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.

In the final regular season game of the season, Blues took control of this one early and never looked back. The line of Bindy, Bob and Inderbir scored a total of 8 points, with Bob Dosanjh scoring 4 goals (2 of them breakaways) and Kevin Singh beating entire Viper defense to roof one top corner glove side on Viper goalie. Bob Dosanjh through final season led the team in goals with 11 and Bindy in points with 19.

Sandip "Sun Editorial Page A13" Dulay played net in this one as Bal "I got things to do" Mattu sat out resting his aging body.

Blues are now gearing up for first playoff quarter final game against the penalty taking Devils. First game is Sunday July 5th Langley 7:30pm.

Great season overall for a new comer team with a record of 10-7-1, 8 players on the team have never played in any hockey league before. It certainly won't be there last as the Tank has vowed to put Blues back in again next year. Little Gaba Travels is extremely happy and will be sponsoring the team again next year.
