Week 3 Results
Game 1: The first game of the night featured the Tacos versus El Pollo, with the latter playing the double header. Coming into week 3, El Pollo sat at the top of the leader board with 2 wins and 0 losses. The weather was absolutely pristine at Fairchild park with a high of 70 to start the night. In the first period we would not see much scoring as both goaltenders came dialed in. Newton was between the pipes for El Pollo after an all day iron man in Denton while Ricky played keep for the Tacos, still recovering from a huge Rollerdads Ice Hockey win on Friday night.
The second period would open up the game as the duo of Jiminez and Hernadez would connect on three goals for the Tacos.
The third period saw El Pollo attempt to close the 3 goal gap with goals from Minerd and Yupanqui, but the offense of the Tacos was able to counter and hold off the surging chicken to secure the win.
Game 2: El Pollo was on the double header and squared up against Dignowity in the second game of the night. The weather had began to deteriorate with a cold breeze snapping the pristine, tropical conditions. The skaters of El Pollo were extremely gassed from the first battle and requested backup from game 1s goal scorer, Jiminez. This game was lively from the start with goals being traded 1 for 1 to end the first in a 3-3 tie.
The second period would open up with a one-man effort from Dignowity by Iacarella to add on two goals and assist on another extending the Dignowity led to three.
In the third period, after a questionable call from the official who might not have even been watching the game, El Pollo would attempt a first ever strategy in SARHL history. While on the PP, El Pollo would pull their goalie with 10 minutes of game left, to obtain a 5 to 3 skater advantage for the 2 minute penalty. In theory and on the white boards of the Dallas Cowboys lockerroom, this pay would work great, however in real life Dignowity would obtain a loose puck in the corner and breakout, putting the puck in the empty net for the shorthanded goal. Dignowity would add on one more late in the third to seal the 8-6 victory.
