"B"eautiful Mess

We'll blame the coming in of Trout season and happily married couples on this loss.  Barely able to field a legal team, UCHC dropped another stinker. 

Brewster, Scuderi, Nordo, and Tim were the only members in attendence.  Brewster's brother Doug was going to fill in for Shoup in goal, but a game-time decision was made to bring in the back-up (the dude with the long hair who is always there, Lambeau...Lambo...whatever his name is) which allowed Doug to play a non-goalie position. 

The Predators struck early and often - scoring 4 goals in the first period.  UCHC answered with one of their own when Nordo made a sickening between the legs foot pass to a steaking Tim, who beat the goalie on the low stick side.

This team was full of familiar homos foes.  Ugly Ref was playing defense.  Taylor Hossa was acting like he invented hockey.  That one kid that wears a face-shielded helmet was stick-handling all over the place - even when no one was defending him.  That Ben dude with the huge ass was checking me all game, once hitting me hard enough on a delayed off-sides call that it knocked my skull cap and beanie off of my head.  Another time, on another delayed off-sides call where the ball was up for grabs and although I cheated and closed my hand over the ball, he jarred it loose for an incomplete pass.  That dude sucks at hockey, but he's pretty good at throwing his large ass around - legal or not - gay or not.  And finally our good pal Rick, the owner, was doing his best impression of a 50-year old guy trying to play hockey with a bunch of 20 and 30 year olds. 

With only one sub -  actually playing the game was merely delaying the inevitable "L" in the wins/losses column - but I thought we played pretty well considering. 

Tim and Doug hooked up mid-way through the second to bring the score to 7-2, and then Chad fed Nordo a nice dish late in the third to bring our total to 3.  The Predators ended with 9, so on paper the game does not seem close, but the paper doesn't always tell the full story. 

Benny played a good game both up top and in the back, and Lambow (?) made some decent saves.  We had a quite a few opportunities to score but could not quite find the back of the net, quite.  Tim had many opportunities to find Nordo but effed up time and again.

Next week we play NOBODY @ 1:00, which if i'm remembering correctly is a team of little bitches.  They are currently 1-2.  We are 0-4. 

Picnic at my place after the game.  Stats updated.  Go Pens.
