Beer Bringers March 20 : Doc to Bring his Case of 24 that he was suppose to bring March 6

Do you recognize the ‘weapon’ that felled the Tomcats former President and marquee player? If we were playing ‘Clue’ you may have found it in on the Kapusta Kow Palace Tuesday night wielded by a VERY unlikely suspect/player……

Funny thing I’ve noticed over the years of covering Tomcats hockey – it often seems that first game back to ‘regular’ play after the ‘Stanley’s Cup’ Tournament has several players missing. I reason it has to do with the players going all out at the tourny and simply needing a week to recover. What this typically means for play after the tournament is you’re likely to get an old fashioned Two team game played with a few spares a side.

This Tuesday was no exception and I think each bench had 3 spares a side. Also funny is how you’ll see players come out of the woodwork and play whom are naturally seen in other positions. Case in point – Skippy visited and actually played out as a defenseman. Rumour has it he reached out to Stevo (Who is still covering for an injured Rocky) looking to play net. On this night the Tomcats already had 2 tenders prepared to go and Management based their decision on attendance; of which Skippy’s has been spotty at best this season. Skippy expressed a desire to still want to come out and of course Stevo agreed. More interesting is upon seeing Skippy dressed to play out Falcon was heard muttering he would have likely taken the night off had the opportunity been known to him….

History will show Skippy has played out on maybe 2 other occasions in his entire Tomcat career; first trying a forward position before realizing defence may be a better fit. More surprising is he actually had a decent night – blocking a few shots and making good passing decisions. Alas it would all come crashing down in the second game…

First; let’s look at those games with the traditional Black verse White. Black had the steller scoring trio of Soupy, Chevy and Sunny – which is likely why they won the first game handily 11-5. I mean watching the game tape it was near cringe worthy to see Sunny and Soupy carve thru defensemen single handily and score. Even better was watching the highlight reel of passing and scoring between Soupy and Chevy.

White, consisting of scoring threats Matador, Snowpants and Slim Jim responded in the second game and with about 9 or so minutes left were up 6-5 – a drastic reversal of play for the team and players. It was like they transformed into a new team, intent on showing that first game was a fluke.

Here’s where that ‘killer stick’ comes in. Skippy was alone near his goalie and Slim Jim made a beautiful pass to a wide open Stevo. Stevo started his highlight reel dekes on poor Terror when out of nowhere Skippy lays out in a defensive desperation attempt to catch Stevo and…….DOWN goes Stevo. That’s right folks – the unassuming Skippy nearly ended the playing career of the most coveted player in Tomcats history. Understandably the entire sellout crowd and all players aside held their collective breaths as poor Stevo was assisted to the bench. In a true leader moment Matador called the game; later stating, ‘When your Captain goes down; is in pain; and has to sit it out – the entire team goes down’.

As Stevo sat on the stage icing a knee and was asked about the incident he replied, ‘Well, I guess I wasn’t meant to go dancing tomorrow’. When asked about Skippy playing out Stevo responded; ‘He’ll play in net next time for sure’. Few other players said anything. I spoke to Crcibzie sitting nearby who said, ‘We all saw it – I think Skippy needed to let Stevo finish that move – He had a breakaway’.

When questioned Skippy was at a loss for words and simply stated, ‘I’m confident I made contact with the ball first – I think Stevo didn’t see me there and wound up falling over my body’. ‘I reacted to the play without thought – and I’m sure Stevo knows it was not intentional at all’. ‘On a side note – did anyone mention I did bring out a 12 pack for the boys?’.

I don’t think players or fans question the act as being intentional or purposeful; I actually saw Skippy hugging it out with Stevo afterwards. The status of either player is currently unknown; but rumour has It Skippy will likely miss the next several weeks with a bruised rib. Stevo’s status is less clear and fans the world over will be counting the days down till next Tuesday to see if he returns. The league so far has remained mum on any sanctions being considered against Skippy as it is understood the play is still being reviewed. My money is on Skippy not returning to play defense anytime soon – no fines will be levied and both players in time will return to play.

While you are thinking, ‘Are you sure Skippy killed the President’; I noticed Yurri HANDZONMECAC.

