PTM praised goaltending phenom, Giancarlo Capaz, in this week's write-up on their website in regards to his stellar shut-out performance against the Stealth Assassins. The blurb also name-drops Alain Godard for his lone goal.
Here is a repost of it:
The Shockers stun the Stealth Assasins. Capaz does the job in nets.
The Shockers caused a major upset as they defeated the mighty Stealth Assasins 1-0. G.Capaz made 25 saves to earn his first shutout of the season while A.Goddard scored teh game's lone goal; it was his first of the season.
et en français:
Les Shockers surprennent les Stealth Assasins. Capaz fait le travail dans les filets.
Les Shockers ont causé une belle surprise en disposant des puissants Stealth Assasins au compte de 1 à 0. G.Capaz a repoussé 25 tirs pour mériter son premier jeu blanc de la saison tandis que A.Goddard a inscrit l'unique but de la rencontre; c'était son premier de la saison.

THE 10 Q's: Giancarlo "Clamster" Capaz
We're shaking things up a bit and stepping away from the seriousness of the usual pre-game/post-game postings with this new segment we're calling The 10 Q's.
We take 10 of the best questions we received from fans and curious blog enthusiasts and picked a random Shocker to fill in the blanks for us.
This week is none other than goalie and teenager girl heart-throb, Giancarlo "Drunken Clam" Capaz.
Q1: How did you get started with the Shockers?
A1: Well I have been playing ball hockey for about the past 6 yrs. First started off with The Blues, then Les Buddys followed by Damage Inc and currently with The Shockers.
The idea of getting a bunch of guys together from work and building a team always struck me, but I wasn’t up for assuming the role as the team GM. From past experience, I’ve lost way too much coins, and way too much wood that I even had the people at Viagra questioning their product. Once our former captain stepped to the plate [Alain Godard, aka “PTB”] I was in.
Q2: In you didn’t play hockey, what would you be doing instead?
A2: Not sure. Probably rubbing one out or see Question 6.
Q3: There are always heated moments when you are with a team, which Shocker would you lose it on?
A3: Yes – there have been heated moments in the locker room, but I usually tend to keep to myself rather losing on someone.
However, if I had to choose someone, it would have to be Rossi.
Reason:
I sure I could loss it on him to another level and he wouldn’t even know – that damn guy is always thinking.
Q4: A shot from The Claw at 10 feet or a shot for Chris Diabo at 30 feet?
A4: That’s a damn good question considering that both have injured me during warm-ups [Bloody Toe by the Claw, and Busted Finger by Diabo]
However Diabo’s shoot tends to gain velocity, dips, turns, and curves – Fuck the ball has a mind of its own when it leaves his stick the further he is. This could lead to some serious injuries: concussion, or even a drop in my sperm count. I’ll pass and take on the CLAW any day.
Q5: If you to challenge any WWE wrestler (past or present) to a cage match, who would you take on?
A5: I used to be a HUGE Wrestling fan, before ECW was bought out by the shitty WWE. Anyways, if I would have to challenge a WWE wrestler [past or present] to a Cage match, it would have to be the HULK Hogan, the HULKSTER himself.
Main reason:
You deserve having your ass thrown off the steel cage after using a Shitty Ass Leg Drop to KO wrestlers for the past decade. How can that even be a finishing move?
Q6: Shockers’ game 7 for the cup or cheap dance night at the Amazon, where would GC be?
A6: A wise man once told that you should never pay for SEX… with that being said, he’s an Idiot. Definitely @ Amazon’s painting the place white.
I feel phenomenal after my cheap $10 dance, knowing that I helped support a single mother.
Q7: Shockers’ game 7 for the cup or anniversary dinner with the girlfriend?
A7: Four words – “TOO MUCH QUALITY TIME”.
Would definitely be Game 7 for the Cup, unless I some how cross a stripe club on the way there… hey could happen.
Q8: ATM or Drive-by Bukkake?
A8: Definitely a Drive-by Bukkake.
