It was affiliate night for the Gators this saturday.
This games opponent: rematch against the Ice Dogs. WTF is an Ice Dog? Can an Ice Dog lick its wounds and not have its tongue stick to itself? Do they still need to pant in order to sweat? Do they even sweat considering they're already ice? So many questions. Who names these teams anyways.
Anyways, a few original Gators (great hockey team name by the way) had prior commitments so a few guys stepped up. Taillon strapped on his old pillows, and McRae dusted of the old rotary phone to call up some affiliates. A full dressing room later and the Gators took to the ice.
Less than a minute in Toothwork found the net with his 9th of the season. Brock followed up with his third and the race was on. The dogs licked one in shortly after, then the Gators found the net 3 more in compliments of newcomer Buckley, and a pair from Scrads. I'm sure the puck just head rumors Scrads was that "Guy from Nantucket" and decided the net was the best place to hide. The dogs tallied once more before the end of the period to make it as close as it was gonna get. I'm sure Taillon was just a little rusty.
Second saw the Gators add to the lead with another 4 goals. Landis did was Landis does and scored twice and left it at that. Brad got the hatty, and Ross netted his second of the game. The Ice Dogs goalie discovered the fetal position at about this point.
Third saw the time quickly roll-on and the Gators finish the game with a 10-2 final. Yowza
Jordan Taillon gets the W and #GatorOfTheGame
