JVA Money Line: Millen-Costello-Perlstein

It has been rough all season long for the Pennsbury JVA Falcons and Coach Millen. He was constantly scrambling lines to assemble some solid ones that could get the team looking better then it had. It appears he has finally found a solutions in the late stages of the season. His son, Jason Millen, Sean Costello and Jesse Perlstein have formed a great trio. It all started in their last league game where they fell 4-1, but the line looked really solid. It was today's non-league game that had me convinced this was the line the JVA Falcons could rely on. Although they still won't be a top tier team, these three young men give everyone entertainment. Every shift on the ice, these three were working great together. Great passing, setups it was something I never expected. Each member of the MCP line recorded two points on the team's two goals today and it appeared they could have had more too. They showed great patience and poise, waiting for one member to break out then sending the lead pass. Sean Costello opened up the scoring on some great passing by Jesse Perlstein and Jason Millen, where Costello ripped it top shelf. It appeared earlier, Costello would have a second goal on a backhand but the net seemed to have difficulting staying on the mournings all game. Jason Millen's ability to start up rushes paid off, as he ended up finishing off a Sean Costello pass; which the play was initially started off by Perlstein and resulted in Pennsbury tying the game at 2-2. Costello also had a crushing hit, where he broke the opposing players collarbone. It was one hell of a clean hit. Goaltender Ben Herring also had a beautiful robbery helmet save at the end of the game where it was tied. Somehow, Pennsbury lost 3-2 in the final seconds when Costello won the faceoff back but somehow the defense was faultered and with Herring out of goal, it was an easy one. It doesn't really matter at this point though as it was a non-league game. I am looking forward to seeing this line again on February 11th, the next league game. Good call by Coach Millen!
