“Usually, Yuri will say to me, when he is against me, ‘watch the cherry picker’, but because I was on his team, he did not say that, instead he put me down for the beer I brought, which was Brava Light” Stevo said, as he was leaving the Kapusta Kow Palace. He scored a few goals tonight, one that he got on the Matador, with 2 seconds left in the game, on a high pass from his brother, that was passed up over Sparky and as Stevo caught the pass in his glove, and put it on the floor and then put it threw the five hole to tie the game up the press box erupted. “How does that happen, with 2 seconds left on the clock”, asked Damien Cox of the Toronto Star.
In the three star selection, Shamus was third star, the Danish came in as second star and Killer, just back from the I.R. was the first star knotting 6 goals on the night. “I felt great out there today” Killer said, “I got 6, but did not score in the final game” He concluded.
Junior who was to bring a 24 out tonight, had protested and appealed the fine and brought no beer! (can you imagine?) The minister of fines and suspensions, is to make a formal ruling and everyone is to be advised by email. “I don’t believe I should be fined a 24, I have asked the Minister to look at my appeal and to make a determination, I don’t want to get into the facts through the media, but May Day is a fair man and I will gladly accept the fine that is handed out by him but right now, no beer “. Stated Junior. When asked if he at least brought his 12 pack that he owed from the week before, he said, ‘no comment”.
So we have covered the Cherry Picker, the Nicker and now a flicker.
I don’t know what it is about the Tomcats, but I see a flicker of greatness amongst them all. Ever hang out with them? Great bunch of guys? Laughing, loving. Come and spend some time with them, you won’t want to leave.
Big thanks goes out to two net minders that normally do not play for the Tomcat in net, The Danish and to the Matador. The Tomcats thank you.
It was thought that Youngblood was going to come off Injured Reserve and be at the games, but he did not pass the medical and sat in the press box watching the games. Tomcats hope to have him back next week.
Snowpants had a hot night as well, notching his 13th and 14th goals of the season. Rocky on the other hand, netted 5 goals on a few very pretty passes by Hurricane. The Hurricane may not be the storm he once was, but can still make a nice pass.
The Black Snowbirds ended up winning the mini tournament. That Rocky, he knows how to pick them .
Jack-Key (Lovie’s wife) had been fined a 12, it has been since, discovered that Lovie’s not showing up was truly legitimate and that Jack-Key should not have been fined. The Tomcats take back that fine. It should be noted however, that Lovie brought his case of 12 with no reluctance, appeal or excuses. As for Stevo, had had not turned on his ‘out of the office’ device and missed the Rake telling him that he would not be there and along with his 12 (that he was suppose to bring) brought an additional 12 of Brava Light. “I love that beer, it is tasty and smooth and I encourage all Tomcats to bring Brava Light, as their beer. It the beer of summer”. Stevo had said.
After the complaint about the Brava Lights (by Yuri) and Juniors appeal, (It’s before the review board”) I sat there with the Danish not looking and I said to him, ‘good goaltending tonight and congrats on being named the second star, now lay still, as I put my Harry Ballsonue”.
