That's two in a row, Kids! Beat the Green Bastards 3-2 in a come from behind win. We had Andy, Marc, Ti-Gas, & Pierre on D with myself, George, Karl, PA, T-Boy, Ken, Pat, and John up front.
Got behind early 1-0 on a bad rebound. Then we tied it up short handed. Yours truly jumped up to intercept a pass at their blue line took a couple of strides and popped it low stick side on Rob "The Bastard". Fell behind again 2-1. Another odd goal. They centered it off a scramble an it went off Alain's back and in.
We settled in for a while going back and forth. Alain was solid and didn't give up anything the rest of the way, stopping a couple of breakaways along the way. We tied it up on the powre play just before the half with a beauty passing play with PA finishing and puttin' it behind Rob.
Mid way throug the 2nd half Karl, John, & myself grabbed a loose puck in the neutral zone...up to Johnny who crossed the blue line with their D backing in, dropped it to me in the slot and I let 'er rip stick side, TOP SHELF WHERE MOMMY KEEPS THE PEANUT BUTTER, BABY!
(this is not a misprint..I scored two..do not adjust your screen)
The second half was a chippy affair with penalties on both sides. A couple of misconducts for the Green Bastards, and we held on during a wild final two minutes for the 3-2 win. Take that ya Green Bastards!
Part II

Jack & Charlie Picture Day
First win of the year. After the incredible Stink Fest we had 2 days prior it was time to get our collective Shit together. We had 10 skaters, with myself, Marc, Pierre, & Ti-Gas on D with Karl, George, Pat, Ti-Boy, Hob, & Claude up front.
We said we just had to keep it simple, up the boards in our own end, and shoot and drive the net at the other.....SIMPLE. It's exactly what we did. We came out and the boys were shooting right away and we started banging away at the rebounds and loose pucks in their end. We worked the puck down low and got to the front of the net to bang away. It set the tone right off the bat.
We jumped out to 2-0 lead, and then it was 3 then it was 4-0. Couple of power plays sprinkled in there for both teams, but that was a pretty grim display by both sides. We had 'em in a hole and it sucked the life out of them, they stopped skating. They got one to make it 4-1, but Alain was solid and we kept it up the boards in our own end.
We made in 5-1 and the rout was on. It ended 8-2. The only thing we lost all night was the face-offs....we stank it up in that department. Take that ya Black Bastards!
Before we begin the report on last night's game, let me bring you up to speed. Last Saturday we lost 3-2 to the Green Bastards on the Olympic Ice. Needless to say the 8 skaters who showed up gave the rest of us the 'Ole Stink Eye for having not been there!
Seems the Green Bastards got a couple of penalties called in the last 3 min but wouldn't confirm with the Ref that it was a Penalty shot......Pricks!
Now on to last nights utter Debacle:
Things started off little rough and we fell behind 3-1. But we scrapped our way back to tie it 3-3 at the half. We changed ends, even as Wally was putting up a stink. It all went to Shit after that!
They jumped out to a 5-3 lead but at that point we were still in it with about 17 mins to go....then the wheels fell off and we collective Shat the Bed! We stopped shooting, weren't driving the net and were continuously beaten to every loose puck.
Add to that some sloppy play in our own end and some brutal line changes and they scored on a knuckle baller and.... Stick a fork in us we're done! They scored two more, one off of Pierre's knee pad and the last was a centering shot that hit off their player and in.
There ya have it....Final 8-3 and an 0-3 start to the year. Our goalie is already thinking of bailing.....(did we get his commitment in writing?)
Not much to report. 5-4 loss to the Black Bastards to kick off 2010. Yours truly has to miss the first two games 'cause Da Wife is out of town.
