Windsor Tomcats

Well loyal fans, ok fan, thanks for reading mom!!  By now the draft has taken place and posted for the millions of Tomcats fans to begin debating and wagering on the outcome.  Hockey insiders will no doubt, along with myself, have a big grin on their face seeing how both ‘Chords’ and ‘Willy’ have been successfully drafted and will play in the tourny.  The close affiliation the Tomcats have been forging with the Sandwich Towne Skipjacks has indeed proved lucrative for the two teams.  The Skipjacks know they are now an affiliate team from which Tomcats management have scouted out talent, and are learning a thing or two about true management within their own organization.  Skippy stated,”Just listening to Stevo and his journey as CEO of the Tomcats has truly been inspirational.  While I may struggle with obtaining players able to commit to our organization, I am confident the future will be much brighter thanks to ideas handed down.”   The Tomcats meanwhile can safely recruit players which fit their mould and provide new blood to the organization.

 

Confidential sources have indiacted that ‘Chords’ went in the second round, ahead of ‘Willy.’   My one loyal fan will remember I predicted 2 of 3 Skipjack players would be drafted, and my gut had ‘Dizzy’ not getting the nod this time around.  While he may not have cracked the indoor tourney, Tomcat management has not ruled out inviting him to the outdoor tourny to be held later this year.  Stevo had no comment on the subject, but speculations are new, younger players are needed to replace retiring, or ready to retire Tomcats.  ‘Danish’ a player who makes rare appearances expressed he truly believes Razor is looking to go within the next few seasons.  Time will tell if he’s right, overheard something no one else has been privy to, or simply wants any of the 3 goalies ahead of him to retire so he gets more playing time.  Unconfirmed sources also indicated ‘Crow’ was selected first overall, and if that’s true, WHAT AN HONOUR!!!

 

And while I may not have been able to watch the game from behind the bench, closer to the action, it was not surprising to see ‘Razor’ get another shutout in game play.  Stats are still in their infancy and few are on the books aside from scores in relation to goalies G.A.A.  Not a big deal as any statistician with hours of time could cull Tomcats old blogs and figure it out, but shutouts are pretty rare seeing how Stevo and his delegates break the teams down pretty evenly.  It was maybe not only a result of their steller abilities, but maybe ‘Falcon’ still has lingering pains from the recent Tomcats/Skipjacks game.  Sources had stated ‘Falcon’ had injured himself in the tilt, and fans will recall he left early citing the flu as his ailment.  Sources further indicated ‘Falcon’ was indeed not feeling well but were more concerned in the speculation of his injury.  Unconfirmed reports indicate ‘Falcon’ had hurt his knee on the playing surface, a result of either the different surface played on, or in those newer pads he was sporting.  Either way the shutout I’m sure is Razor’s way of announcing he’d like another cup added to his resume.  If successful I’m not sure where he’d put the ring, as he’s been adorned with a plenty in his steller career already.  ‘Falcon’ if injured, still has time to recoup and also has his sights set on capturing another Stanley Cup.

 

For ‘Chords’ this upcoming tourny will see him suiting up with ‘Stevo’s Stingrays’ and ‘Willy’ went to Yuri’s Met’s.  My one fan will also recall I was pretty close in predicting last years outcome, I did predict the winner, and was only off with a few win/lose stats.  This year as I mull over the Captains picks I think it will be harder as on paper all the teams look great.  What I will predict is I think it will be either Rocky’s Wings and Yuri’s Met’s or Stevo’s Stingrays in the final game.  I see 4th as Mauraders, 3rd as Met’s, and can’t predict that final game, but lean towards Rocky being back in the final with the Stingrays.  Time will tell how close I will come this year, and either way the tourny is sure to be another Tomcats success. 

 

As I received the news of ‘Chords’ and ‘Willy’ making it I attempted to speak with them but was not successful.  When I finally saw ‘Chords’ and broke the news he was speechless and kept blubbering, “I made it, oh god I can’t believe I made it’.  As he clung to me weeping tears of joy I thought I felt something; looked down and whispered, “Yuri HANDZONMECAC”
