My goodness, my guiness! o tempora, o mores!
Yes, Tuck hockey fans and fanettes, the B-Team took on the so-called Tripod "All - Stars" Wednesday night in an epic battle. Lets go to the highlight reel:
First - the hat tricks. Matt D. "in a box" had at least a hat trick, arguably more. His hockey prowess caused more tripod jaws to drop than an individual of non-male gender walking by.
Second, Tony "Kept Man" C. had a hat trick last night as well, his first hat trick ever. Funky!
Matt D. "in a box" also had quite the spill when he caught an edge, and Frank "Banksy" M. commented that "Gordon Bombay would be disappointed". There were no flying-Vs last night, but lets talk about what else was flying - the s. - hit the f. wiht about three minutes left when 30 tripods took to the ice for what would more accurately be described as a thundering herd of bison taking to the frozen plains. The ploy, unfortunately, did not work, and the B team admirably held them off for a shutout/beatdown.
Honorable mentions go out to Philip "I dont go by that name" F. and Matt "Can't wait to get my" H. "into that". Micah "Ms." M. was hitting people in the face all night apparently, but no one can remember it - that may be because his sample was not statistically significant. He also got taken down by Jess "Beer me a penalty" B. Dane "Beer me that water" C. was quite proud. Ryan "Beer me that beer" K. showed admirable defensive abilities, scoring from the point with his rocket of a slapshot. Shoutouts to the rest of the D: Drew "Flyswatter" W., Oliver "Point break" P., an d John "Alls fair in love and B-team hockey defence pairings" H.
For those of you I missed, do not worry - all in due time... Montreal after the break.

And then there was 1
What do Dead Presidents and Cinderella have in common? Tripod hockey.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Cinderella story this year as the Dead Presidents, heavily outgunned most of the season, came out on top of the dogpile that is Tuck Hockey. Winning the coveted Legge Cup (named after William Legge, 2nd Earl of Dartmouth, supporter of Eleazer Wheelock and father of modern Tripod hockey) means that the undisputed kings of the college are clear. The Dead Presidents played hard, skated fast and put up a great fight against the Bald Bulls, who similarly played hard, skated fast, and put up a good fight, but not good enough.
Fritz "Onward Kashiyama" F. (obscure but oh so accurate nickname) made great strides towards MVP, but I think it was really the goalies who get it. They were peppered more than a Lou's omlette, but still held their own.
Tempers flared up, but Ferd "Cold Hand Luke" D. stayed calm throughout the match, while Paul "Sparkplug" G. kept the energy level high for the Presidents.
AGAIN we go to a shootout. This gave all the fans a chance to catch their breath and have another barley soda out in the parking lot. Drama doesn't not get any better than this, and tension was so high one should have cut it with baking powder.
Frank "Rollie Finger's Child" M. used the same move from the last game with a high strategy quotient, great numbers on structure and culture, but failed in the execution. As the professor says, focus on execution. lesson learned. Next year we look forward to his play.
The final shot meant that the season was over. Its been quite a ride. Keep your heads up and your sticks on the ice. We'll see you at Occam Pond throughout the winter.
Looking foward: Tuck Does Royal Mount (Montreal).....

