Who's taking home the cup?

**Consolation Skate at 7pm**

Southern Tier Brewing Steady Yeti and LM Custom Concrete Stone Guardians meet tonight at 10:00 PM at North Buffalo.

Southern Tier comes in near the top of the standings with a deep, dangerous attack that has been tough to slow down. LM Custom Concrete will look to answer behind Espinola, Norgren, Izquierdo, and Duggan as they try to tighten things up and turn this one into a battle.

The Stone Guardians will need to limit quality chances, clear rebounds, and find some secondary scoring to keep pace. If the Steady Yeti get rolling early, their depth can take over fast.

Friendly Chimney Sweepers and Synergy Sportfishing meet tonight at 10:00 PM at North Buffalo in a matchup that should have plenty of pace.

Friendly took the most recent meeting and will look to build on that behind Keating, Werynski, and Stanley in net. Synergy counters with Bedford, Trumble, and Olin leading an offense that can get dangerous fast.

If the Sweepers can stay structured and limit Synergy’s top chances, this one could stay tight. If Synergy starts finding open ice, they have the firepower to swing momentum quickly.

5iveHole and Augie’s Augie Bears meet in the semi-finals tonight at 8:10 PM at North Buffalo.

5iveHole comes in with a dangerous attack led by Metzger and Bower, while Laudico looks to keep things steady in net. Augie’s will look to answer with Campione, Adimey, and Fauth as they try to slow the pace and make this a battle.

5iveHole has had the edge in recent meetings, but playoff hockey has a way of making things weird fast. If Augie’s can tighten things up and cash in on their chances, this one could stay interesting late.

Winner moves on.

Semi-final playoff hockey starts tonight at 7:00 PM at North Buffalo as Essex St. Pub Illuminati takes on Canterra Knucklepucks.

Essex comes in rolling with a deep attack led by Perez, Kifner, and Santucci, while Canterra counters with one of the league’s biggest scoring threats in Antolos, along with Kindzierski and Ritz helping drive the offense.

This one has all the makings of a fast, high-pressure playoff game. If Essex can spread the scoring and limit Canterra’s top chances, they can take control. If Antolos gets loose and Canterra turns it into a track meet, anything can happen.

Winner moves on.

The semi finals start tonight!

The winner of each game will move on to the championship for the change to hoist the keg!

Who will it be?

Synergy Sportfishing and LM Custom Concrete Stone Guardians meet tonight at 10:00 PM at North Buffalo.

Synergy will look to Bedford, Trumble, and Santarelli to set the pace, while LM Custom Concrete counters with Espinola, Izquierdo, and Duggan trying to keep this one tight.

The Stone Guardians will need to slow Synergy’s top scorers, stay disciplined, and turn their chances into goals. If Synergy gets rolling early, their depth can make things difficult fast.

Friendly Chimney Sweepers and Southern Tier Brewing Steady Yeti meet tonight at 10:00 PM at North Buffalo with playoff positioning on the line.
Southern Tier comes in near the top of the standings with Wagner, Prosser, and Frentz helping lead one of the league’s most dangerous groups. Friendly will look to answer with Keating, Schiffman, and Stanley as they try to slow things down and flip the recent head-to-head results.

The Sweepers will need to limit transition chances, stay disciplined, and get the big saves when Southern Tier starts pressing. If the Steady Yeti get rolling early, their offense can make things tough fast.

Canterra Knucklepucks and Casa Di Pizza Pie-Zans close out the first round of playoffs tonight at 10:30 PM at North Buffalo.

These two come in with identical records and a season series that has gone back and forth, so this one has all the makings of a tight playoff battle.

Canterra will look to Antolos, Adimey, and Kindzierski to drive the offense, while Casa counters with Makowski, Diaz, and Seals trying to steady things in net.

With both teams able to score in bunches, this could come down to special teams, board battles, and which goalie comes up with the big save when it matters most.

Survive and advance.
