BEANS !!

Back in the Win Column

Oh, yeah!  Beat the Red Bastards 7-3 last night.  Had a full house with three lines.  Up front we had myself, Ti-Boy, Ti-Ga, Gilles, JP, Pierre, Hob, and special guests Ken & Joey.  On the back end we had Marc, Brian, Andy and Matt.  The Red Bastards had three lines as well, it was a good paced game.  We got out to a 3-1 lead and then sat on it. They popped a couple quick ones to tie it a 3-3 with about 16 minutes to go.  We then scored 3 unanswered goals and Ti-Boy finished it off with a penalty shot in the last minute.  Looking back I see they beat us 9-3 last game....so....
Take that ya Red Bastards!

Four in a Row!

Well, well.  We started off the year with a 4-1-1 record and now have promptly shat the bed in and lost the last four!
Dropped two in a row to the Blue Bastards this one 5-3.  Upfront we had new guy Todd, JP, Karl, PA, Ti-boy and myself.  On the back end we had Ti-Ga, Go20, Brian, and Andy.
Once again we scored first, but then found ourselves down 4-1.  Pretty much the same script as the last game.  They out hustled us and controlled most of the play.  We did a decent job keeping them to the outside and Ronnie was solid.  We just couldn't generate any sustained offense up front.  We had our chances, but once again, we can't seem to find the back of the net.
We made it 4-2 at one point with over 10 minutes to play, but they got another to regain the three goal lead.  JP popped one late to make it 5-3.  We pulled Ronnie but no use.  Down we go again.

Hockey Cock ?

We gotta stop scoring first!  Dropped one to the Blue Bastards 3-1.  A little redemption seeing how they thumped us the last time.
Kijiji Goalie Jerry stepped in for Ronnie.
(Just put a little cream on that Ronnie it'll clear right up)

Hockey Cock, that is.

On the back end we had Pierre, Ti-Ga, Brian and Marc.  Upfront we had Gilles, Ti-Boy, JP, Hob, Karl, PA, and myself.  We got on the board early to make 1-0. As usual they outskated us and beat us to most of the loose pucks.  We played well defensively and Jerry was decent.  Up front we just didn't have any pop.  We had some chances, but as of late, we can't seem to finish.  
We had a couple of power plays, which were dreadful.  Had we at least scored on one of them it might have changed our fate.  
So there ya have it.  That's three losses in a row.  
The highlight of the night was after the game, which is usually the case.  Pierre make a joke about Jerry being allowed to shower or something and his response was, "I'm going home to give the wife the Hockey Cock!"
We think it might be a Halifax thing.  I'm more concerned about the execution of said Hockey Cock. So you get home all sweaty and announce to the Wife, "Lube up Honey, Here come the Hockey Cock!"....or something to that effect.
I think we'll have to get Jerry back to fill us in with more details.

Damn!

Lost a tight one.  Dropped one to the Orange Bastards for the first time in a long time.  Lost 3-2.  We had a 1-0 lead for most of the game.  Then they got a couple to go up 2-1.  We tied it with 3 or 4 minutes to go.  But they got one with a little over a minute to go.  We pulled Ronnie and had a mad scramble at the end but could get the equalizer.
Both Goalies were on their game.  It was a good game.

Beat Down at the CAGE

Ya, it's F***ing in there somewhere.....

Well that was Ugly!  Seven lambs were at the slaughter last night.  A 9-3 beat down at the hands of the Red Bastards.  PA, Matt, Gilles, Karl, Ti-Boy, Hob, and myself.  The Red Bastards threw us a bone and sent "Albert" over to help us out for a grand total of eight.

We started out Ok, Matt got us on the board first with a rush up the right side and ripped one blocker side from the top of the circle.  Back and forth it went.  They got the next couple to make it 2-1 at around half time. At this point Hob and Karl had both missed breakaways which could have changed the tone of the game. But the wheels on the wagon started to wobble, or should I say the legs started to wobble.  We started standing around and they had some jump.  They started popping them in.  We made it 5-2 with a strange bank shot from the corner form Karl.  With about 17 minutes to go, we could have still made a game of it, but no go.  
They banged in a few more and we got the last goal late and that was all she wrote. Ronnie saw lots of rubber, so we owe 'em one.

