Ice Hawks Kiss Sister
The Ice Hawks needed a win tonight to help close the gap between us an the Red Leafs but had settled for a 2-2 tie. The consensus is that it is 19 DeMarquez 's fault. If he had scored another goal and completed his Hat Trick we would have won. Damn him!! Damn him all to Hell!!! Okay, that is a little much, how about "to Heck" instead.

19 DeMarquez , inspired by his "Winnie the Pooh" boo-boo band-aid, staked us to a 2-0 lead in the first period by pumping in two goals from short range. If only Richard could have inspired others to play at his frenetic level but alas........we were a docile bunch tonight, EXCEPT for 10 Roy "The Hitman" Lagemann. Word of the wise: Don't piss off Roy!!! After enduring a constant ration of roughing throughout the game without one peep out of the referees' whistle, Roy decided to take matters into his own hands. He laid out one of the perpetrators with a vicious open ice hit. It was beautiful, man. He in turn got leveled by #13, the guy whose feeble attempt to look like he couldn't skate fooled no one except for the referees and the league representatives, and was handed a 10 minute game misconduct for his efforts. Well, that just about locks up the race for most PIM's (what the hell is that "I" for anyways, silly french guys and their oh so silly abbreviations), congrats are in order for Roy!!!

It could be said that it was the officiating, or the lack there of, is to blame for that outburst, but it is now well known that we aren't the league's favorite son after the cyber barrage we laid on Robert Savoie (said in French) last week. Ah screw him anyways, he deserved it. This should inspire us to take on the role of the underdog and make a concerted effort to win this whole damn thing and win some hardware despite who is rooting against us. Let' stick it to them!! Show them a thing or two!! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Nothing's over 'til we say it's over. You caan dewwit!! (Rocky Theme ("Flying High Now") in the background). Inspired yet?

1 Wu wanted some ink for his inability to finish off break aways, so here goes. Michael. you SUCK at one on ones!! Get better at them!! Don't you know we didn't win because of you? How can you SLEEP at night? CHRIST ALMIGHTY!! HELLS BELLS!!

Jenny, Jenny Jenny......what can we say...? That was a very selfless act on your part to serve the oodles of penalty minutes that Roy left in his wake. Way to take one for the team, Jenny, we owe you one....Roy?.....flowers for Jenny?....next game? (Wink-Wink, Nudge-Nudge).

Notable Notes: G Bart was stellar between the pipes tonight and contributed with an assist as his save of a 3 on none break led directly to a goal. Game star and a smiley face for him, great job!!!

19 DeMarquez , what could be said other than, you screwed up!! Two goals just isn't enough. Could you put a little effort into it next game?

12 Ross , inspired by the Oscars Ceremony the night before, did a fine job portraying 25 Pekarek by playing all three forward positions on the same shift. Speaking of Hank.......

Did anybody else notice the deluge of people heading for the box after 12 Ross suggested that the 7 minute penalty should be serve by the "worst forward"? That was comical and I know there is some commentary to be had there, but....nevermind......

1 Wu , I was just kidding......I mean...I really don't want to know if you are having trouble sleeping.

Was anybody as surprised as I was that we didn't have to dress out on the Ice Centre roof tonight?

We have some points to make up, gang. Let's Just Do It. Nuff said.
