Weetin Caught at Bar after Brawl/loss

Disgusting

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 After only one game and they've both probably been superseded by someone else (probably a player-ref that shall remain anonymous) after the Flying Dutchmen's 4-2 loss last Wednesday.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".

Plus/Minus is the new Points

Well, your Club de Hockey Flying Dutchmen are 1-0 in the newly formed ?HL. In a 10-3 rout of Les Rouges, Coach had this to say,
"I couldn't make it, I had to work. I can't make it next week either."
The Velvet Rope now leads the league in all goaltender related stats: GAA, Save Percentage, jersey size etc., but it's Bobette who holds the top spot in the most coveted stat: Plus/Minus.

"As soon as I laced on the sneakers for the first time," he reminisced, "I just had the gift, I guess. I'd get a bad feeling in my stomach, and as soon as that would happen I'd run off as quickly as I could, no matter where the ball was on the floor, and the other team, more often than not, would score just after the change. Coaches and teammates got jealous of my plus/minus I think. They'd call me reckless. But hey, you know what they say, everyone breaks eggs at some point."

Johnny Garbageman holds the fifth spot amongst all players for floortime, trailing his teammate Matt by only 45 seconds.
"My damn shoelace came untied," he growled with a smile, "I tried to play and tie it at the same time, but the ref thought I was hopping like that because I was injured and ordered me off. I called Dave back off as soon as it was tied. I didn't know he was gonna just throw it at our own net."
"That definitely hurt Johnny's plus/minus," said Bobette. "I had to come off, so I just tried to create a bit of chaos to kill time, and it worked out badly in the end. For Garbageman, not for me; I was on the bench by the time the goal went in. I ran up to the scorekeeper after to tell him, actually, because it was pretty close, and I was worried he'd missed it."
The Flying Dutchmen tread the boards tomorrow night at some time against The Bacon Strips. No time to edit this. sorry.

No games till the 20th

Letter to the team from Captain Bobette:

No games for 3 weeks! I bet it's because of a strongly worded letter to the ref and league by Bobette. What a crappy game! What a crappy gym! What a crappy douche on the the other team. The straw that broke the camel's back was definitely the ref's non-call following the stick throwing incident between the Flying Dutchman and All-in.

Garbage man intercepted a pass and went in alone on a break away, only to have this big ol' douche throw his stick at him, in a non-vain attempt to knock the ball away.

When confronted, the ref shrugged and said "What am I gonna call it: slashing? hooking?"

It's called THROWING THE STICK

What kind of hockey ref thinks throwing the stick is a normal hockey play.

We also lost fifteen minutes because he decided to wander the halls and play with his phone well after the 8:40 starting time. Sorry I didn't go after him sooner, by the way. I'm not assertive enough to be a great captain. I want Alain back, if for no other reason than to talk to the ref argue with other captains, and to generally be aware.

Oh, but how about my 2 goals. Talk about being a stone-cold sniper. And that guy trying to get one of them taken back. Eff that, bring a goalie next time.

New Uniforms

Ok, this is the last time I'm gonna ask: Well maybe not the last time, but I'm asking again:

LET'S GET MORE UNIFORMS. I can get them CHEAP. Who wants one? Who wants two? Style? colour?

Saturday Game

For those who want extra practice, come out tomorrow to the Fun-league. Don't let the 3-week lay-off wreak havoc with our chemistry and physics. After the game, we're all gonna go on a team building/bonding get-away to my brother's apartment for food. I haven't told him yet. he's gonna be so surprised.

I could have e-mailed this, but I already e-mailed you.

Warm regards,
Bobette