Ronnie the Wordsmith!

Dougie,

Not sure where to start?

On Thursday we played the Blue Bastards. We jumped out to a 1-0 lead early in the game, then it went down hill from there. We held on to the 1 goal lead for what felt like a long time. I remember standing there after one of my saves, thinking I had just stopped about my twenty fifth shot, sweating like the pig I am, my legs starting to feel like tree stumps. I looked up at the clock, and there was 47 mins left!!!!

At that time, I knew we were in for a long night. We lost 7-3. I don’t think it was ever that close, even when we had the 1-0 lead. The highlight of the night was Karl’s buddy. I believe they said his name was Mike, but I think it was a bad version of Ron Duguay and Barry Melrose. They guy had a real mullet! That was the only good part of his game! In the room prior to the game, he looked like he had an edge to him. But I was wrong, there was no edge. I don’t think his skates had edges either.

On Saturday night, we faired a little better against the Red Bastards. We won the game 4-3. We jumped out to a 3-0 lead within the first 10 mins. At that point, we had decided that we would walk all over them. So we watched them play for the next 40 minutes. And play they did! They tied it up at 3 apiece. This seemed to light a spark under our jock straps as we clawed our way into their zone and PA jammed one past Rob the goalie to seal the victory for the good guys!

Eddie St.Pierre

Back to Back

Late getting this one out.  Beat the Orange Bastards 4-2 with an empty netter.  It was back in time.  We peppered their Goalie and left way too many goals out there.
We were up 3-1 for a good chunk of the game and just let them hang around as we couldn't bury our chance.  They got one late to make it 3-2.  They pulled the goalie and with a mad scramble we managed to put it away with an empty netter.  Was a lot closer than it had to be.
There ya have it, 4-2 for the good guys, take that ya Orange Bastards!

Orange Pumpkins

Little late with this update.  Beat the Orange Bastards, 6-3.  They've improved a bit over last year so it should make it more interesting.
Mmmm let me see if I can remember who was there.  On the blue line we had Pierre, Matt, Brian and Andy (first time out).  Upfront we had myself, PA, Gilles, Hob, Joey, JP and "new guy" Rene.
They may have gotten to within 2 at one point, but it was never really in doubt.
They got one due to one of Ronnie's Classis puck handling "adventures" which always adds a little spice.
Hob got a crazy short handed goal by missing a breakaway, then picking up the puck in the corner, then skate right back out front to score while their two D-Men peeled off and went for a skate after the initial shot.

Seeing RED

ShitWad Aube

Stuck it to the Red Bastards.  Beat 'em down 6-1.  Up front we had Hob, Remi, Gilles, JP, PA, TiBoy, TiGas, and myself.  On the blue line we had Matt, Brian, Marc, and Go20.
I was never really close. We were up 3-0 and they got one to make it 3-1 and that was as close as they got.  We skated them into the ground, yes, you read that right, they only had two lines, and we wore them out.
Of course with a blowout, it got chippy.  Marc and one of there guys got tossed.  They then stood outside they dressing rooms and as TiGas put it best, pulled a ..."You hang up. No. You hang up"

It didn't help that ShitWad Aube was refereeing.
So there ya have it, didn't take long to pick up right where we left off with the Red Bastards.

2013/ 14 Season Kick off

Here we go again, another season begins.  Going to be a little different this year.  We gave up an ice time on Saturday, so we won't be playing every weekend.

We kicked things off with a 4-4 Tie with the Blue Bastards.  On the blue line we had Go20, Ti-Gars, and Matt. Up front we had JP, PA, Gilles, Ti-Boy, Karl, and myself.  We never trailed.  We got up 2-0 only to see them get one back to make it 2-1.  Then tied with a power play goal.  We got up 3-2, and they tied it again.  We got up one again to make it 4-3 but we couldn't hang on. They tied it again, when we had a shitty line change and didn't get back to help out.

