THANKSGIVING UPDATE

Our annual Thanksgiving Week game is typically one of our best attendance wise and its usually reflected in the pace of play. This week did not disappoint, almost all the stars came out, missing this week makes you a special kind of tool bag.

The game lived up to the hype as the Darkies skated off with a close win behind youngster Craiger's explosive offensive display, Craig's skating is only slightly slower than his Sandusky quick hands. Tree did well to keep him from scoring a bucket full of goals.Opie And White Doug made so much noise in the offensive zone it sounded like a shower at Penn State. An interesting style of defense looked like it was catching on last night, not sure what you would call it but I'm guessing that falling flat on your back at your own blueline is not going to be the next can't miss system. I'm getting reports that there may be an investigation into the size of Daddy Pat's stick allegedly Zdeno Chara returned the sticks in question because they were to long for him. Looks like Crafty has figured out half of the "give & go", a staple of a good offense, his family is hoping he figures out the other half of the play before someone needs him to pass the gravy on Thursday. Fricker played one hell of a game scoring more than enough Mother approved goals while Chuck attempted to stab me in the throat, remove my head and return to his "Hockey Tower" in the locker room with a trophy.
This game had everything that makes the TNHL great; good, fast (at times) hockey, good goaltending, and
great ball breaking followed by a Thanksgiving treat. Like this one here, Wayne Gretzky's Daughter! Rusty delivered on his promise of Deer Dick and Romo completed the traditional Thanksgiving meal with some soft pretzels, just like the Pilgrims had. Crabby and Shooter took an uncomfortable liking to the deer dick and told Rusty they were happy he went the Second Mile on the sausage. Murph did a nice job with a cold case of LaBatt's to prime the pump and get most of the crew over to Nick's for you guessed it....more sausage, all dudes, Liam said it reminded him of a lemon party or something and Spongee wanted to split a turkey sandwich.
I'm out next week because of another stint on night work, hopefully it will only be a week.


By the way looks like Chuck might have hooked up at Nick's last night but as I said it was all men so....
