Friedrich Jingles once stated, ” The cork is not afraid of even the greatest depth”
Kamikaze’s first mini as a Captain and he was not afraid to jump in and pick a team…. he shone like a star. Picked a team that won it all. Sparky on the other hand, picked all good players, but players that could not play together. Sparky’s team struggled and then struggled and then struggled some more. Chico’s team did well, but could not finish the deal….and oh, did I mention, that Sparky’s team struggled.
Kamikaze Komets: Kamikaze (Captain), Falcon, Tunes, Chevy, Cribzie and Killer
Sparky’s Edsel’s: Sparky (Captain) Lovie, Soupy, Spinner, Stevo, Hollywood and Doc
Chico’s Cheetahs’ Chico (Captain) Beep, Matador, Rocky, Jingles and Hurricane
The hockey was very calm and collective….was it because Snowpants was not in the line up, some suggested it was so.
Interesting event occurred, two games before the end, the Komet’s grab from the case of beer with games to be played, Chevy takes responsibility, “I said to the team, let’s win the next game and drink the beer and I will buy the fine case”…and they did and Chevy will. Team Chico Cheetah’s jumped on the situation and had beer too before the final game was played….can you say gamesmanship. (NO fine for the Cheetah’s)
Skippy and Spanky never showed up, Skippy made a big production of how he was a full time player and that he wanted to play out and not in net…. and that he was bringing his beer and money for the year and….and…..and…….never showed up…….Is that Tomcat material or Skipjack material I ask you?
Spanky….unknown…no call, no show up, he still thinks it’s 1993 and you just don’t show up.
Speaking of 1993, a blast from the past, Hurricane played in net…..shut them down with Sawchuk like saves….and a Johnny Bower set of pads….and can you say Tony Esposito…(Both right hand catchers)
In the first two games, Hurricane never wore a mask but then someone told him it was 2014 and goalies wear masks, so he donned a mask…
It should be mentioned that Hurricane has played every year (At least one game in net) since the inception of the Tomcats way back in 1989.
Solid by Killer, was suppose to bring a 12…brings a 24….’put her there Killer’.
Snowpants, could not play due to a upper body injury, believed to be the right wrist, did not play, but did a super solid, by bringing Tim Bits and a bottle of rum…”Put her there Snowpants”!
Snowpants shows up looking like a cross between Sporty Spice and Jersey Shore!
The three star selection as selected by La Bamba, the 3rd star, Beep, 2nd Star, Chevy and the first star, Hurricane. “I got to tell you, I felt good in net, but, not sure if I was deserving of first star, Chevy maybe but me, no”. A humble Hurricane indicated. And speaking of Chevy, what was that that he was wearing on his head? He started off with a touque then went to what looked like a bandanna, but was it?
What is Chevy wearing on his head? A mini inner tube?
Injury report on Stevo was that he took a ball (deflection of his own team mate shot…Spinner) to the left ear…the pain was excruciating at first, but the medical staff iced him down and he was able to finish the night.
Not in the line up next week, Skippy, Mayday, Bulldog, Crow, Rocky and Stevo…..if you know you are not able to play ahead of Tuesday, why not text Stevo and tell him. (He will text Hollywood and let him know)
Whilst you are munching down on some Tim Bits, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