Beer Bringers For March 13: Terror (24) Scuz (MVP) (12)

By Dick Fitzwell
March 1, 2018.
The Chevy Shockers were crowned the 2018 Stanley’s Cup champions on February 24, 2018 at the Kapusta Cow Palace.
Chevy’s Shockers, who had two father and son combinations playing in this year’s tournament were no match for the rest of the teams vying for the fabled cup. Led by Ned and Tweety Bird, the young guns gave the Shockers all the speed and goal scoring, whilst the wily veterans took care of the rest. Scuz was solid in net. Chevy was presented with both the Stanley’s Cup and the Finner Trophy. He won the Finner award for his outstanding contribution to both the Windsor Tomcats and the community. Congratulations Chevy.

At the after party, which was held at Stevo’s, a new Canadian Production company was spawned. The name of the company is Shocker Productions and it will produce entirely Canadian porn movies.

The initial production is a tastefully done porn movie with a hockey theme. The movie will be called HIGH DICKING. The hockey themed movie will be picked up by Canadian cable companies offering movies on Venus and is sure to be a ball buster.

High Dicking will be shot at the WFCU Centre in Windsor, Ontario and the movie will feature real referees calling real hockey penalties. This is a hit in the making. The movie will also feature Cherry Busters Corner with porn legends Buster Cherry and host Stormy Daniels providing intermission commentary and entertainment.

This is porn with rules. Real hot Canadian babes, real penalties during action. Watch the real refs call real penalties such as:
– High Dicking (of course)
– Dripping
– Butt ending
– Too many men
– Holding
– Hooking
– Slashing
– Illegal head contact
– Cumming in crease
– Shooting after the whistle
– Illegal entry from penalty bench
– Dick contact with goaltender
– Leaving crease during altercation
– Use of electronic devices
– Spearing
– Offside
– Not surrendering dick for measurement
– Charging
– Charging for behind
– Playing with more than one dick
– Playing with a broken dick
– Misconduct
– Gross misconduct
– Fighting
– Boarding
– Improper line changes during stoppages
– Refusing to start play
– Improper substitution
– Instigating
– Third man in

And more. This is what Canada has wanted. Release date will be scheduled the day after pot becomes legal in Canada. Actresses and Actors currently being auditions at college and university campuses nationwide.
The movie will also feature cameo appearances from Tomcat legends, past and present, including the Legend. Tomcat referees Sea Lion and the Bundura will be offering porn reffing at their yearly summer refereeing school.

The director of the movie, Fox Mulder, promises fan interaction like never seen before. Also, a full line of clothing and paraphernalia will be available for purchase. Don’t miss out on this future award winning production.

Fore check, back check, pay check.

TRADE DEADLINE

As in previous years, the Trade Deadline came and went on Monday, Feb 26, teams (like they always do) enquired about The Rake, (He was the only Tomcat anyone called about) but like every year, the Tomcats said, “ He will not be traded for anyone “. “He is a franchise player and there were no franchise player offers made”, stated GM Finner.

While you are sipping from your first Stanley’s Cup do you think I could put my Harry Ballsonue

Just like Christmas comes but once a year, so does The Annual Tomcat Tournament.  Each year, on the last Saturday of February, the Tomcat organization shows up early to the Kapusta Kow for a day full of action, drinking and camaraderie. This year was no exception.

As games are played, the other teams watch the action and enjoy good banter.

Pit Bull stopped by to enjoy the festivities. Drake was supposed to make an appearance but ended up staying in Monaco for another week.

TheTomcats are strictly against toplessness…when it comes to Chico at least.

Four solid teams were chosen back in January by captains El Chopo, LaBamba, Cribzie and Chevy.

The Tournament Captains…El Chopo, La Bamba, Cribzie and Chevy

In the end, it was Chevy’s Shocker that took the tournament with 4 convincing wins.

2018 Stanley’s Cup Champions…Chevy’s Shockers

Tweetie Bird, son of The Eagle, gets his first sweet taste of victory…drinking from Stanley’s Cup is a first time ritual for all Tomcats.

Scuz takes his first drink from Stanley’s Cup

After the championhip game was played, awards were given out.  For his consistent net minding all day long, Scuz was chosen after lengthy deliberation.  It was not easy for the MVP Panel to decide as Big Ned, Stevo’s son, and Stevo himself were considered for the award.  AN speaking of Stevo, this was Stevo’s first Stanley’s Cup victory in 14 years.  It was good to see the former President win the big one again.