And then there were 2
The rumors are true, my Tuck hockey friends and fans, the excitement is over. I attempted to liveblog the playoff and championship matches, but I was incapacitated in one way or another. I also realized that liveblogging sounds/is kind of lame.
But lets take a minute here to talk. This season a lot of tears have been shed, as well as blood, leaves, sputum and clothes. I am here to shed something a little different - shed light on the situation.
First we take a look at the playoffs - the Bald Bulls took it to the house against Cobra Kai dojo. A hard fought match, it went into OT and a shootout. Imagine, if you will, a packed house crowded with cheering fans, rocking the stadium as you line up your penalty shot. You skate, and here's your wind up - OH you miss the puck and nearly fall. However in the process of falling, as your body spins around in a 360 more reminiscent of the NBA's slam dunk competition, you regain your balance with just enough time to spare to fire off that one shot that earns you everlasting glory. That, THAT, is what Tripod hockey is about and how the Bald Bulls took it to the championship.
We also saw Frank "Rollie Fingers" M. go for a head fake followed by a backhand to the topshelf for the win to close out the game. As the crowd marveled at his stickwork, Cobra Kai reflected upon their lot in life. Cobra Kai, we mourn thee, but your arrogance earned you this fate.
Dead Presidents, on the other hand, easily coasted on their early goals to a victory over some other team. A late charge by their opponents made everyone feel good so it didn't get awkward later in Byrne.
Women's hockey - This was a pretty good game. I watched it, but my reporter's insticts have not fully kicked in, so I forgot to take notes. The women played deliberately up and down the ice-these are not the freewheeling Tripods but serious professionals of icy demeanor on teams named after 80s sitcoms. Carolyn "CAPM" C. and Abby "Asset Pricing Theory" S. gave their all out there in an exciting match up. Meredith "Hypothesis Tested, Mother Approved" G. and Ali "R Squared" R. pull honorable mentions. Winner: everybody.

Guest Post
Hi Folks,
I invited some guest bloggers to talk about their experience at the girls hockey game. Below is what they wrote, edited to my taste, and with my comments in [ ]. Everything not in [ ] comes from other people
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Monday night, The Golden Girls took on Three’s Company at Thompson. We noticed a few key differences between this game and the Tripod game we caught the night before, namely, there was a lot more “strategizing” before this game. Our understanding of this “strategizing” is that the ladies were catching up on the details from the most recent episode of Gossip Girl. [great show, ps. Blake Lively is our generation's Twiggy] We could be wrong, but this is the inside scoop that we heard.
Three’s Company got out to an early lead and never looked back. The Golden Girls tried to get something going for a while with some great cheerleading both on the ice and on the bench, especially from Natasha “You go (Golden) girl” V. The encouragement was no match for Abby “Lightning” S. who scored about 6 goals (+/- 4) for Three’s Company. So much for lightening not striking twice [sweet pun guys.].
The other main differentiator was that there were fewer spectacular crashes than in the Tripod game except for one involving “Lightning” and an unidentified Mack Truck we’ll just call “Thunder”. [ mixed metaphor]
In our pre-game interviews, we spoke with Fiona “Big Bear” C. who posed toughly (see photo) [unclear what happened to this photo, and also unclear how to add photos to the blog. apologies] . When she took the ice, one of her first actions was to take her skate off. She claimed to have a foot cramp, but the inside scoop is that it was an intimidation technique. We heard third hand that she told members of the other team, “I’ll cut you!” However, on the ice, her gentle Canadian personality [I have never met a gentle canadian, for the record. most canadians i know have actually tried to cut people with their skates or else they talk about how great American malls are.] overtook the mighty threats. We suggest changing her name to Fiona “Bear Cub” C. She talked a good game but we’d like to see that intensity on the ice. We suggest she get some tutoring from Andy “Glass Jaw” N.
In the end, Three’s Company crushed the Golden Girls like Suzanne Somers crushed my heart when Thighmaster commercials stopped running [honestly, never thought Suzanne Somers references would end up on the blog. glad you guys went for it...].

