-Glorious sunshine scale: 9/10 (another bluebird day)
-Temperature scale: 5/10 (warm, but given the recent heat waves, this was probably about the best we could hope for)
-Perfect number of players scale: 6.5/10 (a surprise appearance by Tony was very welcomed, providing one sub at least)
-New players scale: 0/10
-Return of long absent regulars scale: 0/10
-Evenness of teams/series scale: 5/10 (despite three blowouts, the teams were more even than the score indicated)
-Session intensity scale: 6/10 (solid tempo out there today)
-Session openness / offensiveness scale: 6/10
-Domination by one player scale: 4/10 (fairly even today, though Tom & J-Bo were instrumental for their teams and Tony was a difference maker)
-Redemptions Achieved Scale: 4/10 (Stu's team achieves hefty redemption by winning 5-1 after a narrow sudden death loss in Game 3)
-Epicness of Games Scale: 3.5/10 (the third game was a fairly prolonged epic sudden death affair)
-Exceptional goaltending performance scale: 7/10 (Dom was hung out to dry by his team and struggled a little bit early on as a result, but Stu was his exceptionally solid self all day)
-Length of session scale: 3/10 (session was cut short at about 2 hours when a couple players had to leave, but still a decent 4 games)
-Fun of session scale: 8/10 (despite the shorter session everyone was happy to get out there and get some games in)
-Chance of future sessions in coming weeks scale: 5/10 (numbers are waning a bit these days so it's tough to say)

Thanks, Bern! It was a tale of Tony and Tom today, as the T-titled tandem took the top two titles atop the three-star triumvirate (Tony: 9G-5A; Tom: 5G-8A). You have to go all the way down to 7P to find third-star Jordan (2G-5A, including being the only player on his team to register any points in the first series). Another stellar effort in goal for Stu at .846; Dom's slump continues at a shocking .686.
