"This is both good news and bad news" said blogger Jeff after hearing of the possible deal sunday morning. "I'm happy it looks like we will be able to continue to humiliate the other teams in the league like we did last week against the Battlers, but on the other hand I have several boxes full of 'Rob Ford Can Suck It' t-shirts in my garage that I may not be able to sell to city workers now. Then again he still has 2 more years in office, so you never know."
Although terms of the deal were not available at press time, our inside sources (ie. inside my head) have revealed a few of the key details that, incredibly, directly affect the Aces HC:
- Full medical coverage for any player leaving the team due to injury or the effects of advancing age. This clause only kicks in next season, so Andrew, Mike, Neil, Barry, Leonard and Maurice are out of luck.
- Paul F will have his league fees paid in full by the city, but only if he plays in 90% of regular season games
- all bar tabs at Ferro's will be picked up by a special 'Victory Fund' for any post-game 'conferences' held by the Aces, but only if the team wins by shutout. Again, this begins next season so no refund for last week's session after hammering the Battlers 6-0.
- the Aces will be permitted to use any ex-Leaf goaltender as a backup on the nights when regular netminder Raj is unavailable.This gives the team a potential pool of 321 backup goalies, 322 as soon as Andrew Raycroft packs it in.
Rob Ford was also extremely pleased with the outcome of the negotiations. At a press conference this morning, the mayor and sometime Aces coach said "Blah blah blah unions blah blah gravy blah blah blah blah David Miller blah blah blah ferris wheel monorail. Go Aces!"
So, to recap:
Aces 6, Battlers 0
Battlers 2 Hissyfits, Aces 0
Battlers 1 game misconduct, Aces 0
Still no sign of Paul F
Hat trick for Brian M
Rich W's stick bags another one
