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.
