S U P E R FL Y
Whoa! Is the season underway or what! For those who missed it shame on you for six weeks cuz this weekend's action was INtense. You had a meeting of bitter rivals, what could be maybe the upset of the century, and a team making an early claim for best team in the league. Da Fly had his spies out Friday and Saturday (da Fly sees everything!) and the Fly's Spies gave him full reports. Lets start with Friday's action with the mauling the DirtyDogs gave the (shudder) Mu-mu-mus-tangs. Come on we all saw this coming. Led by Frankie "I shut em down!" Vargo this one wasn't as close as the score indicated as Pittsburgh had wave after wave of line changes and Cranberry had, well, Mike Kohl. Now Cranberrians I don't want to upset you, Da Fly's here to help. But your about to go the way of the Assasins if you don't get some help. Maybe you guys just need a new stra-tee-gery but somethings gotta happen or its gonna be another long year for ya. If anybody has any ideas on how we can help out the Mustangulars let Da Fly know, cuz we're all in this together people. The theme for saturday was a great big wwwahhhhh!!!! Wahh its raining, wah we need more time, wahhh these little kids were playing and we couldn't kick them off, wwahhh!!!! (I bet those kids looked pretty tough). But even though the rain brought the game to an often times painful crawl, the action was still fast and furious. It was a rematch of last years 1st round playoff game and the Rolling Thunder and Epic split, each team picking up a victory. The split surely did little to erase the bad taste in the Thunder's mouth after being ousted by Epic last year, but the come from behind victory in the 2nd game saved themselves from a demoralizing Goonies sweep. "Hey, didn't you used to be a finesse team???" But the big news this weekend is what Joe Casterline and his merry men were able to do to the machine that was s'posed to be the Dark Knights. I can hear the excuses, "You see, what had happened was, uh the rain, uh (shaddup!). I'll tell you what had happened. They were outhustled, and if your name wasn't Matt Martuicc you didn't play any defense. Is this Dark Knight team too worried about stats and glory rather than wins??? Time will tell.
*Sidenote*- A DISgruntled CoalTrain Rollins sits out second game due to contract dispute, there's CoalTrain causin trouble again...
Remember this, Ronnie Mangone is better than you, cooler than you, and in case you forget, he will remind you repeatedly. Kid has one good week and he thinks he God's gift to hockey. Put up those numbers over the course of a season, then you can talk. If this weekend's any indication of how the season's going to be, its gonna be a great year. This weekend shows that each team is capable of beating the other, and their are no guaranteed victories. Even the Mustangicals were just a couple goals away from a victory, so Da Fly advice of the week is don't count anybody out. Except for Ronnie Mangone, you can count him out.
*Game of the Week* It could ugly in here, up in here, when the Goonies face the reelin Dark Knights in a rematch of last years championship game. The trash talk has started already, both teams have something to prove, Goonies need to see if they can bully someone their own size, and the Knights need to show last week's unofficial loss was a fluke. *Honorable Mention
* The now-more-than-confidant DirtyDogs face off against the Rolling Thunder in what promises to be a good game. How long can Vargo's shutout streak last??? ... and The Mustangs play Precision... what should I be excited about that???