Busy past couple weeks
Sorry blog fans, its been a busy couple weeks and I haven't kept you up to date with the latest news. I can confirm that a Cobra Kai winning streak was kept alive at least until tonight on the tripod front. We'll have much, much more from the tripod games tomorrow.
Tonights topic: Getting Concussed.
Kenneth apparently got concussed during a tripod game, and there is some question as to whether Glass Jaw, who went down twice tonight, ended up mildly concussed. After his second fall, Jana "Tha Bo$$" called the game. The first hit was by the Doc, while the second hit was by Ryan "Friendly Fire" K. Remember, there is no checking on B-team. These were "accidents." Glass Jaw had a tough one last week, being a little sleepy and all, he fell without being hit at least three times.
Matt "Too Tall" D. rubbed out Tony Drama against the boards this evening in retaliation for a hook earlier in the night. The ice tonight was as smooth as a flooded Buch basement room, which explains the fast hockey and aggressive behavior.
Topic 2: Rumors abound
Rumours abound about a bench clearing brawl during a tripod game. Lately I know that Leo "LT" was sent to the box, and I've heard of a few more penalties taking place. "Ichabod" Lud had to take control of the game and separate the disputing parties.
We're going to have a last regular season game special blog post coming up with weekend, with quotes from players, captains, spectators and people how have no relation whatsoever to Tuck hockey.
Topic 3: B-Team bonds over Bud Light pitchers
B team sat down the other night to some bud light pitchers at Murphy's and talked shop. I believe the Muppet Christmas Carol came up once or twice. Dain "The Pain" recalled his swimming glory days while others watched the Giants.

Campion Beat
Tripods looked good out there - it seemed to be another win for Kobra Kai dojo, with a great performance by ironman Charlie "The Rocket" W., who stayed on the ice for the B team game as well. Just don't take a stick through the throat gents - you only get one trachea.
B-Team usurped some ironmen Tripodders to fill its ranks on Sunday night (the late game), but played an incredibly competitive game. Tony "Drama" had a number of goals and at least one temper tantrum, according to eyewitnesses. Ryan "Rescue Ranger" (is it because he's a little CHIPPY or a little daley?.... you decide) lived up to his name after "Glass Jaw" started yappin. A. "Backcheck? Whats that" Lynch gave me a ride to the game so I did not talk about her red hair. John, dubbed"Rockin' Roller Coaster" by Glass Jaw, was taken out of the last ten minutes of the game with a pulled muscle. Drew "Big D" again used his stick to swat away pucks like flies.
HIGH RBV quotient this week with Halloween arriving on a Friday.
Aggressive Behavior - the team chants and Rocky theme song for last night's Tripod winners was pret-ty, pretttttyyyyy, prettyyyyyyy, pretty aggressive.
Takedowns - lots of people fell. I would suggest practicing stopping.
Lax - Someone put Kobra Kai on a Wheaties box - am I right?
Lippers - great banter out there, and true sportsmanship showed after last night's tripod game.
Green and white lined up for gentlemanly glove pounds and a few back slaps after a hotly contested game. We were denied access to the locker room post game, but this reporter believes he heard the sounds of bottles poppin, and perhaps some "take your shirt off, twist it round your head, spin it like a helicopter" action.

Welcome Back from Break
Welcome back from fall break Tuck Hockey followers and fans,
quick update on the B-Team front - a vicious game sunday before the decsi final that saw John "Current Ratio of 1" H. blast a snap shot from the blue line for a tremedous goal. Current Ratio of 1 because when he's currently on the ice, he's an asset for about 30 seconds and a liability for the next 30. (30/30=1). That joke will be my homage to accounting. Moving on.
B Team also saw a "timeout" with about 20 minutes to play after a few of the players got too winded and couldn't see straight. Matt "No Cup" D. definitely saw some hurt out there after taking a shot to his babymaker. Other highlights included Nate "The Skate" B. coming down from that team that shall not be named to swim in the kiddie pool with the B-Teamers.
The Andy "Glass Jaw" N. quote (or more accurately, paraphrase) of the game (or possibly something I made up, you decide) - "Its not like anyone out there is BAD per se, its just that I'm a lot better than they are."
we've added a new section here at Tuck Hockey, a Tuck Hockey Roundup. The strength of the hockey program for the week will be rated by the following qualities on their respective scales. The categories, adpoted from the key factors to social prominence in Washington DC, and their meanings for Tuck Hockey, follow:
1. RBVs - were the participants drinking or partying on the ice or particularly hard that week. In DC, being able to drink RBVs is possibly the most important social skill.
Scale for RBVs: shots of vodka, one being the worst, greater quantities better
2. Aggressive Behavior - measuring the "get after it-ness" of the players. In DC, to be the best, you need to get aggressive.
Scale for Aggressive Behavior: not so much to SO aggressive
3. Takedowns - speaks for itself.
Scale for Takedowns: small (worst) to huge and beyond (best)
4. DC - attendance. You need to be in DC to be social in DC.
Scale for DC: Adams Morgan (worst, and worst neighborhood in DC), Glover Park (medium, a decent neighborhood), Georgetown ( the best)
5. lax (as in lacrosse) - athleticism. The only appropriate sport to have played in DC, MD and VA.
Scale: Not Lax to Super Lax
6. lippers (as in chewing tobacco) - the buzz on campus. You should constantly talk about having these late-night in DC.
Scale - Kodiak (worst) to Skoal (medium) to Copenhagen (best)
The schedule for the week:
Monday night women's and tripod, wednesday night B Team and tripod, Sunday night Tripod and B Team.

