Apologies for the delay In this game report, I was stumped in what to write and have been looking for inspiration but finding none. On the coincidental side it seems Phasers had little inspiration when it came to tackling DreamTeam, the only consolation being that they made it into the 3rd period a mere 4-0 down, before totally falling apart as they lost hope.

The only Notable Phasers game event was an interesting DC in the 1st period by BlueGoku, after the shooter duded the blue bullet (originally people thought maybe this was a tank, which would probably have resulted in a NODC call) a really slow shot which was barely moving was caught by the weasel of BlueGoku who was clearly in the crease, but at the time the ball was not.

Any defensive player who catches a puck inside the crease will be assessed a defensive crease penalty (DC) - Is that the player or the puck in the crease, seems a little ambiguous to me, perhaps the upper reffing echelon can clarify this rule for when its doubtful the ball would even reach the crease.

Either way Dreamteam did not capitalize on the powerplay, so it did not matter too much from Phasers defensive point of view.

After that buisness as normal and Dreamteam grinded a solid 10-0 victory out.

Stars at the game were:
1st: DreamTeam - For a ruthless mercy

After the game A few players were chosen for some input on how the performances went.

First up we have Dreamteams LuKeZ, a man of carefully chosen and slowly typed words...

Furry> So what did you think about the game?
LuKeZ> I'v got 3 words to sum it up.
1) Domination
Blitz wasn't even tested, we controlled every aspect of the game, scored the most goals you can score while playing a variety of players.

2) Unstoppable Force
We played the right ships at the right time, putting pucks in the net minute after minute.

3) Teamwork
I can play any player at any time and know it will be a great line because our chemistry from our core members like bn, vegas, nana and bitemark combined with new additions like slayer and hesiod will produce great teamwork to get the job done.

To spice things up a little I then spoke to a random RSHL hockey fan who just happened to be passing by, and just happened to be the living legend that is David Seaman.

Furry+> Can I have a few words to describe Phasers performance vs Dreamteam today?

David Seaman> thrills offense was horrendous. I'm sure hes going to throw his goalie under the bus anyway. I think its sad he can't be a team player and adjust his cancer play to his team.

Its also funny that kula, blue and thrill hyped up their team so much to be 0-2 opening week and already have 1 mercy. Finally dream team has yet to be tested, they have played 2 banged up rosters, I wouldn't give them the blackie yet.

Finally I got to speak to Thrill, a busy man at the moment in HZ.

Furry+> what happened today? I predicted 10-0 phasers (Sadly true)

Thrill+> We just never got any momentum going. A lot of our guys haven't played together and we just didn't control the puck very well at all. Also never helps when your starting goaltender no shows, but LBC shouldn't be missing any games after this one. (**1 point to Seaman!**)

Furry+> so would you say red raven was a major factor in today's loss?

Thrill+> I'm not going to say he was the sole reason we lost the game, I mean we were obviously outplayed a bit. But I would contribute the fact that we got mercied to his inexperience. He isn't bad (raven), he just lost his thread after a bad goal and kept letting them in. It'll pass with time.

Furry+> hows Kula shaker holding up after the game?

Thrill+> Kula is actually a good team mate being honest. Its only when hes in a position of power that he becomes unbalanced it would seem.

Furry+> sounds familiar for most of us :D
Furry+> any words of warning for your next opponents?

Thrill+> Yeah, regardless of a shaky start, Phasers is going to be a force this season. After we get all of our kinks worked out, I'll be surprised if we add more than 2 or 3 losses to the current total. We definitely have the potential to win the entire league and finish with an awesome record, it's just focusing on the game and actually doing it.

Finally we return to Lukez for the closing words of this long interview session.

Furry+> Thrill claims Phasers, despite this setback will still be a force to reckon with, do you think hes dreaming?

LuKeZ> He's delusional like every other season, I've said it in multiple threads that Phasers isn't any better than they were the last couple of seasons. As for us we're going to score lots of goals with our dominating offense, question is can they get it past our huge lanc, blitz?

Thanks too all interviewees, all Interviews included are a direct representation of actual logs although grammar and spelling may have been changed to improve readability. (No perfection is guaranteed)

Finally, an exciting game. Kind of. More funny than exciting. It had everything, including a half naked woman! Hmm was able to turn on the homosexual within though and ignored it. Lets get to the report.

