Hockey was excellent and controversial. The Stingrays took the Mini, by beating the Jingles Jets in their final game. That part was exciting hockey, the controversial part occurred when the Snowpants Fury scored a goal and the Jingles Jets did not think it went in. 3 Players on stage called it in and one did not. Stevo working the clock, determined that in a 3 to one ratio, that it should be counted as a goal. That made the score 3-1 for the Jets. They were still leading by two goals….well you know what Don Cherry says, its the worst lead in hockey and the Jets proved him right by losing 5-3. Did that one controversial goal make that big of difference that saw The Fury score 5 unanswered goals? Five goals?? If the Jingles Jets scored one more goal, and made it 4-1 you might not have had Hollywood yelling “NOOO GOOOALLLLL”……”NOOOOO GOOOOALLLL” in a continued annoying unsportsmanlike way, every time a goal was scored after that.
The Jets were rattled and then, with the tournament all theirs, they lost to the Stingrays in the final. “Where I have an issue, is that you have three players who are on the black team and they want white to win…that is the issue for me,” Jingles stated in a disgusted manner.
Controversial night? I would say so. How do you solve that? Bring in a ref? What would he have done, he would have gone to the four sitting on the stage and asked them what they saw and would have counted it a goal….3 to one vote….right?
Controversy and the Matador was not even there!
Stevo indicated, “Why did I have to be working the clock at that moment. I did not see if it went in. Hurricane scored it, the three on stage said it went in. Do we need a designated goal judge? Maybe the Board of Directors can figure out over the summer what to do on calls like that….what do I care if it went in or not…..”.. Stevo concluded.
3 weeks left…Sea Lion will be asked to come out on the very last night of hockey…..don’t need players pouting…and crying and leaving the stage early in a huff. We are all brothers….
Three Star Selection, as selected by La Bamba, third star, # 29 Razor. the second star # 21 Tunzie and the first star, Et la Premiere etoile # 27 Shack.
Doc hosted a party on Saturday and a couple of Tomcats attended, with one of them being Soupy (a fan favourite) Soupy sang a version of “Pour Some Sugar On It”,
I am being told, that would have made you cry. A goal scorer and a rock star.
Next week, Soupy is playing in net…..you certainly do not want to miss that.
Preppy Rocker Soupy poses back stage with his band after blowin’ the doors off “Pour Some Sugar on Me.”
Hollywood, AKA Brozzer is starting up a mechanical shop……
Broser s automotive ?? Is this another April Fools joke by Hollywood ….is he really a mechanic and not a hot tub guy ?
OUT DOOR GAME : I was following a lead, to confirm that the out door game was to be cancelled and then the pesky Tomcats released a press release. Everyone is being asked to cancel anyone (from outside the Tomcat circle) they asked and the Tomcat Tuesday night on April 21 will be just that, a Tomcat Tuesday night. Food is also being planned after hockey as the boys sit around one last time and have a drink with the guys and say their good byes until May 29 when they see each other again for Tomcat Golf!
Stevo stated that if we have more then our usual amount of guys for the 21st of April, that he will summon a fourth goalie and make four teams with a start time of 6pm that day…..(Start time at Lansberry was for 6 pm anyway……). Bearcat Meloche had indicated that he would like to be the fourth goalie and can play on that night. Also Tomcats are looking at calling up Sol and Big Ned from the minors for that game if they need to round out the teams. Sol is Sunny’s son and Big Ned is Stevo’s boy. Also for those following the line up for that night, Crow has indicated that he would be coming out on that night.
More information will be made available as the weeks follow, so Stevo is suggesting you keep your eye on the Tomcat web site and to check your emails as well. A head count will be taken, so that it is known how much beer and hot dogs will be required.
It was Falcon bobble head night and 3 lucky fans got to meet Falcon and ask him one question each…..Moe asked, “What does it mean when they say you flash the leather”?
Curly asked, “What does the ‘five hole’ mean”? and Larry asked, “Are you the best dad ever”?
Fans adore the Falcon …here Larry Curly Falcon and Moe ….Falcon also goes by the name Shemp !
Hey, whilst you are cancelling you buddies for the out door game and thinking how many hotdogs you might eat on stage on the 21st of April, do you think
when you have that wiener in your mouth, I could put my Harry Ballsonue?
