Grab for Glory

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.