Scuz, goalie for Chevy’s Shockers wins the MVP Award.

The Most Gentleman Award was given to the Big Easy.  He played hard all day but displayed sportsmanship in every step…a big guy with a gentleman’s approach!

As well, the rarely awarded Finner Award was given to Chevy for purchasing golf shirts for the Tomcat Golf league.  It is that kind of spirit that makes the Tomcats a great organization.

Chevy is awarded the Finner Award for his generosity to fellow Tomcat golfers.

Razor, the Tomcat goalies of goalies, was in attendance and his retirement celebrated.  The Tomcats were fortunate to have the Razor between the pipes for so many years.

Funny Quote of the Day – Sea Lion, while reffing the games, lost the little ball inside his whistle and need to find another whistle.  Chevy, not missing the opportunity yelled, “Hey Se Lion, you’re supposed to blow into the whistle, not suck on it!”

Special thanks go out to the following Tomcats who made this day possible…remember, while many guys are able to just show up and play, there is a group of guys working feverishly behind the scenes in order for the day to go off without a hitch.  In no particular order…

Hollywood – For coming up with the tournament shirts – great colour combo this year! He also handles the team shirts.

Turk and Zaba – Getting the pizza ordered and delivered on time

The Danish – For bringing Crown Royal for the boys – Actually, having his wife deliver it during the tournament!

The Rake – Brought out sausage and cheese to share

Bundura and Sea Lion – Once again coming out to help ref and time keep/goal judge.  A thankless job as everyone gets all over them for their calls.

Stevo – For stepping up post-retirement to help run the Tomcats with Rocky injured for the season.

Finally, Doc and Kamikaze for being the two key people organizing and running the tournament…they line up the players, find goalies, secure the refs, make sure we have prizes, etc.  They do not get enough credit for their efforts.  Thanks boys!

I imagine some were getting a bit worried and thinking I would not make another tournament prediction; considering last year blew up in my face. Personally I think my prediction lit up the eventual winning team; as I had not factored them into the finals at all. One thing is for certain; this years tourny is likely to feature a whole new batch of ‘rookies’ drinking from the ‘Stanley’s Cup’. Another apparent fact – this tourny will lack the BIG name and Vegas odds goalie favourites of Falcon and The Terror; which is why it took me so long to make a prediction. Another wrinkle was the fantastic drafting of all teams by the tournament Captains; some of who are making their first appearance as Team Tournament Captains. Great drafting and planning aside; only one team will taste the sweetness of calling themselves Champions; and I make the bold prediction the Chevy Red Devils and El Choppo Tunnellers will duke it out in the finals. My bet is on El Choppo as I believe the team simply has the better goalie – or do they? I say this as I suspect Chico will get the nod to don the pads; and if that is the case my money is on him. I have seen Chico in net before and he has the goods to lead a team all the way. Chevy has Skuz; who’s been in between the twine a number of times already this year; but I just think Chico as a true butterfly goalie will be the harder one to beat and by default the goalie to bring it home.

I looked at the schedule and think the scores/winners will be as follows:

El Choppo Vs Cribzie Kings = El Choppo 5-3
La Bamba Vs Chevy = Chevy 6-2
Cribzie Vs La Bamba = TIE (4-4)
Chevy Vs El Choppo = Chevy 4-2
Chevy Vs Cribzie = Chevy 4-1
La Bamba Vs El Choppo = El Choppo 6-2

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME = Chevy Red Devils Vs El Choppo Tunnelers. El Choppo takes it 5-3

So, if this is like previous predictions the Cribzie Kings and La Bamba Gatos Dos Lobos will be making sure to do everything possible to show they are NOT to be discounted; and I likely will be wrong in my predictions once again. For the record I’m just over 65%; at least with respect to predicting the two teams who make it to the finals. At the end of the tourny will anyone even care? I mean cool new shirts, beer, pizza and hanging with a great bunch of guys for a very low cost is one hell of a way to spend a day.

While your thinking ‘Yuri, you don’t know shit about hockey’; I noticed your wife has her HANDZONMECAC.