I’m all about dropping a load, and bouncing before they even know what hit them.
Q9: Francois Hamelin is growing a mustache, does he look like George Parros, Bert Reynolds or Planter’s Peanut Man with a mustache?
A9: Neither.
Let’s be honest, he looks like Wild Bill or a broken down Theodore Roosevelt
Q10: Alain Godard is known for going “dick out”, do you second guess sitting beside him in the dressing room?
A10: Actually, after hearing that Alain is known for going “dick-out” I have tried sitting closer to him in the locker room.
Let’s get something straight, I’m far from being gay, but I for one am curious to see if he has a pony tail down below. Maybe has it groomed like ZZ Top, who knows.

Capaz and Godard Shine In Shutout Win
Final Score
Shockers 1
Stealth Assassins 0
Like the old saying goes: Games are won with defense. It was definitely true for the Shockers last night.
The Shockers were so short-staffed they were actually missing a full line of forwards so coach, GM and player, Francois Hamelin, opted to call Marc Boucher and Jeff Jasmin into his office to propose them spots up front.
"I honestly thought that we were going to get killed. When you have to play a team who are high up in the standings, on the big surface, with just four defense and missing some of our top goal scorers...you're not thinking this is going to go our way," commented Andrew Stevens.
Stevens was gravely wrong as the Shockers, for the second time this season, out-ran and out-battled their opponents.
"We had a lot of great chances that we should have capitalized on," said Mike Rossi after the game, "we were so close many times but it just would not go in for us."
The lone goal came from Alain Godard, who finally broke the ice with his first goal this season. Godard jumped on a loose ball that went astray when the Assassins defense clearing attempt was abruptly ruined by a broken stick leaving Godard to have his way with the goaltender. A somewhat debatable goal, Godard rang it of the interior of the cross bar which caused a stir between the refs and the Assassins but Godard's conviction won over. "When you know it's in, you know it's in and the ref saw it too so I knew I wasn't going crazy," explained Godard.
Godard snaps a 9-game goalless streak with this game-winner and as certain players explain, they might have been riding Godard a bit too hard during the season:
"[laughs] Yeah, we might have poked fun at him a few times at work, in the dressing room, on the bench, a bit everywhere...he was taking it from all angles...a real bukkake of one-liners," chuckled Giancarlo "Clamster" Capaz.
"Finalement! Ostie!" worded line-mate, Ben Ducharme.
"He might have broken the ice but he can suck my dick if he thinks he's touching one of my Corona's, the goal wasn't that nice!" joked Joey Rae.
The Shockers maintained a 1-0 lead from the first period all the way through to the end of the game with a big help from goalie, Giancarlo Capaz, who turned away a handful of key opportunities the Assassins had. "Some of those guys had shots, but I saw mostly all of them and got lucky on a few," added Capaz.
"Got lucky on a few," is quite the understatement as Capaz had made a first period save with his glove without even knowing it, "I was going to chip it aside with my blocker and it somehow ended up in my glove. I only realized it when the ref blew the whistle," explained Capaz.
Despite Capaz getting his first official shutout this season, the Shockers' special teams really held it down for him last night. The power-play had many chances especially coming of the way of Ben Ducharme who missed the net on a few one-timers. Ducharme even returned to the bench after the first period to appologize to his team-mates for missing some huge chances on go ahead goals. The penalty kill was especially on fire; the biggest test came when they had to kill a 4-minute high sticking call against Jeff Jasmin. "That call was bullshit, they did the same exact thing and they get 2 minutes, but you take it how they call it.....cracker!" commented Jasmin.
The Shockers will enjoy some time off until their next game which takes place on December 26 @ 3pm. The Shockers will take on the very deadly Hitmen who are enjoying a successful season thus far going a perfect 9-0. Shockers may benefit by showing up with enough players and hoping that the Hitmen lack fire power due to the holiday season. Regardless, the Shockers should get ready for a fast-paced game as the Hitmen have been taking no prisoners.

