Superstars of Ghettonian Descent

1:00AM and I can't sleep. Here's the recap of the rematch between SPH Sharks and Ghetto Superstars:

Last time we faced off, the Ghetto Superstars jumped ahead early and cruised their way to a 5-1 win (I think it was 5-1, I'm too lazy to check). Having dropped down a tier, beating the once tier 4 Ghetto Superstars would be a huge morale booster.

Mike the 10 foot tall behemoth of a man was in net, I'm not sure where Randy was, and didn't bother asking. This game was plastered with goals, as we jumped out to an early lead in the first. Throughout the game everytime the Sharks were ahead a goal, the Ghettonian ones would tie it up. Off of my shotty memory I'd say they tied it up three times.

Dressed all in black it was hard to see, but I'm pretty sure the Ghetto Superstars were shaking in their skates, knowing they had to play against the once again united Chow Dang Chen line. Our first shift was arguably our best as we played most of the shift in the opponents zone. Chow would end up with an assist for the night, Dang an elbow for his troubles, me a continuation of my streak.

Jumping ahead to the third, we were up 5-4 when Chow sprang speedy Kevin for a breakout past. With a clear breakaway from the blue line, he made no mistake in putting it top shelf blocker side where Crosby hides his stubbles. With the insurance goal up 6-4 we were riding confident with minutes left in the third.

Showing their resiliency the Ghetto Superstars managed to get a goal with around two minutes left in the third to bring it to 6-5. Pulling their goalie they put tremendous pressure, and with not being able to clear the puck the Sharks took a needless penalty resulting in a 6 on 4 for around a minute left in the third.

With seconds ticking down, the Ghetto Superstars could not would not manage control of the puck and the puck trickled out of the zone as the seconds ticked to zero.

Sharks win 6-5.

Great win by the team, Ghetto Superstars counted on breakout passes early on, and then transitioned more to carrying the puck in as the game progressed. The score is deceiving as I believe that we played pretty well defensively. But all that matters is that we won.
