If you haven't seen it yet here's some clarification on Da Rules: http://www.reddit.com/r/NDZHL/comments/275cex/some_rule_clarifications/

And also a new expansion team! :D http://www.reddit.com/r/NDZHL/comments/275lgi/another_expansion_team_aytos_sk/

To save time this game took place at the Swisston Hockey Rink. I was trying to ref but my internet was acting frazzled so I only caught a little bit of the game. I'm sure someone else can explain what happened better than me, but basically pancake_sniper got a hat trick and the Little Latvia Grizzlies won the game. Final Score: Little Latvia 3 - Mt. Augusta 1

This was one of the lowest scoring games so far, and I wonder what caused that. Perhaps the lag, which was pretty bad for everyone from what I understand, or maybe these two teams are evenly matched, and counter each other's play styles perfectly. Who knows.

The important thing is: by winning by 2 goals, Little Latvia now takes first place in the league. To come back, Mt. Augusta will need to win the next make-up game, since a draw would still have LL on top with their higher goal difference.

The next game will be some point in the future, after it was postponed due to a fight/refpearling and whatnot. This rivalry is getting heated, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Thanks! :D
