Stars Burn Out - Fall to Huskies 8-2
I guess I don't have to write a summary for this game since it happened just the same as on October 1 when we lost to the Huskies 8-2 in that match.
In more exciting news...
After last night's shameful loss team statisticians determined that Chris "The Critter" Crittenden is just 4 minutes away from one of the most sought after milestones in SFAHL Division C hockey. The 500 PIM!
Crittenden served for 6 minutes worth of minor penalties Sunday night, bringing him to 496 total career minutes. With five games left in the regular season, Crittenden will have more than his fair share of chances to meet and exceed the milestone.
After the game Crittenden said he was unaware he was so close. "It's not a stat I keep really close track of. I just try to make sure I get on the scoresheet for every game. If I score a goal that's great, too, but most of the time it's just easier to guarantee a spot on the record with a penalty than anything else," Crittenden said Sunday night. The Critter said he doesn't have a favorite violation noting, "I usually generate a good number of stick penalties in a season. I'd do more illegal checking if I could just keep up with some of these kids out here. But there's nothing that makes me smile more than just getting on that scoresheet"
The Stars next outing is Tuesday, Election Day, at 9:30PM. Come out and show your support for the team and their penalty leader, Chris Crittenden. You may just witness history in the making.

I kinda figured that I would
I kinda figured that I would set the bar at the achievable 500 PIM plateau instead of 500 goals since I would have play until i'm about 115 years old to reach that milestone.
WOW! That is amazing,
WOW! That is amazing, considering that the Stars have only played 110 games since they came into the league in 2005. That's 4.5 mins per game. Pretty hard to do even for the most penalized team over the past 3 years, But since he personally keeps all his stats, I guess we have to honor it!
I'm rooting for you Critter!
