[GAME RECAP: W 8-7 vs @ 1776ers](https://beerleagu - Beer League Bullies

BULLIES STEAL ONE IN HENDERSON! 🚨

What an absolute roller coaster at Henderson 2 last night! The Bullies survived a back-and-forth war with the 1776ers, winning 8-7 in a SHOOTOUT after the 1776ers tied it up with under two minutes left in regulation. This game had more lead changes than a beer league dance-off, and somehow we came out on top.

#91 Carson was the offensive hero, burying a hat trick and carrying this team on his back when we needed it most. #15 Kim and #6 Hart were the playmaking duo all night with 3 points each — Kim adding a goal and two helpers while Hart dished out three assists (in between taking 4 penalty minutes for a hooking AND slashing combo at the same time... efficient goonery, honestly). #20 Adolfsson and #44 Volchok each contributed a goal and an assist, while #14 Sweeney found the back of the net to keep the scoreboard spinning.

But let's talk about the real MVP: #37 Zak Dayton. This absolute warrior was playing through BRUISED RIBS and a PULLED HAMSTRING — and still managed to stop 33 of 40 shots against a 1776ers team that was throwing everything at him. The man could barely move and still stood on his head. Without him between the pipes, we would've been watching this one from the parking lot by the second period. Somebody get this guy an ice bath, a bottle of Advil, and a medal.

The third period was pure chaos. We went up 7-5, then the 1776ers made it 7-6, then 7-7 with under two minutes left. Most teams would crumble. The Bullies? We took it to a shootout and finished the job. That's championship DNA right there.

Shoutout to #46 Que, #0 Earl, and #81 Hackett for picking up helpers and keeping the offense rolling all night. This was a proper gongshow that came down to skills competition hockey, but when it mattered most, the Bullies found a way to get it done.

Nothing beats that feeling of heading to Gold Mine with two points after a shootout victory — the beers taste extra cold when your heart rate is still at 150 BPM.

Next up: the Party Crashers. Funny name, but the only party getting crashed is theirs when we show up. We're bringing the confetti, the goals, and absolutely zero invitations for them to win. See you at the rink, boys!
