WEEKLY UPDATE

The Dark train keeps rolling along & picked up another close win again this week, even though their goalie came away with the nickname no goalie or man of my age wants, Mr Softie. It looked like it was going to be a blow out early on as the Darkies jumped out to a three goal lead but as has been the case all season the Whites fought back to tie the score twice, only two late goals were the difference. Cricket opened the scoring & was involved all night from his defensive position, often teaming with Wojo & Quiet Brian to cause fits for the White troops. The Commish & 5 formed the DNA line & both expelled tremendous amounts of energy & sweat leaving some of that DNA on the ice, then young Dan left early I'm guessing to expel some more.

The White boys were led by outdoor summer ice hockey pioneer Spongee, who blasted one past me early on & played a solid game all around & White Doug who came out wearing more colors than an aids quilt.

As the White gang began  their climb back into this one Fricker  played a big part, with his tenacious fore check led to at least one goal & he is really becoming a pain in the ass. Crafty was in an unfamiliar spot on the ice, his on zone on defense, but still found a way to get himself on the score board. That is one place Chuck saw very little of, mostly he was in my lap or my crease, that sounds gay but the guy is always around the net. He has modeled his game after his idol, the right wing in bubble hockey. Another key to the comeback was Romo, some how he gets his chances on net & still be the first guy back on D weather he scored or not. Hockey Dave returned in his role a "last minute fill in at least one goal a game guy" but I think he had more than that in this one.

 Tree was a big reason the White were able to get back into the game, after a flurry of Dark goals early he settled in & played his typical solid game & while he would tell you he should have had more saves he will not tell you how he shut the door for close to an hour to get the game tied. As the clock ticked towards zero the play tightened up & the Darkies were able to hang on to a slim lead one goal lead Murph & Flounder slashed & whacked, coughed & hacked their way through major minutes again this week & helped out on the final goal with only 4 seconds remaining. Rusty returned this week, still no fish & plenty of stories about the ones that didn't have to get away. But 'ol Rusty got himself off the milk carton because he found himself on the beer list & he knew nothing could keep him away. Has anyone else noticed Rusty has a thing for buck genitalia, think about it, he introduced the TNHL to Deer Dick & his choice of beer is Moose Head, just saying. Found a picture of Johnny Longpants, seems he has spent a couple weeks letting his hair grow out for the holidays.

Till next week
