WEEKLY UPDATE

The night was as cold as the beer, only because Spongee packed the cooler with plenty of Canadian soft drinks as well as plenty of snow from his yard (some may have been yellow). As for the game, the White boys skated away with a one goal victory by virtue of the NEXT GOAL WINS rule which came into play this week. Both sides turned in a scrappy effort getting contributions from up & down the line up.The Bonner Connection was four strong this week as Rudy teamed with Quiet Brian to lead the way up front while Daddy Pat & Spongee worked the back line. Chuck had his usual handful of chances while Liam continues to play at a top level picking up more key assists. Meanwhile, Johnny Longpants & Tony Romo played at their typical high level on the blue line & jumping in on the offensive end with a couple of goals of their own. In goal Tree continued his strong play using a quick glove hand & a butterfly style that resembles J.S. Giguere at the top of his game.
The Dark squad played just as well on the night, on defense Murph & Jaybird were stellar keeping things under control in their own end. The Whites fell behind early but fought back & were able to even the score with the help of Curty & Shooter who have become a dangerous duo. Shooter actually passed up an open net & fed a pass to Curty for a slam dunk goal. Crabby continues to play both ends of the ice using a relentless back checking effort to set up scoring chances. Britter, I mean Spritle, & Rusty turned defense to offense every chance they got leading rushes into the Dark zone every chance they got. Fricker shows up late but played possibly his best game in his TNHL career, scoring, setting up goals, fore checking & back checking he even played a few shifts on defense. Amazing what a weekend without porn will do for the legs. The big story on the night was Kevin's first goal of his TNHL career (thanks to some lazy defensive coverage from Quiet Brian) breaking the longest drought between goals in history, some THIRTY years. Kevin is pictured here many years ago with the puck from his last goal & in honor of this achievement the TNHL has awarded him this puck holder

Along with this we at the TNHL will welcome Kevin to THE BEER LIST! Kev you will be up this week as Carl has not been skating lately & is due to bring beer this Tuesday. Two cases of LaBatt's will due just fine.
Now for the medical update, The Commish is close to returning & will do so as soon as his foot feel right. He has contacted Peter Forsberg for some advice. I, on the other hand am having some discomfort in the pelvic area, some of you believe it may be a problem with my ovaries or that I had taken a shot off a fallopian tube all of this is very funny but not true. I plan on getting in a good stretch for a couple of days & getting back out there with you guys despite soaring estrogen levels.
