WEEKLY UPDATE

Great pace to this one and most of our regulars returned to see the Dark boys skate off with the win. It was a one goal battle for most of the night as the goaltending was up to the task, Tree saw more rubber than a prom night & held the fort for the Whites until late when the cracks in his defense began to allow second & third shots along with some odd man rushes. The Dark offense, frustrated for much of the night, started to click when some nice passing between Crabby & White Doug led to a couple of big goals. Part time regular & avid Blog reader Wojo added his unique skills to the skate & left with a nice Christmas gift for his secretary, a hockey skate shaped paper cutter. Romo opened the scoring for the Whites with a shot from the slot & teamed with Johnny Longpants for a stout offensive force from the blueline. Up front Shooter & Craskey lived up to their sniper reputations finding the net with shot, deflections & breakaways. As usual most of the "heavy lifting" was left to Daddy Pat & the Commish but there work along the boards & in front of the net was nothing compared to helping each other up off the bench. Spongee & Chubby teamed as the second pairing on defense for the Whites & they could not have been more opposite, the only thing they had in common is the size of their waist, I'm guessing 34.

 The Darkies got a goal from an unlikely but reliable source, Hockey Dave scored his weekly goal with a wicked wrist shot. He ambled down the wing & unleashed a shot the likes of which has not been seen since Fulton Reid was skating for Gordon Bombay & the Mighty Ducks. That would make Quiet Brian the other Bash Brother from the Disney classic Dit Portman as he carries that gluten free attitude everywhere he goes. We have yet another nick name change, Superman will now & forever be known as 5 even after he gets well. It was hard to tell if Fricker looked more like Cricket this week or Carlos Ruiz the dude was flying all over the place do we need to start testing for Adderall & if it works can we make it like the beer list.

Murph & Flounder were back at it making my life much less stressful these two have partnered so long its like they do everything together but Murph wanted no parts of  the flea market that took place in the locker room after the game. Flounder looked like he should be working the intersection of Island & Bartrum selling t-shirts, roses, & deer dick ahh but it is for a wonderful cause, Jay & the family of Officer Bradley Fox greatly appreciate all the help. The Commish did a nice job with the suds, some frosty LaBatt's from a cooler that didn't smell one bit like fish.

Turns out the boys crapped out on the great TNHL fishing trip, word is the boat looked like it had been plucked from  tree after Hurricane Sandy lots of damage they had to know it was gonna be a long day when they saw the fish finder was a foam finger pointed at the water.

Till next week
