Pouting is Such Sweet Sorrow

Since Nick is officially retired, it looks like the job of writing recaps will now fall to someone else. (Hey, I'm "someone else!")
Not that Nick actaully ever wrote any recaps...at least not any that I can think of...moving on...

This week's recap will be fact-or-fiction style! On we go!

For those of us who were there last night, we know what the real facts were and we will also know what the fictitious parts are.
But for those that were sadly missing, they'll never know, so that's just too bad...

One a night that was free from agressive slashing, name-calling, and (coincidentally) also missing Griff, we found out what were missing, with Nick being out of the lineup: Fun.

With no one to trip him up, Jared scored a record-high 25 points last night in the six total games we played. It was all offense. Four unassisted goals in the first two games alone. Breakaway after breakaway...

Amazingly, Pete the Meat scored a hat trick in the first game and followed it up with a three-assist second game, too.

Billy scored a blazing game-winner on a 3-on-3 lineup when the game was called into overtime.

Johnny started off hot and then cooled down as his back gave out on him. But he rallied to lead the team to the game 6 win, giving the white team the victory.

Jason was tripped up on a breakaway, but he got up, shook hands with the person that tripped him, and maturely controlled his temper and forgave him for the obvious mistake.

Oh, and Jared was whining even though he scored a lot, again.

Brett stood on his head for parts of game 2, shutting down would-be threats on wide open across-the-crease passes, but then, he had enough and wanted in on the action, so he grabbed Billy's stick out of his hands and charged up the court in full goalie gear, juked everyone and scored on Dave in an unprecedented play!

Johnny had a play in game 2 where he popped it up and Frendon reached out across the crease and picked it out of mid-air and over Dave's shoulder (but below the crossbar, yes, below).

Jason made an extremely sweet pass across the crease to a wide-open Johnny who buried it. Looked like Bergeron to Marchand. Jason also followed that up with back-to-back goals in game 2. Impressive.

Ward made some plays of his own, including some stellar defensive rushes where he jumped up on O and scored back-to-back unassisted goals. What a night for offense!

Oh, and Jared whined some more. (I'll bet you think that this part is fiction, don't you?)

All in all it was a great night. Too bad some people had more important things to do. Oh well, there's always the Haver....Nevermind.


P.S. No hockey next week.
