Predictions, Contemplations, and a Monkey? (Harry Palm Press):

Posted by 81rocky on January 30, 2013
Posted in: Uncategorized. 1 Comment

What a night of hockey!! After a some organizational snafus Rocky and Sparky, who were filling in for an absent Stevo (Rumoured to be in the Caribbean scouting new talent for Snowpants escort service), found that enough players had filed into the Kapusta and fans were treated to a mini tournament.  Considering there are just a few scant weeks left till the annual Tomcats Tourny, it provided players with a taste of what was to come.  And if the play on the night was any indication, what a tournament it’s going to be.  Arguably each respective Captain on this night centered their lines on defense, particularly considering there was only one game played which separated teams scores by more than one goal.  Even more striking statistically is that there was a mere 23 total goals scored on the night.

That being said, what I found most amusing, considering the recent Tomcats-Skipjacks game in which some heated exchanges took place, is that I’ve decided tourney’s of any colour simply bring out the competitive drive in all players.  Last night was no exception, and I think it’s the first in history where I recall the ref had to blow a play dead due to rough play in the corners.  When the whistle did blow, everyone looked around and I think missed the inevitable yell of Stevo’s voice saying, “Play the ball!”  Afterwards Rocky was seen sporting a new welt on his shins and he remarked he was contemplating returning to wearing shin guards.  I saw Skippy in the corner grinning as he was overheard muttering, “Guess the Skipjacks are not that bad after all.”

While Rocky may have a new welt, he also has another mini win under his belt as his team mates Soupy, Crazy Joe, Bam Bam (Fred Flintsone), Jingles, Sparky and Skippy lifted the Sparky’s Sparkplugs to a solid 3-0-1 performance on the night.  Cribz, a member of the Hollywood Hookers, consisting of Sunny, Snowpants, Chico, Hollywood, and Razor went 1-2-1, was particularly pleased to see Skippy seemed to have shaken off his recent tourney loss – and with a great effort on the night, claimed one of his first mini wins of the season; further eliminating that monkey off his back.  Afterwards Cribz remarked, “Tournaments are always a tough go, as a team you really got to pull it together, and while I drafted 3rd I think I put together a team which will challenge for Stanley’s Cup this year.” 

Doc’s Demons consisting of Doc, The Matador, Chevy, Yuri, Hurricane, and Falcon ended up with a disappointing 0-2-2 record.  Doc however remained upbeat and stated, “When it counts for the real tourney I think my teammates with the Chevy Sharks will prove to be contenders.”  On paper I have to agree with Doc.  Chevy has arguable put together a near dream team of Tomcats superstars; Beep (Who as I earlier predicted did in fact go 1st pick), Rocky, Sparky, Snowpants, Doc, Chico and Falcon.  A very solid looking team that I predict will be in the final game.  The tougher picks are deciding who will be there with them, but I gotta settle on Cribz Crown Royals or Hollywood Hookers as one of the two remaining teams who will see a chance at a cup; which means I am boldly predicting no repeat for The Mauraders. 

My contemplations consist of not yelling at Pattyn who filled in for me at the Tomcats-Skipjacks game – he missed the star selection!!  For the record it went Biebs, Falcon and Snowpants.  Snowpants was provided a t-shirt for 1st overall selection, which he discovered was a woman’s.  After his initial shock Snowpants stated, “I know I can rock out the leather pants, but I won’t be rockin this thing out – hopefully it’ll fit Mrs Snowpants.”

Last nights stars selected were Sparky, Snowpants and Soupy. 

Further contemplations consist of remarks I overheard from Rocky, who while watching the games was debating the Skipjacks game play which consisted of young players.  Rocky had a quick look at the Tomcats at the mini and figured the median age was probably pushing 36, which lead to thoughts of future plans consisting of recruiting new fresh blood.  “As an organization we have found some great new players like Beep, Chico and Crazy Joe, but we gotta start looking a bit younger; I really don’t know how much longer we’ll have some of the veterans.”  When Sparky overheard Rocky’s remarks he rebutted with, “I’m not ever hanging it up, cause when I do I’m sure I’ll begin to feel my real age.”

Regardless of the median age , the Tomcats have a healthy crop of players who are always eagerly anticipating a good Tuesday tilt; just as I am always looking for that special someone to place their HANDZONMECAC.

