Ugly win for the Fudge packers. |
| Week 4
The 1-2 Fudgesicles were desperate for a win, but they were going up against the 3-0 first place Snow Cones. There was only one thing to do, and that was to tie up goalie Mike Bocoozi and leave him in the back of Rick Breed's Audi, leaving the red team without a goalie. "Gee Al, that sucks about Cooz," said Breed casually. "He's usually good about calling. Maybe he just got tied up this morning." With only 9 skaters, one would have to suit up and play net. All 9 guys voted, and Brendan Bruner was given the nod. "Steve Hardy actually got the most votes, but he said the only way he would play goal is without a mask," said Peterson. So Bruner jumped in net, and then there were 8.
The 8 did a decent job of keeping up with the freshly upgraded navy team which had a full compliment of skaters. After new guy Rob Chuilli scored after being spoon fed by Mark Melito, the red team got goals from Steve Hardy and Jack Gavin to take a 2-1 lead into first recess. That's about all the legs the Snow Cones had though. The next five goals belonged to the Fudgesicles, with Melito figuring in 4 of the 5, so he says, as they skated away with a 6-2 win. Tony Maffeo picked up a pair of assists, pretty much by mistake. Jumbone Teal was useless, as was John Teal. Tripp had the all important Kotex point with 2:00 to play, and Ted Miller put himself on the Cold List by taking a 100 foot shot at the buzzer, and hitting an Angry Jack Gavin while the red team was lining up to shake hands. "Our coach says play to the buzzer, that's what I did," said a defiant Miller. After the game everyone on the red team was badgering Peterson about why the navy team got the new guy with the yellow helmet who had four points.
