Shunning the traditional approach of putting forwards on the forward line and defencemen on defence, the Aces decided to roll the dice by sending two of their top D-men to a line with veteran centre Rich W.
"Putting only forwards on the forward line is so last century" said team semiotician and Roland Barthes scholar Bruce H "These ossified structures have ceased to have any validity in the post postmodern era and so we reject them in favour of something more fluid, more dynamic, and ultimately more satisfying."
The Aces' post post modern gambit was only partially successful, as they earned a 4-4 tie with their cross town rivals the Warriors. Also, 3 of the 4 goals came from Aces forward Ralph R, who apparently did not get the memo about the new configuration, and who may not have read the week's assigned reading, "A Semiotic Analysis of Modern Ice Hockey Positional Configurations in Recreational Amateur Competition" by Ferdinand de Saussure. The other goal was scored by your scribe and temporary right winger, who did read the assigned reading, albeit 18 years ago in university semiotics class.
Between the pipes for a second straight week was team dance instructor Aubrey S, whose off-ice work with the Toronto Blue Jays' fielding coach paid off in at least one nice catch.