The second annual Tilston Challenge Cup has wrapped up, and depending on which side you were rooting for, ended up showcasing some spectacular hockey.  When the pushing, shoving, whacking, and occasional dust up concluded, the Tomcats once again prevailed with solid 10-8, 10-7 games.  The Tomcats are now 4-0 in the tourny and have yet to be pushed to a third required game.  In reviewing both years scores, the Skipjacks have only been able to put up 15 total goals.  Bookies will recall they lost the 2012 tourny 10-9, 10-6. 
 
The return match up this year with the pesky Skipjacks featured a slightly altered lineup of pure youth, including the Biebs, making the first game in particular one of the more contested, and arguably better, of the two tilts.  Just think of the argument of which team would have won had this tourny followed a timed playing event!!
 
Skippy, whom some hockey insiders criticize for trying to be both goalie and coach showed some crafty selections in some of the newer Skipjacks faces which were unleashed on the Tomcats.  While sound in the sense of a plan – pit speed and youth against an arguable ageing Tomcats lineup.  In the end the Skipjacks simply couldn’t match the play of their new found hated rivals.  On several occasions the Tomcats simply outplayed the Skipjacks, even their line changes were well orchestrated catching the Skipjacks off guard.
 
This has always been the meat of the argument with this tourny; the Tomcats have a group of players who are well known to one another, and a look at their lineup speaks to the veterans who have helped shape the great Tomcats nation.  Meanwhile the Skipjacks are still in their infancy, players have come and gone, and consistency in keeping players has been a problem. With the addition of some of the younger players, even the Biebs who made his presence known for some questionable dust ups,  may end up eventually paying dividends and giving poor Skippy the trophy he now most covets – The Tilston Cup. 
 
The Tomcats Turk later summed up playing against the Skipjacks Biebs in his usual no none sense way, “Hey if he were a kid in my high school the kid would have no teeth.” 
 
Props to the Falcon, who the Skipjacks were really hoping to test his endurance with a third game.  Falcon, along with the Rake were later overheard saying, “Yeah it was tiring chasing after guys half our age”.
 
Regardless of the minor dust ups, Skippy in a quiet meeting with Rocky of the Tomcats were already overheard planning the 2014 tourny; and Rocky was very receptive to continuing with the end goal of simply raising some cash on behalf of the Special Olympics.  All players can hold their heads up high as $165 was collected, and the Skipjacks have committed to making the donation an even $200 by their season’s end. 
 
And while Skippy may not have gotten that elusive win he craved, he will none the less take solace in the universal Special Olympics creed, “Let me win, But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.”
Tomcats fans along with bookies and hockey bloggers will be watching to see if the Skipster can find his MVP form again with the rapidly approaching Tomcats Tourny.  But until that time comes, I’m gonna ease my stress and tension via…
 
Pattyn MEGROYN. 
 
NOTE:  Please check “What the Tomcats Know” below in the blog.  If you are on the list of expected players tonight but cannot make it, make sure Sparky, Hollywood or Rocky are aware.  Hockey is better when we know who is playing!

Tomcats take Tilston Cup and retain bragging rights for 2013

In a rematch of the inaugural Tilston Cup between the Tomcats and the Skipjacks, the Tomcats proved youth and speed are no match for experience. The Tomcats take the best 2-of-3 10-8 and 10-7.

The lineups were all set and ready to go after weeks of careful planning and deliberation.

skipjack_lineups

However, star player Beep was called off to Toronto at the last minute for some very serious meetings in his quest to become Canada’s Telecom Titan. As such, the team had to quickly adjust the lineup. It was decided to move Soupy to left wing and rotate Sunny and Snowpants at center, while carrying 3 full pairings of wingers. The defense would run with 5 players.

The first game was a back-and-forth battle with each team trading goals most of the way. The Tomcats looked a little out of sorts at the beginning trying to adjust to the much larger playing surface and extra player. Falcon took some time to adjust to the full NHL size net, but was able to come up huge on several occasions.

