48 hrs after one of the weirdest twilight zone games losing 6-1, we played one of this year's better games with a 8-2 beat down of the Orange Bastards. Instead of going with 3 sets of wingers and 2 centers, we decided to go with 3 lines and 3 D.
On the blueline we had Andy, Marc, and Ti-Gas. Upfront we had Hob, Joey, Pierre, Gilles, Ti-Boy, Bob, Karl, PA, and myself. We dominated from the start to finish. We skated hard and kept the lines rolling quickly. We held on to the puck, carried it through the neutral zone and gained the offensive zone with possession. We cycled well and got lots of shots. Their goalie was busy all night. Despite giving up eight, were it not for him, it would have been a hell of a lot worse.
At the other end Ronnie was solid, not giving up anything cheap, and controlled the initial shot. We were much better in our own end. Our 3 D held up, although Andy near the end was sucking more wind than a ShopVac, but he pulled through. Let's say we'll dedicate the win to Jeff's new smile. Hope the choppers aren't too bad.
Now, for this coming Thursday. It's a Call to Arms! We're playing the White Bastards. We have not beat these pricks once this year. Guys, if you're in town make the effort to come play. We can't go a full season without beating these Ass Monkeys! We've only got 2 maybe 3 more shots at 'em.

Lost for words
I feel Shame |
We got down quick 3 goals in the first 5 to 7 minutes and the it got WORSE. None of our 3 lines were clicking....we were getting caught with long bomb passes, we couldn't make a pass or catch a pass. Couldn't carry it through the neutral zone, weren't following up our shots at the net.....Shite all round! It's been a strange year indeed.
We have 10 Games left....that's right, 10 games. Then we head to Summerside. Just how the hell is this season going to end?
Make mine a Double! |

8 Skaters.....
8 Skaters....3 of them were spares....against the White Bastards. It was 2-2 at half time. Then the wheels fell off.
That's all I got to say about that.
That's all I got to say about that.

F$%# !!!!
Ahhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!! |
We had a 2-1 lead with 5 minutes left.....
We 'effing lost 3-2. The game winner came seconds after what should have been a Too Many Men on the Ice call that wasn't called.
That's all I have to say about that!

Last Goal wins!
Little late with the update for Saturday's Game. Gimme a break, it was Super Bowl Weekend!
Congrats Pierre Niles, the lone Giants fan on our team.
Saturday we got out to quick 3-0 lead and it looked like we were going to cruise......but Nooooooo!
Within a few shifts they banged home three to tie it up at 3-3...and the shootout was on. Back and forth it went. It was knotted up a six when we got a power play with just under 4 minutes to go. We controlled the puck and managed to get few shots through but couldn't bang it home. We definitely held the advantage in play, it was just one of those nights. One of the highlights was Ronnie's save at the blue line....Yes!...he made a save at our blue line! Let's just say Ron went for a little skate!
