Player 1: hey, nice pass on that last shift, pal. Right in my skates, just where I like it.
Player 2: Really? How about next time I put it up your ass, where you really like it.
Player 1: I'll kill you!!
(bench fight ensues)
Player 3: Hey, buddy, you ever hear of backchecking?
Player 4: You ever hear of shutting the fuck up?
Player 3: I'll kill you!!
(bench fight ensues)
Player 5: Hey, nice shift out there bud.
Player 6: Really? Uh, thanks.
Player 5: Not really. You suck.
Player 6: I'll kill you!!
(bench fight ensues)
and so on.
Drinking Buddies. Not that there's anything wrong with that. |
The Aces, who are all BFFs and long time drinking buddies, sailed through the game with nary a cross word between them. So polite were they in fact that they graciously spread the scoring around as much as possible in their 7-2 win over the Battlers. Scoring for the Aces (in no particular order): Gerry, Al, Bruce, Andrew (recently returned from hip replacement surgery), and three other guys I can't actually remember. Sorry! (Aubrey maybe? Ralph?)
Also back for the game was Joe P, keeping an eye on his on-ice investment and putting a foot down on Canadian soil for tax purposes. It was good to have both Joe and Andrew back in the lineup. No word yet on the return status of Mo, Neil, Mike, Leonard or Barry.
The Aces Blogging Department would also like to send a special namaste/hello to Jane in Kerala India, our most far-away reader and mother of Joe P. We are most pleased to keep you up to date on the very important events of the Canadian sports scene. If you have to explain it to your neighbours just say it's like field hockey without the skirts. Except for the Battlers. Hiyo!!
