[GAME RECAP: W 7-2 vs White Walkers](https://beerleaguebullies.com/games/69f4f1e8885789221a80557d)
BEER LEAGUE BULLIES vs. WHITE WALKERS
Thursday Night Championship Game | AFC Rink 1 | Final: 7-2
THE CUP
There's a moment before every championship that separates the teams that wanted it from the teams that showed up. The Bullies showed up Thursday night with something to prove and a roster stacked enough that even a last-minute goalie swap — involving an ECHL-registered EBUG, a Vegas Golden Knights reporter covering playoff hockey instead of tending net, and enough pre-game drama to fill a reality TV audition — couldn't stop what was already in motion.
7-2 over the White Walkers. The trophy goes home in a Bullies jersey.
PERIOD BY PERIOD
1st Period — 1-1
The game started tight, exactly what you'd expect from a championship. The White Walkers scored first at 17:24 to make it look like they had plans. Ninety seconds later, the Bullies answered — one of ours getting one past their goalie with help from the lineup. That's the thing about a stacked roster: there's always another guy ready to punch back.
One-one after one. Even. Alert. The kind of chess match openers are supposed to be.
2nd Period — 4-1 BLB
Then the second period happened, and the Bullies stopped playing chess and started playing hockey.
The Bullies scored at 2:25 unassisted. Two minutes later, we made it 3-1 with a setup from our own. The White Walkers had no answer. Another Bullies goal at 17:35 to close the period at 4-1. Three goals in sixteen minutes. This was the moment the White Walkers realized their Thursday night had already been decided.
3rd Period — 7-2 BLB
The third was a formality with moments of urgency. The Bullies struck at 5:01. The White Walkers got one back at 9:03 on a short-handed goal — a reminder that even in a blowout, there are bright spots if you look hard enough. We answered immediately at 11:55. Final goal came at 16:49 when the Bullies found the back of the net.
Final: 7-2. Championship locked.
SPOTLIGHT
The Bullies' roster this season wasn't just stacked — it was aggressively stacked. You had the kind of depth where guys could rotate through the scoring summary like a revolving door at a restaurant that never closes. The White Walkers faced a team that had been built specifically for moments like this: playoffs, pressure, and pucks in the net.
Kellen Hart — Two goals, one assist. Hart finished the season doing exactly what Hart does: scoring when it matters, setting up when others need it, and completely unbothered by whatever chaos was brewing on the sidelines.
Paul Przybylski — Two goals. Clean finishes. Pryz showed up for the trophy game.
Stephan Krief — Two goals. The kind of depth scorer who reminds you why having eight capable finishers matters more than having one guy try to do everything.
Bobby Obradovitch — One goal, one assist. Steady. Reliable. Present when it counted.
Shawn Volchok — Zero goals, one assist. The captain didn't need to light the lamp to lift the cup. That's how you know the team was ready.
The Goalie Situation — Here's the thing: ECHL credentials and last-minute drama make for good bar talk, but Thursday night's win wasn't built on a brick wall in net. It was built on the fact that the Bullies scored seven goals against a legitimate opponent in a championship game. The backup made 18 saves on 20 shots for a .900 — better than league average, not transcendent. The White Walkers had their chances. The Bullies were just better, deeper, and more prepared. That's how you win cups at the beer league level.
Goalie: Backup — 20 SOG, 2 GA, 18 SV (.900)
Shots on Goal: BLB 27, White Walkers 20
Penalties: BLB 2 infractions / 4 min | White Walkers 3 infractions / 6 min
THE CUP
When you build a roster this deep — when you have the kind of lineup where guys can cycle through the scoresheet without breaking a sweat — you earn the right to raise a trophy. The Bullies did that Thursday night. No drama needed. No late heroics required. Just a team that was better prepared, better positioned, and better equipped to finish when it mattered.
The 2025 Fall Championship belongs to Beer League Bullies.
