ICE HAWKS ROUND UP OUTLAWS
Icehawks Round Up Outlaws.... and hung a 3-1 defeat on them. "Hang down your hat, Tom Dooley..." The 2 goal decision over the Outlaws is the largest margin of victory we have had with them, ....for those of you who find that kind of minutia enlightening. Mr. 73 Stebbins, who is becoming quite the scorer the past few games, netted a rebound for our first goal while 22 Arsenault was sprawled out inspecting the ice in the crease. The ice, by the way, had no visible cracks or any unnatural deviations from a normal playing surface from what Steve could see. 44 Young got the game winner from a face off in their zone. 44 Young showed some restraint by foregoing his intimidating slapper and went with the wrist shot to beat the goalie low stick side. I guess he actually wanted to get his shot on net. In the second period the Outlaws got one back to tighten the match but thanks to our favorite ice pirate, Joe "Arrrgh, where's my eye patch, Matey?" 26 Balboa who snuck one past their goalie on a one on one breakaway, we once again had a "comfortable" 2 goal lead.

Some notables notes for the game. 9 Arakaki's hands on lesson in Kinetics. Did you see the writing on the wall you hit in the second period? Ouch!! 1 Wu got 6 minutes in the bad boy box, but you still aren't a bad boy yet when you get corralled for such grievous acts as being mathematically challenge (Too Many Men On The Ice) and pretending to be a rock hound looking for fossils (Whatever they called when you picked up the puck, examined it then put it back down). 12 Ross's point streak ending at 1 game. Phil's abusing women on ice streak ends at 1 game (there were none on their team). Bart's GAA dropping like (insert simile here). Gary honoring former Icehawk great, Craig Pekarek by doing a faux demi-Pekarek during the game while Craig was watching him. (It is more than likely Craig was watching to make sure Mike L. didn't break any of the sticks he so selflessly lent him for the game) For those uninitiated to the term "Pekarek", the definitions are as follows: A Grand Pekarek is when a player takes the puck into the zone and completely circumnavigates the net (no that is not a Jewish ritual) counterclockwise and ends up at the opposite point. The head must be down at all times and no attempts to pass can occur. A demi-Pekarek is when after circumnavigating the net you lose it on your way to the point. A quarter-Pekarek is when you lose the puck when behind the net. A "faux" Pekarek can occur anytime you deviate from the true definition of the term and actually pass the puck or look up.

Editors Note: This definition and all future definitions that refer to players past and present are not meant to be mean spirited or denigrating. We all have our quirks on the ice and taking the liberty to exploit them are all in jest. Some people are just more fun to jest than others.....

As usual, we all looked to James to distribute the puck and we weren't disappointed as he registered 3 assists to lead all scorers....AGAIN!!
