Captain Bryan Ossa's 'REDACTED' entered the third period of their Week Six match with White down two goals. The lead was down to one with one minute to play...thirty seconds to play...twenty seconds...ten...five...one...GOAL! Owen Perks made every second count, scoring a goal for the ages with one tick left to tock, and in doing so kept Charcoal's loss column clean as a whistle through five games. It remains to be seen what impact (if any) this will have on either team, but it is certainly another feather in Charcoal's confidence cap, and it keeps the Week Nine matchup with Neon set as the last potential Battle Of Undefeated Teams...
Week Six boxes are up...recaps to come.

REDACTED
Owen is no stranger to big games and big moments, but his spin-out-of-the-corner-literal-last-second-SUPER-snipe-top-corner-game-tying goal was mind-blowing to see first hand. It capped a hat trick for Charcoal's humble hero, and kept their loss column spotless as we enter the downhill to playoffs.
Captain Grant Goins' 'Maroonraker' are still in plenty of peril, but their precarious position (suspended, and trying not to sweat above the standings floor) improved ever so slightly with the procurement of their first point in a wild Week Four battle with Captain Mason Holcomb's 'Mason Impossible: Pink Ops'. The captain himself collected two assists and scored the game-tying goal to keep his team hanging in there as we hit the midway point of the season...
Two of the three remaining undefeated teams met in Week Three, with Captain Dorothy Kline's Teal taking on Captain Bryan Ossa's Charcoal. The two remain undefeated, which of course means that this was the equivalent of the proverbial 'early brush with the villain where nothing really happens, but the tension is ratcheted up for the big finale to come' from every Bond movie ever. Of course, there are no ties in playoff hockey (it's really no time to tie, after all), so we'll have to wait for the next film to see how this arc ends...
Three agents have completed their first two deadly missions successfully, dispatching all henchmen in their path, and shifting their sleek sports cars into high gear as they wend towards the lair where a secret, sinister organization is rumored to be hatching a plan to harness the power of 'The Cup' (an ancient artifact said to grant the holder eternal bragging rights). Three other agents are strapped to a table with a laser inching towards their collective junk (now, that's an image), and the remaining four have found some success, but will likely need to find some better gadgets if they hope to survive and thrive in this high stakes spy game...
