Steamers Hockey

In our first comeback win of the season, the Steamers beat the second place Brewers on Monday night. Even after yours truly gave up a goal from outside the blue line. Sort of reminded me of Ron Hextall. In contrast, on the “played well” side of the ice, the captain had five points.

In other news, a few more games have been added to the schedule, so get your tickets now.

In a game whose highlights included two different kinds of beer and Eric deliberately shooting pucks at referees, disaster was averted as the Steamers beat the Beachbums 4-2.

Emergency management officials were alerted after Russ scored his second goal of the night in the second period. Scientists have demonstrated over the past few years that if Russ pulls off a hat trick, the Earth would plunge into the Sun.

I finally got around to processing the pictures from a few weeks ago during the game where I was injured and didn’t play.

The Steamers continued to improve their record, and remain undefeated against the Mounties of the Great White North this season, after posting a 3-2 win last night.

I finally had my first true “old man” injury. This weekend I completely destroyed my back moving a refrigerator out of my house. Luckily for the team, that means I won’t be able to give up five goals like I did last week. But I will be there to sit on the bench, take some pictures, and drink your beer.

In other news, stats for the first few games of the winter season have been updated.

According to our captain, with our tie on Monday we earned ourselves at least 4th place in the division and a spot in the playoffs. Not too bad after having a short bench all season.

Monday night saw us play the Golden Seals, and we ended up skating to a 1-1 tie. A pretty good game all around. The first two periods we spent a lot of time down on their end of the ice, which is always fine by my account. Then, typical of our performance all season, we slowed down a whole lot in the third period and managed to stave off a few different scoring chances.

One more game to go in the regular season. Would be nice to end on a winning note.

A few notes:

• Russ – where the hell are you?
• Eric – no the Taco Bell was not open past 11pm. And you are a douchebag.
