The good guy Stevo has amassed ‘many’ accolades, stories, high-light reel goals, and a Stanley’s Cup as a player; prior to injuries forcing him to retire. This years Tomcat tourney offered a new role – ‘Coach’ Stevo, who after watching endless Tomcat tapes was able to select a tournament team; aptly named Stevo’s Golden Seals.
A tourney first for Coach Stevo; three teams, and the typical Coach’s headache with a player being unavailable (Matador). ‘If’ you read the Tomcat blogs, you would have known due to some unforeseen circumstances, Matador was replaced with Solstice and ‘youth’ was added alongside some wily veterans already selected.
I’m sure the ‘trade’ will be looked at, dissected, and cause many to wonder if the trade itself lead to Coach Stevo hoisting the Stanley’s Cup as a Coach. Speaking of the ‘win’; Coach Stevo now enters the hollowed Tomcat record book as being the first player, and Coach to boast ‘winning’ a tournament. That fact is an ‘accolade’ well deserved and my hats tipped to Stevo’s Golden Seals.
As per usual I continue my streak of NOT correctly picking the winning tournament team. By this point I’m wondering if teams are thinking my annual ‘incorrect’ pick is similar to the ‘Drake’ curse. It seems once I pick a team – they have ‘yet’ to seal the deal; but there’s always ‘next year’….to either get it right; or continue the ‘curse’…
For those wondering I have photo evidence Snowpants did indeed arrive ‘on time’ for the tourney. I also ‘heard’ Matador has already regretted ‘not’ being able to attend; and he’s currently watching via close circuit the ‘after party’ parade and celebration whilst wondering ‘what if’….
A week of rest is likely to follow allowing the Golden Seals to travel the globe with the ‘cup’. While you’re wondering about scores/highlights and other tournament gossip, I noticed your HANDZONMECAC.
