UPPER VALLEY HOCKEY LEAGUE

ODDS:	Tuck by 1
OVER/UNDER:	5

Tuck is coming off a tough loss last week to the Jacks and looking to rebound. Tuck is led by Jed McDonald, John Dawson and Dan Rosen in the net. Tuck will be without Johnny Mathias due to his game misconduct last week.

The Nords are coming off an embarassing loss last week as they were up 3-1 going into the third losing the game 5-4 in a shoot out. The Nords look to get back in the winning column led by Jamie Solon and Pierce Mayhew.

This should be a good clean game with Tuck winning 3-2.

With both teams coming off of loses last week both teams were eager to get back into the winning column. The Nords came out of the gate fast lead by Jamie Solon who had numerous chances in the first five minutes of the game but Dan Rosen shut the door each time. Tuck had a few chances as well but JT was there to make the saves. Tuck broke open the scoring with Michael Boches picking Mike O"neil in the defensive zone and going in on a breakaway to beat JT high glove side. The Nords continued to pressure after giving up a goal but Dan Rosen continued to make big saves. The period ended with Tuck leading 1-0 and both goalies keeping their teams in the game.

The second period started with both teams continuing to pressure and at 12:02 Tuck"s Brandon Harrington (out of retirement) put them up 2-1 after picking up the puck along the boards and taking it to the other end beating JT low stick side. The Nords finally got on the scoreboard at 9:22 with Roger Phillips picking up the garbage in the front of the net after a shot from Mike O"neil. Less then a minute later the Nords took the first penalty of the night and put Tuck on the PP. On the PP Harrington got his second of the night unassisted as he came out of the corner on a cycle he took a shot and it hit JT or D in front of the net and trickled in to put Tuck up 3-1. Tuck continued to pressure the Nords until 3:59 in the period the Nords go their chance on the PP and get within a goal of Tuck. The Nords couldn't get anything going on the PP and managed to only get one shot. Once Tuck killed the penalty they continued to pressure the Nords and with just 17 seconds left in the period Jed McDonald put Tuck up 4-1 with nice passes from Will Collins and Brandon Harrington.

The third period started with both teams having chances but neither were able to capitalize for the first five minutes of the period. At 9:50 Jed McDonald got his second of the night from Harrington and Conrad Trimbath to put Tuck up 5-1. Tuck continued to dominate the play as JT stood on his head with hopes his team would chip away at the lead. Tuck takes the game over for good with about four minutes left, Michael Boches gets his second of the night putting Tuck up 6-1. To cap off his five point night Harrington got his third of the night with just 6 seconds left off a nice back door pass from Will Collins and Jed McDonald, Tuck wins 7-1.

Notables: Tuck dominated this game on the score board but the Nords did have some chances, however Dan Rosen played an unbelievable game with 31 saves. JT also had a good night in net with 32 saves, although he gave up seven goals the Nords defense had a hard time containing Harrington and crew so it wasn't all JT's fault.
