"I Love Coming From Behind"

It was a sultry atmosphere in the Flying Dutchmen Hockey Club's showers following their 8-5 come-from-behind victory over Les Achigans.  The air was filled with the sounds of running water and towel slapping goodness.  But one member of the team found himself on the receiving end.
    "J'ai oublié ma serviette," said Fred.  "C'est comme dans un match. Je n'ai aucune protection."



We caught up with administrative captain Dave, who was having a great time after having scored an empty net goal in the dying seconds of the game.  He spoke with a giddyness the likes of which hasn't been seen since Paul witnessed Les Chacals defeat The Marines in the summer of 2012.
    "It's amazing that Fred forgot his towel today!  I love it.  Look at him!  He has no towel today so he's totally defenseless. Look," he said, giggling, as he scampered after a suspecting Fred, before slipping on the tiles, screaming like a child as he fell to the floor, "I fell!"  Fred walked over him, and away.

With regard to the game, the Garbage Man got three goals and Matt played extremely well, keeping them in the game after going down 3-1 or 3-0, or both.  Eric was penalized for tripping with the score 5-4 in favour of the Dutchmen, even though it was an accidental!  They killed the penalty, however, and Eric immediately scored a tremendous goal to put the game out of reach.  Now, I'm not sure about whether it was actually the winning goal, but it might have been.  Overall, the team was impressed with how hard they played throughout the whole game.

Graham was absent for the second win in a row.  When reached for comment, Graham texted twice, "Was I there when we won the championship, DaveZ?"

The grab-assing was not limited to the locker room.

Eric, Fred, and Alain went out for pops after the game.  They invited the others, who declined.  Hopefully they haven't forgotten what got them the championship in the first place.
    "It was a huge mistake.  Probably the biggest regret of the past few months, for me," said Dave.

Here are some more photos of Dave fielding questions from the showers.  Sorry there are no photos of the others.

"You, over there."

  

"Uh, I think there's a reason they count empty net goals."

"I love coming from behind, and you can quote me on that."

Here's a cool video of Dave posing for a funny photo relating to Colby Armstrong's comments regarding "beauty" Brandon Prust earlier in the week.
