Reading the recent St Felix, on the Tomcat Web Site,, I love when they show the old pictures of the Tomcats. Great publication, I just hope all Tomcats read it, next issue is not until the Summer.
I had to smile seeing Bearcat as the Tomcat of the week, this week, particularly following his recent performance, this past Tuesday night. Fans were treated to a rare appearance by Bearcat, who hasn’t had the opportunity to play very often during the season. Probably like the common Grizzly bear, Bearcat came out of hibernation to lead the Black Attack to victory on the night. The Black Attack dispatched the White Knights 2 games to 1 with score of 7-3, 4-7 and 7-4, and Bearcat showed no signs of ‘ring rust’ ending the night with an impressive 4.5 G.A.A. Razor, played well, but, ended with a 6 G.A.A, but it wasn’t only Bearcat who helped Razor look human…Harry had it right in giving a big nod towards Doc, scoring 2 seperate hat tricks. Stars be damned on a ‘non’ mini tourny night – DOC WAS THE MAN!! The White Knights could only shake thier heads, not only watching Doc notch 6, but seeing last weeks scoring standout Killer be silenced. “One week I’m being called Sid the Kid and this week a bum”, Killer had said.
When the first game was done fans had a good laugh watching Skippy playing out running around then collapsing onto the bench while asking Junior just exactly where he should play – the laugh was when Junior summed up the first game by simply stating, “In net where you belong”. Skippy remained unfazed and actually scored in that first game, and considering the White Knights only scored 3 times.
Another interesting facet picked up on by Tomcat twitter followers is that in the 2 times Skippy has played out – each team he has played on lost their series. SOOO, either the Skipster really is more of a ‘Spare’ to rest the superstars, or a bookies best pal. Odds makers will be keenly watching what colour the lad wears the next time he’s gotta play out. Tomcat standout, Lovie had this to say, “Hey boys, let’s get a big turnout for our last week of Tomcat Hockey, so Skippy can’t play out!”.
My selection for a nickname, for Stevo would be ‘Headband’, but seriously, will anyone call him anything but Stevo? I know I use to hear Crispy call him Captain and I think Snowpants calls him that too and that would seem appropriate.
A point of curiosity is that Razor, who won the Tomcat regular season NHL hockey pool, did not participate in the Tomcat NHL Playoff Pool….interesting to say the least.
With the season coming to an end, fans are very eager to get their fill of Tomcats hockey – cause one knows when the last goal in the season is scored and the Tomcats have cleaned out their lockers, I will shed a tear. As I weep tears of memories of all this season has brought, I’ll need to be held and whisper – “Jingles, will you put Yuri HANDZONMECAC?”.
