Tonight the Sharks and Stars met in the consolation game of the LAIHA “C” league, this game was a rematch of last Sundays game, only tonight the outcome was in favor of the Stars. As was the case last weekend the Stars scored 1st, as Jesse Jamie and Henry worked the puck deep into the Sharks zone and Jesse put a slapper by the Sharks goalie. Tonight they Stars kept the pressure on the Teal shirted Sharks and Ken and Bob hooked up to give the Stars a 2-0 lead, heading into the 2nd period. In the second stanza the Stars once again found the back of the net as Ryan slid the puck behind the net-minder after taking a pass from Dave Henderson. But the Shark weren’t going to go away without a fight, and they crashed the net hard and picked up a goal of their own late in the period.
The 3rd period was defense, defense, defense for both sides, at the end of the period the margin was the same, 3-1 in favor of the Stars. With the horn to end the game, that also brought to a close the 2011 season for the Stars, a season that saw some exciting hockey, both offensively and defensively, and some mighty fine Goaltending I might add. The Stars scored 85 goals in their 20 games for a 4.25 goals per game average and Andrew held the opposition to 2.87 goals per game, which translates into some pretty good numbers. Each and every member of this team contributed offensively and defensively game in and out, and it shows in the team stats.
Next up the crew will have a get together in the coming weeks to let loose and have some more fun, but this time they won’t be swinging any hockey sticks.

With Destiny in their own hands(an I'm not talking about some lady down the street), the Stars took to the ice on Sunday night looking to solidify their hold on 4th place, and a slot in the playoffs. But alas the Sharks put a kink in the plans stealing a 4-3 win out from under the Stars. The Stars got on the board early in the game on Ken Howells 1st shift as he won a face off and raced in on the Sharks net-minder and cranked home a Short handed goal. The Sharks would fight back to tie the score before the end of the 1st period, thus putting the pressure back on the boys in balck.
The Sharks would grab another goal in the 2nd period to take a 2-1 lead into the final stanza. In the 3rd period all didn't go according to plan as the Sharks scored another goal , while the Stars managed to put together a few passes and Bob Bourget broke in and scored, bringing us to 3-2. Another goal by the Sharks set the final score at 4-2, and leaves the Stars hoping for some help from the other teams to slide into the playoffs. All will be determined sometime after Wednesday nights Games.4-11-2012
The Stars aligned ( pun totally intended), on Wednesday night to provide those in attendance with an exciting game of hockey. The black shirted ones got on the board early in the 1st period when Ken took a pass from Gerry and beat the caps goalie on a crazy bounce. The Stars would score again in the 1st, when Tim and Doug worked a little magic of their own, to make it a 2-0 lead. On to the 2nd period as Ryan would take a pass from Tim and Doug, to extend the score to 3-0. Doug would round out the Stars scoring for the game in the 3rd period, notching an unassisted goal.
The Stars would then tighten the defense further, denying the Caps any good looks at the net, and Andrew would snuff out any shots that would make their way to the net. But in the end the Caps would score a goal late in the game to set the final score at 4-1 Stars.So the hunt for the 4th spot in the standings is heating up, (like it hasn’t been?) even more, as the Stars try to secure a chance at the Championship game. With one game remaining for the Stars, and 3 for the Caps, the Stars will need some help for the other teams to remain in 4th place. As of today they hold a 1 point lead over the 5th place Capitals, but trail the 3rd place Red Wings by 4 points.

The Stars fall 3-0 to the Pens on Sunday night, a night in which the bounces weren't kind to the team in Black. Playing with a shortened bench due to spring Break travels. The Pens scored early in the 1st period, and the Stars fought and fought but couldn't break the lid on the Pens Goal.
The Stars will be back in action on Wednesday 4-11 at 8:30 to take on the Caps.