Unbeknownst to the Tomcats, the Skipjacks had really improved their star power since last year’s meeting. In fact, someone in the organization apparently has an in with the music industry and was able to convince Justin Bieber to take a break from his 2013 Believe Tour to play for the Skipjacks. Bieber, sporting number 13 and a backwards hat with the rim rolled up, quickly made himself known to the Tomcats. The little fella was involved in several ‘situations’ with various Tomcats for his less then sportsman-like play. Even the very level-headed and all-around great Tomcat, Lovie, had to show exception towards Bieber for his questionable play, which included a slash and cross-check. Bieber was acting quite tough towards Tomcats twice his size…fame and body guards will do that to a man. The referee had to warn both teams to ensure the play did not get out of hand. I must note that the entire Skipjacks team showed class and sportsmanship all night with exception of Bieber and one of his young croanies (also suffering from Napolean Complex).

Snowpants, unfazed by the pop idol’s presence (after all, Beiber can’t even hold Sammy Hagar’s shorts. let alone wear them) was on fire in the first game, accounting for 3 of the Tomcat goals. It appeared no team could gain more than a one goal lead for most of the game. Slappers were flying from all areas of the floor so the goalies had to stay on their toes. Good stops were made on both ends of the floor by Falcon and Skippy (for the Skipjacks). In the end, once play settled down, the Tomcats ability to the move the ball to the open player proved too much and were able to secure the first game 10-8.

Also of note, Cribz Jr was in the Skipjack lineup. The youngster showed speed and quickness all night which made us wonder if Cribz should be asking for a paternity test.

After a short break, the second game began, this time with Tomcat part-timer ‘The Danish’ taking up shop between the pipes for the Skipjacks. Falcon rolled again for the Tomcats as no backup goaltender was dressed for this event. The Tomcats came out fast in this game moving to 3-1 advantage. The Tomcats continued to keep their foot on the gas with some great play making by Sunny and Soupy. The defense played tough in front of the Falcon by blocking shots and keeping loose balls from lingering in front of the net. After stretching the lead to 6-3, the Skipjacks fought back with some quick unanswered goals to make it 6-5.

After a few more nicely set up goals by the Tomcats, Bieber, a true entertainer, decided it was time for his encore. As #13 tried to dig the ball out from behind Falcon’s net, he decided to drive the butt end of his stick into the ribs of Spinner. Spinner immediately took exception and another heated pushing match ensured. The referee wanted to call the game as he was concerned the tensions were getting too great. Sending Bieber backstage to the Greenroom where he could masturbate to a picture of a shirtless Usher, the teams decided to finish the game. Shortly thereafter the Tomcats riffled the final goal into the net to secure a 10-7 victory, and take the best of 3 series 2 games to none. The Tilston Cup Trophy stays with the Tomcats for another year and will be proudly displayed on the mantle at Casa de Snowpants.

Afterwards, a few of the Tomcats enjoyed some fine libations back on the Officer’s Mess, with Zschabba manning the bar. All-in-All it was good night of hockey and $200 dollars was raised for charity.

Black Beauties, Pearly Whites and a Draft by Bloggy Bloggerstein

Posted by 81rocky on January 25, 2013

Tuesday’s mini tourney was derailed by too many injuries(Hollywood’s Liz Frank, whoever the hell she is) and too many no-shows(Jingles thought it was more important to tap the Cornfest Fair Queen than show up for hockey.

Editors note, I just received the word from Stevo that this was acceptable as the girl is hotter than a two-dollar pistol, considers fellatio an art form and also loves anal. Well done Jingles!)

The Black Beauties sported the deadly and handsome as hell combo of Sunny and Beep. Their stellar moves on the floor are only surpassed by their filthy orchestral manoeuvres in the dark with the ladies… Also on the squad were Bill Kazmaier (the Rake), George Clooney (Cribz), Doc Holliday, Hammerhans (Chevy), the Most Coordinated man in the world, May Day (his stick tape actually matched his headband) and Anthony “Eddie and the Cruisers” Bulldog. This team was back stopped by Hurricane, who was game enough to step in and play goal. Hurricane was very good, despite the plethora of shots up around the head area.

The Pearly Whites were led by Gianluigi Falconi between the pipes. Though not his best performance, Mikey pulled it out when it mattered and showed he was ready to face the Skipjacks. Others included team captain Johnny Horsecock (Sparky), Don Rickles (Yuri), the Russian Rocket(Spinner), Brian Johnson (He who is really good at karaoke and panted in snow…um…pants…), Matador “Molson” Moulson, Lovie and GQ Smooth, aka Sammy Salakis.

