Tornadoes 2 - Blues 3

In this Sunday night matchup at Langley Sportsplex, the Blues had wiley veteran Kevin "Crown Royal" Singh in the lineup playing defense. Kevin just underwent some reconstructive nose surgery and a week later with a shiny new visor couldn't stay away from the game he loves. What a guy!!!

Tornadoes came out as their name implies with a flurry of scoring chances utilizing their speedy wingers and pinching defense. They went up 2 - 0 on the Blues by early second half. The Tornadoes then went crazy and took 8 penalties rest of the way. The Blues with their deadly silent killer PP capitalized. Scoring first was Bindy Aulukh on a all veteran PP, with The Tank, Gary Bal, Bindy, Sandip and Kevin moving the ball around like pro's. On the second PP the Tank created a mini tornado in the corner taking the ball away from Tornadoes and young sniper Kaji Hundal wristed it past their goalie.

The game went into O.T with nothing solved. Then came shoot out with Gary Bal deking the pants off Tornadoes goalie. Rest of the way no one scored as Bal "I gotta get my life in order" Mattu stopped every shooter. Blues strength lies in this young 38 year old goaltending who doesn't like warmups and has a pre-game ritual of serenating the toilet at least 4 times before leaving the dressing room. One of a kind!!!

3 Stars
Bal Mattu
