Windsor Tomcats

by Harry Ballsonue

“Last season we couldn’t win at home and we were losing on the road. My failure was that I couldn’t think of any place else to play.”
–Harry Neale

White Gila Monsters: Falcon, Chevy, Soupy, Snowpants, Killer, Rocky, Hollywood and Chico
Black Lizards: Razor, Sunny, La Bamba, Matador, Rake, Hurricane, Turk, Sheep Dog and Stevo

Another fantastic night of hockey at the Kapusta Kow Palace, with the White Gila Monsters taking it, 8-5 and 10-8 and thus the quote from Harry Neale (See above) as that could very easily apply to the Black Lizards last night. “We had a hell of a time scoring a goal” indicated La Bamba, then added, “we had our chances, don’t get me wrong, but we just could not capitilze, Flacon palyed great, he was like Patrick Roy of old in the net.” La Bamba concluded.
Snowpants was on fire for the Gila Monsters as well, notching a few key goals. “I think our whole team played very well tonight”, stated Snowpants, “I’m very proud of how we did out there tonight”.

The teams were made by Sunny last night. “I felt the teams were very fair and even”, stated Sunny.

It was fan appreciation night last night at the Kapusta Kow and Sally Schneider of Puce Ontario, won the Contest to meet Sunny, The Rake and Killer.”I could not believe it when they (Tomcats) called”. stated a shaking Shneider, “Sunny is my favourite and the other two, well, I can’t stop thinking about them”. stated a totally excited Schneider and then added, “this may very well be the best day of my life” Schneider concluded.

Lucky fan Sally Schneider of Puce Ontario won the ‘Meet the
Tomcats’ Contest. “I just can’t believe I got to meet Sunny…
wow,” Schneider said.

Soupy was also impressive for the Gila Monsters,  with his accurate shots on net, his passing, his weaving and stick handling but most impressive when it came to some yoga moves as he was trying to get the ball, “yeah, it’s something I have been working on, it’s new, two exercises in one, yoga and floor hockey” indicated a smiling Soupy.

For the Black Lizards Stevo ended up playing but you could see he was a step behind in most of the play. The Matador a competitor, did well by notching a few goals for the Lizards and I thought, the Hurricane had one of his best nights ever, even though he was only on the score sheet a few times. “Sometimes it’s not what is on the score sheet that counts”, stated, The Turk. The Hurricane played tough in the corners and created some excelllent scoring chances.

A classy move by Snowpants, with the goalie pulled in game two, and the Gila Monsters up 10-8, and 36 secondls left on the clock, Snowpants had a chance to score an empty netter, but dished it off to the side. Now that is Sportsmanship.

A solid performed by Chevy last night, he was to bring a 12 but instead, brought a 24 MGD. ‘Just because’. That’s what makes the Tomcat world go round and round.

Hockey next week, only Bulldog and Sunny are out and Zaba remains on the IR and Bearcat will make his goaltending season debut, you don’t want to miss that!

Next week, just watch the slap shots. None this past week, but, it inches closer and closer.

Hey Sally Schneider of Puce Ontario, can I put my Harry Ballsonue.
