In spite of some off-season acquisitions, the Wyse Guys were simply no match for the blackshirts, whose defense corps repeatedly repelled the speedy newcomers on the red team. When the Wyse Guys did manage to break through for a shot on goal, Aces netminder Raj Chockalingam was there to make the save in (almost) every case.
6 forwards and 4 D looks to be a good lineup for the Aces, as there were no embarrassing line change screw-ups, and the general fitness level seemed to be good. This may be due to the rigorous high-altitude training camp run by team sherpa Joey Himalaya, who flew the entire team over to Nepal at great personal expense this past June. It's either that or the EPO provided by team pharmacist Aubrey "The Chemist" Spring. Either way, the Aces looked good.
Goal scorers on the night: Andrew, Art, Al, and Mike, in no particular order except maybe in order of handsomeness. I'll leave you to decide whether that's ascending or descending order.
Regulars Brian, Paul, Brian2, Ralph, Bruce and Barry were absent as they were busy attending the Fashion Cares gala event at the Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. See you next week, girls?
Since the team began the year in peak form, we should be just about hitting our stride by Christmas. Which means that come playoff time we'll all be 5 pounds heavier and totally out of shape, but totally kicking ass... on the golf course.
