| Not much to be thankful for October 13, 2009 by Moe Diggity Playing hockey on Tuesdays may not be so bad. Personally, I like the whole 'playing the day after a holiday Monday' thing. It's a nice way to start the workweek. How ironic, I thought to myself, that we're playing a team called 'Wings' one day after Thanksgiving. The schedule is funny like that. Last year we played against Producer Kyle's old team called the 'Reapers' on Halloween night. And the year before that we played a team called the 'Flaming Fagbirds' the same week of the Gay Pride Parade. Actually, I just made that up. Though, Moe Bailey did refer to a team called the Screaming Eagles as the Flaming Fagbirds. And we did play them a couple of times that summer. So it's really not that far from the truth. Anyways, the game against the Wings started off great with Babyface Rob scoring the opening goal and giving us our first lead of the season. But then the final two periods rolled around and we let the Wings walk all over us and score the next seven goals. One thing you have to say about this team is that we're definitely consistent. Our goals scored have consistently deteriorated in each game (3, 2, 1), while our goals against have stayed at a consistent 7. Does that mean we're due for a 7-0 whooping in our next game? I hope not. So while it may look like we don't have a lot to be thankful for, I beg to differ. We may not be as big, as strong, or as fast as our competition (as Moe Gemmell pointed out to us in his 'motivational' speech a couple of weeks ago) but, damn it, we're nicer. So I'm thankful for that. And we may not win any of our games but we've got a couple of "do-able" waitresses (Moe Bailey's words, not mine) upstairs at The Thirsty Penguin that'll serve us cold beer after our humiliating losses. So I'm thankful for that. One other thing I'm thankful for is that our website provider doesn't charge us for spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. Did you read Moe MyGod's write up from last week? We'd be paying through the nose for that monstrosity! Don't get me wrong, though. Moe MyGod bleeds orange and black and only has good intentions. Furthermore, he can throw a wicked-hard knee... just don't ask him to spell it. Quote of the week: "Assists are for guys that can't finish the job." - Team leading goal scorer, Moe Bailey, gives us his philosophy on individual statistics. |
