WEEKLY UPDATE

It's hard to say if it was just an off night between the pipes or the pressure of the return of the Commish, but the difference in this one was the goal tending. Tree answered the bell, allowing only two goals on the night & leading the White boys to a blowout win. JD returned to the line up & as is usually the case, scored two goals early on, neither one was pretty but they opened the scoring & shook the confidence of yours truly. The Dark squad showed plenty of jump & looked like they were going to cut into the lead as Spanky made an end to end rush. Using his speed & moves he looked less like that fine Jewish boy we know & love & more like a European import of the Nordic persuasion, then his shot wide on an open net. We now know he is not Finish! Back to the Whites, with the game still close a goal from Tony Romo & two more from Quiet Brian stretched the lead to five. On defense for the Whites Rusty, Johnny Longpants, & Tiny Tim continued to frustrate the Darkies. After the first Dark goal Digger picked up a goal followed by a couple from Rudy who was as fast & physical all game, but Crabby did a nice job keeping him in check with some physical play of his own. Spongee enjoyed the laugher finding himself on the doorstep with a chance to score on a couple of occasions. Oddly though, the closest he came was his pattented slap shot breakout from beside his own net that finally found its way on goal forcing a save. The Commish played well in his return & was his usual chirping self claiming to be the reason for the White teams success.
The Darkies deserved a better effort in goal, Murph was in a much better mood this week & did a nice job & Fricker continues to play well. Jaybird had a nice save on a sure goal after the puck slid through me & towards an open net. Shooter & Daddy Pat did their part but Tree was spectacular when he needed to be. Curty, Liam & Kevin also had a quiet night on the scoreboard but did a good job in their own zone. Next week I will try not to suck. I think the White team is getting into my head, just this morning I saw Johnny Longpants out front of the job site in Center City.What's next, will Chuck show up at my doctor seeking treatment for a bad case of slewfoot?
At least the LaBatt's were cold.
