WEEKLY UPDATE

Another TNHL season is upon us, as usual opening night doesn't disappoint that is unless you were hoping to see some quality hockey.
The game was as close as you could get with the White boys scoring in OT for the win. Crafty opened the scoring for the pale fellows cashing in on one of his many breakaways on the night, I was getting the feeling he missed me, several more goals would follow. The Dark side managed to keep it close never falling behind by more than three goals getting most of them from new comer Dean Youngblood in purple, Nick would end the night with just about the same amount of goals as Crafty.

 

I'm not sure of the final score but I know it was Spongee scoring the beer frame goal, crashing the net and cashing in on a juicy rebound. Tree did a great job between the pipes for the white, his glove save on Chuck could end up being the save of the year. this should come as no surprise to anyone that watched him working out over the summer.

Shooter and Crabby looked as smooth as ever which may come as a surprise to some considering the have about 8 hips and counting, with Hockey Dave in the mix we might have to add some WD40 to the beer list. Liam appears to have completely gotten
 over his American Girl Doll fetish from a few years back, he didn't find the net but he had some good chances he can tell girls about in the next video. Romo leaves me very little to write about with his play, he steadily goes about the game frustrating dark forwards and picking up goals and assists, plus I need to borrow some tools off of him.
The darkies struggled to find the net early on but they managed to keep things close the whole game, Tim was the offensive catalyst using his speed to rush the puck out of trouble I hope I'm around to see that guy slow down. He also was an unwitting cast member of The Ice Capades version of Brokeback Mountain when Fricker rode his back like he had changed his view on same sex marriage.

Chuck, or Sugar Daddy as the ladies were calling him

 played his usual chaotic style and had far more success Tuesday night than he did Friday at Tovola's. Its always good to get your first start of the season behind the ageless wonder Murph, the man is amazing, he's about 106 years old and never takes a shift off and probably slams beers between shifts.

 Murph picked up a beauty of an assist during a dark surge. Rob McCarry was also a big part of the comeback picking up the tying goal late in the game while slowly turning into a bruise after taking a few bumps out there. The score could have been favoring the dark side around this time if not for the duo of Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder botching a two on none in front of Tree, Quiet Brian and the Commish each handled the puck at least two time and could not complete a four foot pass let alone a shot on goal, oh well first week.

 For me personal it was great to be back with the boys, its hard to believe how much has changed with the rink. Removing the old door and replacing it with two that open without a speed bump in between might be the best thing they have ever done and the boards are in a race with the Commish to see who can get the most ink. Speaking of the Commish he did a nice job on the beers supplying the boys with some cold Labatt's on a warm night. Only Quiet Brian was left without a beer after Skate-do" Lord Of The Rink"threw out what he felt was a suspicious package, turns out it was a gluten free bomb.
Till next week
