Schlitz(4) vs. Double Runners.
Canton 7:10 June 6th
Loss.
Well....that didn't go the way we wanted it to. Anyone who was left standing in the parking lot about an hour after the game was over will get the donkey photo....Suffice it to say, we played like drunk donkeys...even though I'm pretty sure we were all sober at the start of the game.
To be honest I didn't think that as a team we played all that poorly. We had lots of chances and worked thier zone fairly well. The Runners had a bit of a talent upgrade from the last time we played them. They picked up a guy at gametime that scored 4 for them...but there is no way I'm playing the "ringer" card on this one. We got smoked and that is that. Just remember, we will see these guys at least one or two more times in the near future. This will provide plenty of opportunity for payback, and I suggest we focus on that when their number comes up again.
I'm not giving stars for this game, but in an effort to "keep things positive" I will give out some thanks and kudos.
1st. Our number 1 fan, Lizzy's mom. She stayed and watched the whole thing....like a car wreck in slow motion. A true hockey fan (and mom)...we thank her for her support.
2nd. Goal scorers. DWH (Dan with hands) via Nelson and Dave. Jeff Fosdick and "Dangerous" Dave Spenciner, both unassisted. DWH is always a steady contributer. Dave continues his torrid run with a low slapper that slipped right through the keepers feet. Mine was a slapshot from medium high in the zone (d played soft) to the low far corner. Felt good but didn't do much for us.
3rd. Lizzy. I know that it was definitly not your night but you kept your chin up and tried your best to the end and that's all we can ever ask of you. You know how the blogger feels about you...especially when you bring beer. We love ya babe, and we know you'll come back strong the nest time.
4th. The fourth period survivors. Mike Hammit, Dan Gregson, Lizzy and Jeff. We tried hard to take the sting out of that one...good thing the game was early.
Overheard in the parking lot 1:
"...perfect...like...like perfect teardrops on a popsicle stick..."
Overheard in the parking lot 2:
"Do those guys have a tv? ...I think thats a tv."
"Crap we even lost the 4th period."
"No freaking way...those guys played the game AFTER us."
"Oh yeah...the pussies we played are long gone."
"Yeah, them and their ringer...grumblemublegrmble..."
That's all for now, I plan to post quarter season stats later on today. Get your emails to Matt on your preference for next week (Tues or Weds) and start planning for the next Schlidaveur on Friday the 22nd.
The score last night was 11-3.
