When was the last time we’ve seen a full bench with 8 players a ‘piece’, considering rumour has it other ‘lesser’ clubs cancelled games due to the winter blast.
Tomcats however are a different breed. Upon arrival players were quick to shovel the steps and even created a partial pathway into the players lot. The goalies were ‘very’ thankful.
Speaking of goalies – looks like Management reached into the ‘spare’ available net minders and convinced the ‘Shack’ to suit up. The ‘algorithm’ didn’t disappoint with the 1st game ending in a tie, that 2nd game however saw the newcomer ‘Stilts’ finding his groove and ‘lighting’ up poor ‘Sunflower’.
‘Yup’ – didn’t take too long to name the ‘big’ (Like as in the ‘Sitka’ tree = tallest tree in Canada – look it up); but the initial ‘keep’ the ‘S’ thing going was challenging for a bit (Names bantered around initially included ‘Skyfall’, ‘Skyscraper’, ‘Sasquatch’, ‘Shrew’ (Apparently the ‘smallest’ animal….), ‘Squid’) – that is until ‘Snowpants’ came up with ‘Stilts’.
It ‘fits’, one ‘S’ player naming another – and continuing the ‘S’ steak.
Speaking of ‘streaks’ during an in game interview ‘Stilts’ mentioned he was a ‘Greek’ by marriage – cementing his status with Soupy and the ‘Greek’ gang.
Inside players may have brought the wet, but a quick glance showed many arrived in ‘boots’, and quickly changed to playing gear. I did overhear a defensive player wonder aloud if wearing their boots would ‘increase’ shots blocked. Future Tomcat hall of famed for sure, gives up mobility to block shots…
16 guys and 2 goalies ‘definitely’ chipped away at the ‘conspiracy’ article a few weeks back about ‘excessive’ ‘beverage’ stocks….
‘Stilts’ and the Matador really made a great dynamic duo challenging scouting reports Soupy and Chevy are ‘top’ scoring Tomcat pairing threats.
The Shack’s ‘Shivers’ (Sean, Rocky, Shaft, Professor, Hobbs, Matador, Sunny and Skippy) have bragging rights this ‘chilly’ Tuesday night and after a hard fought tie with the Flowers ‘Flurries’ (Snowpants, Killer, Bullwinkle, Animal, Soupy, Swayze and Swifty) just let ‘Stilts’ take his deadly shots to give the newcomer his first ‘win’.
Still no word that I’m aware of about the upcoming year end tourney Captains, but keeping with the ‘S’ thing I think a Captain couldn’t go wrong with Stilts, Soupy, Snowpants, Swayze, Sunny, Schooley and ‘Sun’ Flower in net….
While you’re wondering where you’ll end up in the draft, I noticed your Handzonmecac.
