The Kapusta was buzzing last night, with some of the fastest and exciting hockey we’ve seen all year! The games were close, the passes crisp, and the goaltending stellar. Smiles were plentiful last night as all the tomcats had a great evening.
Beep Doggy Style’s – Soupy, Beep, Tonto, Hatchie, Animal, Stevo, Cribzie, Terror in net
Big Ned Missionary’s– Sunny, Rocky, Big Ned, Killer, Bullwinkle, Hurricane, Green Giant, Bender in net
Hatchie made his season debut, and showed no rust at all, he had no problem sitting on the bench waiting for Soupy to finish his 6 minute shift. He also showed up with a case of beer for the boys, what a solid guy!
The first game saw some great passing by the trio of Beep, Soupy, and Tonto, but they could not get the ball past the Dominic Hasek style goaltending of Bender. Kinda like his golf game, he was all over the place. The Doggy Style’s fought hard, but they were no match for the Missionary’s; whose play on the floor fully resembled the sex position they are named after, boring, passionate, and in your face. The Missionary’s took the first game 5-4.
In the second game the Doggy Style’s came out flying, but as expected, could not control the play, and blew their load early. The Missionary’s won 4-2, and would have been a blow out if not for the flashy saves of The Terror. One highlight of game 2 was Stevo turning back the clock and scoring an absolute beauty goal. “All the boys went wild, you would think I was Paul Henderson scoring the big goal in 1972” Stevo said on his first goal of the season.
After hockey, the beers were flowing on stage. Cribzie was invited to sit in “The Greek Section” as an honorary Greek. No comment on what his initiation was…
Plans for the X-mas gathering are still in the works, with a possible venue change. So keep an eye on an email for that. Let Rocky know if you can attend. I hear Soupy and his absolute rocket wife, Natalie will be there, who else would you want to hang out with on a Friday night?
All in all, a solid night of hockey, beers, and laughs. The Tomcat spirit is alive and well!
Just a reminder, Sunny will be collecting for the Movember fundraiser again next week for those who were not there last night. The boys have been very generous thus far in donating to this great cause! You can also send and etransfer to jsalaris@yahoo.ca
And yes, he does still have a Yahoo email address from 2001…
And speaking of Sunny, the man showed up, and without being asked, took initiative and organized the Tomcat room. All Tomcats should aspire to be like this man…within the Kapusta and in the real world. He is a gem!!
