It was all about the pads in Friday night’s Otters vs Yaks game. Otter goalie, Jim Pozzabon came out for the warm-ups and stymied the Yak shooters in an 8-5 game.
Many a time Pozzabon had a one-two stop on the dark shirted sharpshooters. After the game, he was rewarded with a contract extension and will be the goalie for the rest of the season and the playoffs.
At the other end, sub goalie Bo Daly was bombarded with shots and played a really good game though there were times it seemed he was going in circles from the Otters relentless attacks.
Late in the first period, the Yaks went up 3-2. During the period change, Yak goalie Daly was heard saying something to Otter defenseman Dave Warner.
“He challenged me,” said Warner after the game. “He really pissed me off in saying I had no shot. I took the $20 that he gave at the beginning of the game out of my cup, gave it to him and said Game’s On!.”
Warner then took a nice feed pass from Jules Nolet and one timed it high past Daly to tie the score. That seemed to spur the Otters on as they scored three quick goals to go ahead 6-3.
The Yaks did come back in the third to narrow the score 6-5 but a nice defensive tip in by Rob Caplan made the score 7-5 late in the third.
There were two other paddings in the game. With the Yak goalie pulled for an extra attacker, Otter forward Val Kasvin shot into the empty net with one second to play.
“I felt like I have to pad my stats since I’m in my contract year,” Kasvin explained. “Jeez, Warner padded his tonight, shooting through our goalie’s five hole. If he can do it why can’t I?”
Suspiciously missing from the Otter lineup was little Alan Scheer who was out trolling for chicks and big Alan Nolet who was reported to being in Idaho trying to join a militia (see Atherton couple arrested).
