(WHISTLE) – Delay of Game (ball into the net) – Legends Last Stand
(WHISTLE) – Delay of Game (ball into the net) – GoodFellas

Scotty Young is a Punk (more later)
Game 2
First goal of the game by That’s a Plus… Followed by: GOAL, GOAL, GOAL, GOAL, GOAL, GOAL, GOAL for FOURget About-It (7) unanswered GOALS!!
WTF with this Delay of Game Rule…
So Article 4, Section 3, Paragraph 2 of the Over-30 rule book reads: A Delay of Game penalty shall be called on any player who shoots the ball FROM THEIR OWN DEFENSIVE ZONE and ABOVE THE PLEXIGLASS surrounding the rink into the perimeter netting, causing a stoppage in play. No warning shall be given to the offending player and that player shall be given a 1-minute minor penalty for Delay of Game.
“You live by the sword and you die by the sword”… however in the case of the League Director Bill Abcunas “You live by the rule and you die by the rule!!” After the 3rd Delay of Game Penalty was called on Goodfellas, the offending party (our League Director) and chief rule maker was arguing the call and whining all the way to the penalty box. Shut Up and get in the box!!!
Checking in with Legends Last Stand
Speaking of Bill Abcunas… it looks like he is starting early this season trying out various teams and seeing which team he’ll choose later in the season to make a playoff run with. Early predictions say it could be Legends Last Stand… which begs to ask: Is Bill Abcunas a legend?
What exactly does the name Legends Last Stand mean? This is going to be their last push (or stand) to win another championship… or with Ray Nickerson MIA, Joe Shannon on IR, Matty Iannello still not 100% from his lower body injury… this is the last season these legends will be standing?
Currently in Last Place for Legends Last Stand… we are checking to see if they are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet.
Nah Nah Nah Hey Hey Hey Goodbye… is what Jim Barber is singing to his pink stick bag this season. With Matty Iannello onboard with his 13-goal challenge, our insiders think that this season there will be a ceremonial passing of the bag to the Great One. Especially after we witnessed #77 miss a WIDE open net last week. However, according to Matty who did the math and says he only needs about half the season to shut up his critics. Good luck Matt… we all pulling for you (except Jim)
We interrupt this Trash Talk Fourm now for our segment called
“Busting the Goalies Balls”
It was the battle of the top ranking fantasy goalies last week #1 Billy Gardynski Jr vs #2 Jeff Deharo. Rumors circulating around the fantasy draft is that team owners are demanding a recount and are checking ballots for hanging chads… #2 Jeff Deharo is currently sitting #4 in the actual ranking (and that doesn’t) include his 4 GAA while filling in for FOURget About-it. Apparently Jeff thought he could let in four goals and since it’s not his team we would all just “Forget About it”
Billy Gardynski Sr felt what is was like to be facing the new Big 3 instead of playing with them and winning back-to-back championships. John Desmond’s hattrick on his former goalie and 7-unanswered goals was enough to send Sr over the edge and according to FOURget About-It’s Carlos Machado who said “He’s out of it (Sr)… he’s already having Thanksgiving Dinner in his head”. So I guess we can say Happy Thanksgiving every time someone scores on the unofficial #2 fantasy goalie.
Now back to our regular scheduled programing and trash talking
Call him The Pretender… call him El Baby… and now you can call him Punk. Our own Scott Young joined the “Punk Move” club last week. Already ready up 3-1 with 17-seconds left to play Scotty (who could have shot it into the corner and let time run out) buried an empty net goal… What a Punk Move – right Joe Shannon?
That's a Plus... and That's a Minus 5
The biggest Trash Talk story of the week has to go to the Legend (Dan Broderick) and his wanna be admirer (Mike Naczas) as the new Generic Duo on defense did not disappoint the new “That’s a Minus” fan club (and) they ironically posted what Naczas so vocally taunted Dan with last season… let us not forget Naz’ - “That a Minus #5” chant after every goal Dan was on the deck for.
