Area hockey club the Black Aces put in a workmanlike performance in their most recent game, prevailing 6-4 over the Warriors in spite of hitting the ice without any of their highly paid snipers. It was left to the spear carriers, the plumbers, the Joe Six Packs to grind out the victory.
Where are the pretty boys, you ask? Here:
- Joey Himalaya: Nepal, Mexico, the Playboy Mansion... take your pick. Maybe all three.
- Brian M: still recovering from an arm transplant.
- Brian 2: Sheep 'shearing' in New Zealand.
- Art W: Lamas class with the Missus.
- Andrew: Rib transplant (Honey Garlic)
- Mike: post-christmas rehab
The Aces trades deuces with the Warriors all night, falling behind 2-0 early in the first, only to tie it at 2 with seconds to go in the frame. The second period put the black shirts ahead 4-2 for a while but the Warriors fought back to tie the game again. In the third, Aces D man Jeff atoned for a miserable defensive night with a rare goal to put the team up for good, and then the team added another to complete the deuce.
The win helped the Aces maintain their stranglehold on first place in the COTHL and now puts their unbeaten string for 2010 at one game.
Please join the Aces this wednesday as they attempt to keep their streak alive. Just to keep things interesting, not only will the snipers be asked to stay home but the team will be playing without a goalie. Instead, the nets will be minded by a basket of kittens and a small potted plant.
