Merry Xmas ya Blue Bastards!

Quite the Game last Wednesday.  First off we received our new Sweaters and Ti-Boy made the call to arms that it was official Beer & Wings Xmas outing so we had a full house.  3 Lines and 6 D!  George made a special appearance and broke in Hob's new sweater for him.
We handed the Blue Bastards a 6-4 beating to send them on their Merry Way!
Upfront we had myself, George, Jeff, Gilles, Ti-Boy, Karl, Guy, JP, & PA.  On the back end we had Brian, Matt, Pierre, Ti-Gars, Andy, and Marc.
We got off to a quick start and found ourselves with a 4-1 lead.  They Blue Bastards were still coming and you could tell they weren't enjoying having their collective asses handed to them.  They popped a couple and we found ourselves in a one goal game at 4-3.  We made it 5-3, they came back again to make it 5-4.  We got another to make it 6-4 then, Rookie JP "faked" a slap shot in the last three minutes to get the penalty shot.  Ronnie would have none of it.
Ronnie was solid, and we clogged things up for the most part in our end.  PA lead the charge with a hat trick and by his own admission could easily have had a few more.  Gilles got us the last one and Matt got things rolling with the first goal of the game.  The other highlight was Wally's visible and audible disgust!  Many a heated cuss words were heard from beneath the mask of our beloved Wally as we put six goals behind him.
Had a great turnout at the bar afterwords. I suspect many of you suffered the next morning of lack of sleep, ring of fire, the trots, and farting razor blades the next day.....or was that just me?

Merry Xmas...or as Brian would have us say..

Happy Holidays!

..........Ok, maybe not!

Hard fought Tie

Another Hockey Disapointment

Tied the Red Bastards 4-4.  It was a hard fought game, although some of us didn't have much fight... (Staff party = hangover).

On the backend we had Brian, Ti-Gars, Pierre, and PA.  Upfront we had Hob, Gilles, Karl, Jeff, JP, and yours truly. 
I think we grabbed the 1-0 lead.  Not sure how it got to 2-2 but they got the next one to make it 3-2 for them.  We battled back to tie it but they went up 4-3 with about 8 to 6 minutes left.  Then to make it interesting we got a penalty. 
After we iced it while killing the penalty, Rob the Red Bastard was handling the puck and farting around.  Karl forechecked and Rob muffed the pass to his D-man.  Karl snapped it up and fed it to Hob who broke for the slot.  Hob let it go quick with a nice hard shot right on the ice and fooled Rob through the five hole.  HA!  Short handed.  Tie game 4-4.  Back and forth for the last few minutes but that was that.  Ron had a solid game and there ya have it.  4-4 Tie ya Red Bastards!

Ron "Shoulders" the Load!

It was an entertaining win last night! Beat the Orange Bastards 6-2!  First we had to hear the story of Ron's dislocated shoulder....and surprisingly it wasn't reaching for the cookie jar or pulling a Griswald and falling off a ladder putting up Xmas lights that did it.  It was lifting his daughters ringette bag out of the van.  Ok, that was a let down, but on the positive side Ron came back with a vengence and posted one of his best games of the year!
On the Blue Line we had myself, Matt, Brian, & PA.  Up front we had JP, Gilles, Guy, Ti-Boy, Karl, and Ken.
Things started off grand as the game started and the first change on the fly, Karl Barter threw his legs over the boards to hit the ice and promptly fell flat on his Ass.  But you can't keep a good man down...or maybe you can.  He pops up only to fall flat on his Ass again!  
HE LEFT ONE SKATE GUARD ON!  BAHAHAHAHAHAH (catch my breath), BHAHAHAHAHA!
We got the first one to make it 1-0.  Then I pulled a classic.  On the point in their end, the puck carems off the boards and I'm thinking, (and there's where the problem started), I'm going to one time it towards the net...no I'm going to stop it...no I'm going to one time....there it goes right between my legs. Nice one McCluskey ya Rockhead!

So, ya like my Five Hole?

No damage done, we got another and then they popped one in to make it 2-1, and that was as close as they came.  Guy had one of those nights!  He got four on the night. Seemed everything he put at the net went in.  I think Chicky-Poo at the other end is sweet on him or something.  Matt found the Five Hole on her on a shot from the point after we won the face off,  and Ken pulled a classic Toe drag at the blue line and he banged it through the Five Hole. She does have a lovely Five Hole.
Special shout goes out to Ti-Boy who played center and was actually spotted backchecking and clogging up the slot on more than one occasion.
The last five minutes we did everything except pull a "Gauvin" and score on our own net.  We bumbled, and stumbeled our way in our own end and Ron kept making the stops.  Brian had a lovely dipsy-doodle on our Blue Line in the final minute, lost the puck, and let Buddy walk in all alone....but Ron would have non of it!  So there ya have it!  At the buzzer it was 6-2 for the good guys, take that ya Orange Bastards!

Long live Rob the Red Bastard. At least for this week.

Finally beat the Blue Bastards in their faggy ass new sweaters.  Big shout out to Rob The Red Bastard for stepping in between the pipes for us at the last minute.  On the blue line we had Brian, Andy, Ti-Gas, and PA.  Upfront we had myslef, Gilles, Guy, Remi, Karl, Ti-Boy, JP, and new spare Ron.

A shutout win! Rob was solid all night and never flinched.  Made some great saves and didn't give up anything cheap.  We struggled at times getting out of our end, but we managed to keep things clogged up for the most part.  We had some good chances and well and their goalie made some good stops.  We got up one to make 1-0 with great shot from Guy in slot right off the post.
We got the second from Ti-Boy who was Johnny on the spot to bang home a rebound to go 2-0.  The third came from Remi. It was a quick paced game and we benefited from having the extra set of wingers. 
When the buzzer went it was 3-0 for the Good Guys.  Take that ya Blue Bastards!

Two for One Update

Two'fer!  Little late updating so it'll be just the bare bones updated.  We'll start with the miserable loss last Thursday to the Blue Bastards.  Flashback to last year, we had them 3-1 and lost 5-4. 

Got back on track on Saturday with a come from behind win. We were leading then they came back and tied it, then went ahead.  We were down 5-4 but rallied to win 7-5.  Take that, ya Orange Bastards!
