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...].