The highlight of the night wasn't on the ice.  It was Matt telling us how he delivered his own baby on his new bathroom floor.  Pretty amazing shit.  With the sirens in the background, and talking to the dude on 911, his wife gave birth right there in their newly remodeled bathroom....Ka-Blam!  Everybody is healthy, although we think Matt may be traumatized for years to come. Actually I think some of us may be traumatized from just hearing the retelling of the event!

See ya next year....Suckaaaazzzzz!!!

Sent the Blue Bastards packing for the summer with a 4-2 win.  Didn't look like we were going to get it on.  The Shediac vs. Mathieu Martin playoff game went into double overtime.  But the home team scored in the first minute of double overtime and we all scrambled to get geared up.
On the back end we had Andy, Marc, Matt, and Brian.  Upfront we had PA, Ti-Gars, Ti-Boy, Karl, JP, and myself.  We shipped over Guy and Ken cause they were short handed.
The weasel #19 got in behind our D for a breakaway to go up 1-0.  We tied it and then went ahead 2-1.  They tied it from a shot from the corner that pinballed in front of the net to make it 2-2.  JP got us the go ahead goal and Ti-Gars got one late to seal the deal.  JP was Johnny on the spot and lead us with a pair.  I think it was Matt who got the other one for us roofing a wrister.
So take that ya, Blue Bastards!  4-2 for the good guys, see ya next year...Suckaaaaazzzzzz!

Orange Crush

Orange CRUSHED!

Beat the Orange Bastards....again!  6-3 at the Cage.  Upfront we had myself, Karl, JP, Ti-Gars, PA, and Ti-Boy.  On the blue line we had Marc, Matt, and Brian.
We got the first one and were off to a good start and then got a power play.  That's when I decided to make it interesting by coughing it up at the blue line as DickSmack tipped my pass and was off to the races on a breakaway to tie it 1-1.  Then they promptly went down and scored again short handed to take the lead 2-1.  We needed a little push offensively as the D got us back into it with a great wrister from Matt to tie it and Brian banged home is own rebound at the end of rush.  JP picked up a rebound, Ti-Boy got one in tight, PA got rebound and another screamer off the crossbar and we eventually pulled away.
Ronnie was solid and there ya have it!  Take that ya Orange Bastards!

Gimme Five!

Since I wasn't at the last game, Matt and Ti-Boy give us the lowdown!  Good job Boys!

Matt:
It was interesting.  5 of us showed up. We borrowed 3 players from a team of old farts that were playing before us.  Jim bob was in nets.   The white team scored first, but it didn't count as the ref didn't see it.  Then they scored to go up 1-0.  We then scored to tie it up, and within minutes they went back up 2-1.   Then we tied it up again.  we had the momentum for a while.  In fact, so much momemtum that while we were 2 men shorthanded for almost a full 2 minutes we completely controlled the play in their zone.

With maybe 8 mins left a loose puck came out to PA at the point and he wanted to show off so he rang it off the crossbar and in the net to put us up.

All that was left was to shut them down.

They got one last chance with 5 secs left but Jimbob shut er down.

It was a good victory !!!!


Ti-Boy: In case you guys were wondering we beat the blue bastards 3-2. 5 regulars and 3 spares we picked up from the game before. Jim Bob got the first star and a absolute bullet wrist shot from PA

Gold! Jerry, Gold!

Thanks to Ti-Boy Spielberg!

They Got Us!

