Dawgs Streak Hits 20 With 7-4 Win

The Dawgs I squad flexed their muscles once again last Tuesday night, running their season record to 7-0, and their EAHL unbeaten string to 20 with a solid 7-4 victory over Cobra Kai.

The Hump Line continues to be in great form, totaling 11 points in the contest. EAHL leading scorer Shaun Hollis piled up five of those points, with his second consecutive hat trick and two assists, while linemates Dan Pham and Matt McGarvey each notched a goal and two helpers.

Ageless wonder Dennis Heaton banged in his fifth of the fall season, and semi-defenseman Tito Pijanowski put on another of his patented end to end rushes, wristing in his second.

Goalie Al Sterner, who this week was pulled kicking and screaming into the golden years of his life, went brain dead in the third period, giving up three goals, but still held on for the win. He spoke with reporters after the game.

"Al didn't like giving up those goals in the third. Now the game feels like when Al has sex with his cousin. You get the job done, it feels good for a minute, but it's a little bit wrong."

The game was tight early, with each team getting one goal in the first period. Hollis put in his first, and then Tony Garin answered for Cobra Kai with the first of what would be all four of his team's goals.

In the second, Pham, Pijanowski, and Hollis all tallied to give the Dawgs some breathing room. Cobra Kai didn't have an answer, and the good guys were up 4-1 heading to the third.

In the final frame, Garin was given credit for a goal that never crossed the line to close the gap to two, but McGarvey and Heaton quickly restored order to put the game out of reach. Sterner then gave up a softie, as a Garin shot deflected off the heel of his glove, bounced over Sterner's shoulder, and trickled in.

Hollis and Garin matched goals late in the game to make the final 7-4. Hollis is now way ahead in EAHL scoring stats, with 14 goals and 11 assists, six points clear of HTM's Ryan Robinson. McGarvey sits in fourth, with seven goals and nine assists, and Pham is tied for sixth, with 11 goals and an unbelievably crappy four assists.

A look at the EAHL standings shows the Dawgs leading the league in goals, with 50, and have the lowest goals against, with 25.

After a bye week, the Dawgs now face maybe their toughest test thus far, when they play the Ice Pack at 10:40. Because of the success of last week's promotion, the Dawgs announced that Tuesday will be Tito Pijanowski Bobblehead Night. The first 10,000 fans will not only receive the rare collectible, but will be elligible for a drawing in which they can get angry and beat the shit out of anyone that gives them a dirty look.
