-Glorious sunshine scale: 10 (like having the Care Bear stare pointed at your face for 3 hours)
-Temperature scale: 4 (hot as eff)
-SPF grade of sunscreen: 50
-Perfect number of players scale: 7 (could have used an extra sub or two)
-New players scale: 0
-Return of long absent players scale: 10 (Hey, Jamil!)
-Evenness of teams scale: 7 (frustrating and incredibly long Game 1; very close final games)
-Severity of injury scale: 8 (possible concussion with necessary stitches for Darrel’s ground-grated face, but he refused hospital transportation by paramedics and took stats like a champ following this)
-Comeback performance scale: 9 (Game 2 saw Rob’s team down 4-2, and a huge rally made a series out of the matchup)
-Domination by any one player scale: 2 (With the exception of Darrel’s single game played, the difference between the highest- and lowest-scoring player is only 6 points)
-Possibility of lax shot-counting in final two games: high.
-Fun of session scale: 6 (dampened only by the unrelenting heat and Darrel’s injury)

Thanks, Tony! The heat ended the session after three games but there were still plenty of points to be had. Andrew averaged 4.00 PPG today with 6G-6A despite losing the series. Close behind in second place was Rob at 6G-4A (he had 33 shots today, including 20 in Game 1 alone), and Tony had 8A in just three games en route to third star at 9P. Everyone was over 2.00 PPG today except the injured Darrel who only played part of Game 1. The goalies were fantastic as usual, as the Dominik versus Stuart battle is really heating up. Dom ekes out a close won with an excellent .848 to Stu's .842; the difference being two extra saves for Dom.
