04/04/2003 8:30 PM TGI Fridays
Tsevis' 4 TGI Friday's 6

Tsevis' luck ran out this game with the boys suffering their first lost since moving to Brentwood. TGI Fridays rallied with 3 unanswered goals in the third period to win the game 6-4 and advance in the playoffs. This game was definitely a roller coaster ride with Tsevis scoring the first goal in the first period, answered by two Friday's goals. In the second, Fridays scored again to make the score 3-1. Tsevis answered with 3 goals in a row to take the lead 4-3 in the third period. That's when Friday's had their two goal run to take the lead with under two minutes left. A timeout was called and the goalie was pulled which allowed Fridays to score an insurance goal from beyond the centerline.

Tsevis' 8 Runts 1

First of all, let me preface this recap by saying I never know why the Runts are below 500 in this league. I think they always play us tough and seem as good (to me) as many of the teams ahead of them in the standings. That said, this game was pretty much a repeat of the last game we played the Runts, with Tsevis' scoring fairly steadily throughout the game. I don't remember very much about the game. The first period ended 2-0 Tsevis'. In the second period, a Runt split the defense on a long outlet pass for a breakaway which he finished. Tsevis' came right back and from there, the game was all Tsevis's. The peroid ended with the score 5-1. Tsevis got 3 more in the 3rd, the last one with several seconds left in the game. The game was a little tought because we were a little short on guys (at least sober ones) unit Kevin H showed up in the second period.

Tsevis' 8 Notes 1

The Notes scored first in this game, taking advantage of a turnover in Tsevis' zone. That would be the extent of the scoring for the Notes in this game. Tsevis came back to score two more goals in the first period to make the score 2-1 at the end of the first. Tsevis' scored two more in the second period. The last period was all Tsevis' with four goals scored. The Notes, who are very vocal about not wanting us in this league, hacked throughout the entire game and did a good job of pushing our guys out from in front of their net. Based on this game, we shouldn't be in the same league as them.

02/28/2003 8:30 PM Undertakers
Tsevis' 8 Undertakers 3

Tsevis' got off to its usual fast start in the first period scoring a goal in the first shift. Even though the first period was dominated by Tsevis', the Undertakers came back to tie the score 1-1. We scored two more in the first and moved into the second period with the score 3-1. Now the rap on the Undertakers is that they play tough in the first period (in one game they were leading us 2-1) but if you can get a few goals ahead, they fold. This appeared to be the case tonight. With the second period all Tsevis' and the score 7-1 going into the third, the game seemed to be in the bag. In fact, one player on the Undertakers (the tall, layne staley looking guy) quit in frustration. That seemed to spark the Underakers in the 3rd period. They really hustled and took advantage of Tsevis' penalties. They scored two goals in the 3rd period to make the score 7-3 and pulled their goalie with several minutes left to try to make it even closer. This led to an empty net goal for us at the buzzer (the goal was good but the refs were waving it off). Final score 7(8)-3. Hats off to the Undertakers who gave us a game when we thought the game was over and played better without their quitter who thought he was too good for the team. Lesson: we have to remember to play ALL three periods, letting teams back in the game is a bad habit to get into.

02/14/2003 8:30 PM Hat Trick Consulting
Tsevis' 9 Hat Trick 2

This game got off to a slow start for Tsevis'. We scored just one goal in the first period. There were numerous chances but we just couldn't seem to bury the puck. Hat Trick's ringer '007' showed up to play midway through the first period, at he usually does. In the second period Hat Trick tied the game with a single man rush down the center of the ice all the way to the goal. Tsevis responded with several goals and the period ended with the score 4-1. Hat Trick got one more goal in the third but the rest of the game was all Tsevis with the final score being 9-1. The game was called with a few minutes left due to some last minute ugliness.

Tsevis' 9 Fischer's 1

Tsevis went to 5-0 (15-0) this game playing the last team in the league. We scored 5 goals in the first period, 4 goals in the second, and gave one up in the third with 20 second left in the game. This left the Chargers something to build on for their next game. The game was mostly uneventful except for the poor condition of the ice, resulting in many skates flying in the air.

Tsevis' 9 Fischer's 5

O.K. This game sucked right from the beginning. 10 seconds into the first period, Fischer's scored on a defensive turnover right off the faceoff. On the ensuing faceoff, Tsevis' took the puck down and scored the equalizer; score 1-1 at the end of the first shift. Fischer's would score one more in the first period to make the score 2-1 at the start of the second. The second period was seesaw, Tsevis' scored (2-2), Fischer's scored (3-2), Tsevis' scored (3-3), Tsevis' scored (4-3). Things were finally starting to look like they were going our way; but they weren't. Fischer's intercepted a pass to get a breakaway with which they made no mistake (4-4). A double minor penalty gave them a power play opportunity which they took advantage of to end the period 5-4. Fischer's played a conservative third period, holding the lead until there were 7 minutes left in the game. Tsevis then went on a scoring binge, netting 5 goals in the remaining minutes to give this game the appearence of a blowout. We were lucky to get this one.

01/24/2003 11:30 PM Runts
Tsevis' 6 Runts 1
Last time, we played the Runts, they stuck to a disiplined plan of dump and chase. In this game, they tried a different tactic of playing more defensively and keeping an extra man back. While they did dump the puck in our zone the entire game, they seemed to lack the chase which caused us some problems in the last game. Tsevis dominated the both the neutral zone and the Runts zone in the first period, and the Runts were outscored 3-1, their only goal being a turnover on their blue line resulting in a break away goal. A goal was scored in the second period and two in the third. Tsevis dominated the neutral zone but the Runts played tough defensively, being careful to keep players back and hold us to our lowest scoring point total (although we've been held to 6 goals three times).

01/18/2003 11:30 PM Hacianda Notes
Tsevis' 11 Notes 6

This games started slow with the first goal being with 3:53 left in the first period. The rink seemed exceptionally hot given the 10 degree outside temperature which might explain why both sides were having trouble getting a flow to the game. After the initial Notes goal, Tsevis' began to generate a little offense and the period ended 2-1 Tsevis'. The second period proved to be a disaster, with multiple defensive miscues. The Notes scored 5 goals while allowing only 4. This tied the score up at 6-6 with just several minutes left in the second period. Tsevis' took advantage of a scorekeeper's mistake giving the period two minutes extra time at the beginning of the period, scoring in the closing seconds of the period to make the score 7-6. In the third period, the Notes ran out of gas (they had a short bench) and the period was all Tsevis'. 4 unanswered goals made the final score 11-7 with Kevin H getting tossed out of the game with 5 minutes left for fighting. The Notes have a good defense, a goalie who plays really strong at times and nice uniforms and are better than their record indicates (they almost beat us the last time we played).

01/10/2003 8:30 PM The Undertakers
Tsevis' 8 Notes 2

Last time we played The Undertakers, they suprised us with a fast start scoring the first two goals and dominating the early part of the game before we came back in a big way. This game was similar. The Undertakers, through aggressive forechecking in Tsevis' zone, were able to score the first goal and take control of the game initially. However, Tsevis' came back and scored the next two goals, first period ending 2-1. About halfway through the second period, Tsevis' scored two goals very quickly, on being a weak one, and this seemed to slow The Undertakers down. Two more goals in the period made the score 6-1 after two. In the last period, The Undertakers continued to hustle, scoring one goal but Tsevis scored to the period with the final score 8-2.
