The Goalie Scored!

Late Saturday Result

Tired of just yelling at his teammates about the back check, Goalie Mich thought he'd show them what he wanted to see out there. Thanks to Goalie Ray tending the net last night, Mich strapped on the normal looking skates for the first time in his pro career. In the process he also set an unofficial team record as the first "goalie" to score a goal and an assist in a single game. Nicely done. Might there be a position change in the future?

The hardest working player award went to Mike last night who did everything for his team except actually score. He skated his rear end off, deflected pucks in front of the net, drew a penalty on High Voltage and even laid the body when it was called for. All of this despite being stricken with the a cold, the squirts, ringworm and other unmentionable and undiagnosed ailments. Nicely done Mike.

Also of note is Russ who also now is the holder of the team record for playing on the shittiest pair of skates in franchise history after his blades were absolutely massacred by the white sharpening machine from hell. "I've never seen anything like it. Those blades remind me of a Sh** I once took!" an unimpressed Rusty was heard saying in the locker room before the puck dropped. In all seriousness, the fact he was able to play on those was really impressive. A lesser man would have hung 'em up. Nice work.

It would appear the Lube Kings are now firing on all cylinders with everyone contributing to a solid effort. Call up Goalie Ray made numerous highlight quality saves last night backstopping his squad to the 9-5 victory. The win now elevates the King's record to 6-5-2.
