White – Spinner, Killer, Razor, Bulldog, Hurricane, Sparky, Rocky and Jingles
I was hot just sitting in the press box as I watched the players run up and down the floor, so I can’t imagine how the poor goailies were feeling. Razor only once indicated it was a little warm when after winning his second game he stated, “Beer, God I need a beer.” That seemed to spark the Tighty Whities into winning the final game 4-2, a shorter agreed upon tilt due to the swelterinig sauna which players toiled under.
Sparky was responsible for runnig the show as Stevo and Hollywood had other commitments. (Stevo Injured, Hollwood scouting in Indina). Tomcats players and fans are holding their collective breaths as Stevo is currently out with an injury. Sources have indicated this injury may be a little more serious than previously thought. We’re talking possible season ending injury folks – numerous doctors, sports psycologist and mediums have poked and proded poor Stevo to death trying to get him back in the game. The last email I was able to intercept from Stevo had him speculating he’d return April 3rd. That being said sources have told me that Stevo is not going to play in the outdoor tournament due to the injury. Apparently the surface of the outdoor game may be cause for further injury or agravation to the injury and Stevo will have to miss it. The email further stated that while injured Stevo was confident the Tomcats were able to press on and finish this season, considering all the talent behind the scenes available to fill in. Sparky filled in nicely as the Captain and leader of the club, he made up the teams and did a very good job.
I have to admit I called the White squad winning all three tilts, one just had to look at the top 3 players on each side and could argue there may have been a mismatch. Black seemed to lack the scoring punch with Chevy Cribz and Snowpants the only arguable threats. Speak of non threats, fans were treated to a rare appearance by Skippy donning the gear to play out. The Skipster actually had a goal and assist credited to him by evenings end, but one could tell he was a little out of his element when he kept stating, “Run, what is this run you speak of?”
Skippy played out this evening and tried to distract the Whities with his out-of-this-world pants.
The Tighty Whities however had the scoring trio of Rocky, Spinner, and Jingles. Add Hurricane, Bulldog, Killer and Sparky to the mix and it was a no brainer White was more dominant, despite their first game scare of a 7-6.
It should be noted, that Doc scored three on the night and that is a career high for him. Not only did he do a great on filling the cooler with ice, he went out and scored three goals.
Heat was a factor, and I still laugh at hearing Razor reaquesting a cold frosty one, it must have been from his work in a very respectable 4.3 G.A.A compared to Falcon’s 6 G.A.A. Regardless fans and players alike went against the norm and named both goalies the stars of the night. A better statement couldn’t have been made, and both played well in the heat. When it was all over I didn’t want to get too close to anyone with all the man sweat running off the players , so I missed out on anyone placing thier HANDZONMECAC.