Well the Red Bastards finally got us.  They beat us 6-2 at the Cage last night.  The ice was the shits.  It was rutted and the was still wet 5 to 10 minutes into the game.  ON the back end we had Matt, Marc, and PA.  Upfront we had Jeff, Gilles, Karl, Ti-Boy, Hob, and myself. It started out pretty good and it was back and forth.  Ron and Rob were keeping us off the score board and making some saves.  They got on the board first with a fluky goal.  Jeff tied it up right at half time.  We were getting chances but we just couldn't finish.  I put one over the net right in front, Karl missed an open net and a couple other great chances left the score tied a 1-1.  Then in about a 7 to 10 minute span they score 3 goals.  Two were fluky off a skate right on to their stick type of stuff.  They did get on nice goal on a two on one.  Karl plunked home a rebound to make it 4-2 with about 12 minutes to go, but it was short lived as they scored shortly after to put it out of reach and got another late.  
We weren't terribly outplayed, but we were sloppy in our end which cost us. We struggled breaking out and had too many turnovers.
Red Bastards!

On a lighter note....I'm not sure what to call this, but I found it damn entertaining!

Third in a row...

I hate! the Blue Bastards

Son of a bitch!  Lost the third in a row to the 'effing Blue Bastards, 3-2.  On the back end we had Matt, Brian, Go20, and Ti-Gars.  Up front we had Gilles, PA, Karl, Guy, Jeff, Ti-Boy, and myself.  
We got on the board first, but they came back with three straight.  We pulled to within one with about 10 minutes to go.  We had our chances but couldn't find the equalizer.
DAMN! That's three in a row to those dick smacks!  At least we can say we were much more competitive this time around.

On another note Ti-Boy dug up a couple of shots from last years road trip!

Stuck it to em again!

Quite the game Saturday.  Both teams had 3 lines...Ya, when's the last time that both teams had three lines AND on a Saturday.  Another come from behind 3-2 against the Red Bastards.  On the back end we had Brian, Marc, Andy, and Ti-Gars.  Upfront we had Gilles, myself, Ti-Boy (back from IR), Remi, Ken, PA, Guy and special guests up front Matt, and Go20!
Remi got the first one, then they came back to score two to make it 2-1. Ronnie turned in a gem and battled all night.  Although he did pul a "Ronny" as he came out to clear the puck.  It ended up on their stick and he put it over to a wide open player in the circle.  He stopped, looked, and promptly fired it from 15ft toward the wide open net and....TING! Right off the post.  At the other end we peppered Rob the "Red Bastard".  Goals were hard to come by.  It was a good game. Gilles finally tied it for us.  I intercepted a pass behind their net and put it out front to Gilles.  Rob stopped the initial shot but Gilles scooped up the rebound to tie it up.  
PA, who had been snake bit all night, missed a bunch but got the winner by banging home a loose puck on a scramble in front of Rob. They pulled their goalie and it was a wild last two minutes of course but we hung on. So there ya have it, 3-2 for the good guys. Take that, ya Red Bastards!

Same old Orange

Yo! Go20 here!  Word!
Fo' shizzle wit my nizzle

Beat the Orange Bastards 5-3.  On the back end we had Brian, Marc, Matt, and Andy.  Upfront we had myself, JP, Gilles, Guy, PA, Karl, and special guest Go20.  Thats Go20, get it?  Go-vingt....Ya anyway he's coming out with a new rap album under that moniker. 
Can't remember who got all the goals, but we maintained a solid advantage in play.  Ronnie was solid and we never trailed.  They fought back a couple of times down by two to get within one, but no go.  
We had a ton of chances and should have put this one out of reach, but chicky-poo at the other end made some good stops.  
Maybe because it was Valentine's we went a little soft on her.
So there ya have it.  5-3 for the good guys, take that ya Orange Bastards!

Storming Back!

