Very exciting hockey at the Kapusta Kow…as the White Gnats took the Mini. with 2 wins, and 2 ties, for 6 points. The Green Hornets, came in second with 5 points and the Black Chevy Flies totaled one point on the night with one tie. The interesting part was, that the Green Hornets were the oldest team on the floor, with Yuri and Hurricane at 55, Stevo at 54. La Bamba at 51, Bubbles at 49, Spinner 47 and the baby of the crowd, Hollywood at the tender age of 40.
The three star selection, as selected by La Bamba, 3) Bubbles, 2) Razor (# 2) and the first star, 1) Crow.
Although Crow played like a little water bug, both Razor and Bubbles had great games too. “I think Crow scored every goal for us, except for two” Indicated Team Captain Soupy.
It was exciting Tomcat hockey and the biggest interest was the long hair of Hurricane. “I’m growing it out a bit’ Hurricane said, “The hair flows, as I run down the Kapusta Kow floor” he concluded. Chevy, who is a big fan of Hurricane and Hurricane is his mentor, indicated “I may grow mine out too, now that I see my mentor has it long.”
Two new faces in the line up tonight as a show case included the Sheep Dog and the Kamikaze. They both played a solid game on defense and with one week under their belts, should even do better next week. And speaking of next week……..Next Tuesday, October 8, the Windsor Tomcats will be show casing 2 more new faces at the Kapusta Kow Palace…Yes, the word on the street is that there might be a mini and that conceivably there might be 4 spares a side on three teams….maybe…. more like one spare a side.
Please show the kind courtesy that you would like to be shown, if it was you showing up for your first time.
One question asked from the crowd, “Why now Stevo?” and to answer that, Stevo says, ‘if not now, then when’? Stevo’s thinking is, to get it done and over with. Let these new guys try it out, see if they are any good and see if they themselves like it. There are intangibles. You maybe a shitty player, but if one of them brings out a 12 pack on that night, well then, who gets called up first. Hmmmmm, interesting. It’s how the Tomcats think….and interestingly enough, the Sheep Dog, showed up with a 12 pack of MGD, so you know he will be getting a few more Tuesdays.
One other thing that Stevo is asking is that, some guys let these guys use your spare stick. Tomcats don’t expect them to go out a buy a junior stick and then never to be called again. They should have a pair of hockey gloves, so really the only thing that they will need is a stick to use, in not, hockey gloves will be provided as well. The Tomcats are a Benevolent bunch.
The four Captains for the tournament, Lovie, Jingles. Snowpants and Stevo should all make a point of being there on that night, in case these players make it into the draft.
The four anticipated ‘Show Cases’ for next week are, ‘Sheepdog’ , ‘Kamikaze’ , (already played last week) and ‘Tunes’ and “Misty Malone”. (Real names to be provided on stage). All four have been invited and as far as the Windsor Tomcats know and are concerned, all four plan on attending.
I would like to leave you with a Fred Shero quote, “When you have bacon and eggs for breakfast, the chicken makes a contribution, the pig makes a commitment.”
Tomcats held their annual NHL Hockey draft and a very good turn out participated. That is a team effort..and what the Tomcats are all about.
A super solid by Crow, as he brings a 24 of Bud Lite..’just because’ and a solid on new comer Sheep Dog, who brought a 12 of MGD ‘just because’. Greatjob fellas, know that it is very appreciated by the Tomcats. “Knowing what I know, “indicated Doc, “that 12 that Sheep Dog brought, will go a long way, don’t be surprised if you see the Sheep Dog, not just next week, but a few other Tuesday’s here and there” Doc concluded.
During the NHL Tomcat Hockey Draft, did you notice that I put my Harry Ballsoune.
