This was my last night covering the Tomcats at the Kapusta Kow, for this year. My next assignment will be the Out Door Game, being held on April 23, 2013. The second last night of hockey was very intense, I thought. All teams played very well and selecting three stars would have been difficult for La Bamba.
The Black Spinners ended up winning the tournament. “The Falcon was just totally incredible in net”, stated The Turk, “I really think he saved our bacon tonight. The Turk added.
Veteran netminder Falcon gives some encouraging words to the youngster Ogie…”Just fly like an eagle kid, and always close your legs,” The Falcon had stated.
In the second final game, the Lime Green Chevy’s had a chance to beat the White Stevo’s but fell short, losing 2-0 to them, which then let the Black Spinners into the winners circle.
“I selected the team, that I thought would win tonight and it worked out for us, thanks to some timely goals and some solid play by our net minder and our defense”, indicated team Captain Spinner.
Next week, the following will not be at hockey, Beep, Stevo,. Skippy, Jingles, La Bamba, Crow and Sunny .
Just before the Stevo’s and the Chevy’s squared off, Sparky dropped his gloves and started a shoving match with the Matador, which then lead to each player grabbing another player. Stevo jumped off the bench and grabbed Chico off one of his teammates, then with Chevy, just about to smash the Hurricanes head against the cement wall, Stevo jumped in once again to his teammates aid and grabbed Chevy. Both Benches emptied but no penalties were given…”It was just like the old Nordiques vs. the Canadians games” Stated Hurricane.
Funniest line of the night came, when all the guys were sitting on the stage and the Rake said, “Hey Chevy, the donnybrook was for fun, you did not have to knee me in the stomach like that”. The stage erupted in laughter and it was probably, in the 23 years of sitting on the stage, The Rake’s best line.
Hurricane gets a solid grade for scrapping in the dust up and for brining 28 beers, not just 24.
Ogie, playing goalie for the Lime Green Chevy’s stated, “there is good news and great news, I am playing goalie, but the better news is for the other team, as I am playing goalie”.
REMINDER: Stevo will not be playing next week so if you are unable to play, let Hollywood know well in advance!
Hey, at the out door game, when you are wearing your new long sleeve Tomcat shirt, that is being sponsored by a mysterious sponsor, can I put my Harry Ballsonue?
