What a fantastic night of hockey folks. Hockey was heaven and then on stage, everyone, sitting up there telling stories and laughing and having a few beers, I noticed even the Falcon stayed much later then normal…’what up with that?’
Team Hollywood Hookers ended up winning the mini tournament, with 3 wins, 1 loss and no ties. They ended up with a minus one on the night. Where, interestingly enough, the Shamus Sharks, finished with 5 points, with 2 wins, one tie and one loss, and they finished plus 6 on the night. The May Day Marauders, finished with one tie and 3 losses and finished minus 5 on the night.
Snowpants had to leave the last game, due to a ‘lower body injury’ which is thought to be his thigh, he worked hard out there, but eventually the Tomcats had to think about the entire season, and not just one game, so Captain Hollywood (Sounds like a super hero) originally said, “Snowpants is being double shifted and playing both the penalty kill and the power play”. But then changed his mind, when he saw Snowpants crying in the corner by the piano. Then Captain Hollywood said, “OK you can sit the last game, there’s no Pants, like Snowpants, like no pants I know” Captain Hollywood had concluded.
It should be noted that Zchabba did a Bobby Orr and rushed the ball from his own zone and scored a goal.
Youngblood is still on injured reserve and his return (like Syd the Kid’s) is still unknown.
With the three star selection, 3rd star, with 6 goals on the night, Shamus, second star, with 7 goals on the night (5 in the first game against the Shamus Sharks) Lovie and first star, with one spectacular save after another, Bearcat. “If only I could stop the easy ones'” Bearcat had said.
It was late into the night and I could hear stories being told, one about Fedur Federov by Jingles and one by Sam Roberts by Doc….
There was some “Crazy Business” going on too, I only caught the tail end of the story, but someone, had done a huge ‘poopers’ in Yuri’s private dressing room, Yuri was not happy. “It stunk my dressing room out, who does that”? Yuri had asked.
Overall a fantastic night of hockey…..lots of guys sitting on stage for a long time…nice to see.
Chevy’s case was put aside and Jack-ees case along with Razor’s 12 was consumed and a couple of Rolling Rock were thrown in for good measure.
Stevo brings a 24 of Brava Light, as a fine case….you will remember it was he, who let his team have a drink, before the tournament was over. “Stevo was wrong, he knew it, we play as a club and we drink as a club, so with him bucking up and buying more beer, it really did not hurt anyone, except Yuri of course, who does not seem to like that beer”. stated the Falcon. But, I have to tell you, as I snuck up on stage I spied with my little eye, Yuri having a Brava Light.
Make sure you keep checking out the new feature ‘What the Tomcats Know’ on Sunday-Monday-Tuesday basis, as it gives you the reader a knowing of who is in and who is out on Tuesday’s and it also gives you some updates.
And Finally, I want to remind everyone that the December St. Felix is now here….Razor does a fantastic piece on page three and new fella, May Day uses a pen name and interviews Snowpants, check it out on page 2….and you only thought I Harry Ballsonue was funny, well, while you’re reading the Felix, I’ll be sure to put my Harry Ballsonue.
