The Old Devil’s reach heights of sweet success and plummet to the depths of sour distaste.

On Saturday’s game the team played as if it were for old Stanley’s cup.   The tremendous play produced the second of a two season shut out.    The play was solid with forwards, defence and goal all contributing to a very low scoring game of 2-0.

Then Sunday evening happened.  It may have been the back to back games, the shock of playing on an Olympic size rink or the fact that most of the other team were still cutting teeth.   What ever the reason the old guys were moving slower than expected and it was a heavy loss.   The bright side, and there is always one; is that we did get a number of scoring chances.  Additionally the dressing room spirit was filled with joyful poking at each others mistakes.

 

Remember the tournament is on the April 4th weekend!

Hopefully all the wives and girlfriends are happy after you treated them to a wonderful Valentines.  (ya right).

In any case.. the team continues to move forward with a great year!  The beer fund is increasing and all is good.

Note: schedule change on March 21st.

 

 

Feb 1st

What a year we are having!   The laughter and fun is almost overwhelming.   I have even heard from Jack Wild.   Yes the man is still out in the field looking for new talent.   Maybe he’ll even show up to play game.

 

Speaking of showing up to play a game; for a late Sunday night game we had a three full lines and a spare.  The boys must really want to get out of the house.

Another year is under our belt, although after the Holidays the belt is loosened one more notch.

The team did enjoy a great evening out for their annual Christmas activities.  All the guys were on their best behaviour, expect for Dave who likes to get people into trouble!!   He’s a great guy!

In any case, we are looking for big things this 2nd half of the season.   Pat G. has been called back from the minors and showed a great deal of spirit in his first game. 

The start of the 2nd half is okay with a win and a loss, no matter what the score.   Remember it is to have fun.   Be good and talk soon..

Oh yes… see that the Feb 16th game time has changed.

Hunters return doesn’t seem to have hurt the team, as we have gone 2 and 0 upon his return..  lets see, who hasn’t been here.  Hmmm TIM that’s who.   Tim you have to come out and play.

Christmas is almost upon us.. we will have a little team outing on the 29th.  So make sure you all show up as it will be the official picture day.

Well Friday Night’s game was not the way I wanted to leave for Europe.   The team were more interested in going out after the game then the game itself.  Poor old Jim “I like to see lots of shots” our goalie, faced more rubber then a road.

Oh well, I’ll be out scouting in Europe for young talent.   Who knows what I’ll find!

Ps.. Joe, do you need a personal wake up call.

What a win can do to a dressing room atmosphere.   A strong win accomplished through hard work over 3 periods.   Everyone work as a team, with short shifts and pulling their all each time they were on the ice.   To top it off, Jim the “see what I can catch” played fantastic in net.   One save came as he was done and out and jumped a cross making a great glove save.  

5 wins and we are still in November… what has happened to the team?   Keep up the great work!

 

Oct 31st Halloween

What a start!  Now if we can only finish.   All hopes were up as we took a 2-0 lead in the first and were still maintaining our lead at 3-1.   Then the damn broke and Jim saw more rubber than Good Year has on their tires.

 

But, the fun was had at the Restaurant… the wings and beer were great.  The best of all was Eric’s surprised look, when he came back from the washroom to find all his team mates had left him with the bill.   Little did he know we were watching him from the back of the restaurant.  The waitress played along which made it all that much more expressive.   Eric, the team hopes your eyes are that wide and open when you’re on the ice!   Welcome to the team Eric.

Well the bouquet lingered on Saturday for the start of the game, but seemed to clear towards the end of the game.   Although not the outcome we wanted, we did see more scoring.  

Tuesday’s in ‘Bean Town”, hopefully no repeats will occur.

The Hunter returned and dragged in with him the aromatic fragrance of defeat!   A major loss in what promised to be a stunning start to the beginning of a season.   From one end of the ice to the other we were just out winded.   A couple more guys on the bench would have made a big difference, but wouldn’t have changed the outcome.  We were bad.

 

Now the road to victory will need to be repaved.   Hopefully we won’t count on Rooke to pave the road.

 

Let’s hope Saturdays game (today) goes much better.

 

This years fee’s   $425.   Please make sure you pay up.

 

Be good

 

PS. There is an additional game on the schedule Oct 30th 20:00 in Zurich.  This was scheduled late, so mark it down.
