The Weevils came out on Tuesday night bundled up for winter hockeys. Right off the bat you could tell it was going to be a good night from the smell of the tepid urine that filled the locker room. Pee Slow was back. Saskatchejohn, had been sitting in the locker room since 7pm and we were facing the Blues Peanut Gallery.

From the first drop of the puck we were to learn about the “New FAHL” and the complete lack of allowable hockeys by the striped crew. This was nothing like last week where were able to actually skate, shoot, play D and pass. Tonight was to be more of a public skate in full gear, with not touching allowed. A continuous stream of bugs trudged to the confines of the box throughout the night and the Blues capitalized early with a tally to make it 0-1. Nonetheless, the Weevs didn’t quit. We came right back when Zarby the Greek made his presence known (shorthanded no less) with a great follow on his own rebound after being sprung straight up the middle on a Weber pass to tie it 1-1. The D stayed home much of the first and smothered rush after rush by Peanut and 33. They put another one in and make it 2-1 to end the first. Good skating and puck movement. We did take 10 minutes in penalties in the 1^st for a total of ½ the period shorthanded. Not bad to be down by 1 with that level of mandownmanship.

In the 2^nd, Todd ties it up with good passing and positioning, but speedy and profoundly unbalanced #33 gets one to move the Blues a head 3-2. It’s a see-saw battle. The Weevils settle down this period and don’t take many penalties. Because we like to save them for the 3^rd to make it more exciting. Teno comes back and after a Sattora shot, heads directly to the keeper, takes the rebound and stuffs it 5 hole on his second thrust. I love when Teno makes a 2^nd thrust; he’s usually only good for one. 3-3. The tireless Blues come back and make it 4-3 them to end the 2^nd. We are within striking distance. And we like to strike in the 3^rd.

The 2^nd period was boring with all of that back and forth skating and scoring so we go back to period one strategy of penalty taking. Thankfully the Blues follow that route as well and on a PP Neil creeps in from the point and blasts the rock at Weber’s ass just in front of the net (pictures of welt to follow under separate cover) to tie it 4-4. Todd Returns to the feeder for a second helping of goal scorers pie to put us in the lead for the first time in the game with under 10 minutes left to play. And then Sattora San with a sweet slo-mo pass/shot tunnels under their goalie for a 2 goal lead. The entire Weevil bench empties and relocates in the penalty box for the last two minutes of the game. I think Cow was sitting on Satorra-Sans shoulders and Neil was showing them all the intricate cave man carvings he’s made in the box over the years. The score one with a minute left to make it 6-5 but our D minded killa’s do a great job getting the puck out and Pee Slow does some break dancing in the crease to seal the deal 6-5.

Great D work in our own zone tonight finding the forwards and great poke checking to thwart several rushes throughout the night.

Let’s turn this into a streak.
