It was an intense night of hockey and the Black Thunder took the tournament. Congrats to team Captain Hurricane for selecting his team. “I felt confident going in, I know I had some slower D man, but I knew they would pull us in to the Championship Win Colum. along with the goal scoring forwards I had selected.” stated Hurricane. (who did not score a goal on the night).
The three star selection, as selected by La Bamba, 3rd star, Tunes, 2nd Star, Bulldog, and the first star, Bearcat. “When the names were being read out over the PA system and I heard the third star and then the second star, I thought, WTF, the bastards won’t even include one of our players (Black Thunder) to be a star, but then I heard Bearcats name and I felt better.” indicated Black Thunder super star/ scoring sensation, Chevy. (who got yelled at by Stevo for elbowing the Matador in the head)
At the end of the night, I was not privileged to the speech that Stevo gave, but it had something to do with all of the guys on stage being friends, and that Bearcat and Bulldog were brothers, and that the Matador and Tunes were friends, and that Snowpants and Cribizie were friends and that the Rake and Killer were lovers and that Chico only had Doc as a friend and everyone felt sorry for him so Soupy stood up and said, “I will be your friend Chico”. So now Soupy and Chico are friends…and the lesson was, let’s take care of each other on the floor and lets play hard, but not over do it. Stevo just does not want to see the over zealousness on the floor and after 25 years, is tired of yelling “Play The Ball”.
At the end of the night, Ghost Crossing shirts were presented to the three ‘Show Case’ players…..the reason for that is that that they have been coming out, loyally when asked to. Spanky also got a Ghost Crossing shirt, for joining the Tomcats. “I had to smile and say, ‘Fraser is down’, when Spanky took his first shot on net and then fell down”, indicated a smirking Turk.
A super solid on Spanky’s part was that he brought 12 Tall Boys of a Sleeman Product, just because!
The boys stayed on stage later then normal….
Tomcats at the Tomcat bar…Tomcats Forever!
Stevo, on his own, with no one around him, when down for the second time in two weeks, leading hockey insiders to wonder if he is done for the year and possibly his career. After he went down in the third game, he did not return, Tomcat Medical Staff had this to say, “Stevo suffered a lower body injury (believed to be his knee) and will be assessed in the days to come. We are hoping that he is in the line up next Tuesday”.
It should be noted that Sheep Dog and the Kamikaze both scored their first Tomcat goals last night…..I am hoping that someone picked up the ball for each guy.
Sparky is looking for guys to help carry beer empties out to his truck next Tuesday before hockey. “If we just formed a line and brought the empties out to my truck, it would be a great deal of help, could guys try to get there a bit early next week to help. I also hope that it will be in the ‘What the Tomcats know” next week, just to remind those that can and want to help.” Stated Sparky.
Hey, you think, while you are walking down the stairs with empty beer cans and bottles, I can put my Harry Ballsonue.