Mazer started out the game in complete control, almost completely shutting out the Hmm offense. Only 4 minutes into the game, Captain_Pickle tosses in a shot to put Mazer on the board first. Eatons, Hmm's apparently little secret weapon, despite the goal, was a wall that would not be easily knocked over. At one point, a pass phased about 4 people, headed for the net still phased, and he still managed to save it. Unfortunately, the Hmm defense was lacking, and at after 9 minutes, Pickle was able to drop another one in the net. The shot originally got delayed by Pickle firing too soon (A common problem for him rumor has it), but Eatons decided to give it to him anyway, moving up and clearing the way for a follow up shot. Hmm managed to get on the board just before the end of the period with a goal by Ron-Nation.

Second period, Eatons put on his game face, shutting Mazer down completely. Apparently, the fans were unexpected, as he announced, Eatons> u guys are making me blush. Leafy decided that it was time to play serious, and put one in the net with flair, assisted by UKM and the wannabe Ron Jeremy. The second period ended, tied up 2-2, but there was so much left to do!

In comes period 3, the period everyone forgot to stay on the other side of the crease. UKM tossed in 2 goals, Leafy was good for another. Then, with 1:30 left in the game, Hungery decided to keep Mazer from scoring, the hard way. Catching a BDC, it was time for a MaPS. Shooters lined up, goalie was ready, Ref called GO....and nothing happened. After several seconds (Of the 15 second limit) Mazer finally got moving, and missed, horribly. Alright, game shall continue. Puck is dropped, Hmm takes control, moves down the rink, SHOOTS!!!! And Jumper catches it, which means another BDC, and another MaPS, this time for Hmm. Shooters are chosen, goalie is ready, ref calls GO...and the puck phases immediately and goalie is out of CR. Line up and do it again. Ref calls GO...and they shoot it from the blue line straight @ the goalie. Nice. Game continues, and with 11 seconds left, Jumper tosses one in the net, closing it to 5-3, but thats pretty much game.

Stars:

3rd: Pickle
2nd: Eatons
1st: Leafy

I "sat" down with Leafy after the game for a short conversation.

LtFlagger> Leafy, to what do you attribute your domination of Mazer to tonight?
Leafy> Honestly it takes a winning attitude and lots of time to put up a performance like that. I have had many sleepless nights and sexless days to put in the preperation to put up those stats
LtFlagger> What was, in your opinion, the best moment in the game?
Leafy> When I deked out the whole team in my weasel bounced off the back of the net spun around and calmly put it in...
LtFlagger> Captain Pickle dominated your team in the first period. Did that concern you?
Leafy> The only thing that concerned me is that Mazer has no morals
LtFlagger> Why do you keep saying that Mazer has no Morals? Where and why did that start?
Leafy> They are ruthless. Have you seen their CI? Its a half naked girl... that is not the way to portray the female body. They have no morals.
LtFlagger> Your next game is against Explosive. How do you think you will do in that game?
Leafy> Well usually Explosive has curry spread all over their CR so they all stand there....In that game I plan to put curry all over the rink so they are confused. Then we will take care of business
LtFlagger> Ok, final question. If you were forced to have gay sex with 1 of your teammates, who would it be and why?
Leafy> UKM, because he would be catching and giving the thumbs up...

Good game to both teams!

There was a fair bit of anticipation about this game, although several people felt that the game play might be boring considering the styles of the two teams. However, the game starting off with a bang... Or, should I say, an explosion! Okay not really, that's awful. But it did start off with a bang. Just 55 seconds in, explosive walked it up to the enemy crease, and ho lobbed it to Blaze, who one-timered it to the top shelf to take the lead for Explosive, 1-0.

The reset of the period was pretty generic and boring, with Explosive controlling the pace of the game. Creasers didn't even manage a single shot the entire period, and, while explosive only had three, their shooting percentages proved to be pretty good, as Ho snuck a tricky one in on the near post near the end of the period to increase his team's lead to 2.

Explosive started off with some good pressure in the beginning of the second. There was a brief stoppage in play when Golden Arm spawned warbird Trick... Puker took the penalty for long time creasers goalie, and play resumed (The tag reads DC, just a typo out of habit). Once again, creasers struggled offensively, only putting up 2 shots. Trick placed a nice shot past Golden Arm on a weird fade angle to further increase the lead for team Paki.

The third period was more domination, although Violence put one in the back of the net for Creasers at the 3:35 mark. An explosive defender passed him the puck on an attempted check, and Violence placed it into the empty top shelf. Creasers tried to step it up offensively, but their weak lineup (3 level 1s) couldnt do anything against the explosive style and broncs/ff defensive combo.