Things were slightly disorganized initially without the Stevo-Hollywood connection around but Sparkalicious straightened us out with some good old fashioned yelling and the threat that he would “Hollywood” the new clock again…

The first period ended 4-4 after a spirited 30 minutes of wonderfully timed hockey. It was 13-9 after the second and the final was 15-11. There were no stars selected as there was no tourney. Labamba looked around sneakily, found that Stevo nor Hollywood were around and said “fuck it, I’m naming stars anyway. Third star was Spinner, who was unleashing wicked shots all night from a defensive position. There was some talk that some of these may have been slapshots, but taken over by the thought of these clappers counting as Tomcat goals on Sunday kept everyone quiet. Second star was his D partner, Yuri. He blocked more shots than Falcon as Matador claimed during the game and also chipped in offensively. First star of the night was clearly Soupy. Out of 15 white goals he had to score at least 17 of them said Lovie, obviously unaware there would be mathematics involved. “Sammy has softer hands than most of the pedophiles in prison” said Louis with a wink of the eye. He was dangling, toe dragging, nutmegging and snapping shots to every shelf.

After the hockey was done the boys stayed for a pool run by Hollywood. Due to the poor attendance the ante was doubled. Matador was laughing his ass off as he is the only one young enough to stay in touch with the NHL today.

Stevo drafted Jari Kurri and Hann went a step further, opting to select Marcel Pronovost in the third round. Sparky just drafted whomever was picked an average of 5 rounds ahead of where he was selecting. It was weird, but he was adamant that Crosby was available in the 7th round…

Get your rest gents and be ready for the Skipjack game on Sunday or Harry will get his hairy onion on you…Er…balls in you…dang it…

“ONE CONTINUOUS GAME – WTF WAS THAT ALL ABOUT”?

Posted by 81rocky on January 23, 2013

By Dick Fitzwell – Hustler Magazine Sports Editor

CP: Stevo misses one night of hockey and the next thing you know, Sparky thinks he owns the team and changes the usual format of hockey to one continuous game.

“Don’t get me wrong. The hockey was fast and furious but after 25 years in and out of this lineup, I have never seen this format before”, said Mayday after the game.

Hurricane and the Falcon were stellar in net and if you didn’t look closely, Hurricane looked like an older version of Johnny Bower in his prime or a younger version of Turk Broda. The Falcon was lights out most of the night except for the two bank shots that fooled him.

For those wondering where Stevo was last night, he was making arrangements to travel to the Dominican Republic, first class. “I am going on a humanitarian mission next week. I will be handing out autographed Tomcat Jerseys and pictures of myself. Also, Snowpants asked me to do some recruiting for the Escort Service since the government kicked out all the Russian and Ukrainian chicks out of the country. Snowpants has had little success in recruiting university and college chicks”, said Stevo. I asked him why he was flying first class. “Because I can”, replied Stevo.

See Jenna’s exclusive interview with Snowpants and how he rocked Jenna’s world at Mic Mac Park.

See Jenna’s exclusive interview with Snowpants and how he rocked Jenna’s world at Mic Mac Park.

It was nice to see Bulldog back in the lineup.  He spent the holidays running marathons in the North Pole and could not get back to Windsor/Essex County until just before game time because of dog sled delays.

Standouts last night were Beep, Sonny, Chevy, Cribz (ee) and the Rake for black while Soupy and the Matador were stellar for white. The Matador and Soupy were playing give and go all night. However, talk about not coming back.

“Coming back”, chortled Mayday.  “Are you fucking kidding me? Those two guys not only did not cross center to get to their end, I don’t even think they got back past the basketball foul line. I could have sworn I saw the Matador giving Hurricane Water”, added Mayday.

No controversial calls to report but has anybody told Dizzy, there are no slap shots?

I won’t end this article by placing my hands on your cock or putting my hairy balls on you but if you are ever in trouble, don’t call collect. See you next week.

Tomcat Road Trip proposal…need feedback

Posted by 81rocky on January 18, 2013
Posted in: Uncategorized. 3 Comments

Zchabba is trying to organize a weekend road trip to see an NHL game.  Here are the two possibilities.  We need feedback and to gauge interest.  Please consider and provide Zchabba with your thoughts ASAP so the planning can begin. 

