9/12/02: Hey now, what just happened? A shutout? Holy shit. Sean McCormick welcomed himself quite nicely to the team with a couple goals and Frank McAnally made 3 saves on the way to posting his first donut of the season. It was actually quite boring for one of our games, but we'll take it.
9/19/02: We came into this game shorthanded with Joe Brinn getting an early start on a drunken stupor weekend (they're all stupors, some just better than others) and Sean McCormick...well, we don't know where the hell Sean was. At any rate, we got out to a big, early lead and held on to win 11-5 in a defensive struggle. Who am I kidding? We played no defense. McAnally kept talking about his damn shutout and we needed to shut him up. Fool was chirping like Nate Dogg after "Regulators" went platinum. Billy Alvini had four goals, which surpassed his total from the entire spring season. The front line of Jay Brinn, Kevin Clifford, and Anthony Vitucci combined for 7 goals and Myers is damn good looking. He did have two assists, including a great pass on the opening goal.

Listening to Joe Brinn berade the ref because she's a woman and demand the commissioner: Priceless
G'Morks 3, Screaming Beavers 2. We didn't do much screaming, but we sure did bite.
10/3/02: Fuck. Wait, hold on, ok. Fuck. We lost another close one last night, 6-4 with an empty netter at the end. To be honest, we didn't play that poorly. We just couldn't get the lead after tying it twice (2-2, 4-4). Oh well. Joe Brinn was a model citizen, causing the league to launch an investigation. Tucc put in two goals, Jay Brinn one, Bill Alvini is still playing out of his mind and tacked on the fourth. The kid has 7 goals in 4 games-- he had four all of last season. In case you're not grasping this, let's analyze: Joe Brinn kept quiet and Billy Alvini leads the team in goals, by a lot. The whole cosmic balance thing is way out of whack. I'd normally put a joke in here about fresh legs but I think the key is stronger wrists. Frank, on the other hand, has looked sluggish...
10/10/02: Oh my, last night was interesting. We were playing a team founded by Mark Alvini upon his being dismissed from our team-- by his own brother nonetheless. This was like colonial America vs the British with some fucked up, twisted, family issues thrown in for good measure. So it was, well, chippy.
We fell behind 4-1 and things weren't looking good. To our credit, we fought all the way back and Joe Brinn tied things up midway through the 3rd. Later, with about three and a half minutes to go, Jay Brinn made a nice rush up ice and put a backhander past the Bullies goalie. Anthony Vitucci had his second hat trick of the season (had to mention that) and Myers' bandana spurred the defense to lock it down in the closing moments in front of Frank McAnally to secure the win.
That's nice and all, man, but come on now-- on to what the people came for. Joe Brinn and Mark Alvini went at it. No, I mean they went at it. It was like Terry O'Reilly and Dave Shultz. It brings a tear to my eye. Because we're in a sissy league they'll probably both be suspended like 72 games and have to hold a press conference hugging each other, but it was well worth the time and effort. You can take us all out of South Philly but you ain't taking the South Philly out of us all...biatch.
10/18/02: We suck. Ok, we may not suck, but at times we're really not that good. Last night was one of those times. Joey missed the game because he had to serve the suspension for his fight and that character Mike didn't show. That left us with 5 bodies-- the other team had about 19. One sub is tough, especially when your whole damn team is out of shape. On to the "action": Jay Brinn shot his load, scoring 2 and adding two helpers. Tucc took a break from hitting his own teammates in the back and putting shots wide long enough to get two, but he stunk on defensive coverage. Alvini played great D, Myers too, and Kevin was unlucky and got stopped on a couple of nice scoring chances. All in all a frustrating 6-4 loss.
10/22/02: Man, we had a tough loss tonight, but I'm sure we'll rebound Thursday.
10/24/02: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in". You ain't kidding Michael. My boys came up big tonight and we stole a point against D-5 (yes, D-5). We hustled our asses off and were able to get the game into OT, which is damn good against a team that hasn't lost since 1982. Joe Brinn had his second 5 point game of the week, Jay Brinn scored our first two goals to keep us tight early, and Tucc hammered home a bad clear with about 1:30 left in regulation to tie it up. The highlight of the game came when Joey induced a guy into going apeshit, but midway through his attack he decided to assault the ref...it was great, kinda like a bull changing his mind and going after the rodeo clown midway throught his "I'ma get that fucker" sprint. Frank made some clutch saves (some sweet glove in the 2nd), Billy and Myers played great defense considering these fools could skate like the wind, and Kevin Clifford forechecked like an immigrant chasing a green card.
10/28/02: I don't know what the hell happened-- Frank and I were at the Eagles game watching the Birds bitch slap the Giants. I hear we lost, though, 5-2. Leave it to the TMHL to schedule games the night of a home Monday Night Football game. Two people must've scored, or maybe one guy scored twice. Pick one. Jay stunk, and Joey was ugly, that's all I know for sure. Peace out. Listen to the Coup.
11/07/02: We lost. By a lot. Since we didn't score I see no need to get into what the other team did.
11/14/02: We've lost more one goal games late than Joe Brinn has gotten blowjobs from mountain girls up Bloomsburg. It's uncanny. Happened again last night. In our traditional manner, we fell behind 4-1. Following course we tied it up. You knew what was coming. Yup, 5-4 loss.
This is called Tucc's Corner. The way I played last night, I don't even deserve my own corner, unless it's the kind Kevin Clifford uses in a Church basement to piss in or at a party to bang a fat chick in. Nope. I'll call it Alvini's Cuban Corner (but only for today)-- he was a plus 4 you know. Jay Brinn had a goal and a couple helpers, Joe Brinn continued to be our offense with a hat trick. Kevin, again, hussled his ass off and there's nothing better than watching Myers drill people behind the net because he can't stop. Frank played really well, making a lot of stops on a second period powerplay, amongst others. I just blew. Oh well, I knew it would all be OK when we got in the car to head home and Jay told me that he still feels small when he stands beside the ocean.
11/19/02: Hello. My name is Tucc, I've come to take back my corner (sorry Bill). We are indeed moving on in the playoffs after a good old fashioned O.J. style beat-down in our first round game last night. We put up 8 and Frank did his part to secure an 8-4 victory. Joe Brinn continued to play out of his mind, tonight racking up 3 goals and 3 assists, Kevin Clifford was a friggin lunatic on the forecheck AND knocked home the eventual game winner, Jay Brinn chipped in a goal and three helpers, and the defensive combo of Billy and Myers just shut fools down. Tucc had the other 3 goals.
We don't know who we play next, but, with the Bullies' win over You Killed Kenny, it cannot be any higher than the 4 seed. If there's an all South Philly championship we may have 14 refs doing our game. Mark fought a ref, Joey fought Mark, Mark tried to javelin Billy, oh the humanity.
SUPPORT KOY!!!
11/26/02: Another playoff win for the Cru Thick, we're going to the championship game that nobody can make! We overcame the refs in this piece of shit league again-- we had one goal taken away because a guy on the other team decided to move the net three feet to the right as the puck was going in, one scored against us when some cat got his Pele on and kicked the puck with his skate boot for a goal, and Jay got called for a penalty for not taking a faceoff when the refs played hard guy and wouldn't explain their collective lack of vision. No matter, though, 5-4 victorious were we. Joey had another hat trick, Tucc and Jay had one apiece. Big ups to Frank, who held it down through a late game flurry.