Breaking News!
Another stick broken by The Menacing Traut this week in a Bald Bulls match. He reportedly took off his skate and tried to cut a guy. We also saw Cobra Kai's matchup against Mike Tyson. Yes friends, two heavyweights and nemesis from childhood video games and movies battled in the frosty oval in a game of epic proportions. The Tyson's took out Cobra Kai like Little Mac (just Wikipedia it if you didn't get it, I can't do all the work around here). The 5-4 matchup was marked by extreme violence and more than a few bruised egos. Take it easy out there, and remember you basically have knives attached to your feet.
This week also saw a win by the Golden Girls 2-1 over an unnamed opponent. Someday I will get better information on women's hockey (if you play women's hockey, please tell me about it!). Until I get better info, I have to assume the game was somewhat like a Mighty Ducks movie without the dudes.
B Team had by far the best ice time this week but a weak turnout. They call it the little B-Team that could.
A BLOWOUT on the ice this week as the Dead Presidents resurrected themselves to a 4-0 win over the headless horsemen. Fritz "#1 Stunna" F. spent some time in the penalty box for inappropriate behaviour. Word is he mistook the ice for a slip-n-slide. The end of the second period was described to this writer as similar to Ragnarok, since a viking berzerker mentality took hold of both teams (reportedly the heaviest combat was between "McCainiac" George of the DPs and "HW Bush" George of the HH). No valiant warriors were sent to Vallhalla that night, but a few goals were scored as tempers cooled.
Women's hockey had a dinner tonight, and the chicken reportedly may have been a little dry.
Until next time, this is your Tuck Hockey Fan saying "keep your stick on the ice." If you can name that quote without Googling it, I have a prize for you.

Results through lunch
Buzz around the lunchroom for tripod hockey - "joltin joe" Bastian had zero goals during the Dead Presidents v. Cobra Kai match (citing Bastian). Cobra Kai were nimble on their feet as the Dead Presidents were cut down like JFK in a motorcade (too soon? I didn't feel good writing that) Final score 4-3.
In women's hockey, the Golden Girls took on the Facts of Life and it ended in a tie. Just like Dorothy's love life. SNAP - take that Bea Arthur.
B-Team scrimmage left most winded and all sweaty. Many goals were scored. No tears were cried. Andy "Glass Jaw" N. CLAIMED 10 goals and trash talked for the whole hour.
In a Bald Bulls v. Headless Horsemen matchup, L. "The Menacing Traut" Trautwein broke one stick. Unclear about the final score.
And finally the East India Trading Company v. Headless Horsemen test match was definitively settled in favor of the EITC in a 3 to 1 conquering. Lud "Ichabod Crane" captained the Headless Horsemen, while EITC came thorugh with a royally chartered monopoly on the ice. Goals by at least "Captain Crunch" Carson and "Too Tall" Ho, possibly others.

Beginning of 08-09 Season
Season was off to a rockin start with "joltin" Frank Madden and "joltin" Max Grender-Jones being picked for the Bald Bulls. Can anyone say "dream team"?
Rumor has it the top 18 draft picks were given lobster dinners courtesy of their new organizations, but things are already looking dicey for the East India Trading Company and possible trades are being discussed....
