Fuckin' skanks

DO IT

5 - 3 Maltz Candy

First period was back and forth...Penalty...Kevin Garrett slapshot...1-0 CBM

Job Job Job...Kevin Garrett changeup...wiffed on by defenseman turned Goalie Derek Rupert 2-0 CBM




2nd half started with Rich Maltz telling goalie Derek Rupert that we are going to get a quick one...how about 2 quick ones...both from Rich M.



"I am coming for you Thornhill!"

All Free Candy the rest of the way...one more by Maltz and a Dan Paladino tally and it was...."OVA BABY!"

Late tally by J. Thorn


Summary: Maltz is a beast...Rupert isnt half bad in goal...CBM has one player...

Game #1...New Season..Old Foe..

Summary:

Crilley is a beast

Victor rowed his boat merrily

Our fill in goalie sucked

Do it!

You Either Get the Joke or You are the Joke. CANDY LOSES

Free Candy = stunned

This game could have been summed up with a few "what ifs":
"What if" Free Candy didn't have 3 of it's 6 skaters playing back-t0-back games?
"What if" Whitbey didn't get thrown out over a phantom "fighting" major?
"What if" the refs took off the Black/Gold goggles?
"What if" we weren't a bunch of turds and could actually play hockey?

That being said, the series is tied 1-1 and Thursdays match-up will settle the score once and for all.



More to come...

Is Tonight the Night?

This Week's Outlook

Free Candy may be in for a long week with 3 of Free Candy's players playing in the Bronze Championship. On Tuesday Jeremy Virgin, Derek Rupert and Dave Menhart will be playing in back to back games which puts alot of pressure on the legs of TJ "Brooksy" Miller, Dan "Potash" Paladino and TJ "The Beast" Doherty legs. Free Candy will be short argueably their best two skaters in Chris Blevins and Patrick Scoville for the final two games of the Championship. The team will need to slow the game down and find another gear if possible. The team's failure or success will rely heavily on the shoulders of 2nd season goaltender Jon Whitbey. Captain Derek Rupert was confronted by the Potomac Hockey League Media and responded with the following comment, "No excuses. Do it!" Man of many words...

*Figure on the Killer Bees to smell blood in the water(or is that honey in the hive...whatever) and try to put the pedal down early on the shorthanded Candy.




It will take a miracle...

Bring Out The Brooms Boys:Candy Wins!

The time had finally come for the championship series with the Bees. In only two seasons in the silver league, Free Candy was able to go from last to playing for the championship. After an exciting game between Red and Green in the Bronze league, Free Candy would get its chance to to take on the hated Bumble Bees.

Out of the gate, it looked like nerves were getting the best of Free Candy. Whitbey looked shakier than you know who early on...

M. Ali wants you!!

...and let in 2 quick goals from Sean "cry me a river" Crilley. Whitbey was able to gain his composure after that and Free Candy was able to battle back. Somewhere in there, Candy takes about 10 penalties back to back and end up being short handed more than Jim Abbott.

During the penalty kill, Menhart pulls the ol' Tj Miller. Throw on the horse blinders and go.
Menhart buries it!! That may be the first time Menhart has been able to do something productive offensively this season. However, 2 min. later, he tries to chop off Eric Chen's, aka Kenny Wu, leg and gets a two min. slashing call.Justin Pargoff, the biggest joke of a referee ever, gives him an extra 10 min. for being awesome. What a turd.

Joke

Pat Scoville had his normal hatrick with a goal added from Tj Miller later in the game. Free Candy had plenty of chances to put this game away, but a cpl of posts and some good saves from the Bee's goalie kept their hopes alive. In the end it would not be enough though, as Free Candy would hold on for the 'W'.

Side Note:The series has the potential to turn ugly with what happened in the last cpl of min. The shouting between the benches was getting pretty heated after incidental contact between Miller and one of the bee's caused the bee to bite it.

And I leave you with this:
