It was old time hockey last night, no mini. Hurricane made his first start of the season in goal. “I love it when Hurricane goes in net”, an excited Chevy said. “Its a great chance for me to pad my stats.” Unfortunately, Chevy was on Hurricanes team. “I tried everything to get someone to switch teams with me. I even offered every player on Sunnys Spartans shares in Amys Helping Hands if they would switch. No one took the offer” stated a disappointed Chevy.

The other goalie for the night, stepping in for Razor, was the Matador. Razor called in, saying he had met some Tomcat groupies in a bar, and that they wanted to play with him. No Tomcat can refuse an offer like that.

The games were very exciting, with the Bravehearts taking the first. “We fell behind early, and it was too much to recover from, especially with Hurricane in the opposing goal. It took us half a game to get used to a lefty in the net “stated Cribzie. The second game was a different story. After a rousing motivational speech to his team, Sunny led them to to victory. Stellar goal tending from Matador proved the difference, although the Bravehearts defensive responsibilities could be questioned. “It was hard to look Hurricane in the eye after that game,” said a despondent Sparky. “We left him out to dry too often. He is not Ken Dryden, I can’t expect him to cover up all my defensive gaffs.

It was decided the rubber match would be two twenty minute periods. It was give and take take for the whole 40 minutes, neither team wanting to lose. The play, furious, with all players giving it everything they they had. As expected, it came down to the last minute,   the Bravehearts scoring with 10 seconds left to tie the game.

This is the part where history was made. “I don’t know whose idea it was,” says Beep, “but it was decided a shoot out should be had, involving only the goalies. ”

“It was the most exciting thing I have ever seen” stated Killer, “even topping watching my tomatoes grow.”

The shootout lasted only one round, with  the Matador emerging victorious. “I was deking all the way,” a beaming Matador said. “I saw Soupy score two goals on Hurricane that way, deking him out of his jock strap, gloves, pants and helmet. I knew I could do the same”.

Matador was named first star of the night for his solid goal tending and stepping up to the plate to fill in for Razor. Second star went to the Green Giant, also for volunteering to play goal if required. However, there was some concern that the Tomcat goal tending equipment would not fit him. Third star goes to the entire Spartans team, for not accepting Chevys bribe to play on their team, thereby preventing him from shooting  balls at Hurricanes head.

On a more serious note, friends and family are doing a” Celebration of Life for Franca” on Saturday March 05. The event will be held at Purples and you as a tomcat friend are asked to attend  ( if you knew her and want to). Dinner is to be served at 5. Let Stevo know if you intend to go, as Mo and Jerry need to know.
