He has hands like…
Some would say he has hands like “stones” in reference to Gary “Stonehands” Goodwin… but Joe Shannon turned us on to another ice hockey expression for Gary.
After Joe witnessed Gary executing a breakaway vs Alby Luise (who is giving away goals this season)…, Gary clearly had zero control of the ball and just lost control of it in the corner somehow… Joe said “He’s got hands like feet”
Call him what you want… “Stonehands” or “Feethands” Gary later in the game notched another goal this season and is 9th in fantasy points (and not surprisingly undrafted).
This could be the season we see Gary make his way to center dek to receive his “Over-30 Achievement Award”
Chocking on Pasta
Yes, Gino Tammaro scored a beautiful goal on Billy Gardynski Jr… and we watched the speedy Pisano running all around the dek. But, we suspect that Gino might have had either some Ziti or Fettuccine stuck in his throat cause that Goombah was also “chocking” all game.
We watched a clearly disappointed Angelo “Kato” Deluca (sigh after sigh) as his passes to Gino were shot wide, misfired or hit the glass behind it.
When will it end?
When will it end? When will Shawn Miville stop scoring goals and more importantly embarrassing our goalies?
Shawn had Alby Luise so far out of the net that is looked like Alby was lined up to take a face off. As poor Alby laid helpless face down, counting the little squares on the dek through his mask… it reminded us of the Shawn’s first goal of the season when had Billy Gardynski Sr flopping around.
Hey Shawn when your reign of terror is over… can you at least get the goalie who you abused the most a gift basket for their effort (or lack of).
What makes a Dek HOF’er
You wanna know what it takes to be in the Dek Hockey Hall of Fame… it takes someone like our own Dan Broderick who gave us an insight to his success.
You’ll notice Dan after the game enjoying “Victory Beers” this season instead of drowning his sorrow in “Disappointing Loss Beers” like he did for the previous 4-seasons.
While seeming enjoying both types of brew… Dan is also observing and scouting the teams and players.
When Gino Tammaro came into the league… his first game against Dan Broderick he turned Dan into a turnstile and Dan collected about $4.75 in tolls that day.
Flash forward to their second meeting… and as Gino (approaching the toll at 100mph) was stickhandling and taking .75 cents out of his pocket to pay and pass Dan… The legend calmly dropped back 3-steps and applied his patented stick poke on Gino thus rendering his offensive attack useless.
We asked Dan about this after the game and Dan let us know he studied Gino’s moves and watched his drag and when Gino tried that shit again on the senior defenseman, Dan showed him why the “Real #5” is hanging in Leominster.
You wanna have your name and number hung in Leominster (like Dan)… study the game and in Dan’s case, play for 55-years at a tournament level of play.
Monkey’s off their backs
3-players scored their first goal of the season last week (finally)… First up and beating Jim Barber to the goal column was Steve Oppedisano. Although we suspect that Billy Gardynski Jr was paid off to let the Steve score before Jim.
Feeling the mounting pressure and $20 Bucks lighter in the wallet… Jim Barber got that monkey off his back by notching 2-goals vs Billy Gardynski Sr (More on that later).
Lastly Sergio Costa who quietly pitched a 0-for-6 goal production… he too also bagged a couple of goals to break out of his scoreless slump.
Distinct Kicking Motion
Sure the cynics are going to say that Jim Barber’s second goal of the game was a “Distinct Kicking Motion”… but it wasn’t Jim’s kicking that did the scoring.
While speeding down the right wing with a 2-on-1… Jim was looking set up what would have been a wide open Dominic DeFranciso with a backhand pass. However, it was “Really BIG” Mike Surette and his “Really BIG” size 25 shoe that ended up scoring the goal.
We thought that Jim’s “Distinct Kicking Motion” goal was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Billy Gardynski Sr as he was standing and waiting for the door behind the net to open… was he leaving his post and the game? Nope, he was just changing his stick. Which leads us to wonder why? If anything Mike should have changed his shoes because it was the shoes fault.., not the goalie sticks fault.
Made up BS call
The fix is in… and here’s the proof.
Jim Barber clearly had his best game of the season by scoring 2-goals and 1-assist (that as not credited)… he was dishing off passes like his idol Matty Iannello and fore-checking like it was 2005.
Jim was clearly locked in and trying to notch that 3rd goal for the hattrick when he was blatantly targeted by a disgruntle Referee who did not want to see Jim become a nominee for either Player of the Week awards… and put him in the box for the last 90-seconds of the game thus preventing Jim from completing his mission and forcing the judges to recognize (and reward) his efforts last week.
Treat or Treat
Looks like we are getting a preview of John Mastrocola’s Pink outfit for the 2016 Spring Season… that is once he and his brother fail their current Pink Stick Bag Challenge.
