Despite the ‘Google’ search which; according to the National Confectioners Association; says 35’million’ pounds of the stuff is sold annually, I have ‘yet’ to meet anyone who says they actually ‘like’ the candy.
You know what else I haven’t heard: players who complain about the ‘lack’ of spares on a bench. It was sure ‘thin’ ranks in players this week – 1 spare for Matador’s’Monsters’ and 2 for Shredders (Aka – Bullwinkle’s) ‘Shriekers’.
The Shriekers wound up with Sparky, Chevy, Green Giant, Skippy and Hurricane (Chico in net). Matador’s Monsters had Sunny, Kamikaze, Tonto, and Animal (Falcon in net).
Funny thing about few spares: the unassuming player ‘steps’ up; and some 4th liners get more ball handling opportunities. What does this mean for the poor goalies – a ‘shooting’ gallery.
The guy who really stepped it up? Bullwinkle. I’m telling you since COVID the man’s beefed up, and upped his cardio game (Hence the nickname i now call him: The Shredder). Bender ‘stood on his head’ for his team and the crossbar is owed a defensive contract ‘post haste’.
Not to be outdone the Matador must have had multi goals in each game. When it was over it was close with the Shrieker’s eaking out the first game by a goal and teams tying the 2nd game. OT? – Yeah right. Both benches were ‘gassed’ and only too happy to take a sit down with a cold one while still muttering incredulously that Skippy even scored a goal. Few spares = unlikely guys having more time to set up shots is what I say…..
Based on players already indicating they won’t be attending next week; I anticipate another upcoming night of few spares….and no ‘mini tournament’ (3 team night) likely to happen anytime soon.
Don’t forget to get your tickets for this Fridays ‘Night of Music for Ukraine’. ‘Ghost Crossing’ will be in the house and you’ll get some good grub.
While your thinking ‘I actually like Candy Corn’; and I will get a pasta dinner this Friday; I noticed Yuri Handzonmecac.
