The Strawbs
started the season very strong. On one short benched occasion a loss was given
up to an eager squad. I don't recall their name, and it's not important. The
record currently sits at 7 and 1 with the Strawbs securely sitting in second
place.
The new players, Mountain Man Neil and Marky Marcus, have stepped up in the scoring department
taking leads from Magboy and Slickery. Mountain Man, fueled by venison,
moose, bear, and college drive road kill of any condition, often bulls his way
up the ice and through his opponents. Marky Marcus, the team's
on ice etiquette enforcer, highest paid Northern Ontario Pee-wee league referee
and closest character stand in for Philly Cheese skates, has been a top scoring
contributor when not socializing with his zebra brethren. The Mayor
has also been a scoring role model declaring that he is only shooting for the
elusive crossbar / post ping combo on any shot. So far he has
missed 5 empty net goals. The Thug continues on
Thugging. His new extendable stick boom has allowed him to take down
escaping opponents from up to 10 feet away. When Sarge is not
protecting the defensive zone (D. Duty), he is up front with his white camo
jersey carpet bombing the opponents net with tips and redirects. (Lots of
warning shots) Maybe the firing range is necessary along with a
sight alignment. Keep firing!
The team elders
continue to redefine their defensive style by any means necessary. Somehow it's
working. Gawd has recently been voted the most patient breakaway
goal scorer in Strawbs history. The Vice's offense positioning is so
honed that he doesn't have to skate anymore. Soon he will be fork lifted into
his preferred position and remain their for the duration of the game. Tests have
yielded decent goals for and against averages. The Vice's assists have
been slightly affected.
Shinny Sean has
made new adjustments as well. We are not sure what they are, but as long as
he is skating the Vice doesn't need to move.
So the final Fall
season match is to take place Dec. 3rd against the league's number one placed
team, the Mongeese. The Mongeese-es are another Canadore league franchise
that have been making a name for themselve over the years.
Of course they
don't have a blog, facebook page, training compound in Hawaii, farm team, nano
brewery, clothing line, alumni organization, board of executives and any
pictures of them wearing their jersey with a backdrop of the Great Pyramids of
Giza.
