5-1 loss

The Red Army struggled again last night in a 5-1 loss to Kelly's. The only bright spot was goaltender Talon Egeland. He made numerous big save to keep the game close through 2 periods. The other bright spot is that Todd Palmiscno and Todd Schumacher were not on the ice for any goals against. "This is our shut-down pair," said coach Terry Paukert. "Those two are still 2 of the toughest guys in the league." The biggest thing this pair did was control high flying Kelly's forward Erik Knutson. Knutson said, "those two were all over me. I couldn't get my speed game going. I did get a couple heavy shots, but their goalie was good." Oh by the way Wade Anderson scored for the Army.

Yeah, we got a lot of losses

The win-less Red Army faces off against Kelly's tonight at 7:00 at the Gambucci Arena. The Army had a shot at getting its first win last week against BBI. The Army was up 2-0 before falling 5-3. Coach Paukert said, "We just couldn't shut them down late in the game. We really missed Schumacher. He is OUR shut down defenseman!" Bill Kinpe quipped, "The only thing Schumacher could shut down is a buffet!" Plenty of tickets remain for tonight's game. Call 1-800-REDARMY for yours.

Can the Army pull out a victory

The Red Army takes on BBI tonight at 7:15 at the Judd Arena in the ICON hockey building. This reporter thinks that the Army has about as much chance of winning that the temperature today will get to 75. "We are old, slow, and OLD; not a good combination," said Todd Palmsicno. The game has PLENTY of tickets left. Buy one get 10 free is the promotion tonight. Hope to see you there!

Army resumes, results are the same!

The Red Army returned to action last night against Acme. A "big" surprise is the Army got beat 6-1. The Army did take the lead early in the first when Kurt Comeau put a shot where grandma keeps the cookies. That was the only highlight the Army had all night. "At least the beer was cold after the game," said Shawn McMillan. Coach Paukert had a close door meeting after the game. Rumor has it that his outburst of four letter words was worse than Mike Yeo of the Wild. "We had to have a little attitude adjustment. We will play better next time," said a disappointed Paukert. The Army will try to pick up there first win next week against BBI. Game time is at 7:15 at the ICON sports center. "At least we get to play in a nice rink," said Lance Norman.