Yeah, Baby!  Took down the Red Bitches 3-2 last night in what must have been a gut wrenching loss for those Turds!  On the blue line we had Marc, Matt, Ti-Gars, and Pierre.  Upfront, JP, Giles, myself, Guy, Karl, and PA.
It was a quick paced game and we came out pretty good and were getting our shots. We skated much better last night. The Red Bitches had a full squad.  They got on the board first, then a few minutes later while we had a power play, they got the second on a bad line change to make it 2-0 with a short handed on.  
Queue the comeback.  We got our first one with a nice give and go with Gilles and JP and JP banged it home to break this ice.  Guy tied it up and finished a nice passing play and snapped one home from the slot to make it 2-2.  It stayed that way for a while, as we traded penalties.  We found ourselves short hand again, but Guy made a play as he carried it in across their blue line with a backchecker all over him.  The D faded over to help and left me wide open in the slot.  Guy slid it out front and I FINALLY put one in behind Rob with a one timer in the slot right along the ice.  There was still about 10 minutes to go.  We kept skating and kept the pressure on.  Ron was solid but we definitely carried the play and had more shots.  They pulled Rob and there was a mad scramble in our end.  The play was called with Marc getting into it in front of our net and was going to get called for the penalty shot, but Red Bitch #10 started "Bitching" and the Ref called him as well.  The pissing and moaning continued and it managed to kill off a good 30 seconds and we hung on for the 3-2 win.  Three unanswered goals to storm back for the win. Take that ya Rd Bitches!

Tougher than it had to be

Me dere, I'm da First Star!

Late post on this one.  We beat he Orange Bastards 4-3, but we made it a lot tougher than it had to be.  Can't remember who was there, but we carried the play for most of the game and we missed a shitload of goals.  I personally hit TWO posts and could easily have had 3 or 4 goals.  JP missed a clear breakaway from center and just about everybody had their chances.  
Ti-Gars was the "Premiere Etoile" with two goals and lead the charge playing center.
There ya have it, 4-3 for the good guys, take that ya Orange Bastards.

Drop second in a row to the Blue Bastards

We dropped a second in a row to the Blue Bastards 4-1.  We got a very late goal to save a bit of pride and not get shutout.
Upfront we had myself, Guy, Ti-Gars, Ken, Hob, and PA.  On the blue line we had Gauvin, Matt, and Brian.
I think Guy summed it up best after a couple of beers. 
"We played like a bunch of Old Ladies and if it had not be for Ron it would have been a lot worse"
You won't get an argument from me.

The Incredible 8

Yes you've all heard about the Magnificent 7, but last night it was the Incredible 8!  We beat the Orange bastards 3-2 at the Frozen Cage!  
On the back end we had Gauvin, Matt, and Brian with his new feet.  Upfront yours truly, Gilles, JP, PA, and Ti-Gars.  
Ronnie got the blood going early by dishing up a lovely clearing shot that banked off the glass, immediately bounced right to one of the Orange Bastards standing  at our blue line.  That's the fastest I've seen 'Ole Ronnie move, as he tried to scramble back to his net from above the circle.  Needless to say, that made it 1-0 for them.  Can't remember who tied it up, but they took a 2-1 lead not long after.  Brian also gave us a jump early as he caught an edge and flipped on his Arse backing into our zone.  A hard spill.  He then repeated the trick later behind our net.  We'll chalk it up to 'new feet'. He may be a little extra sore this morning.
Getting back to the game.  It was 2-1 for them at about mid way.  Up to that point we really hadn't put many shots at chicky-poo at the other end.  We started to pick it up a bit, started shooting more and sniffing around the net.  To be fair to Ronnie, after his initial flub on the first goal, he tightened 'er up the rest of the way.
We tied it on a great play from Ti-Gars and PA.  PA fed it over to Ti-Gars in the neutral zone.  Ti-gars hung onto it across the blue line with a couple of guys hanging off him.  The lone D man faded over to that side and Ti-Gars slid it over to an open PA who popped it top shelf, glove side.  After that we could smell it.  With about ten minutes to go we took momentum an buzzed all around.  Matt rang one off the post with a one timer from the blue line.  I missed an open net that would have finished a nice play, Gilles and PA both missed an open net on rebounds.  We finally got a break as a shot from the point came in and hit PA in the chest and bounced up and over chicky-poos head as we crowded the crease and watched it roll in.  We hung on for the next 3 minutes for the 3-2 win.  Take that, ya Orange Bastards!

