Game Log: Summer 2000 Recaps and random thoughts Bob 2K's Weekly Journal Entries for the Fall 2000 Season |
GAME 1: Canadiens 3, Other Team 2. I was fairly intoxicated and can’t remember the game too well. I do recall that the Habs pulled out a 3-2 victory against a blurry team GAME 2: Canadiens 4, Other Team 6. (by C. Diamandis) We should have won this game it was tied at 4 until late in the third. We only had three players on the bench and they just wore us down. The last goal they had was an empty net goal. Chuck injured his ankle; it swelled up like a golf ball. GAME 3:
Canadiens 7, Other Team 0. (by
C. Diamandis) Courtney gets a shutout. This team sucked; it wasn't even
close from the beginning. Chuck didn't play because of injury. We
actually had 11 skaters. J.J. and Rogie asked too many people to take
Kappy and Chuck's place. There was a big bench-clearing brawl at the end
of the game. The only other thing two things I can say is that Courtney
had 10 shots the entire game and Charlie scored a goal. GAME
4:
Canadiens 5, Other Team 2. This
game was tied for two periods, until two quick goals early in the third
deflated an undermanned “other team.”
The Canadiens had three extra forwards and one defenseman (not
including Charlie) for most of the game.
The Canadiens were in the penalty box more times than Rose
whiffed on my passes (13). A
player on the Canadiens was ejected from the game with the dreaded
three-penalty rule. As far
as I’m concerned, that’s your right as an American.
John Postizzi mysteriously left the game late in the third period
(it was speculated that he was sleeping with Jeff Fassero in the same
Atlanta hotel, and also suffered a stiff neck from the “oversized
pillows”), leaving few players on the Canadien bench.
The starting goaltender, Courtney Carrier, or C2,
could not make the game due to the fact that Michael Bolton was in town.
The fill-in goaltender played solidly, vying for Carrier’s
position. Trade talks with
the GM of the Canadiens are pending… GAME
5:
Canadiens 9, Other Team 3. Rogie
notches his first Hat-Trick in his illustrious NESHL career.
Unfortunately, none of the capacity crowd of 5 (a new record) had
a celebratory hat to throw onto the ice.
Couple that with the fact that one person was reading a novel and
three others were gawking at Charlie’s sister (along with the Other
Team’s bench). Again, the
Canadiens were put in the penalty box more times than Charlie has been
brought up on charges for molesting a dead horse (11).
Somehow this article has turned into a Charlie bashing.
Way to show up at the bar, buddy!
Probably the best played game by the Canadiens this season.
The team was clicking on all 1 ½ cylinders.
C2, fresh off the Bolton tour, redeemed himself with a
solid performance in goal, highlighted by a “single-pad slide” save
in the third period. His
play dispelled the rumors that the fill-in goaltender was receiving
contract offers. An attempt
was made at getting an exclusive interview with the GM, but his
secretary said he was temporarily disposed at the moment, because
3pm-4pm is his “watching-Teletubbies-with-his-pants-down-time.”
Asked about his performance tonight, Carrier responded with:
“I’m just happy to be in a locker room full of undressed, sweaty
guys.” The other team was
in first place prior to the game, but with the win, the Canadiens
leapfrogged to first place in the “B” division.
The team will hold this position for at least two weeks, as there
is no game next week due to the July 4th festivities. Chris Alexis is hoping to follow the John Tesh Tour next week
and any leads on quality tickets would be greatly appreciated by him.
There is a possibility that in lieu of next week’s non-game,
there may be a July 4th log, documenting the festivities of
what should be a ridiculous day. GAME
6:
Canadiens 5, Hackers 6. This
was a fairly horrendous game. If
there was any foreshadowing for the evening, it was this: NO
BEER.
Many people on the team enjoy beer.
Beer is probably the largest motivating factor in this type of
league. The lack of
organization, communication, and effort getting beers for the game
carried over onto the ice, with the exception of myself, who had four
goals. Chris Alexis could
not attend the game because he was the featured speaker at the National
Pansy Convention held in Provincetown.
Speaking of Providence, Jill Kelly will be performing at the Foxy
Lady this week, especially at 3 o’clock on Friday.
And yet, I digress. The
loss on Monday drops the Canadiens out of first place, and into a
second/third place logjam. The
Canadiens play the Bulls next week, an extremely important game that has
playoff implications. The season
schedule is now online on the NESHL website. That is all. GAME
7: Canadiens 5, Bulls 7. |
