WEEKLY UPDATE

 Week three is in the books & this one was all about the goalies, the Darkies won for the second straight game this one an overtime thriller. The game went for stretches where it was "CUP CAKE" hockey, lots of icing, with sweet goaltending.Tree was outstanding for the Whites using quick legs & a quicker glove to thwart the Dark attack & made them work for that first goal but it was a beauty. After almost twenty-five minutes three cross ice passes found 5 at the back door, right where Dad used to park, no chance for Tree. The Darkies tried everything to score at one point Crabby mounted Tree, ala Jerry Sandusky & seemed to whisper something about the second mile. It would remain close throughout with the Darkies taking the largest lead of the night at 2-0 with less than a half hour to play, then the offense woke up. Shooter picked a corner to get the Whites on the board & after the Darkies regained the two goal lead Crafty buried a rebound.

 Johnny Long Pants finally got a bounce, after blocking several shots Rusty had one deflect off his stick & over his siv. The play had picked up quite a bit by this point & the Sausage King was working in his kitchen which led to the goal that put the Whites ahead for the first time but the lead was short lived as the Dark tied it again with about eight minutes left. Both teams had stretches of sustained pressure, Daddy Pat & Quiet Brian played key shifts at forward & defense for the Dark while Fricker & Liam were on the puck like fact checkers on Romney. There were some big collisions all over the ice, at one point Spongee went down like a water-ice on blow row but that's the price you pay in a game like this. It looked like the White boys were gonna pull this one out when JLP buried one at about the five minute mark but the Darkies would not be denied as the Commish teamed with his spawn to knot the score as the clock ticked under two minutes. Thanks must go out to the ice crew for letting us finish up, they got to see some good old guy hockey, Murph with a breakaway, Cricket snapping shots from all over both with no luck, Larry "Gloves" from the slot, Romo through a screen, not tonight. Ten minutes of free hockey, Christ Flounder almost drank us out of beer after suffering from a serious case of broken rivets, before Crabby ripped home a bullet for the win. Good game. Romo had beer this week & he made sure it would be an event, in honor of Felix Baumgartner the Labatt's floated safely to the floor of the locker room about a minute after entering the rinks atmosphere.
