I watched the games last night and noticed a few white Ghost crossing shirts…they did not seem to be scoring much, I noticed a couple of black Tomcat Shirts, with the Royal type logo, a few goals from those guys, I noticed an old Purple’s shirt with # 32 on, effective, but not a lot of goal production….but then one shirt jumped at me, it was a blue Collared shirt worn by Shamus Goldstein. In all of my years of covering the Tomcats, not once have I seen someone wear a collared shirt, I wondered if the shirt would help…..and sure enough it did. In the three games, where the Blackcats scored a total of 16 goals, Shamus Goldstein popped 8 or 9 goals. YES! 8 or 9 goals!!! That is like 50% of all the goals.
“It’s a 13 year old shirt” Said Goldstein during a commercial time out.
“Next week I plan to wear a tie” stated Chevy Szcewczuk.
Victor ‘Snowpants’ Ferranti, who ran the goalie, Mike ‘the Falcon’ Menzel, played the entire game and did not leave early with an injury as in past weeks. Mike Menzel will be undergoing an MRI for that collision today on a precautionary basis. “He just about knocked my moustache off” stated a woozy Menzel, “I can’t believe he did not get a penalty and get thrown out of the game for that”. indicated an upset and injured Mike Menzel.
“Oh we were ready to fight him” state Ken ‘Cribz’ Cribley, but Coach told three or four of us, “just play our game, we don’t need to be a goon like Snowflake….let’s get a few goals and win this thing”,indicated Cribley.
And Happy Birthday to a couple of Tomcats, to Paul Poisson, who celebrated a birthday yesterday, November 2.and to Johnny ‘the Mayor’ Matuiska who celebrates a birthday today, November 3 and to brand new Tomcat, as of yesterday, Vince ‘Boomba’ Vlaminck, whose birth it is today, November 3. He turns 49 today for those keeping score.
Beer next week from Andy Brewin and Killer brings 12.
