Sattora-San Gets Kung Fu-ed
Waking Tuesday morning brought anticipation of the Weevils –vs- Ringers match up that has sustained the hockey spirit of a generation. I, for one; am thankful we get twice a season meetings with them again. And although the faces have changed slightly; the rivalry remain strong. To the ice.
A good start to the game for The Rimmers with much of the action in our end. The big start to game was #71, who apparently has supplanted Greg Weiss as Resident Ringer Goon. Frankly, I’ve always preferred the kinder, gentler nature of Big # 26’s buffoonery. Sattorra-San gets laid out like dat. The take a penalty. But early on The Myze puts us man down and they score an easy open net goal with good positioning on the side of the net and a pass across for a 1-0 lead. We settled down for the most part, but play on the kill for a good portion of the period. We get our chances but The Wall from 50 miles NW of Boston makes quite a show of stopping chances and putting himself in great position to thwart all Weevil opportunities.
In the 2nd, The Ringer score one after a Rimmer splits the D down the middle. 2-0 Rim jobs. The Weevils find their offensive gear, and Pinet pots one on the back door on a superb feed from New Todd to make it 2-1. The Shire has two great breakaway chances but The Ringers Netminder knew what Teno was doing before Teno knew what he was doing. Stopped high on the first one and underneath on the 2nd one, The Shire certainly had a fitful night of sleep after being shut down. He sure can skate fast though.
Into the 3rd the Rimmers jump out to another two goal lead as soon as the puck drops on a softy from the impossible angle that P. Slow would like to have back. Several chances in the offensive zone in the third with bouncing pucks that were snared by their goalie or simply bounced the wrong way. Teno get a great deflection off of a B. Moore shot that gets stopped that hurts. With a 2 man advantage, Myze alertly calls a time out and we draw up a play and put a power play unit out. Sattora wins the draw back to Saskatchejohn who rifles one at the net and in the ensuing mêlée B. Moore buries it. Just like we drew it up. Really. Doesn’t the word mêlée look cool with all that crazy stuff above the e’s? 3-2 Ringers.
We pull P Slow with a minute and Sattorra sends it back to Weber on the point and the slapper is too late as two Ringers bare down on him and they get the empty netter 4-2 to end it.
In summary, their goaltender won it on spectacular play and credit them for that. Overall a nice matchup. We’ll take the next one boys.
That’s real nice. Is this a beer, no check league too?
Overall great game. I thought both sides played well, and their goalie stood on his head. I think we win that game if he hadn’t been on point.
congrats to #71 for cheapshot of the year award. nice job you dickless fuck. just remember what goes around comes around you fucking douche bag.
(My original post was lost in the server switch….so here’s my best recreation from memory…I couldn’t let a potential Pulitzer Prize get away!!)
Tell us how you REALLY feel B Moore!!
Offensively we did a good job creating opportunities for ourselves, we just didn’t get any breaks on the bounces. I think once again we owe Pee Slow a big thanks for keeping us in it….and we owe Eric Pederson a big FU for keeping us out!!
Overall, I think we’re beating ourselves with the senseless penalties….seriously. We can’t follow-up one dumb penalty with three more. I think Neil has since owned up to being the main culprit this last game and has since imposed a 1 game suspension on himself. Although I applaud his efforts and his decision to punish himself, I don’t know if that is the answer to our problems as a team. We all tend to let a potentially bad call turn into a future penalty by goading the refs into it….we’ve ALL been guilty of THAT. Our team motto should be “Toss me once, shame on you…toss me twice, shame on me.” We have to let that stuff go and play the rest of the game…especially considering the targets already on our collective backs!! We’re giving far too much away by carrying grudges into subsequent periods!! The more we continue to take excessive penalties, the more we’ll be OUT of the win column. To quote Sattora’s biggest Hero (”His name……is Dalton.”):
“All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the rink unless it’s absolutely necessary. And three, be nice. If somebody gets in your face and calls you a cocksucker, I want you to be nice. Ask him to skate. Be nice. If he won’t skate, skate him. But be nice. If you can’t skate him, one of the others will help you, and you’ll both be nice. I want you to remember that it’s a job. It’s nothing personal. I want you to be nice until it’s time to not be nice.” And we’ll let Neil know when that is!!
Big props go to Weber on another awesome write-up…I still haven’t figured out where he’s stealing his ideas from!! Also, a shout-out to Julie, Floh and the Pinna gang for the fan support. I even made good on the promise of game-time beer, yet none of them indulged but instead left it for the team to drown their collective sorrows in post-game…..truer fans I have not met!! An ultra-props go out Poppa Sattora for flying in special just to watch the fruit of his loins lose his fruit-of-the-looms in a vicious open-ice hit by the Ringer’s version of Neanderthal Man (I’m still not sure how he kept all the hair from his knuckles inside his gloves….or were those even gloves???). Don’t wory Sattora…next time we’ll be bringing some raw meat and shiny objects to distract him while he’s on the ice (”Mongo like food!!”).
Let’s pull it together boys and make the necessary adjustments. I’m looking forward to moving up in the standings and crushing those short-busers in the next go around!!
I think the best part is… You know all the Ringers are coming here for their hockey fix! Hey Greg, you want to play for a real team, that updates their site? We are going to send Universal back to get some of your good players… how about that goalie? I know he wants to be a Weevil.
Cow, one of your best posts. Love me some Roadhouse.

Next to Neil in Penalty minutes. No big surprise there. I think they are almost tied in 07′.
