This and Next Week's Games

Hi Boys.  Quick update on this weekend and next weekend's games.  So far as I know we should have a fairly full squad for this weekend.  This going by the fact that no one has told me that they will not be there.

I will not be there.  Jul and I realized that it's the end of July and we only have a few weekends left before she's back to school so we're taking the boys camping.  I owe Benny money for ref fees from last week and the week before (minus $8).  That amount plus the amount owed for this coming week I will give to Curt.

Regarding next week's game.  A few of us will be gone that weekend on the beach trip.  We have a bye the following week.  The team we're scheduled to play next week also has a bye the following week.  I left Rick a message this morning asking if we could possibly switch our bye weeks.  I'll let you know what he says.  (h/t to Benny for discovering this possibility, I think we all know who the real manager should be).

Take it easy.



 

GAME RECAP: 7/24/201 VS. K-OSS

Once again UCHC found themselves manning the heat with 1 sub (which only showed up after the first period) - but once again they managed to slug out a win.  If you're thinking to yourself "K-OSS is a terrible name and they must be a bunch of punk, deucshy kids,"  well, you're right.

Doug was in goal.  Chad and Benny were in front of him, and Tim and dek rat Mark were up top.  Things started out well as UCHC took an early 2 goal lead.

Shit was HOT!  Had to be low to mid-ninety degree temperatures on the dek.  Us, being the elder and less in shape players on the dek simply took it like men.  K-OSS on the other hand bitched the entire time to the point where we lost all respect for them as humans.  In more ways than one, i'm embarrassed for their parents.

K-OSS had the lead 5-4 when Curt finally decided to show up and give us a sub.  Shortly after we took the lead and never looked back.

Although it was a high scoring affair, us winning 10-7 - it was a somewhat boring game.  That up until the final 2 minutes of the third period where there were 5 minor penalties handed out.  The game ended with Curt being threatened with a lawsuit by the shittiest kid in all of Butler County.  I don't mean shitty when referring to his playing, he was probably their best player.  I simply mean shitty in all matters human; physically, mentally, and emotionally.  This kid's uncle must have caused come K-OSS in his bum when he was young.  He was a piece of work.  And after all of his threatening and bitching, he quickly left the dek with his sister-girlfriend-she-beast and fled the scene.

MVP goes to Benny...and I guess Curt for keeping their cool during that ordeal (Curt DID blast the kid's stick out of his hands, but he didn't punch him in the face).

This is what I think the stats were:

Tim 4 goals, 2 assists
Curt 4 goals, 1 assist
Chad 4 assists
Benny 2 assists
Mark everything else.

Game is at 2:00PM next Saturday.  Let me know if you will not be there.  See you then fellas.

GAME RECAP: 7/17/2010 VS Quick Stops

What the hell happened dudes?  Only three guys showed up for the game, did we communicate this with each other?  When this happens it really leaves the dudes that did show up in a shitty situation.  Luckily they were able to find some guys to play - but if not they waste a trip to the dek only to have to forfeit.  I would be pissed.

We have two options to prevent this from happening yet again.  We either 1) ask 20 dudes to play next session so that we always have enough guys to play.  This without considering a single complaint for lack of playing time.  Or 2) we be sure to always inform the team if we will or will not be there PRIOR to gameday.  This way we have time to find replacement players.

I understand that things come up, people are busy, and plans change.  Just be courteous to your fellow teammates and let someone know.  Thanks fellas.  See you this weekend.

In case you didn't read it, the following was left by Benny following the game as a comment on the Austria post:



U.C.H.C. had only 3 players show up.

Quick stops arrived in masses with a total of 9!

They were arrogant enough, though, to let us pick up a deck rat, joe, (who had to take himself out of the game after the 1st period and replace himself with yet another deck rat [mark]) and one of the refs (steve claypoole) played for us to make a complete line and keep the U.C.H.C. from a forfeit. Things looked grimm...

