Miracle on Ice....Whalers Finally Win!!!

Do you believe in Miracles?!?!?  Seriously...like sea-splitting miracles?  If so, then you know there was divine intervention tonight when the UVHL Whalers avoided going 0-9-1 on the season with a 4-3 upset of the Lumberjacks.  A Grade-A Miracle.  

The Jacks had easily handled the Whalers in their previous two games, but the Whalers made some roster moves, sending Captain/Manager Kelly "The Mouth" Park and starting goaltender Tucker "Big Sexy" Garrity-Hanchett to the minors.  That message clearly sparked something in the Whalers who played an excellent game in front of alternate-goaltender Luke "McNuke" McCormick who had 30 saves in the win.  The Lumberjack's Ryan "The Liberator" Libbey had 24 saves in the loss, but did come up big on a pair of breakaways to keep his team in it.  

It seemed as though the Lumberjacks were a bit lost without their Captain Jay "The Zamboni" Zanleoni who was home preparing for the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Championship in July.  Zanleoni performs under the name "DogZilla", you can buy t-shirts and other merchandise at www.JayEatsDogs.com.

A big night for the Whaler's Chris "The Piss" Inserra who had a pair of goals and helper in the win.  His game winner with 4:37 to play was a great rush, turning Libbey inside out like a pretzel.  

The Lumberjack's Jordy "McToeDrag" McGee was his usual self, putting up a trio of points on a goal and two apples, but couldn't replicate the 7 point night he had last week against Tuck.   The Whalers did a good job of keeping McDangles to the outside for most of the night, and his fellow Potato Loving linemates, Pat "McNuggets" McDonough and Neil "Big Mac" MacKenzie were quite.  

Overall another fantastic game between the bottom two teams in the UVHL.