Slow Feet

We got beat 5-3 by the Blue Bastards.  Late update so I can't remember the roster or all the details.  I do remember that we just got out hustled.  The got a couple of fluky goals, but none the less we just didn't skate very well.
We did have chances and were still in the game but Wally had a good game and that was that.

Heated 3-1 Win

Woin!  Listen to the Red Bitches!

It was the awaited rematch with the Red 'Bitches'.  Playing short handed for more than a total of 12 to 15 minutes we still beat the Red Bitches 3-1 in heated contest.
On the back end we had Ti-Gars, Brian, Marc, and Matt.  Up front we had myself, Gilles, PA, Hob, Guy, and Ken.  They got on the board first with an early power play goal to make it 1-0.  We tied is shortly after with one from PA.  It stayed that way for a while.  It was obvious the Refs were going to be calling everything. There was lots of hard play on the puck and digging along the boards.  All of it just good intense play.  But the Red Bitches took every opportunity to piss and moan when they came out on the short end of a play. I personally thought the Refs did a good job keeping the game in check. It was a fast paced game at the cage and both goalies played well.  Ronnie was solid and shut the door after the early power play goal.  We did a good job of clearing after the first shot and clogging up the middle.  We kept it up the boards for this most part and didn't get caught for long stretches in our own end.
We got the second from Matt who ripped a laser from the point as he stepped into one that squirted out from in front of the net towards the blue line.  From there is was steady stream of penalties and a lot of yakking.  We had some great chances and could have put this thing out of reach sooner but we couldn't seem to bang one home.  Both lines left a few goals out there.  
After killing off a couple of successive penalties Hob or Guy, not sure, banged in a rebound to make it 3-1 with about 9 minutes to go.  We hung on.  The icing on the cake was Ronnie stopping a penalty shot with 1:30 to go.  HA! 
Take that ya Red Bitches!

3 for 1

Ok, need to do a little catching up.
First off we lost 2-0 to the Red Bastards.  We didn't take it too well.  I'm not going to go over it too much, I think we beat this thing to death already.
Looks like our boy Jeff is going to have to sit for 2 games, and JP is on probation.  Moving on....

We rebounded well the next game and beat the Blue Bastards 5-3 at the Cage.  On the back end we had Ti-Gars, Marc, Pierre, and Brian.  Upfront yours truly, Gilles, Remi, Karl, Guy, Hob, and PA.  We never trailed and had at least a 2 goal cushion most of the night.  Ron was solid and we were lead with two goals from Gilles, PA banged one home and two goals from the guy who used to wear Red Pants.  Yes, you read that right, I have new pants...oh and ya, I scored two goals.  Don't know which is more believable. The pants are more like a girdle to keep my bloated Arse from spilling out all over the place.  Whatever, they ended my scoring drought.  So take that ya Blue Bastards!

Now on to last night.  Sorry boys looks like a screwed up and had the wrong time on the sched.  Allain was between the pipes and Hob, Karl, and Ti-Gars showed up at the right time for the early game.  I showed up early and jumped on about 20 minutes late.  We played 4 on 4 against the Orange Bastards so we didn't bother keeping score.
I'm going to get Roland to send me another copy of the sched and I'll double check it with Calendar and make sure I got it right.

Xmas Hangover

Is Xmas over yet, Dammit!

A little catching up to do.  I was out of town for two games over the holidays so here's a little catch up.  We got this little exchange from Ti-Gas and Pierre.

Ti-Gas:

"Tied 4-4 against the blue bastard8 and I think a 6-4 win over orange"

Pierre's response:

"A little lame as a blog ti-gars..

Against the orange we were loosing 4-0 after 10 mins and came back with 7 unanswered.. Sparked by our new star cardiac forward Matt with 4 goals.

I think we fouught back against wally for a 4 to 4 tie... Tough game, we had a week lineup with 4 spares who scored some greasy goals."

There ya have it!  A win and a tie!
