Huge Win

Now before we get into last nights epic battle, I thought I would answer a question many fans have asked throughout the year. "What do you guys do in the locker room before and after the game? Now, of course, there's always beer. Not everybody drinks before the game but most certainly indulge afterwards. But while everybody is dressing we like to b.s. and give each other compliments like, "Hey Schuey, I heard you gave a great lesson on single cell organisms. Nice work." Or "Hey Lenny, how do you keep the buses so clean this time of year? They sparkle." Or "Hey Kurt, I like the location of the light fixtures you wired and thanks for picking up after yourself." Or "Geez Billy, are you sure you can play tonight? It looks like you really worked hard today." Just small talk along those lines. After the game you hear things such as "It's too bad M. Anderson or Marto couldn't play tonight, we sure could've used them." Or "I'll take one" referring to the beer. Or "Time to go. Beer's gone." I hope that answers the fans questions. Now for last nights game. I said earlier that a wise man once said you are only as good as your last game. Well fans, The Army won an injury filled blood soaked battle 4-3 defeating Baron's. Coach Pauk came to the rink with nothing but positive thinking and vibes that got the boys going but after the he was quoted as saying "We absolutely terrorized their goalie tonight. Way to go boys!" Baron's started the game with flurry after flurry but Army goalie Eric Melland came up with some unbelievable saves to give The Army a chance. "Routine" is all he said. Wade Anderson kept up his torrid pace of goal scoring by firing 2 past Barons goalie. "I was brought here to score and back check, I got one of them right" he said. Scoring the other goals for The Army were Steve Knipe and Todd Schumacher. Shuey's goal would end up being the game winner. He took a back door feed and went bar down (yeah.. that's what we'll call it). Other happenings was Lenny mixing it up when The Army was down and firing up the team and Lance Norman taking a vicious hit on the end wall to make a play. "I think my ribcage is split in two. I can't even drink a beer". Nothing happened on the play so the injury was for not but management took note of his play and will for sure get a new contract. The Army figured to get a little more out of the Palmo brothers as a new pope has now been picked. "I tried to keep my mind on the game but all I could think of is white billowing smoke coming out of the chimney" said Todd. Steve Palmo chimed in with, "I need to hurry up get undressed and get to church." Swenny said his hammy felt fine and that he was just lucky he had McMillan as his defensive partner or things would've been worse. The Army was playing for contracts and all that will be decided in days to come. In other transaction news, McMillan has officially retired, effective immediately. "I love the game, but the game isnt loving me back. I'm just going to show up and drink their beer." was all he said. The Red Army Banquet will be in 3 weeks in Vegas. Invitation Only!

Army wins finale

The Army defeated the Buschwackers last night 4-3. The win propelled the Army to 5-11-2 record. More on the game when Reporter Shawn McMillan finishes his article and all interviews.

Season's DONE

Finally the last game of the season is upon us. Army fans and players can rejoice. The Army takes on their heated rival, The Buschwackers at 7:15 at the Purpur Arena. "Four wins, five wins, who cares, tonight is the last one, thank God," said Lance Norman. Even the Wackers have the same sentiment. Keith Anderson said, "We tried to get Baron to end the year 2 weeks ago. That is when he stopped playing. Even though he is dressed, he hasn't done anything for last couple of games." There really is no drama for tonight's game. As Todd Schumacher has already scored to extend his goal scoring streak to 26 straight years with at least one goal. Wacker Jerry Lundby said. " We are glad Schumacher has scored. If all Schumacher was just planning on playing offense, we would be in trouble." The biggest thing is that Wade Anderson and Chad Swendseid have beer tonight!

Army drubbed

The Army dropped another game last night to Caulfield's 5-2 in Huff-n-Puff action. The Army's record is now 4-11-2 with ONE week left. "Finally the season will be over," said Perry Marto. The Army was good for 2 periods but just wore out in the third. "The long season has put a toll on the Army this year with injuries," said coach Terry Paukert. Paukert continued, "And it doesn't help when Schumacher is the other teams best player!" When asked about his performance, Schumacher said, "the coach is right, but at least the Green Wave won last night."

Only 2 weeks left

Fans, there is only 2 weeks left to watch the Red Army. Tonight they take on Caulfield's at 7:00 at the Eagles Arena. The game will be done by 8:00 and it will give you plenty of time to get home to watch the Green Wave Take on Rochester Lourdes. Free Admission tonight. That is all!