I can't make an entire recap, cuz, well, there was too much sweat in my eyes to see the whole thing happen. But, in the end, our own chad cranmer scored his first goal of he session along with 2 from steve and 3 from D.R. Mark. While their first goal was pretty soft, they only managed to sneak 2 more behind the defense and into the net.

That's right...

The U.C.H.C. won it 6-3!

Now if we can only get our own team to show up for one of these wins. Also, I did have to pick up refs fees for today's game. We can square up on that later...




Good show fellas, stats updated. 

Next Game

Good luck this weekend dudes.  I'll drink a beer for you in Vienna.

Actually that is Salzburg - oh wait, I'll be there too.  Sound of music bitches.  

Curt has the money for ref fees.  We will be waiting until the following week's game to take our Mario Mosaic photo.

Make sure you converse with each other so that we have enough players, doing so via the blog page in the comments section is a good idea.  Click the link at the bottom of the page to go there.  

Chad tell Travis he is still welcome to play.  

Until next week boys.  

Here's a video of Marky and Eric when they were younger to help you through your Monday.  Good moves dude. 

  

GAME RECAP - 7/2 Vs. Beef Supreme

It was nice to see a few subs on the bench for UCHC's second game of the 2010 Summer C campaign.  Although hot and humid outside, it helps knowing you have the opportunity to take a break when you're tired. 

The lines were a little out of sorts.  We were missing our gunner Curtis.  Fehl is off in left field somewhere.  Seth was playing offense.  A few of us had a few beers prior to the game because of the holiday.  It was one big chimichanga. 

Things started out spicy when Beef Supreme's supreme offensive defenseman fired an order of Nachos Supreme at Dougy, and it sour-creamed it's way past his right boot. 

The rest of the first period felt like Chili-cheese - in a burrito, and it ended with us trailing like a Toxic Hell poop stain, 1-0. 

Shortly into the second Marky put us on the board and tied the game at 1 with a sweeping/reverse hard taco wrister that beat the opposing goalie like a chalupa. 

The rest of the second moved slower than refried beans.  I believe Beef Supreme snuck another churro past Doug at one point, but I can't remember if it was still tied at 1 at the end of two, or if they had retaken the lead, or if they had finished their Grande Meal.

They scored again early in the third on a botched avocado call, and we were again down by 2 jalapenos.  I followed one of their dudes into the penalty box to share a Baja Blast after each of us were called for highsticking. 

Someone threw a crunch wrap supreme pass to me as I exited the box and I toasted the goalie like a Grilled Stuffed Burrito. 

We poured it on like Nacho Cheese late in the third, many times controlling the ball in their zone for extended periods of time, but we could not beat the taco-meat, and the game ended with us as losers 2-3. 


We have a bye this week so don't show up.  The schedule has been updated and should be updated on the team calendar on the main blog page sometime today. 

Whomever assisted both Marky and I's goals please let me know.  I believe they were from defenseman.

CHARITY DONATION UPDATE:  The wife is going to take a picture of our team at our next game - reason being that with our donation of $66.00 to the Mario Lemieux Foundation and the submition of our picture, we will be part of the Mario Mosaic.  Pretty sweet huh?  Check out the website here.

REMINDER: Game # 2 @ 8:00PM, 7/3/2010

Curt will not be at the game, he will be attending a wedding. 

I may or may not be there.  I forgot that I agreed to watch my nephew.  I don't want to leave Jul alone with three babies, so as long as he is asleep by 7:30 or even 7:45 I will be there. 

Please bring whatever money you still owe for this session.  If I end up not making it, simply put that amount toward ref fees.  Do not allow Benny to pay ref fees. 

Marky and Eric you still owe $10 each. 

Fehl, Nord, and Chard each owe $61.75. 

We play Beef Supreme.  I recall beating up on them when we used to play C league.  We'll see how it goes.  (Hopefully) See you dudes there.
