Squirrels 9, Nordiques 2

Posted on by

Squirrels Begin A New Era, Continue Dominance

Thursday’s game against the Nordiques marked the beginning of the post-Mike Bronson era for the Screaming Squirrels.   Bronson, who spent 3 seasons with the Squirrels, amassed a whopping 59 goals and 95 points as part of the Gold and Black.  Rumors surfaced earlier in the week that as a gesture of good faith Bronson left the Squirrels a nut before heading to Chicago and presented it to Vice President and General Manager Ben Sumner.  However Sumner, who was vacationing on the West Coast, was not available for comment.

The Squirrels would need no superstar power on this night as they jumped to a multi-goal lead by the 2nd period and initiated the running clock rule about half-way through the 3rd.   Chris Wautel, recently called up from the team’s minor league affiliate, struck for 2 goals and 4 points in the first period alone.  Although not managing to put the puck in the net, defenseman Kyle Gassert was effective in using the puck at knocking down and knocking out several Nordiques who already had a short bench.  One Nordique player had to leave the game with a busted finger from a Gassert slapshot.  At the other end of the ice, Squirrels goalie Eric Coulson managed to stop most of the dozen or so shots that trickled his way, however, Nordiques star Hector Rosario managed to sneak one in through the 5 hole and Regan Sweeney put in the 3rd period’s lone goal past Coulson as well.

Squirrels 6, Laughing Skulls 1

Posted on by

With a total of eight skaters at a time, the Squirrels played an all-round good game Sunday and beat the Laughing Skulls, 6-1.

It was Michael Bronson’s final game as a Squirrel, but he was only able to play in the first period due to a scheduling conflict with another team. He had an assist and in typical fashion, also a penalty before he went to the other rink. After he left, Tero Moberg finally found the rink and gave the Squirrels some relief on the bench.

This game will also be noted as one where players we could’ve used showed up to watch some of the game, including former roller captain Ed Bager. Hope you enjoyed the show, guys.

Squirrels 10, Piranhas 4

Posted on by

There were more Squirrels at Thursday night’s game versus the Piranhas than you’d find at a bird feeder overflowing with seed, and Piranhas backup goalie Greg Mumma played the best game of his career through 22 minutes of play, but none of that could stop the Squirrels from improving to an incredible 15-1-0 with a 10-4 victory at the Patrick Rink.  “I think the goalie gave up after I ran him over and scored a goal”, said Squirrels ringer Mike Bronson after the game. “But that’s what you gotta do, crash the goalie.”  Bronson had a relatively quiet night scoring only 3 goals and assisting on 2 others.  When asked about the goal, a visibly upset and dazed Mumma said, “They said ‘your mamma’ after the goal- ha ha, real funny.”  However other players on the ice reported only hearing someone say “You OK Mumma?”  Mumma denied allegations that he was only there to once again prove that the Squirrels should be playing in the B league.

Things didn’t start out well for the Squirrels, who gave up the first goal of the game, then fell behind again early in the 2nd period after relinquishing two quick goals within the first 2 minutes of the period.   Halfway through the 2nd period though the Squirrels got things rolling as Bronson got physical with Mumma sparking the beginning of a Squirrels scoring spree.  The Squirrels netted the game’s next 6 goals and outscored the Piranhas 8-1 over the remainder of the game.  Six different players scored for the Squirrels during that stretch, illustrating what a true team effort the win was.  Piranhas scoring threat John Kucharski was a non-factor the 2nd half of the game, being shut down by the Squirrels defense and goalie Eric Coulson.  “I thought we played a well disciplined game, controlling the puck and staying out of the penalty box,” said the Squirrels coach.