Shockers Etching Closer to 500 with Forfeit Win
NDG Choppers had to cancel this past Saturday's game against the Shockers which, in PTM, is an automatic forfeit. Shockers will gladly take the freebie as they are trying to sneak up closer and closer to 500 hockey.
"It's never fun to not play hockey but at this point we'll take a win anyway we can get it," commented Francois Hamelin.
NDG Choppers surcame to a dissappointing conclusion late in the week leading up to the game that they would not have enough players dressed for the game.
Shockers who are now 4-5-0 and sit in 8th place will have be ready for an intense game against the Stealth Assassins (5-3-1) this coming Thursday. Already, the Shockers have been out of action for about a week and a half so there might be a bit of a rust factor especially to those who have not been able to attend the optional practices the team has been holding. But, the Shockers might be catching the Assassins at a rough time as they have been 0-2-1 in their last 3 games whereas the Shockers are 2-1-0 in their last 3. Regardless, if the Shockers can come out strong like they did against Subzero, we'll have an interesting game, but if they come out of the gates like they did against the Kennedy Crew, forget it, they might as well stay home.
Carlo Varano will still be out and is likely to miss the rest of the season, Frankie Ortuso has yet to report in on his groin injury, Alain Godard is back in the line-up but Giancarlo Capaz will be a big question mark to start as he is still battling his four-season long flu-like symptoms.
Next game: Thursday @ 10:30pm vs. the Stealth Assassins on the big surface at the Sports XPO.
Check back soon as this week's edition of 10 Q's will be answered by none other than Giancarlo "Juan Luis Bodega Santa Maria Del Cullo de Buitre" Capaz.

Put the Breaks On 500
Final Score
Kennedy Crew 6
Shockers 3
The light at the end of the tunnel for the Shockers was breaking into the 500 club but those hopes were set aside abruptly by a team who has been experiencing a difficult start, the Kennedy Crew.
Kennedy Crew were 1-4-0 coming into the game and picked up an uplifting win against the Shockers last Thursday, so where does that leave the Shockers going into this next stretch of games against teams higher up in the standings?
"We'll just have to play harder and stop making mistakes," commented Andrew Stevens who was held off the scoresheet for the first time in 3 games.
Mistakes are definitely something the Shockers need to cut out of their vocabulary. At least 4 out of 6 goals last game against the Kennedy Crew were attributed to grave mistakes by both the offense and defense. With that being said, the Shockers will have to go back to square one and look to games against Mobilart and Subzero for inspiration. It's not hard to play man-to-man coverage on a small surface, this is where the Shockers succeed, but on a large surface where cardio is key, the Shockers are struggling. The Shockers have bigger guys so maybe a stay-at-home approach should be applied by the defense while the forwards play a trap system; either way, the team has to figure out something for games on the large surface.
Next few games will present Shockers with some new challenges: better teams and missing players. NDG Choppers, Stealth Assassins and Hitmen are all good teams who have been having a great deal of success this season. On the flip side, the Shockers will be scouring around to find players to patch in the gaps of missing players, the likes of Carlo Varano (indefinitely, personal reasons), Frankie Ortuso (day-to-day, groin), Alain Godard (day-to-day, sun burn) and Andrew Stevens (1 game, rocking out). With all these players out, who could be the cream filling? Nick Petosa? JK 77? Andrew Johnson?
Andrew Johnson, whose contract was bought out by the Shockers two seasons ago, has been left on the back-burner since and has voiced his opinion about the Shockers on numerous occassions. Words like "mofos" and "rat-sized penis suckers" have been used to describe the level of professionalism in handling Johnson's final game in his 3-game contract. "I was shammed and now I hate that team. I hope the goalie gets hit by a bus," Johnson explained. Despite his animosity for the team, perhaps now that the team is in a bind, could both parties put their differences aside or will the hate-crew saga continue?
Look for an interesting night of new faces on Saturday as the Shockers will go grill-on-grill with the NDG Choppers in their hopes to gripe their way back into 500 contention.
