Sunday Night? More like… Funday Night!..

Yeah, that’s never been used before.  Not even sorry, it was an 10:15pm game start, add playtime, beer, inevitable staying awake for a fair amount of time when you get home and voila, sleepy GM that is without care to give to content

Here we go,

The freshly minted 2019/20 roster saw a season opening game vs Oil City.  Never played them before, no scouting report to provide.  Hell, couldn’t even find an exchange-a-gram account for them.  I should teach a course in half-ass attempted beerleaguehockey management.

Speaking of half-assed, after the last winter season was over, I decided that I didn’t want to tote all the jerseys home, and instead let the boys keep them over the summer.  We’ll have the same roster, right?  Faaaack. Beer league management rule #13:  some guys are very particular with their hockey number.  Don’t fuck with this dynamic.  Have enough skins on hand always so they can wear their number.

First period started with us wearing the generic white RCHL jerseys and interestingly enough coming toegther nicely and firing off a record 22 shots at the Oil City net.  I’d say poor goalie but that would be a bold-faced lie.  Rookie Gator Kevin Taylor found the twine for the first 2 bingos of the night thereby throwing down the gauntlet to the other 2 rookies.  Newly married Scradley destroyed a cross-ice pass and rocketed in the third of the period.  Good start.  3-0 Gators, shot count 22-14

Second period saw the leaky defenses on both sides say ‘hold my beer’.   Oil City got back-ish into the game with 2 tallies on 18 shots, Gators continued the deathroll with 5 lamps on 28 shots.  For those following at home, that makes 50 shots after 2 periods.  Derek Teske, another Gator Rook, saw Kevin T’s first period work and went ahead and scored 3 of his own.  Challenge accepted.  Third Rookie Zac Resler didn’t want to be left out on the blue line and squeezed a bingo of his own out of that beauty salad of his.  Eric Mc”RuinNachos”Rae ruined nachos with a slashing penalty near the end of the period, Buckley scored the lone non-rookie goal, and the period ended with 8-2 on the scoreboard and 50-32 on the shot clock.

Third period was where the wheels fell off some.  Probably on account of we’re out of shape facks.  Steak is a vegetable right?  Still managed 18 shot vs the Oil City’s 16.  Problem was none of ours found twine, 2 of theirs did.  Gary was in the room, beer freshly cracked, teeing up the garbage can for a perfectly executed field goal.  F’n Embarrasing.  Not gonna point fingers but the problem may rhyme with Spenny.  Ok, its spenny

Final Score:  Gators 8, Oil City 4  Shots: Gators 68… so close to hilarity, so close, Oil City 48
