Over 30 Hockey League

Despite what “The Great One” Matty Iannello is trying to pitch about “Breast Cancer Awareness”… the pink badge of “Failure” serves as a reminder that he is human and he joins the ranks of Jim Barber and Tony Medeiros as “Failures”

Tony Bono and Scott Young can wear their “Passed” badge with honor… although in this reporters eyes Tony should be wearing “Pink” too, if Alby Luise could have just made one more save with 27-seconds left in Tony’s challenge.

#14

What’s so significant about the #14?  It’s actually a “little” ironic.  Both John and Tony Mastrocola wear #14 and by sheer coincidence they need a total of 14-Goals to beat the “Pink Stick Bag Challenge”.  Also if you add their two numbers and the goals required (14+14+14) = 42 … which is actually Tony’s height in inches.

Tony’s 42” frame is why he can’t ride a lot of rides at Disney… and why Mickey is always yelling at him that break is over and to get back to work on the “It’s a small world” attraction.

Man on a mission

Someone is taking the “Pink Stick Bag Challenge” very seriously while someone else is playing possum.  Johnny Mastrocola was on fire last week scoring (3) of the 14-goals needed to complete the challenge… while bother Tony Mastrocola was playing possum in the corner.  Johnny was heard yelling “Between the gaps” to “Get up and pull his own weight” so Johnny doesn’t have to be the one to score all 14-goals.

Bad news John… we are officially filing a petition to the league to only allow only 1.5 of your goals to be counted towards the challenge.  We feel that you were taking advantage of Billy Gardynski Sr’s dismal start and had an unfair competitive advantage.

The Portuguese Godfather

What Marlon Brando was to the “Corleone Famly”… John Leite is to the “Leite Family” 

As the Portuguese Godfather and Matchmaker, John decides who is worthy enough to date and marry his sisters.

First up; after kissing John’s ring and asking for his blessing, Tony Medeiros was granted permission to marry John’s sister Denise.  This was followed by the once 2014 Co-Leading Scorer Dominic DeFransico asking “Don John” if he could date his other sister Christine. 

Though John was disappointed with Dominic’s “Co-Leading Scorer” title and not being the Sole Leading Scorer… it was only after Dominic’s explanation of how he was robbed of the title by a whining Matty Iannello that John granted Dominic permission to date his sister.

We also heard that his permission comes with the stipulation that John must always play on the same team as Tony and Dominic… otherwise there will be the Portuguese equivalent of a horse’s head in their beds.  We have to believe it would be some part of a suckling pig.

Which leads us to ask the question:

Does John have?

(A) Hot Sisters

(B) Blind Sisters

(C) Desperate Sisters... who are willing to marry the Portuguese Power Duo?

Something “Pink”?

The stipulation associated with the “Pink Stick Bag Challenge” is if you “Fail” that you must wear something pink the following season.  For Jim Barber it was pink wrist bands and for Matty Iannello it was a pink necklace.

Leave it to the Portuguese to one up the challenge punishment phase… and went “Everything Pink”.  Tony Medeiros took the challenge to a whole new level when he showed up and walked all the way through Hockeytown dressed completely in pink. 

One of the players heard a parent downstairs say “He must have lost a bet”… well as we all know, he did lose a bet and Tony earned himself a new nickname this season.  Instead of the “Portuguese Power”… we are now referring to him as Tony “The Flamingo” Medeiros.

Isn’t “sHE” pretty in pink

Tony “The Flamingo” Medeiros strutted in loud and proud in his pink attire that would have made Molly Ringwald jealous.

Take note Tony & John Mastrocola… The “Flamingo” has turned the pink punishment into something worthy of a Hasty Pudding crossdressing entrance and you two better start thinking about toping that display of degradation.

Turning over a new leaf

With Tony “The Flamingo” Medeiros showing off his sense of humor instead of yelling at his own teammates it makes us wonder if Tony is turning over a new leaf. 

Perhaps a friendlier and happier Medeiros will break his horrendously documented playoff record.  This could be the team that takes Tony, Dominic, and “Don John” to jacket fitting room and get some more Portuguese names etched onto that trophy.

Ed Nigro shuts down Miville

Ed Nigro maybe into his twilight of his playing career…but don’t tell that to Shawn Miville.  Ed went toe-to-toe with the leagues new premier superstar and had one of his best games on defense (in recent years).  Not only was Ed seen breaking up Shawn and other Labatt Blues forwards that came into the offensive zone… but he did it using Dan Broderick’s signature move… the stick drop.

Congrats Mr Nigro; you blocked, dove and broke up enough offensive threats to earn yourself a cheeseburger in the process.  Enjoy your “Five Guys Players of the week award”… as it might be that last individual award you get before your retirement plaque.

Matty 2^nd round fantasy pick

“The Great One” was not drafted in the “First” round of the Over-30 Fantasy Draft.  He would have gone in the first round if he was either (A) there to pick himself or (B) if there was seven fantasy owners… cause that’s when Matty Iannello went in the draft (Second Round, 7^th pick overall).  Have the mighty fallen??

Like American Idol… 

Tell us who our "Top Six" performers are Mr. Ryan Seacrest.

Over-30 Fashion Corner

Move over Carlos Machado and your matching Portuguese Attire… It seems someone has just one upped you in the shorts department.  Did everyone notice that after week one Shawn Miville had a pair of custom Seattle Green shorts made to match his jersey?  According to Shawn “If you’re going to be the best… you might as look the best”

However on Mr Blackwell’s list of fashion foe pars… Did anyone else notice the gay little elf shoes Jay Carrien was wearing?  Jay’s defense was; “They are LL Beans” and the “most comfortable shoes” he owns.  

For this reporter, I don’t care if they were made out of Sabretooth Tiger Hyde and lined with Woolly Mammoth Fur… You can’t drink deer and talk hockey while wearing a pair of Peter Pan slippers.

Pierre McGuire was in the Hiz-ouse

Call it coincidence or a premonition… but on the very week we reference Pierre McGuire for the first-time ever in the P.U.T.A. Forum, he actually made an appearance in Hockeytown during last week’s ice hockey tournament.

Jay Carrien was the only Over-30 player (we know of) that actually saw him walking out… so we are pretty sure if Pierre saw Tony dressed completely in pink and Jay’s gay little elf shoes… the guy just wanted to hightail it the hell out of there.

Just in case the webmaster does have physic abilities we would like to see if any of the following people make an appearance next week:  Ray Bourque, Bobby Orr, Rick Middleton, Cam Neely, Mike O’Neil, Lyndon Byers, Jack Eichel and/or Elvis.  

Tony and John Mastrocola aka “the Munchkin brothers”

Pink Stick Bag Points Watch Winter 2015

For the first time ever, a brother combination will collectively attempt to defeat the Pink Stick Bag Challenge. Tony and John Mastrocola are the 6^th and 7^th players chosen for the dreaded Pink Stick Bag Challenge.  The Munchkin brothers need to score 14 total goals this season; otherwise, they will inherit the Pink Stick Bag from its newest owner and current loser of this challenge, Tony aka “the Portuguese Power Failure” Medeiros.  In addition, if the Munchkin brothers fail to score 14 goals, they must wear the mandatory and visibly showing item of pink color.  

For those of you who are counting, here are the game by game weekly running totals for the Munchkin brothers chase for pink stick bag infamy.  This table will be posted on the website on a weekly basis so that you can all place your side bets and have a good laugh at the Munchkin brother’s expense.

(They need 14-GOALS to beat this challenge)
