Old Dawgs captain and former salad tosser Marty Richardson again led the way for his club, scoring his seventh and eighth goals, and adding three assists. Forward Eric Wilks, bravely battling his way back from a severely bruised uterus sustained on opening night, put in his first two of the season, and made it through the entire game without screaming like a bitch.
Center Mario Lopez, whose wife just recently gave birth to their first child, celebrated by banging in his third and fourth of the year, while Mike Freeman, Mike Pijanowski, and Danny Cashman each tallied single goals for the club.
Last season's Vagina Trophy winner Al Sterner, struggling early in the winter season to find his 2011 form, played okay through two periods before surrendering three in the third during "garbage time". So far this fall, the only resemblance between Sterner's game and the Vagina Trophy has been the vagina part.

The Old Dawgs got off to great start, when Richardson slotted in his first just three minutes in, and then doubled the lead three minutes later. He is currently the point leader in the SDOHL, now stacked with a bunch of good players, with eight goals and a whopping 10 assists.
After Lopez got his first to make it 3-0, the Pickleheads answered back when Jim Moffatt scored two quick goals during the middle of the period. One of the new players to the SDOHL this year, Moffatt has 11 total goals, easily leading the league (but 0 assists). But Lopez restored the lead to two before the end of the frame, and the Dawgs led 4-2 heading to the second.
The Dawgs put the game away in the second, pouring in five unanswered goals. Freeman got his third of the year, Cashman his third, Pijanowski his fourth, and Wilks his first and second. With the outcome well in hand, the boys took it easy in the third period, and the Pickleheads made it look a little more like a game, scoring three. The only thing that suffered by the final goals was Sterner's goals against average, but he never worries about personal statistics.
The Old Dawgs will try to keep it going this week, but they run into the best team in the SDOHL so far, when they play Clockwork Orange. Clockwork Orange is undefeated in five games, and has only allowed 11 goals total. Game time is 9:55.
