Bz 1 – Vipers 2

If Jokes Were Music Videos…

I am not sure how I feel about the Vipers.

On the one hand, I like their jerseys. That’s something I think about, obviously, its almost like if we cant win on the scoreboard we can at least win on the catwalk. On the catwalk, yeah, I shake my lil’ tush on the catwalk. In my head the refs award us a half point for the attire but, in typical Planet Ice Delta fashion its lost due to poor paperwork and accounting practices. It doesn’t even bother me that they just stole the dodge viper logo. In fact, if I think about it (and I am not promising I have or will) it makes a kind of sense; the Viper is a loud, gaudy machine, often also in red, that doesn’t handle well but is very loud. Huh. Imagine that.

On the other hand, of course, I prefer winning games. In fact I love it, I love, it, I don’t care. So while we did destroy them in game 1 this year they got us back the second. I dont know if we deserved to lose last night but it seems we did so I will probably end up accepting it.

On the other other hand I don’t want a second Havoc in our division. What’s a red jersey, except an orange that has been covered in the blood of a thousand thousand children? That was a weird thing to say. I just don’t want another team of mouthy douchebags that are willing to crosscheck people into the boards head first. But, what can you do? Say a little prayer, I guess?

I find that this is a really hard game to recap. Or really easy? Maybe I am just lazy. Either way I’m Taking care of business – every day – taking care of business, and working overtime. Alright.

We wildly outshot the vipers. Probably by 20 shots? And I believe a lot weren’t counted. Their goalie – pink gear is awesome but he was in trouble, yeah, in trouble now – stood on his head for much of the game. Lots of shots that might usually go in with a bit of luck was shut down by this guy so good on him. Hot goalies are hot, hot hot!

Coming back to the Havoc, I mean, Vipers, this game got chippy, early. Adam got crosschecked head first into the boards. Boarding? Whatever it was. I know hockey! Mike had some guy try to skate into him between whistles, got knocked the fuck down. That was funny. And a penalty for Mike! But mostly funny. This team is not afraid to randomly hit you for no reason whatsoever, which then leads us to hit back, and it sort of goes from there. I dont think anyone was trying to hurt anybody but, yeah.

I should mention right here, due to a knee problem / inexplicable bout of generosity, Pat “The Goaltender” Hagarty took a last game off and let Joleen “Third String” Badger gear up. And she was just splendid! Hot glove hand, covered the puck well. Imagine if she had a real/working gear? I know, right?

In the end we couldn’t pull it together. we got our powerplay chances, and we almost scored with a faceoff in their end and under 2 seconds on the clock. So close, Will! So close.

Oh look my new book came. Locke Lamora, go!
