CARBO LOAD!


"I chose pasta for energy, and the salad, uh, it's just healthy too, I guess," said forward Weetin five minutes before the start of Wednesday's match. "I'm pretty full. Some of the boys tried to get in on it, but I insisted on eating the whole pot myself - for the energy, see?"

When asked when he'd eaten the meal, he pointed to a dirty pot and plate in the corner of the locker room, "Just finished it now. Or else, what's the point? You gotta have fresh carbs."

When asked if he was worried about the game, he quickly replied "Yeah! A bit! It's gonna be a long game. I'll tell you one thing, I wish I could soak that pot right about now, it's gonna be a bitch to clean later."

The Flying Dutchmen lost tonight, 6-4, against the Deadly Moogly, who extend their winning streak to three games. D-max had his first goal of the season tonight, on a spicy wrist shot from the point, and almost scored two more on set-ups from spaghetti Weetin and someone else (feel free to let us know who it was, all you comment people.)

The Deadly Moogly took a 5-1 lead in the first half. They controlled the flow and capitalized on their chances. The Dutch made some critical errors and always seemed a step behind the play. "Graham" Kussbertsin took a ball on the balls about ten minutes in that left him folded up on the bench, crack-voiced and tear-eyed. He caught every one, though, not letting one get past his rather stiff upper lip.

The second half saw the Dutchmen regain their composure and unleash their never-before-seen second half rally. Did I mention that D-max scored! Well, he did. I see it now, I did mention it. Well, it's worth mentioning twice. D-max scored! Worth mentioning three times, and that's all.

Then they lost anyway, and are all the better for it.

Until next time.

Retraction: Dan's the Man


A post from September 26th, or something, incorrectly stated that a former team captain had the highest plus/minus in the league. Upon further examination, it appears that D-max had a slightly higher rating. He led by one. It seems kind of silly that I have to write this now, actually, seeing as those stats were taken after only one game had been played. After only one game and they've both probably been superseded by someone else (probably a player-ref that shall remain anonymous) after the Flying Dutchmen's 4-2 loss last Wednesday. Anyway I apologize for the inconvenience and blah, blah, blah. Nobody even reads this shit anyway. Whatever.

We play this Wednesday and hopefully, with the Return of Big Daddy Graham, we can put some wins together.

They call it a team sport for a reason. I fear in this new age of statistical analysis, we may forget why we started playing in the first place. There's no +/- in "fun".
