That Harry, he’s exceptionally quick at getting out the results from recent Tomcats games; which undoubtedly keep the Tomcats fans happy as is evidenced by the web site stats (Closing in on 20000!!). But you know who is even quicker – BEEP!! Just like in the classic Bugs Bunny Road Runner shows of old, all poor old Wile E Coyote; and the remainder of The Leopards team who Beeps squad played first, could only watch as 15 seconds into the game – BEEP SCORES!!!!
I do believe this is a Tomcats record, and The Matador indeed as a first time mini tournament Captain made an excellent choice in the rising superstar.
Harry has laid it out for teams and stats, but I do dispute the numbers. While I had the same win/lose, tie and final points, I had The Bulls and Leopards even at Goals for and against. By my count each team was 10GF and 7GA with the identical records of 2-1-1; but as The Bulls beat the Leopards in the very first game 4-2, they ended up as tournament winners. Soupy of the Leopards later lamented, “Man, that’s just wrong, ‘cause The Mustangs beat the Bulls and we crushed the Mustangs with a shut out – guess that first game really played a significant factor in the end”.
One of the three stars on the night went to Hollywood, who filled in at goalie and truly showed he still has the stuff. In the past I had noted this as well and still stick to my position as Hollywood being one of the best three way players in the game today; forward, defense or goal; Hollywood is sure bet to get it done.
As Falcon did get the only shut out on the night critics will argue he was a good selection at the number two spot, but I think Stevo was snubbed even despite his minor missteps, which included catching a goalie and using him AKA Snowpants style to sweep the floors, the ‘hack?’ on a goalie behind the net, or the “accidental” stick throw, Stevo as usual was a factor in most of the games The Mustangs played. He was definitely a factor on the goal sheet when Beep on a very rare giveaway allowed Stevo a shot from the deadly slot area, beating poor Skippy once again and showing he still indeed has the “stuff”. Later Stevo would comment on the night’s events, “I may have let my emotions get away from me and it has cost me some beer; but my passion for the game and Tomcats players is unquestioned. I just hope with what I saw out there tonight the boys will remember to play the ball, and just have fun”.
Sources have heard The Biebs has become a Tomcats web surfer and in turn has been carefully reviewing news updates. Apparently he recently tweeted, “Ok, I apologized for the tournament, but it’s real good to see some of the Tomcats players might have been a problem too”.
One thing is for certain…with the tournament a mere week away I predict several Tomcats will be missing this upcoming Tuesday’s game. Speculation is that players missing will be keenly preparing for the tourny, and I know I certainly wouldn’t want to be reffing what is bound to be a very tightly contested matchup this year. As I try to hack into the Tomcats satellite feed in preparation for the tourny, I will be Pattyn MEGROYN.
