WEEKLY UPDATE

On a night MLB Commissioner Bud Selig would have seen fit to play a World Series game the boy's ignored the howling wind & the driving rain & headed out to the old barn for another battle. The Darkies skated away with their first win in the last three games. A relentless fore check & great back checking was the key to this victory. Daddy Pat had a real jump in his skates & played like a guy half his age, scoring at least three times while setting up a few others. At on point he had a breakaway from just outside his own blue line, skating about as fast as a Polaroid instant picture develops Pat tucked in a sweet backhander. Kurty Downlow & Quite Brian were also demons creating turnovers & slowing the White attack by clogging the neutral zone. On defense The Hurricane,sporting his new SNAP ON Jersey, teamed with Timmy & used their speed to keep the shots to the outside & cleared away the rebounds. Free wheeling Britter & Bbq Jay were just as effective on the back line as the Darkies allowed only four goals on the night. Liam scored big on the night netting the BEER FRAME goal & supplied the frosty LaBatt's for the boys afterwords.
On the other side the Whites had a tough night, Crafty, Fricker, Spongee & Murph would all have good chances but could not sustain much pressure on the Darkies. Rusty, riding a wave of confidence after a fine job of setting up the all important BEER LIST, couldn't solve the Darkies. Johnny Longpants was able to get on the board but not as often as he would like, the same can be said for Tony Romo, Bill's nickname will remain the same until someone comes up with a better one. Crabby got so frustrated he was in the locker room complaining about the Grammar (whatever that is) on the Blog. I think the problem with the Whites was the fact that Chuck was sitting out Mondays rain delay at Citizens Bank Park.
I rarely wait this long to mention Tree but this week I felt he needed his own paragraph. Being a goalie I understand the importance of the rituals of the game; take the same route to the rink every game, put your pads on the same way every time etc you don't challenge the hockey gods. Up to last week he had done all of the same things & then it happened, he changed spots in the dressing room, a spot he has kept for years, a spot where he grew into a TNHL all-star, the spot he used even after his change in lifestyle/position. His new spot? You guessed it The DSTD Bench, the spot reserved for the only player in TNHL history to have his initials retired. How can you expect to keep up the level of play necessary to perform in the TNHL after taking in that spot? Think of last years rookie phenom Frank Papa, he sat in that seat where is he this year. Their are some things in hockey that you just don't mess with, Tree may as well get the word SHUTOUT tattooed across his forehead.
How about the Commish, there is no way he will ever be voted out of his position as our leader as long as he continues to give us gifts like he did this week. The official T-shirt of the TNHL will now be on display in some of the most respected dives in Delaware County. He even gave on to our fan as a gift for being our one millionth fan, she is a mere 999,983 people from attaining that title. She is a lock the be the one.
PHILLIES ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS
