WEEKLY UPDATE

AHOY
The boys really got after it this week, a spirited affair that was similar to the Flyers game except with a lot more goals & the Darkies finally pulled one out. Curty was flying in this one & picked some corners to lead the way while Fricker & the Commish worked the corners for loose pucks to set in motion some real nice passing which led to goals. Bob the Pirate filled in for Tree this week & kept this one closer than it should have been for the white. Luckly we were able to get him, the only other number we had was for a goaltending school in Chester & we all know about their school system.
Crafty continued his torrid streak against me scoring on two of his first three shots on goal, he picked up at least one more off a nice feed from Daddy Pat. Romo also found the the twine for a couple but he & the rest of the White boys were shut down, Opie, Officer Friendly, Limpin'Liam & Rusty were frustrated by a stifling Dark defense. Murph, Flounder & Bob the Cop broke up plays & rushed the puck the other way & after the Darkies learned to pamper Johnny Longpants with a nice warm towel when he got to the bench you could feel the chemistry beginning to grow. We welcomed back Shooter from a brief hiatus & he would not let his pending hip replacement surgery affect his play one bit, I don't remember a single pass.
Once again we had a few guys missing this week so again I turned to my sources for some pictures. Every so often some of our TNHL'ers travel to some of the most exotic places on earth, just this week Tree went across the pond & spent some time in England. He then went to that emerging hockey hot bed Ireland for some goaltending tips & a few Guinness, Tree is so revered on the Emerald Isle that they erected a statue in his honor.
Spongee was also honored at the Redneck Yacht Club down in Arkansas when he was named the newest Admiral, ever the businessman Spongee picked up a couple sea worthy vessels for the Bonner Boat sale.
Daddy Pat showed why he is such an important cog in the TNHL wheel by neatly packing icey cold LaBatt's & LaBatt's Lite, this went well with the extended lockerroom time after the skate. Crabby took the time to join us for a bit & give us an update on his broken ribs.....they are still broken. Hopefully he can get back quickly.
One more thing, I have been a member of the TNHL since day one & I can not remember a night like tonight. First I get my skates sharpened out of the back of a Kia like it was some kind of sweatshop then a conversation about the Sixers? Really? WTF?
Til next week.