Overall, the pace of the game was boring, because Jack played a dominant midfield game for creasers, so Explosive's offense didnt really dominate per say, but the creasers forwards couldn't get anything going at all, making for a lot of transitional play around center ice.

Both teams records now sit at 1-1. There definitely seems to be a lot of parity this season, with only three teams remaining undefeated just 2 games into the season.

Stars:

3rd star- Mr.Jack (Dominant midfield game)

2nd star- Ho (Solid game on both sides of the ice)

1st star- Frozen Flame (excellent goaltending as usual)

Underdogs began the first period a man down. Due to this penalty-kill mentality, they actually made sure they had a man back on every play and took their time with the game, managing to allow both Sertifi and Spree to put in goals making it 2-0 UD - despite being a man down.

Underdogs finally got 6 players in the game, which was the beginning of the end. With their newfound confidence in a full-lineup, for some reason they simply stopped playing defense and allowed 927592759 breakaways for Sting. Navimaster, choking on both his first and second breakaway of the game, would finally manage to put one in on his third. Rubber Glue would also score his first goal of this period.

Setneb, UD ship 8, seemed to get unnerved by the fact the game was tied - and the massive breakaway's allowed by UD didn't help. Rubber would put in goal after goal after goal. Sting's defense didn't put up much of a fight, and despite not getting NEARLY as many breakaways as Sting (can't remember one) UD would score goal after goal after goal. Rubber would score 3 more goals this period on the breakaway. Humperspanky would also put one in.

Overtime lasted 4 minutes and 39 seconds. Underdogs completely dominated for 4 minutes of that overtime, but again forgot about defense and let in a goal by Rubber-Glue.

Sting wins their first game of the season, albeit showing poor defense and being greatly outplayed by Underdogs.

Fun Facts!
- Sting had 14 shots, while UD had 36.
- Rubber-Glue scored 5/7 of his teams goals - most if not all on the breakaway.
- Sting managed 61 checks, while UD managed 110.

I reffed 9/10 of game but missed Stars so game report stars go to:

3rd: SavDan (4pts, 30 checks, UD HRP)
2nd: Navimaster (7pts)
1st: Rubber-Glue (6pts, 5/7 goals for Sting)

Somehow, I'm supposed to stretch this into a long, exciting and detailed game report. I have no idea how that is going to happen considering the first 2 periods of play was probably the most boring Spaceship Hockey ever played. The only really exciting thing was the repeated attempts at scoring goals from the wrong side of the crease. Someone forgot to tell these teams not to cross that little red line.

Throughout the game, Saving, whose real identity shall not be revealed here, made a great impression of a Levi CR sitting Maddack. He allowed almost no one to even get close to taking a shot, and when they did, Linix was right there to say hell no. Considering we all know who he really is, gotta give a special "Good boy!" to him for the effort.

The excitement for the game came in the 3rd period, with KickAshMan deciding he was a better goalie than Linix, and catching a wide shot from Goldeye in the crease. This landed him a 2 minute bathroom break, and once again the game continued. Then, the penalty was over, and Maelstrom nails an outlet to him just as he gets out of the box. Kam proceeds to rush it in, ballkills Afh (Since there is no other way around him, ever, period), and just skirts the Lanc Prox of Hot Rod to score.

Blueliners would make a valiant attempt at getting a goal in, but in the end it was fruitless, and the game mercifully ended, Legends getting their second win, and Blueliners taking their first loss.

Stars:

3rd: Saving
2nd: Linix
1st: Kam and his penalty of doom

League Official Judge stepped in to ref this game on short notice to keep things flowing smoothly in the RSHL.

From the scoreline and stats, this looked like a reasonably close game. Breakaway created slightly more chances with 15 shots on target to Phasers 13. Both teams picked up a DC and both teams capitalized and scored on the resulting power plays.

From talking to Judge it seems the Stars are as follows:

1st Star: Doobie (2 goals 1 assist for winning team)
2nd Star: Bla (2 goals 1 assist)
3rd Star: Slartibartfast (for being Slart!)

Reigning Season 5 Champions and MSHL veteran team Admirals opened up their account in MSHL Season 6 with a lacklustre display allowing several breakaways as they focused a little too heavily on Offensive efforts.

Returning with some of the Presidents Cup winning team from MSHL Season 4 was Underdogs. With the core of T$Z, aznfear, mastakith and Roli all showing up for a vintage performance. MY initial concern was for the depth of the team with numerous notable players missing from the squad I.E. smalls, Mr. Jack, Tanooki and Koufax. However the Captains have been smart, and a couple of solid (for the mshl) signings included the ever improving Lancaster of The Wqlf, setneb, Hull Breach and the Guy everyone loves to hate Sertifi.

