Hellcats: Falcon, Hollywood, Lovie, Snowpants, Shamus, Chevy and Yuri
Blackcats: Razor, Crow, Spinner, Youngblood, Rocky and Stevo
7-5, 3-7, 5-1. Hellcats win.
If Razor plays hockey in the tournament, like he did last night, you might as well give the Polka Kings the Stanley’s Cup as they walk in on the 26th and let the drinking begin. Razor made save after save after save. Only sharpshooter Lovie Edgar was able to solve the Razor. Shamus, who usually can nail them in pretty good, was on the score sheet with only one goal on the night. But don’t think for a moment, the Falcon was a slouch, no way!!! the Falcon made some pretty darn great saves on Stevo close in, when it looked like he had the Falcon down and out, out came a black leather flash and a glove save was made.
“Any time I can get the Falcon to lay on his belly, it means more to me then a goal”, Stevo Jaworiwsky had said and smiled.
David ‘Crow’ Crawford was his usual Mario Lemieux self setting up plays, dangling, zipping, skipping all the way on the score sheet. Spinner Dzibela shot a rocket into the top shelf, right where Grandma keeps the peanut butter.
Strong performances were also exhibited by Chevy, Doc, Yuri, Youngblood and Hollywood. Snowpants, who was still hanging onto the effects if a bad cold, struggled, but notched two goals on the night.
At one time, the big man, Chevy Szcewczuk crashed Andy ‘Doc’ Brewin into the cement wall. After the large thump and the words, “play the ball” were yelled they continued to play the game of hockey, but after the game, Doc Brewin said, “I always don’t know if I am going to be dropping the gloves with Chevy or not”.
Two and Two spares made for a great night of hockey, all in preparation for the upcoming February 26, Tomcat Hockey Tournament.
At the tournament, maybe behind the curtain, ready your forehead and I’ll slip my Harry Ballsonue.
