Tap vs. Mainstreet
MTR got it in
gear Tuesday with a 5-2 win over Mainstreet.
New forward, Bill Parsons opened the scoring with a goal from close
range. Parsons then added another with
an on-ice shot. Tracy Adams got into
the act with another tally. Ken Sipe
got on the score board with a top-shelf shot.
Tracy Adams finished the scoring by picking off an anticipated cross-ice
Mainstreet pass and breaking in for the final goal. The MTR boys looked solid all game

Tap vs. Earthscapes
It was typical Tuesday Night trouble for the
'Tap Room as they put another one in the loss column falling to Earthscapes
4-1. Mark Evans played a solid game
holding MTR in the game as long as he could.
His support was no where to be found.
Most of the team should have been charged admission the way they just
stood around watching.

Tap vs. Lakeshore Tavern
MTR looked solid for the 1st two
periods but ran out of steam in the 3rd. Steve Haines opened with a goal is the 1st to put MTR
up 1-0. Lakeshore quickly tied the
game. Steve Vaughan buried a breakaway
goal to put MTR up 2-1. Jim MacDonald
put in the final MTR goal, which then had the team at a 3-1 lead. After that it was all Lakeshore as they
stormed back to a 4-3 victory.

Tap vs. Time Out Lounge

Bethune. After that, Steve Vaughan put
MTR up 2-1 with a break away goal. Bill
Parsons got into the act again this week with an on-ice shot from close quarters. Steve Bethune finished the scoring with a
second effort rebound shot on a break away.
TOL scored late in the 3rd to put the score at 4-2 but the

Tap vs. Screen Ideas
MTR finally looked like the team from last
year with a landslide win over Screen Ideas.
Steve Vaughan got MTR on the boards first with a break away. Steve Haines then banged in a rebound from
behind the SI goalie to go up 2-0. New
forward, Bill Parsons then put MTR up 3-0 with a quick shot from close
range. Steve Bethune then got into the
act at the end of his shift with a vintage mystifying wrist shot. Brent Finner, who has been the iron man
scoring machine, pinched up an tallied the 5th goal. Bill Parsons nailed the 2nd of
the night with a double hit chip shot in front of the SI goalie. Bill was claiming the assist and goal. The shutout was spoiled by SI forward, Dean
Churchill with a shot to the crossbar then off goalie Mark Evans’ back and into
the net. Brent Finner capped off the
evening with a “nothing but net” goal.

Tap vs. Racquets (Blueline)
MTR came up short again against the boys from
Racquets. The night started out with a
double whammy bad as AWOL goalie Mark Evans was also the beer man! Mainstreet goalie, Mike Allsbrook was kind
enough to fill in for Mark. MTR opened
first with a goal from iron man Brent Finner.
Tracy Adams continued his scoring streak with another goal. Steve Vaughan claimed the last goal for
MTR. To add salt to the wound, Dave
D’Alcorn from Racquet’s netted the game winner against MTR this week.

for goal with LO to 3-3 but gave up 2 additional goals in the 3rd to
post the loss. Brent Finner, Rich
St.Denis, and Bill Parsons scored for MTR

Tap vs. Mainstreet
MTR continued its bid for the 1st
round draft pick with another loss to Mainstreet. Goalie Mike Allsbrook’s glove proved to be to sure as few
rebounds came to the waiting MTR sticks.
Tracy Adams put MTR on the boards when goalie Allsbrook mishandled the
puck from behind the net – giving it up to Tracy as he buried an open
netter. Ken Sipe got his first one of
the season with a pass from Brent Finner.
Brent finished the tallies with 2 goals late in the game. By that time the damage had been done.

Tap vs. Earthscapes
All went bad Tuesday when the MTR boys faced
an army of Earthscapes players. MTR
knew something was up when ES showed up with nearly four lines of players. MTR started fast but as the game wore on, ES
came up with a barrage of goals. Bob
Korndorfer crashed the net and came up with the only MTR goal to spoil goalie
Bob Graham’s shutout. Hopefully the MTR
boys can shake this one off and get some Christmas magic going against the
Mainstreet boys next week.

Tap vs. Lakeshore Tavern
Brent Finner (this guy is a machine!)
continued his goal scoring frenzy with 4 goals Tuesday to put a “W” up for the
MTR boys. MTR came out solid and
fast. MTR let up a bit in the 3rd,
allowing 2 goals. Tracy Adams also
tallied with drive to the net goal.
Steve Haines added one with a text book pass from Steve Vaughan. The MTR boy are not sure if they want more
wins or to play for the draft pick at this point. Only time will tell.
Game MVP (again) – Brent Finner!!!

Tap vs. Time Out
I only was able to see the last 7 minutes of
the game. Steve Bethune was the only
scorer to be found for MTR. The team
was sour after the game but cheered up after a few refreshments. Let’s get ‘em next time

Tap vs. Screen Ideas
Last time MTR played Screen Ideas, MTR let
them back into the game and ultimately to a tie. This time out it was MTR who got back to the tie. It was the Brent Finner show as both teams skated
to what looked would be a 1-1 tie. With
11 seconds left in the game, Kevin Stafford from SI blazed it to score what
looked like the game winner. From
center face off, the puck was dumped to the SI goalie where he froze the
puck. With about 3 seconds left, Brent
Finner tied the game with a shot that was redirected several times, stunning
the SI team!
Game MVP – Brent Finner!!!

Tap vs. Racquets
MTR finally got one in the “W” column with a
victory of the boys in red from Racquets.
Playing center, Tracy Adams opened the scoring with a sharp angle goal
on Racquets goalie, Scott Christmas.
Steve Vaughan then lit it up on the next 2 to put MTR up 3-1. Brent “Rocket Man” Finner capped of the
scoring with a goal in the 3rd.
The defense was solid all game.
Mark Evans came up big a few times.
Let’s see if MTR can keep it going next week against Screen Ideas.

Tap vs. Lemmon Oil
MTR continued on the skids with another
loss. As the MTR boys hit the late
night game they were without goalie Mark Evans – AWOL. Scott Christmas from Racquet’s was kind enough
to fill in. The boys put up a fight but
in the end could not get it done. Brent
Finner was star of the team with 2 goals – 1 of which was tipped in from a shot
from his dad, Larry Finner, from the point.
Rich St.Denis added to the good with a goal from the short side. Steve Vaughan also tallied with a face off
shot which was unseen by goalie Keith Gabris.

Tap vs. Mainstreet
MTR lost in a controversial game Tuesday
against Mainstreet. MTR had a goal waved
off when the ref said the puck was kicked in.
Too bad they did not notice that it went in off a Mainstreet
player! Another blunder came when MTR
chipped the puck over the blue line out of their zone only to have Mainstreet
bring the puck back in offsides with no call and score. The ref stated that we brought it back over
the line! MTR sent several shots
ringing off the posts during the game – just not our night. MTR is still looking for that elusive 1st
win.

Tap vs. Earthscapes
MTR came up short against the improved
Earthscapes(ES) (formerly Tan-n-Tone) team Tuesday. MTR hung in there with 7 skaters until the end of the game
keeping within 2 goals of ES. It was
the Brent Finner/Jim MacDonald show for MTR.
Brent ended up with a hat trick and Jim MacDonald 2 goals. Hopefully we will have better attendance
next week.

Tap vs. Screen Ideas
MTR came out aggressive for the opening
season game with a 2 goal start. Tracy
Adams started the season off with a tally in the 1st period. Brent Finner put in the 2nd goal
with a blast from the slot. MTR forgot
there were 3 periods in the game and let Screen Ideas back in the game for 2-2
tie.
