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!
