WEEKLY UPDATE

Great to be back between the pipes this week, the pace of play did not let me ease on into it but I guess that's life in the TNHL.
The White squad skated away with a hard fought win, two late goals were the difference matching the biggest lead of the night. The game got off to a quick start & the Whites had a two goal lead just five minutes in only to see the Darkies answer with two of their own to tighten things up. Tree was at his best using his quick legs to bring his bench to their feet. Johnny Longpants, Britter & Romo set the offense in motion using their speed & crisp passing leading to many quality chances for Daddy Pat & Chuck. Crafty & Shooter found the back of the net along with The Great ZWANN, that kid was around the net the whole game proving he has good hockey genes. His mother must be one hell of a hockey player. Spongee anchored the defense with his physical style of play right up until the collision with Quinnlan, Spongee went down like an Italian cruise ship.

On the Dark side the Commish kept boys focused on the game with his unique brand of leadership after falling behind, Dirty Curty & Fricker popped home goals & buzzed the White zone all night. Liam continues to look better with each skate as his knee gets stronger & White Doug played well at both ends of the ice putting to rest the rumor he needs a GPS on an elevator & to find his defensive zone. Crabby & Quiet Brian took shifts at forward & D each had big plays especially at the defensive end. Flounder was huge in his own end muting a sure goal early on with a quick stick then had at least two great chances on the rush. Opie played his normal fast forward game racking up goals, assists & frequent flyer miles while covering every inch of the ice.
It took a few minutes for me to catch up with the locker room banter after being away for a few weeks, talk of apple-teenies & Uncle Eddie made little sense to me then in the parking lot things got weird. Romo did a tremendous job with the beer loading up a mini fridge with a variety that was as cold as it was plentiful. The mid January gathering in the lot allowed us to learn of Shooter's GILF fantasy & had Quiet Brian seeing ghosts with flash lights, there was also a discussion about organ donors & down syndrome among other things.
Missing this week were Rusty, he was running an equipment drive for homeless hockey playing bartenders & Murph who was off filming a porno using his stage name CLAYMONT STEELE.

Till next week