The 2 options are…

Option 1

Saturday April 20, 2013 at 8:00pm….Pheonix at Chicago
We would take the train on Saturday at 6:51am from Dearborn and arrive in Chicago at 10:47 am. We would check into a hotel somewhere downtown, start drinking and then go to the game.  Tickets are hard to get for Blackhawks games and at this time they only have Standing Room only for $70 for that game. Or guys could just take a chance on buying tickets from scalpers near the arena. We would be leaving Chicago on Sunday at either 12:50pm or 6:00pm and be back in Dearborn at either 6:46pm or 11:50pm.

Costs : Train $90
             Tickets – unknown
              Hotel – approx $100 per person 

Pros : Chicago is a great party town and train trip could be a lot of fun
Cons : Chicago is expansive on weekends and terrible seats for the game

 

Option 2

Saturday April 27, 2013 at 7:00pm….Nashville at Columbus
We would leave early on Saturday. Bubbles can arrange for a 15 person van so we would only need 1 designated driver. Its only a 4 hour drive. We would check into a hotel. There are plenty of quality tickets available for this game for as little as $25. We would return the next day.

Costs : Van fuel
             Hotel – approx $75 per person
             Tickets – $25-$60

Pros : Short drive and freedom to leave and return at whatever hour we choose.            Columbus is a big time college town with many ladies.  A lot cheaper than Chicago
Cons : We would be watching Nashville vs Columbus

Who’s in and for which option?

A New Goalie, A Draft and A Great Deal of Fun

Yellow Jackets: Razor, Lovie, Soupy, Hurricane, Matador, La Bamba, Cribzie, Sparky and Chico
White Lightning: Falcon, Sunny, Stevo, Spinner, Jingles, Junior, Zabba, May Day and Rake
Black Demons: Crazy Joe, Beep, Chevy, Snow Pants, Killer, Rocky, The Turk and Willie

Very good Hockey, with the Yellow Jackets taking it. The three star selection, as selected by La Bamba: 3) Hurricane 2) Razor 1) The Matador. 

The three teams were selected by a computer assisted program called CANPLAY/KNOWHOW and it seemed pretty fair.

Crazy Joe makes Tomcat Goaltending Debut. First Period was shaky but, then he stepped it up.

Crazy Joe makes Tomcat Goaltending Debut. First Period was shaky but, then he stepped it up.

In 1888, the Governor General of Canada was Lord Stanley of Preston. His children were big hockey fans. Lord Stanley became an enthusiast himself, after attending the Montreal Winter Carnival tournament. He noticed there was no distinction given to the best team in the country, so he purchased a big decorative bowl to use as a trophy. In 1893, the first Stanley Cup was awarded to the Montreal HC. The tradition continues in the National Hockey League today.

In 1991, The Turk brought out to the Tomcat Hockey Tournament Stanley’s Cup.  It has been repaired and added on to, but it was the Turk that set up the prize for the winner of the Tomcat Tournament, a Tournament that is played on the last Saturday in February every year…Thank you Turk!

2013 Tournament Hockey Draft occuirred January 15, Here are the teams:

C; The Marauders (Returning Stanley;s Cup Champs): May Day, Crow, The Eagle, Jingles, Zchabba, Razor, Rake
A;  Chevy Sharks: Chevy, Beep, Rocky, Falcon, Sparky, Snowpants, Doc and Chico
D: Cribzie’s Crown Royals: Sunny, Stevo, Spinner, Junior, Willie, Skippy
B; Hollywood Hookers: Hollywood, Lovie, La Bamba, Matador, The Danish, Crazy Joe and the Hurricane

IF Skippy is giving birth to his baby and cannot play, then Chico moves from the Sharks to the Crown Royals and plays goal.

THE LEGEND

So, a little bit of investigative journalism…I had the pleasure of going to the ‘Legend’s’ house this past week. The Legend and his dog Mika, live on 346 Acres of land that could easily be equated with that of Elvis’s Graceland. I got to sit with the Legend and talk to him about the Tomcat’s, Music, Love and his dog Mika, I plan to air the entire interview later this month on Tomcat T.V.

