Super-Charged Rhinos Victorious Over Remnants, 8-7 in OT

Holtsville, NY--Led by attackman Bryan Davis, The Rhinos scored 5 unanswered goals in the last few minutes of play including one in overtime, to bury the Remnants, thus avenging week one's forfeit loss. Davis had two goals including the game winner in OT. The Rhinos D and their goalie only allowed one goal during the entire second half. Their middies ran the Remnants off of the field. The Rhino's face-off specialist destroyed the Remnants FOGO Cliff Sinert, by winning over 90% of them. The Remnants wasted solid play by goal-keeper Keith Huber. Huber who is looking to return to his 1985 East Islip MVP form, had numerous stuffs at point-blank range and did a tremendous job of clearing and also quarterbacking the defensive unit. However, one man could do only so much. The defensive and midfield units were riddled with stupid penalties and sloppy plays. In fact, the only time the Remnants were able to score in the second half was on a freak play. Rhino D-Man Jim Laura helicoptered an opponent's stick and the ball miraculously landed in the stick of a wide open teammate who put it away. Bystanders observing the Remnant's' collapse called it "a self-imposed embarrassment and mockery of the sport".

The top four teams make the playoffs in this league. It looks like the Rhinos are beginning to gel and might squeak in. On the other hand, the Remnants are ready to be put out to pasture (or merge with Bruno's).
