The Tomcat Blog returns after a 1 week hiatus. Last week was a quiet one, as the tomcats played 3 on 3, due to a lack of players. Bullwinkle was running things last week and when asked why there was no blog written, his response was, “Je ne parle pas Anglais!
I can only read and write the Italiano, so I no make a de Tomcat Blog. Anche, I was too a busy a running a circles around all these young Fugasi’s on the Kapusta Kow! Capiche?”
A simple, “I didn’t have time” would have sufficed, but ok!

Last night was full of energy, and hard play. A couple incidents to be aware of and try to keep the play clean. The Tomcats put out a call last minute looking for a goaltender, and Tomcat newcomer, Splitter stepped up to play! He did not disappoint, making save after save. The Soupy Algorithm worked wonders, as both games were tied, 6-6 and 2-2, respectively. The “Saints” certainly didn’t live up to their name, as the aptly named “Dirtiest Player in the League” Kamikaze, was up to his old tricks. Word is, Stevo is still feeling the effects of the Kaze’s stick work years into retirement.
Hobbs showed why he got his nickname, as he was Fast and Furious around the floor! A beauty goal and some great playmaking. Shack had a highlight reel desperation behind the back glove save to stop a sure goal. The play on the tomcat floor has been on another level this year. Great passes, unreal goals, and playmaking unseen since the golden era of the early 2000s.
The Tomcats had to go old school for the second game, as the Sparky clock stopped working. The old wooden flip board was brought out, prompting youngin’ Splitter to say, “I’ve never seen a score board like that before!” Sparky will be called in to repair, hopefully for next week.
One of the Saints goals was on a 2 on 1, with Soupy back on D. Shack, in net, was quoted after as saying, “The scorekeeper’s should have marked that goal mid-play, with Soupy as our last night of defence.” It should be noted that during the play, soupy tried his patented spin-o-Rama back hand pass, right on the tape of the opposing team. Soupy said, “1 out of 10 times, it works every time!”
Tomcat legend Hurricane’s goal scoring streak came to temporary end last night, as he did not record a goal. He had to leave early with an apparent upper body injury, causing some tomcats to question if he was just trying to save $5…hoping for a quick recovery.
Looking for a date for the Tomcats Xmas party, prolly 2nd or 3rd weekend in December.
Enjoy Guys.
