Craptacular....

4-2 loss to the Orange Bastards.  We only had 8 Skaters and then Karl showed up late and made it 9.  Myself, PA, and Pierre on D.  John, George, Guy, Gilles, Karl, and spare Bob up front.  
Two of their goals came right off the face off.  The third cam from a bad giveaway.  We scored with about 12 minutes left to make it 3-2 and looked like we might make a run.....but of course not.  They scored with about 5 minutes left and that was it.

Whatever.....

Loss to the Green Bastards 7-5.  That's all I got to say about that.
It's been one month since we last won a God Damn Hockey Game!

Crosby

Ahhh...crap..

Well...we didn't loose.

We only had 7 skaters and no Goalie.  Andy and Marc on D.  Myself, John, Karl, PA, T-Gas upfront.  Rob the Green Bastard played two in a row for us and we borrowed a forward and a D to get us to nine.
We jumped out to a 2-0 lead.  Then they clawed their way back and tied it at 2-2.  We grabbed they lead at 3-2 with about 8 or 9 minutes to go.  Wally the Bastard was solid.  Then with under 3 minutes to go, the Green Bastard playing D for us gets a cross checking penalty.
Of course they scored on the penalty shot.
There ya have it 4-4.

Off to a Rough Start....

Now that's a TURD!

Well, not really in the mood for this.  First a little catch up.  I was told we lost last Saturday 6-2.

Last night was a Turd! It was 3-2 for the Orange Bastards about halfway through.  I missed a breakaway, and Guy continues to be snakebit.  Then the parade to the penalty box started and everything went to SHITE!  There were a few dodgy calls but whatever.  The lines got all messed up.  During about a 10 minute stretch they pumped 3 or 4.  We got the last two goals late to make it somewhat respectable, but it ended 8-4.

It's quickly becoming a matter of Pride Genttlemen.  We've played 10 games and only have 2 wins to show for it.

Second Verse....Same as the first!

Where's that third line?

Mmmmm...Ok..Let's see. What happened the last time we played the White Bastards. Got up early, proceeded to pepper the snot out of Wally, couldn't score, let them hang around, sagged in the second half, and had to battle for a tie. Yup, that about sums it up...copy / paste..only this time we lost.

Dropped one to the White Bastards 4-2. We had 9 skaters, Pierre, Andy, and Marc on the back end with myself, PA, Gilles, Jeff, Guy, and Pierre N. up front.
Pierre N got us on the board first to make it 1-0. Then we spent the next 20
minutes flailing away on Wally but he shut the door. We couldn't get that 2nd one and easily could have been up by two or three. 

We let them hang around and sure enough we started to sag and they popped a couple and we were down 2-1. Ron was solid during this stretch and we managed to tie it as PA banged one in. But right off the face off after our goal, about 20 seconds, they took the lead again 3-2. They got another late and there ya have it 4-2 loss to the White Bastards. Three of their 4 goals were due to horrible give aways in our own end.

Up front we all had decent chances to score but couldn't finish. Pierre G. flubbed on a juicy rebound. Marc, myself and PA had a nice tic tac toe play, but PA rang it off the post then crossbar and out. But special mention goes to rookie Guy who, and what can only be explained as some sort of Brain Spasm, after Wally misplayed a puck behind the net it squirted out to Guy for and open net tap in...but...wait....HE MISSED! What! I have no words to describe it. Congrats Guy! You've been immortalized in the Blog.




NEW FEATURE

I've got another page with the roster. Before every game simply check whether you'll be at the game or not. We'll try and get some Spare's names and numbers up there so you can call if you're not going to make it. I not sure how this form is going to work so give it a try and we'll see what happens.I'm also going to figure out how much we owe for dues. I'll send out and email.

Enough with the Ties!

You No Score tonight!!

Doh!  Another Tie!  Last night we had 3 full lines with 5 D.  You'd think we'd put a stomping on the Green Bastards.  They had 2 full lines with one extra forward.  It was a very quick paced game.  There wasn't much room out there. It was tight checking and you didn't have much time with the puck before someone was on you.  
They jumped out to 1-0 lead on a short handed goal.  Seriously though, that's the second game in a row we give one up on the PP.  We should consider 'Declining' the penalties.  The Refs called at least two or three penalties for each side.  With three lines it really screws things up on the bench.....so Stop it!  Alright!
We gradually took over the play and got the tying goal about mid way through.  We definitely carried the play the rest of the way but we couldn't score!  Ron wasn't overly busy, but he was solid and made the saves when called upon.  Rob the Green Bastard frustrated us all night.  Not often you see a defensive struggle in the Beer Leagues but there ya have it, a 1-1 tie.


Gents, it's time to start brining in your dues ($$).  I'll dig up the league info and I'll email everyone with figures.  I should be right around $300 - $340 again this year.


Pierre I'll email you the info ASAP.


I'll try and find some time to update the Treats and the Trunk this weekend

Blech....a Tie

Doh!

We let one slip away.  W had three lines out for Saturday.  The White Bastards on the other side only had 9 skaters.  We figured it was a matter of time and we'd wear em down.  Unfortunately Wally the Bastard had other ideas.  We got up to a 2-0 lead but it wasn't a comfortable lead.  They got one on a bouncing shot from the point to make it 2-1.  During this time we were getting lots of chances but we just couldn't put one behind Wally.  They tied it and then on a horrendous line change we got caught on a Fucking SHORT Handed goal.  Some power play, eh?
We battled and Gilles was able to tie it up a 3-3.  We pressed for the winner but not dice.  Should have had that one.....Bastards.
