The Ragin' Asian Line Secures Tie

Now, now, before the P.C Police get their panties all in a knot about that, let it be known that the line was given the monicker., "The All Asian Line" by one of it components, one Mr. 1 Wu, prior to me dressing it up a little to make them sound as tough as they played tonight. So I guess it falls under the same pretense of why members of the Afro-American community can refer to themselves as ....uh....well, you get my drift.

The Ice Hawks showed a little spirit tonite, a little spunk, some joie de vivre, ya know, a little hootenanny by coming back from a 2 goal deficit to go up by one. If wasn't for 22 Arsenault's hung over lard ass and his inability to get back in time to stop their third goal, we would have won this contest. We should hang and burn him in effigy next game!!!!

The Opie Gone Bads (see how stupid these so called "clever" names look when you try to pluralized them?) got off to a two goal lead with non-descript little squibblers that banged around in front of the net awhile until they slowly migrated across the goal line. We had a little rust to shake off after a three week lay off. 22 Arsenault started the come back when he weaved around a couple of defense men (not so unlike the weaving around he did on the dance floor the night before) and wristed one in. In the second period, 9 Arakaki , working hard in front of the crease, netted a rebound from 50 Ow's shot to tie the score at 2. The Ragin' Asians were not through. On the next shift, 1 Wu took another pass from 50 Ow and did a sweet roofing job with it to give us the lead though 2 periods. Then......it was 3-3.

We had a chance to go for a last second, season defining, heart-break rendering goal. We lined up in their zone with 6.2 ticks on the clock, while on the power play and with our goalie pulled for the extra skater, we had 44 Young out there locked and loaded, everyone was poised to crash the net hard.......the suspense was mounting, their eyes betrayed them as you could see the fear exuding from them, sweat dripped off their brows and froze instantly on the ice.....we squared off at the left circle, puck raised in the referee's hand, the scorekeeper's finger hovering above the timer.....down goes the puck, the clash of sticks, we get a clean win back to our big gunner's....back but not perfect and we weren't able to get a shot off. Damn!!! But how cool would it have been if we did win? Well it would have been fun to write about it at least.

Notable Notes: 50 Ow had their number as she had the game high in points with the 2 assists she tallied. Way to go Jenny!! (my attempt at a Rogerism). 19 DeMarquez is bound and determine to lead in at least one category this season.....let you all guess which one it will most likely be...(Hint): "Bad Boy Bad Boy, whacha gonna do?..." There should be a fine doled out to 22 Arsenault for losing his pants and not knowing it for three weeks, but alas we are a benevolent bunch. He should probably have 10 Lagemann 's wife pack his bag for him from now on. (See Definitions). 12 Ross wins The V.O.T.M. Award for March (Voyeur of the Month) for trying to sneak a peek at the showering lady. And shame on the Einstein who thought it was a good idea to leave the net off the moorings and wait until it got hairy down there until you started screaming "Net is Off, the Net is OFF!!! That little scheme backfired in a big way. Yeah, I heard that conversation, don't even think of denying that one!! James only managed 1 assist tonite. Jenny keeps her crown!!!

I will miss the next game unless the game time is changed, got to go to church ya know, so I expect someone to take copious notes so I can concoct a ghost summary, unless some one else wants to give it a shot.(GAME 16 IS CANCELLED)

Definition: Royed, v., To have your hockey bag packed with great care and neatness. Everything that can fit into a zip-locked bag should be cleaned, fluffed and folded and place in one that best fits it. This term may never be used with a prefix of "hemmor". It should also be noted that this term is not be confused "Roy", as in "He pulled a 'Roy'". That would mean one put on argyle socks for a hockey game.
