Halifax Floor Hockey LeagueTitans Loose Their First!
Sabres 7 Titans 4
So the Mighty Titans were picked to win it all by some experts. I guess there should have been a stipulation put in there that said "providing their team shows up".
With a team loaded with talent like these guys are, it was ashamed to see that they only had three guys show. they even had to go to the depths of despair and pick up lazy bum goalie Marty "Candy" Kane but there was no saving them from this pending massacre. The addition of Tony Joyce gave them a spark but the Sabres were just too many this night and it caught up with the Titans late in the game. It was close right up until the end of the second with the Sabres holding a one goal lead. They popped two more in the third to get the win. Tom Wynn was steady as usual but Scott "I'm Hot" Cross picked up a hat trick to give his team the boost they needed. Even after Kane made the save of the year thus far, which by the way was SSSOOOOO much better than any of Cross's three goals...and i mean WAYYYY Better, Cross wired a shot in the top corner and left Kane looking for his jock strap on a deke. It was a valiant effort for the short staffed Titans but they fell short this night.
Dog's Don't Like The Cold
Chill 7 Bulldogs 5
The Chill continued their winning ways as the tandem of Cowie and Grove led the way to victory. They combined for a total of 5 goals and 3 assists to hand the Bulldogs this loss. John Rathbun returned triumphantly after missing last week's game with a reported "Upper Lip Injury". We asked him how he was doing and he just said "My Wip Ith OTay now".
Keep an eye out for the Chill...they are heating up???
Kane Sucks but is still too good for B_ _ _ S _ _ _
Fire 9 Hackers 5
The Hackers did not look good tonight as they fell victim to the Fire in this lopsided win. The Fire, led by their trusty pain in the backside captain, Rob "The Rhino" Tyrrell showed that they are now a contender. The injury bug bit the Fire hard and this has led to the acquisition of former league elite Richard "Tin" Cann, who quickly made his mark scoring 2 goals and adding 2 helpers to show that he has the stuff that the Fire pay him for. Dawning his tight white St. Louis Blues shirt, he was a flash out there. We asked him about his return. "Yea, I wore this here tight white St Louis Blues shirt for my buddy Louis Bril. He wasn't able to be here so I wanted to show my support for his being away, thus this fine good looking shirt I wore. It's great to be back. Rob Tyrrell is a hog, but he is still fun to play with. I'm looking forward to next week. I hope Louis is back though, this shirt is very uncomfortable"
Lynx Win...Lynx Win!!!
Lynx 7 Slayers 6
The Slayers lost their second in a row as the Lynx showed signs of what might be when the two teams took to the court tonight. Chris "See Mac" McKinnon showed he is really human after all as he gave up 7 goals. Almost as many as he has total for the rest of the season. Jason "Boom Boom" Boudreau came to play this week and it showed in some of the acrobatic style saves that we have grown so accustomed to seeing when ever he plays. He was the difference maker in this one.
So that is it for the games. Worth while to note that Craig Beidler picked up his 100th goal tonight. Way to go Craig!
In the news, PK Subban was dropped as the spokes person for Halls Cough Drops this week. Following the games played in our league this past Monday, the company announced that they have replaced Subban with our very own Richard Wannamaker. We are not sure how he will react to this piece of news, but we hope he will smile...
So here is my rant for the week.
There are three things that give me gas. Beans, wieners and Donair Pizza. Well I need to add something else to the list. Refs who make stuff up. Now, some might say that I make things up, like Pigeon stories or fake endorsement deals, but that is all true. Really, it is. When a ref steps on to the court he OR she, as is the case in this instance, should know the rules. Some people think that once they have that bright red shirt on or maybe that tight white shirt, that they have the ability to do and say whatever they want. So, this lady makes up some stuff that could have effected the outcome of the game. Ok, well it wouldn't have but i need to make a big deal about nothing or no one will read my sucky stories. Maybe we should set up some type of board that can deal with these loose canons. They hurt the game...or is it the game hurts them. Anyway, there is something stinky about all of this and it ain't Stinky. The next thing we'll see is a penalty for not wearing a Visser right John? Or maybe someone will miss an open net and she will award a "Milligan" rather than a mulligan right Ryan.
All I know is that none of this makes sense and that is why i am going to get fired by the league, so i better just stop now before someone starts singing Hey Ewe Get Off Of McLeod, or is it the other way around...I never did like the rolling rocks.
I don't know anymore. Do you?
(the opinions expressed in this rant are not the leagues, but are mere representations of some warped mind that calls himself Billy Concarney)
So that's how it looked from here. I am Billy Concarney saying so long and remember...If your wife asks you what her favorite flower is, don't say Robinhood All Purpose...you might just find yourself redefining the word "celibacy".
Be well folks!
