting Devil's opportunities to zilch. In the second half Blues had a few powerplays and Blues forwards Martin scoring another one and Gary Gill scoring 2 on a PP on rebounds from Tank's shot from the point. This was a fast paced game, Blues came out on top once again.

Next up Assassins, this should be a great series.

QuarterFinal Game 1 : Blues 6 - Devils 2

Both teams had short benches in first ever playoff meeting which Devils a few less players than Blues. Nonetheless Blues were pumped up for playoffs and came out flying. Martin "Russian" Gringberg deked goalie 5 hole going side to side putting Blues up 1-0 early. Next up Harvir "Shooter" Sidhu put one top corner 2 minutes later giving the Blues 2-0 lead. Despite being outshot badly the Devils goalie made some highlight reel saves. The Devils got a goal at 10 minute mark when Hardeep "I like to score on my own net" trying to pass back to Gabar Singh inadvertantly put the ball into his own net, the Devils bench burst out laughing and the Blues bench was in shocking watching the dynamic duo of Hardo and Gabar manning the Blue's defense. The Tank simply put his head down and uttered a prayer.

The second half Blues poured it on scoring 4 times with Bindy, Harvir, Kaji and Gringberg scoring beauties. After the game Blues headed out to Blueberry Balu's 10 anniversary party at Bombay Banquet hall with a shower pitstop at Bin's house. We had a few refreshing beverages, butter chicken and danced a little, then called it a day focusing on preparation for Game 2.

Vipers 0 - Blues 3

Vipers had a short bench in this game but worked hard. Blues Bob "Soft Hands" Dosanjh started scoring late in second half short-handed when Gur "The Tank" Randhawa fed a nice pass sending the tall lanky east indian on a breakaway. Mr Dosanjh then effortlessly deked goalie nicely to right and popped back hand top corner. In the second half the line of Bindy Inderbir and Bob popped in 2 more to make it a final of 3 - 0.

The Blues outshot the hard working Vipers 15 - 8. Blues Bal "I'm too sick to play" Mattu played well when tested in first half earning him the shutout. The young line of Harvir Jas and Kaji had a good game controlling play in Viper zone but could not finish. Other notibles were The Tank moving up to give the 3rd line some scoring opportunities while Sandip "I need to get in shape" Dulay moved back as he couldn't keep up with the 2 snipers who like to run every 2nd shift namely Hardeep "Tin Man" Sahota and Gary "Butterscotch Milkshake Lover" Gill.

Next up final game of the season for the Blues and Vipers at Planet Ice Coquitlam Thurs July 2nd 8pm.

Blues 7 - Scorpionz 1

In the final regular season showdown between these 2 Indo Canadian ball hockey pride was on the line, both teams fielding a full-lineup. Blues had a first of 4 lines this game, to keep tempo up they rolled lines efficiently with 1 minute shifts.

Blues team captain, "The Tank" Randhawa like a modern day Brett Hull blasted a wrist shot past Scorpio goal taking a sexy pass from Martin "The Russian" Gringberg. 49 seconds later the unthinkable, unimaginable most amazing thing happened, Gursher "Gorilla Cage" Randhawa scored!!! Most of the guys were still reminiscing the Tank's laser beam of a goal and completely missed historical event but it happened, we are still trying to determine how this goal came about.

Anyways the Blues forwards pressed hard on Scorpionz defense and got a couple consecutive powerplays. On the first PP Bob Dosanjh scored a beauty from Bindy "All In" Aulukh and Kevin "CR" Singh. The second PP The Tank blasted his second of the game top corner again from a nice feed from Martin "The Russian" Gringberg and Sukh "The Grinder" Dosanjh.

Up 4-1 and in command of the game, on a Blues defensive breakdown Scorpios capitalized and got one past Bal "I'm going to find a wife to be this year" Mattu. 50 seconds later Inderbir broke in on a semi breakaway, like a pro holding on to the ball fed a sweet pass to the trailing Hardeep "Tin Man" Sandhu on a breakaway who put one past Scorpio goalie glove side. With 3 minutes left in first half Bindy "All In" Aulukh leading point man on the team on a quick turnaround caught goalie napping and putting one low post.

In the second half Blues played a strong team defensive game with The Tank leading the way running the flow back and forth deserving of the Selke trophy of their was one. The captain drew a couple penalties of one which he took a dirty hit from one of the giant scorpionz in the corner. At the tail end of period with 4 minutes left Harvir "Head Down" Sidhu scored on a deflection off scorpion defenseman. Mr Sidhu now has 11 goals on the season with no assists, the moto of the young line being just give the ball to Sidhu and let him fire away.

Total shots in this one was 15 - 12 in favour of the Blues. Other notibale plays was Bal "ICBC" Mattu making a left pad save on a penalty shot midway through second period.

Next game is Sunday June 28th 7:30 Langley against Vipers.
