Late for Latte?
There he goes again… Not only did he arrive LATE last week for his job. He strolled in nonchalantly with a coffee in hand ready to miss more calls while he sipped his LATTE.
We wonder if former Midas Touch Champion Jon Picard (turned referee) was docked a periods worth of salary… which is probably the equivalent to that fancy coffee.
The Deluca Stick Garden
A few weeks ago we noticed Rick Cassano snap the blade to his vintage Easton Aluminum stick. When Mario Deluca noticed the antique “bladeless” shaft lying behind the bench he commented that “he had the same stick”… but that his Dad used it in the garden to hold up tomato plants.
So now we wonder if Rick Cassano is sneaking into the Deluca Garden to get his sticks before the tomato plants get too high.
The Goalie Whisperer
Kudos to referee Jon Picard for becoming the first ever Over-30 Goalie Whisperer.
First he was seen whispering in Billy Gardynski Jr’s ear after he let up the first goal of the game… our sources say he whispered... “It’s OK, you can’t stop them all”. Jon’s words seemed resonate as Jr went on to stop everything else that was shot his way.
Not to be outshined by his son’s tantrums… Billy Gardynski Sr was soon experiencing technical difficulties in the brain and once again Jon was seen whispering his ear… “It’s Ok, your GAA is 4.0 and you’re just not that good”
Shorthanded Incorporated
Did the referee blow another call? Your team got a man in the penalty box? Who you gonna call? Call the experts at 1-800-PENALITY and Mark Stickney, John Desmond, and Jim Barber will show to your game and score shorthanded goals for your team. These (3) were on the dek for both shorthanded goals last week against Who Needs Superstars.
Mark’s masterful faceoff expertise setup Brien Sullivan’s first goal of the season… then in the overtime with John Desmond fore-checking and barreling down on the defense of Who Needs Superstars… Jim Barber taking a page from Tom Brady’s “How to read a defense mistake” picked off a clearing attempt and dished a beautiful pass to a wide open Mark Stickney at the point. Game-Set-Match!!
An Over-30 Triple Crown Winner?
Have we ever had a Rookie of the Year, League Leader and Season MVP in his first season in the League? That is exactly the pace and season Rookie Mike O’Neil is having. His team is currently in first place… clinched a playoff berth… and with (17-Points) is only 3-points of the league leader John Desmond (20-points)
So long Pinkie
Na Na Na Na… Na Na Na Na… Hey Hey Hey… Goodbye.
More like “Good Riddance” as Jim Barber would like to say to his Pink Stick Bag.
With (3) Games and (9) goals needed it’s almost certain that Jim will be presenting the current challenger Matty Iannello with the Pink Bag in just 3-short weeks. Had Matty not injured himself last year during the challenge… he would have destroyed the 13-goal challenge as he was on pace for a record goals season.
Don’t worry Matty… We are already in meetings discussing whose next on the chopping block for a challenge. Until then… your Mylec’s will be nice and warm this winter.
The Magic Number is...
The Magic Number is 13 for the playoff race. With 14 points, Who Needs Superstars is the first team to punch their playoff dance ticket. For the remaining teams it’s 13-points to get in… unless Legends Last Stand loses, then it’s only 10.
