WEEKLY UPDATE

The Benches were jammed again this week as the season winds to an end & everyone brought their game. The Darkies picked up the win in a back & forth affair.Daddy Pat led the way for the Darkies picking up the "hatty" & adding a couple of assists while Spritell teamed with Curty to keep the pressure on in the White zone. The White boys went toe to toe with the chances & Rudy returned to form notching his normal handful of points & Fricker continues to morph into Theo Fleury with a gluten free beer habit. Quiet Brian went back to the White team this week & was a force as he usually is setting up a few goals the nicest coming off a cross ice pass to young Joe McCloskey at the back door. Rusty was off the hook this week as my son took his turn lighting me up. Tony Romo had his share of scoring chances picking up a goal & at least one assist on a sweet deflection off a drive from his point position. He also looked like he might have injured Opie Cunningham on a collision behind the net, Opie got up gasping for air. It was only later we learned the gasp was an attempt to get some fresh air as Romo has one of the smelliest jerseys in the "T". The Commish played one of the best games of the night chipping in at the offensive end but mostly with his strong play in front of his own net breaking up several White scoring chances. The goaltending was good, not great but was on par with the play, Tree had the quick glove & made several tough saves by flashing some leather. Jaybird switched back to to the White squad only to see his scoring streak snapped at one game but Spongee's streak continues as he has not found the net in the last few weeks. Moose also saw his numbers suffer as he was held off the board, he had been complaining that his feet hurt, well Kev when everything hurts you have made it to the TNHL, until then you are only a minor league call up. Johnny Longpants wore White but still spent quite at bit of time in the Dark end & Chuck once again played his pinball style bouncing off of everything while picking up the beer frame goal at about 10:20 on a shot that I would like to have back. Crabby & Carl were a force on the blue line for the Darkies, a nice combination of size & speed with a physical presence. We also had a new comer this week as Jimmy Mac laced them up for the first time in over six years, all the memories came flooding back like .....DINNER. Skating up the ice he reminded me of Pinocchio, sitting on the bench next to him Murph looked like Geppitoe.
The Commish came up huge with the beers serving up some LaBatt's along with some tasty Harp Lager. Good skate boys, see you next week.

NOTE; Wii bowling ended to late for this edition.
