WEEKLY UPDATE

Although there was plenty of space on the benches this week it turned out being a good game. The White boys skated off with a one goal, come from behind win. Dirty Curty opened the scoring for the Dark squad & the boys were able to build a 3-0 lead about twenty five minutes into what was shaping up to be a goalies duel. Officer Friendly finished off a nice two-on-one & the Whites scored the next goal as well, the game would not see a lead larger than two goals the rest of the night. The Commish returned this week, bounced a puck off of Chuck to start the game & had a good night picking up a couple of points along the way. Daddy Pat, sporting lots of new gear that should keep him protected on the ice well into his eighties, played his typically responsible game at both ends all the time "shinning like a new dime." Fu-Man Fricker, sporting some old school porn facial hair continued his strong play, he had a steady thrust all night & was clutch when it came time for the money shots, pumping in a few.
The White boys settled down after falling behind & slowly took control of the game behind Tree's leadership between the pipes. Crafty started using his size & speed getting to the net & scoring a couple of goals as he does most weeks, around the same time Sgt. Patterson began to get his feet under him & also found the net in his preparation for league play this spring. Limpin Liam always seems to find himself in good scoring areas & getting quality chances, the only way to stop him was to have Rusty blast a shot off his ankle. Rusty, playing for the same team wanted to field dress his prey after tracking Liam to the bench.
The Dark defensive trio of Quiet Brian, Murph & Opie were key at both ends chipping in with big goals & assists. In their own end the boys did all they could controlling the big White forwards for long stretches but when the White started to feed the point Johnny Longpants & Romo kept steady pressure on the Dark leading to the comeback. A quick three goal outburst put the Whites in front & saw Murph trying everything including using his stick as a javelin when it sailed over the boards at one point.

The pre-game skate saw Crabby doing his best Sydney Crosby impersonation shooting & skating with the boys then enjoying a beer on his way out, looks like Crab man could be back soon, lets hope so.
As for this weeks no-shows, Shooter was up at Limerick Nuke Plant on a shut down or he was hanging out at some wrinkle ranch for karaoke night. Monsignor Bonner's own Spongee was hard at work preparing for the boat show next week in hopes of moving one of the new party barges he just picked up down south, best of luck Spongee.
Flounder also was working keeping the mean streets of Lower Merion safe from Allen Iverson types, that was after relaxing in his easy chair waiting for the latest Dancing With the Stars line up to be revealed.

White Doug had just flown into Newark & was looking forward to driving through Camden. What can be said about Britter, he has been missing way to long did. Dunfee sell him the horse?
I picked up the beers this week, 28 frothy bottles of Labatt's awaited us after the skate, always tasty.
Till next week
