As I cover the game from high a top, in the press box, in the rafters of the Kapusta Kow Palace, the stadium announcer says, “Your starting line up for your Windsor Tomcatsssss…..# 2 Louis Koenigsberger….” I thought, gee, there is talk of Dion Phaneuf returning to the Leafs this week and here is Louis Koenigsberger making his season debut. (similar styles).
When you have the talents of Sunny, Lovie, Soupy and Snowpants on one team, you know you are going to get some nice passing plays…and they did not disappoint….winning the first two games, 7-5 and 7-5.
Killer and Youngblood on the same team again but did not seem to have that Hull and Oates, Gretzky and Kurri, Trottier and Bossey magic that they had a few weeks ago. Pressure playing in a hockey crazed city like Windsor? Hummmmm?
The twin towers looked good, Shamus and Jingles…..with Jingles going down at one time around the net, as Louis ‘Phaneuf’ Koenigsberger pushed his weight around.
David ‘Crow’ Crawaford, who signed the 100 million dollar 10 year contract in the off season, did not disappoint. Crafty with the ball, he set up Stevo Jaworiwsky for some high light reel goals. “I had a super fun night tonight…after a night like that, you think of saying, ‘that’s it, I’m ending my career on a high note’ and never playing again, but, I’ll miss stopping at Taco Bell with Doc and Crow after hockey, so I better play at least another four years” Jaworiwsky had said.
The Jaworiwsky boys were paired up as defensive partners, “That does not happen that often”, indicated the younger Jaworiwsky, “I hope my mom and dad have the game on TSN, so they can watch us play”.
The most important thing was the beer, The Rake and Crow brought 12 packs, “Just because”, Husky Eyes Salaris brought his 24 of Sleeman, Tomcats threw in an extra 8-10 beers and the 19 Tomcats sat on stage, laughing, giggling and smiling as they talked about….what else….Hockey……specifically Tomcat hockey.
When I see you next time, Heywood Jewblowmee.
