Old Dawgs captain and former anal spelunker Marty Richardson led a balanced attack, scoring his fifth and sixth goals of the season. Mike Freeman and Mike Wimmer both continue to impress, each scoring a single marker, Rand Peterson got his second, and defenseman Greg Clinard finally contributed something other than his shit eating grin, banging home his first of the 2011 campaign.

Dawgs forward Mario Lopez assisted on three of his teammates' goals, and now is fifth in scoring in the SDOHL with eight points.
Goalie Al Sterner, aside from letting in another of his trademark shocking goals, played okay for a broken down old fat boy, stopping 25 of 27 shots. He is now second in the SDOHL in both save percentage and total saves, falling behind some hernia ridden, punk-ass kid from B&K Supply that posted a 41 save shutout last week.
Screw you, Timmy. Your wife says I'm better in bed, so there.
Both teams came out flying in the first period, but it was the Old Dawgs that broke through five minutes in for the first goal. Mike Freeman, once again proving he's much smarter than he looks, parked in just the perfect spot in front of the net to stuff in a rebound from an Eric Wilks shot. It was his career best fourth goal of the winter season, and gave his team the all important lead.
Richardson doubled the Old Dawgs lead ten minutes later, taking a pass from the ever solid defenseman Dave Chamberlin, and drilling one past Touchstone goalie Vince Sciandra. Then Greg Clinard made it 3-0 right before the end of the opening session, slotting in his first from the top of the circle.
After Richardson nailed his second of the game three minutes into the middle period, things were looking great for the Old Dawgs with a four goal lead. But Sterner, after stopping all 10 Touchstone shots in the first, let in a howler at the four minute mark. Doc Lyons lifted a weak shot in from the blue line that bounced in front of Sterner, struck the tip of his stick, and delected right under the crossbar. 4-1, and new life for Touchstone.

Things got less comfortable three minutes later, when Touchstone's Keith Horstman skated in on a breakaway, and beat Sterner like a Saudi woman with an opinion to cut the Dawgs lead in half. But Rand Peterson restored order for the good guys right near the end of the second, and the lead was back to 5-2 entering the third.
Even though Touchstone peppered the Dawgs goal in the final frame with 13 shots, it was the Old Dawgs that got the only tally, when Mike Wimmer wristed in his third of the year to seal the game. They are now featuring a very balanced attack, with five players in the top 12 in SDOHL scoring.
The boys now resume play after the Thanksgiving break, taking on Team Yellow, the only team to have blemished the Old Dawgs record thus far. Back in October, they defeated the Dawgs 2-1 in a shootout, when Al Sterner assumed the role of a big block of swiss cheese. Game time is 7:15.
