Sheep Dog SNOW LEOPARDS: Sheep Dog, Bullwinkle, Snowpants, Tonto, Cribzie, Stevo, The Rake and The Terror (in Net)
A perfect night to play at the Kapusta Now Palace, only two teams (last week three teams and three spares a side) this week one team had two spares and the other team had 3 spares. Soupy made the teams. The Sheep Dog Snow Leopards took both games, first game, was a goaltender duo, although the score does not reflect it, 10-9. In the second game, The Falcon came across with his pad and made a super spectacular save with his pad, probably the save of the year. The Terror was peppered with shots from the Panthers big guns, Chevy, Soupy, El Choppo but he held his own and kept the ball out, the Sheep Dog Snow Leopards take the second game, 8-4.
Debut by Kramden and Sheepdog had the place sold out …Both asked to get a photo taken with the Franchise Player …Bullwinkle
Ref Doc called a penalty on the Panthers, Soupy was sent off for knocking the net off. (the Snow Leopards went 0-1 on their power play and the Kramden Panthers were 1-0 on the penalty kill)
If you know you can’t play next week, please let Stevo know.

I Love it when….
In the NFL, I love it when the play by play ref- guy says “gentlemen that’s what the refs are talking about now …this play will be coming back there is no catch no doubt in my mind”…
Pause
Refs shown on t v looking into a small t v box.
Ref leaves the little monitor, turns to the crowd, turns on his mike and says, “ after further review the play on the field stands, it is ruled a catch “
Silence in the booth.
Don Cherry
I must say that Sports Net dropped the ball in firing Don Cherry, I am glad they do not carry any of the Tomcat Games. People should boycott Labatts and who ever they pick to replace Don Cherry the King of Hockey. He knows hockey and is a dynamic personality. People should wear a poppy no matter who you are. Don is one of the greatest Canadians ever and should be so recognized. Shame on you Ron McLean for not sticking up for your mate, he made you and you threw him under the bus. Where would you be today if it was not for Don, would you be doing weather in Saskatchewan? I think some smart organization will hire Don Cherry and viewers and listeners will flock to where he is, if he wants to continue in broadcasting. But maybe he should run for PM instead and tell Canada to lighten up.
Whilst you are thinking, ‘man I love that quote about the size of the dog and the size of the fight in the dog’, do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue.