A pretty good crowd turned out for this 5pm sunday game, The goal judge frequency was always packed and near 20 people looked on from spectator mode.

Period 1 saw underdogs come out the better team, they looked more threatening with the puck and tried to grind admirals down, however when Admirals were back as a unit this was incredibly difficult. Underdogs managed 6 shots this period to Admirals 3, the reward for their effort was a breakaway from a check in midfield allowing t$z, Sertifi and Setneb to go on the attack, Chaotic got close to saving the day, but his warbird only managed a dud on t$z as he shot the puck home to make it 1-0.

A little later t$z threaded Savdan (warbird) into a great position but sadly he stuck his nose in the crease as he scored in the top corner. t$z followed up this with a wild shot miles wide that almost worked as a pass to Sertifi. Period 1 ended with Gotrek winning in RPM, but admirals winning little else.

In Period 2 we saw a play involving primarily Spree (Weasel) cut through Admirals defence but sadly (for spree) his end product phased past Solid (Shark) denying his team yet another goal. Spree did not give up and t$z handed him the puck to slam in home in the top corner, this time it was good. Underdogs now had a 2 goal lead.

Gotrek (Weasel) tried to reply with some nifty moves, including the dunk it in the back of net and hope the goal judges will call it clean, sadly despite a few joke clean votes in his favour this plan failed. The answer for Admirals was gilder,with an assist from his long term playmate Gotrek, An awesome pass across the front of the crease in-between the goalkeeper and numerous underdog defenders gave gilder (Javelin) an easy shot into the bottom corner. In his excitement Gilder then abused his development powers and called the goal clean, nothing on the penalty chart for that one!

Goal by gilder!
Wait while the referee calls the goal.

gilder calls the goal Clean.
Clean goal scored by gilder! Assists: Gotrek, Carlito Brigante
Score: Admirals:1 Underdogs:2

The period came to its climax when Savdan was assessed for Blatant Defensive Creasing, perhaps a little harsh as it was touch and go to whether he was even in the crease, replays were used to confirm the shot was on target and Savdan had to sit out the rest of the period and part of the 3rd, If any consolation he had prevented Admirals getting an equaliser. Gotrek again won RPM but admirals were still losing!

Early into period 3 and demonic scored, and the zone crashed in disbelief. Server was not the only person or thing calling Crease, so this goal was struck off. The game was restarted at the beginning of period 3. However we can now release footage of this server crashing goal! ?rec play recordings/hockey/s35/1413/p3_1_goal_Demonic.rec

Savdan tried to sneak back into the game as a terrier, due to lack of honesty and not just PMing the ref to explain the mistake he was told to sit the game in spectator mode or be assessed a further 2 minutes if he re entered the ice after his BDC was up.

Eventually the game got back under way,and Phreddy delighted Admiral fans everywhere with a lovely dive between the bullets and shot into the top corner. The score was 2-2 Underdogs looked like they were being undone.

Things were looking really good for Admirals, right up until Hull Breach made a vital steal against the flow of admirals pressure and broke away with Sertifi who pulled off a nice shot into the bottom corner of the net,the score was now 3-2 in Underdogs favour.

Admirals were missing Gotrek who would only be available if they could make it to Overtime. But Underdogs had not quite finished biting, Sertifi came really close when he hit the top post of an open net, a goal that surely would have polished admirals off. It didn't matter however as a few more bad passes in the last 30 seconds for admirals meant that time simply ran out.

A great performance by Underdogs today to defeat the MSHL champions, and continue their franchises successful history.

3rd Star: Gotrek – Great presence on the ice for the 2 periods he played
2nd Star: Sertifi – Game winning goal, and an assist early on
1sr Star: t$z – Underdogs leader, 1 goal and 1 assist

Tonight we saw the season opener for Blueliners and Mazer be played out, overseen by a newb Ref. With the exception of a single server crash (Which wasn't my fault, I swear!), the game was played without a hitch.

The first goal of the game was put in by jalrix early in the 1st. The vote was a unanimous, though small, call for lag as the shot phased the BL defender. Chaos ensued, and was quickly quieted thanks to a no blue request. The next goal, by Arcadian, was also border line. The vote was in favor of a clean shot. Then came the crash, and the game was delayed for several minutes as we got everything back running.

