7/16/00 playoff loss 3-11 Sabers
Summary
We started this game with a very tired bunch of players. Only a hour break between this game and the earlier win against the Thrashers. Tim,Andy,Matt C. Dave, and Theresa fill out the roster with Brandon in goal. Thanks to Theresa for filling in at the last minute and giving us a much needed sub. They scored within the 1st minute of the game and things got ugly after that. Late in the 3rd period the Sabers had a commanding lead. They started acting like a bunch of jerks. Andy grabs the facemask of #88 and they wrestle each other to the ground throwing punches. The game was stopped with a few minutes left in the 3rd period. This loss knocks us out of the playoffs.

7/2/00 lost 6-8 Roller Dogs
Summary
They had the lead throughout most of the game, although we managed to keep up with them pretty well, considering most of their players were less than half our ages (I thought this was an adult league????). We finally pulled ahead late in the 3rd period. They then scored a flury of goals at the end of the game to win it. This was the last game of the session for our team. We finished the session with a 4-6 record.

6/27/00 lost 0-1 Sabres
Summary
Lots of shots from our side but nothing could get by their goal keeper. They scored in the 2nd period and thats all they needed to win. We pulled Brandon out with less than a minute but still couldn't get it in with an extra attacker on the floor.

The defense for keeping us in the game.

6/25/00 shootout loss 3-4 Roller Dogs
Summary
We scored 2 goals to take a early 2-0 lead. Thanks to Doug, Theresa, and Trent for sticking around after the 30& over game and playing for the Clown Punchers. We need the subs badly. The Roller Dogs came back to take a 3-2 lead late in the 3rd period. We pulled Brandon with about 40 seconds left in the game. With 4 seconds left in the game we had a faceoff in front of their goal. Nate took the faceoff. When the ref dropped the puck Nate knocked it forward a few feet. Andy dives headfirst at the puck and chips it over the goalie to tie the game. We scored 1 goal in the shootout and they scored 2 times to win the game.
Player of the Game
Andy with 2 goals
Why we are in the C league play of the game:
When we pulled Brandon at the end of the game, Scott didn't have all his equipment on to go in. Andy hops the wall and ends up getting the late goal.

Summary
We started the game with 3 skaters and a goalie. The other team was kind enough to skate 3 on 3 until the 4th player showed up. We fell behind right from the start. Scott got call for elbowing early in the game. Brian and Andy got the 2 goals for the Punchers. With about 5 minutes left in the 2nd period Nate showed up and we had a sub.

A strong performance turned in from everyone on our team. The Rollerdogs roster was a who's who from the B league.

A 5-1 lead at the end of the 2nd. They scored 2 quick goals in the 3rd to make it a 5-3 game. Nat scored a great backhanded goal to make it 6-3.
