Yes we lost, but the beer was still cold!

The Army winning streak is over. The Army was drubbed 10-6 by BBI. The Army got down 4-0 early in the second and fought back to 4-2 after 2. Then the real Army showed. Within a 6 minutes span, the Army was down 10-2. 4 goals in the last 3 minutes for the Army was as close as they could get. "We had a good second period and got the game close," said coach Terry Paukert. Paukert continued, "We are not good!" The only bright spot for the Army was the play of Bill Knipe. Knipe scored his first 2 goals of the season. The second one almost made SC top ten. "That was the old Bill, he dominated in the 3rd," said a proud brother Steve. Only 3 weeks remain for this storied franchise. The Red Army is calling out to all former players to come and Play on March 18. Please let myself or Todd Palmiscno know. Tim Lykken, Mark Lykken, Chad Hanson, Landis Stoltman, Please forward to any other former Army players!

4 weeks to go

Game time is still 8:15 at the GF Blue Line Club Arena against BBI. The Army is on a roll. With an actual win and a fake win. "To be on a winning streak this late in the season is awesome," said injured cupcake Perry Marto. " I can't believe that Marto is putting these wins in his record. He hasn't contributed at all this year. Norman has been a better teammate this year," said Shawn McMillan. The Army has 4 weeks to go in their glorious career. So get your tickets early. Call 1-800-REDARMY for a four game pack. One lucky fan will win an all access pass to the Army locker room. Of course it is after the game, so don't eat before you go in!

Bad scheduling = win!

A scheduling snafu by Baron gave the Red Army its second win of the season. Baron changed the schedule and failed to let the Army know 48 hours before the game. According to league rules the Army wins and gets to record the stats. So the Army won 7-0. Steve Knipe was player of the game with 1 goal and 3 assist. Chad Swendseid had 2 goals and 2 assist. Bill Knipe, Kurt Comeau, Steve Palmiscno and Matt "Don Ho" Palmiscno all chipped in with a goal apiece. Unfortunately Todd Schumacher couldn't break his no-goal streak of almost two years in this forfeit win. "What can I say, Schumacher isn't that good," said Coach Terry Paukert. Bill Knipe was named second star of the game with his ability to order appetizers without his glasses on.

How the Army won

The streak is over. After 11 months of losing the Red Army finally won a game, 4-3 over Caulfield's. "I think we found a goalie that understands us and how we play. He finally made the first for save before we clear the puck," said Steve Palmiscno. Goaltender Talon Egeland did what he was coached to do. "I have been working with him for the last 3 weeks. I have brought him to every buffet to get his mind ready," said Steve Olson. "If Perry Marto and Matt Palmiscno are dressed tonight, we don't win," said Coach Terry Paukert. Paukert continued, "Those two may be the biggest cupcakes in the league. I'm not sure if they will get back into the lineup."

The Streak is over

d Army wins 4-3. First time since last March 5. Kurt Comeau with 2 goals. Shawn McMillan and Steve Knipe with the other. Big assists from Todd Palmiscno and Todd Schumacher. More to come in the morning addition. Biggest Reason for win, NO PERRY MARTO!

8:15 game this week!

The Red Army takes on Caulfields Wednesday night at 8:15 at the Grand Forks Blue Line Arena. The win-less Army is looking for their first victory in 11 months. With the late start this week, it doesn't look good. The Red Army was once a storied franchise in the Huff-n-Puff League. But age and a few pounds have caught up to them. Coach Terry Paukert said, "I retired at the right time, I got out when I was still in my prime. These jokers should have retired before me!" All Bill Knipe could say is, "He is probably right and where are we going after the game?" Lance Norman stated, "I haven't reached my prime. I need at least 10 more years." Shawn McMillan was going to say something, but puked after Norman's comment. Plenty of tickets remain for this mammoth tilt. Call 1-800-REDARMY for yours. Every seat is still available.
