WEEKLY UPDATE

Well I think we have a new nickname lets try AVERY as in Sean Avery for JD, the reason, sloppy seconds. It's not often I start the Update with the beer selection but I had to this week & this is not a shot at the man & his fine selection of beer, it was quite a sight. As a matter of fact you could see right through the cooler! Hiney's, LaBatt's & a couple different flavors of Sam Adams, caked in ice along with some snow from the Zamboni. Here's the thing it was all leftover from Christmas, hence, sloppy seconds, hence hence, Avery. And were flirting with Pele for Rusty because of the Brazilian brews he supplied.
Now on to the game, this week the White squad put it all together & came out on top with a three goal victory. Tree led the way with a solid, focused effort using good positioning & a quick glove hand to keep the lead all night. Up front Chuck & Spongee had some chances & left some curse words & scoring chances at the top of the crease. That was not the case for Rudy who found the back of the net as he does most weeks. Johnny Longpants returned this week & was the offensive force he usually is from the blue line, teaming with Tim & Tony Romo to apply steady pressure when all four were on the ice. Rusty meanwhile played the role of stay-at-home defence man with most of his offence coming from just inside the blue line while keeping the Dark forwards honest.
The Darkie never let the game get away but were just not able to get even while battling injuries & huge rebounds. Crabby took a puck to the hand early on & split his finger like a steamed crab leg minus the butter. Being the true warrior he is the Crab Man went to the locker room for some repairs & maybe a quick beer & returned to the ice to finish the game. Jaybird was his steady self on the night using his size & quick stick to break up several plays- I'm gonna keep strokin him until we get some of those ribs. Murph & Daddy Pat play a similar style of defense, allowing you to get close enough to use those long poke checks & start a rush up ice, both guys did that well last night. At forward Shooter, Curty, & Quiet Brian cashed in on some good chances two of which came off sweet no look passes from Liam. Kevin's game continues to improve as does his speed which is now approaching that of finger nail growth.
On the medical front the Commish is still battling the yeast, I mean staph infection but seems to be getting better. Hopefully he can rejoin us soon after the swelling subsides because as Russ will tell you it is difficult to pull up your hockey pants with a swollen staph. Has anyone seen the Hurricane Unger? He has moved past the milk carton & onto a billboard: MISSING HAVE YOU SEEN ME? We may need a computer enhanced image.
