The House of Horrors Strikes Again!

Cadavers (5) vs. SLJ

Wednesday 10/24

UMass 10:30pm

0-1 Forfit Loss

It is just not going well for the Zombies at the House of Horror known as UMass. By all accounts that have come in from the hearty souls who braved another stellar UMass start time (on a World Series Game Night no less) the Zombies looked overmatched from the start. By Nelson's "No-Face Shield" axiom... the skating dead had every resemblence to that hitch-hiker checking into the Bates Motel. It wasn't going to be pretty.

Things went from looking bad to getting ugly in about 7 minutes. The SLJ (whatever that means) had scored once and then there was a collision in front of the Cads net. Lizzy was run into hard by a girl on the other team and had to leave the game with a knee injury.

Here is one good synopsis from one of the Cads:

"(The) Story if you haven't heard it yet is pretty nasty. During warm-ups, Nelson did his typical "count the no shields/half-shields" and the ringer expectations were pretty high. Second shift they were out in force and scored. On the (I think) next shift, some girl on their team pretty much ran Lizzy (I'll let others comment on this) and Lizzy REALLY hurt her knee. She was helped off the ice mostly on her own power and leaving the rink with her parents was planning to go to the hospital.

Since there was no game after us, the refs/scorekeeper left and we scrimmaged with the other team. They were (IMO) no fun to play against in that their ringers pretty much decided to "go nuts" and played like the game meant something. Whatever.
Both Nelson and Josh brought radios, so the bench had plenty of Sox coverage (though the scorekeeper showed us up by bringing a TV).
Ugly. Hope Lizzy is doing ok. "

Well... thats it in a nutshell, isn't it? The Blogger thanks Ken, iJosh, Nelson, and Hammitt for contributing game stories.

We'll have to collectively "take down that number" and keep this all in mind the next time SLJ shows up on the schedule.

No word yet here at Corporate HQ about Lizzy's condition or her availablility for next week.

Keep in mind we have a Schlidaveur on Monday night.... same crappy rink... same crappy time.