ALSO…..Tomcats will hold a NHL Hockey Pool Draft on Tuesday January 22…..after hockey, so bring $11 for that….

Finally, Doc wants to invite all the Tomcats to a house warming party (4th annual) Saturday March 2. He will provide you with his address on stage, in the next few weeks. At the party, they (Jodi and Doc) will be asking for donations at the door to go to the local MS Society.

Hey, there were a lot of guys on the stage after hockey, did anyone notice I put my Harry Ballsonue.

Tournament Participants: Chico and Willie get an invite to the mini tournament…as management would like to give them a couple of nights before Feb. 23 and it would be good for the Captains (selecting) to see these two play.

Skinny: Well, we say this every week and just enough guys show up to play…so, once again, we have a Mini Tournament in play…let’s see if everyone shows up.

The Draft for the February 23 tournament goes after Hockey on Tuesday. You want to stick around on stage after and see what team you are on.

ALSO…..Tomcats will hold a NHL Hockey Pool Draft on Tuesday January 22…..after hockey, so bring $11 for that….

First Day Jitters (Harry Palm Press)

Like a first date, I expected the action for the very first game of 2013 Tomcats season to be a slow start. Kind of like the awkward pretend stretch a teen would do in a movie theatre to sneak their arm around a date. Apparently the Black demons lead by the very dangerous trio of Shovey, Spinner and Lovie think a first date means getting to at least third base. For most of the game the Black Demons had the same play; set up one of the big three shooters at the point and let them simply chip away at the Falcon. It worked as they quickly were able to net 5 goals; but since the Tomcats have seemed to adopt timed games of 30 minutes verses the first team to score 7 goals, games have been more spirited in nature. I’ve watched close, and noted more than 1 player now creeps a look at the clock, probably trying to figure if there’s enough time left to mount a counter offensive and maybe just steal the game from the opponent.

The White Knights lead by Sunny, Snowpants and Stevo did make that first game interesting only losing 5-3. Despite the loss, they had the satisfaction of knowing they held the Black Demons to 0 goals over the last 11 timed minutes. That may have just been the spark they needed to win a very close 2-1 second game; of which featured the most hilarious lopsided corner battle seen in quite some time. Skippy – yes Skippy, whom at the very last minute was pulled to play out vs. his more comfortable net minding duties, found himself in a very tight corner fending off Shovey. When the dust settled, Skippy surprisingly had the advantage, of which Shovey would later remark, “Yup, I too was surprised, and it took all my good will not to simply make him part of the wall; call it my New Year’s resolution put to the test – trying to be less Shovey”.

As pointed out by Harry, in an 80 minute confirmed timed game (Remember the clock did go out in the third game), a mere 9 goals total were scored by the Black Demons. That means an average of 1 goal was scored every 8.8 minutes; a testament to Falcon’s goal tending, who despite a 1-2 record on the night played very well.

In terms of quotes, my favorite on the night came from Lovie, who upon the clock malfunctioning remarked, “O crap, what possibly do we do now, what ever did we do in the past to keep track of the score?”. Hilarious, and regarding the clock sources have indicated Sparky has taken his pride and joy back to Santa’s workshop where with the help of a sledge hammer it will be put back into service very quickly.

With the recent change up of the captains for the very popular tournament, only Cribzie missed the first night back and time will tell if that 1 single game will make a difference in whom is selected to his team. 1 prediction I boldly make is Beep going 1st pick overall. Speaking of other tournaments, the annual Tomcats vs. Skipjacks game for charity is fast approaching and Rocky has indicated the roster for the Tomcats is pretty much set. That news was a bit of a surprise to Bubbles, whom I had a chance run in with while on vacation. After filling in Bubbles on hockey news, he remarked he was not aware of the two teams tournament and may be looking to secure himself a spot. I figure it might be because he has already commented he will be missing this year’s tournament, and simply wants to play in a tournament style game format. Regardless, with the New Year I expect other minor tweaks to the Tomcats roster, which may include more net time for the Danish; who has been pressed into service to fill in for an injured Bearcat at the Tomcats tourney. Place your bets now and draw up your own fantasy team, actual picks take place this Tuesday. And while the picks are being made, I will be waiting for a lucky Tomcat to place their HANDZONMECAC.