The rest of the game went without much in the way of issue. One thing to note however was chrono coming in, and going solo against the Mazer D to score twice. He didn't even look like he was trying either.

Stars were: (With one update in 1st star)

Thank you all for letting me get my first time down. Good luck in the coming season! Oh, and almost forgot. "African Panda is the best GJ ever."

After a bit of a hilarious start with the RW arena being deemed unusable due to the ball disappearing under the lvz, the game was moved to rshl and able to begin.

After a bit of back and forth play, the first real action took place on a DC by Mae|strom. RW was unable to capitalize however, and it ended up being Legends own DarkAlpha that scored the first goal of the game, ending the first period 1-0.

Reppowarriors put up a valiant effort in the 2nd, resulting in some close calls made by the referee. On the stat sheet however, it would show Devastat|on, Legends warbird, putting in a pair of goals. J-Walking would finally get RW on the board with a late goal to make the score 3-1 Legends.

In the 3rd period, Devastat|on and Chagrin both put in goals to push Legends total to 5. The "goal of the game" however would have to go to Tanooki, who somehow managed to get lucky and kill two defenders on the crease to win the ball and put it in the empty side of the net.

Ballance managed to reveal a few tidbits himself:

Ballance> and im letting natalie play for me
Ballance> next game against reppowarriors
Ballance> put dat in game report

Overall a great showing by both teams, and we'll be ?alias'ing Ballance when the time comes.

Sting, despite showing 8 players to the game, ended up with only 5 eligible players (One being ineligible by approximately a 40 minute margin). This forced Sting to play a man down the entire game.

Employing a dual-mid system with King Andrew and JDMSpooN, they allowed only two goals this period despite being down a man. Peppy Hare managed to put in a goal for Sting, somehow bk'ing the CC defender and fading it past Art Of Monkey.

This ended the period 2-1 for CC, and this would be the closest the game would get. Sting lost focus after this period and CC put in 3 more goals in both the 2nd and the 3rd to end the game 8-1 for CC.

Sting Captain Peppy Hare was subsequently axed from the team, so what will the future hold for Sting? Will they be able to recover and put up a good showing against a tough Underdog squad?

CC, a projected playoff team, also put up a great showing in their season opener. They move on to face Hmmmshl next.

Good game to both teams.

3rd Star: Acido
2nd Star: Peppy Hare

Nub Factor postpones the match against Hipcheck on Sun Aug 31 2008 5:00 PM. NF has 2 postponements left.

Again, mistake by the captain. Please note that you look very carefully before you postpone a game. This is the last time that i manually correct it. Next time you've used the postponement.

Dreamteam took the advantage from the get go and never looked back. HMM had a weak showing in the midfield, and goaltender Franx, fan favorite, but inexperienced, suffered as a result of it.

There was a glimmer of hope for HMM as long time RSHL star Ukillme showed up to play in second and third periods, but it didn't make much difference. Dreamteam put up around 30 shots the entire game, and ended up mercying 13-3 with a few minutes left to go in the third period.

One has some serious questions to ask Hmm if they want to survive the entire season... They fielded one of the best possible lineups they could muster considering their roster, and without a strong goaltender, I anticipate many repeats of this game in the future.

Dreamteam looks forward to its first real test next tuesday against the revamped Phasers, while Hmm will try to pull things together and build some team confidence with a match against long time mshlers and RSHL newcomers Mazer on Thursday.
Stars: 3rd, Ukillme 3g: 2nd, bitemark 3 g 4a: 1st, Mickey Avalon 5 g 2a

Everyone please welcome Sika as our new webmaster. He's got a lot of experience with coding, design, graphics and all sorts of web development stuff, having coded the super neat FHZM for us last season (which I'm told will be used again this year but only for playoffs).

So ya, welcome aboard, Sika!

By an error of one of BHs captain, they 'accidentally' postponed this game. Its still on!

Explosive was president cup winners last season and Baby Seal Killers finished towards the bottom of the standings. How can this be?

Well, Explosive lost a few key players and BSK picked up some great additions.

The game was pretty much a blowout with BSK, lead by Rage, Ballance, and Rukus. Also having Jugg in the net to provide solid goaltending. Explosive started off without Frozen Flame in net, and without Broncs' crease sit. Frozen Flame would show up late in the 3rd and provide great goal tending but by then it was too late. Without Broncs sitting on the crease in a levi, Explosive was doomed as well.

3rd star: Ballance (2g, 2a)
2nd star: Jugg (Shutout until 4 seconds left)
1st star: Rage (hatty aka 3g, 2a)
