John A scored twice and Murray had a goal and an assist. Jim had one assist and this one was legit.
That's it for the good news.  The rest is all bad.  Blades did not show up. A game to forget. Harco 5 - Gray Blades 3.  Blades were missing Quigs, Crit, Owen, Kerry, Tom + Andy.  We picked up Rich from John's other league.  Paul Annan played goal for Harco and made some key saves but we should have put more pucks past him.

OK so here's my first crack at updating the blog.

Gray Blades 4 - Hawks 1

Pregame warmup, watching the Leaf's game. They lost.

Standings - Blades are 11-4-1 and in 3rd place. Not quite as good as last year's regular season but the plan is to win the last game this year.

Blades were down 3 players this week with Tom recruiting in FLA, Andy recovering from an upper body injury and Jim out on the street selling things. It took a while for the Blades to get rolling in this game.  Hawks scored halfway through the first period and held the lead until John scored with 10 seconds left in the period.  With 1 goal in the 2nd by Mark and 1 in the 3rd by Quigs, the Blades finished a lot stronger than they started.  Kerry closed out the scoring with an empty netter.

Postgame conversations indicate that Tom got 4 assists + Stone got 1.  Stone continues to lead the Blades in scoring despite having played so few games that he is currently not eligible for the playoffs.

Gray Blades lose 2 t0 1 playing 2 teams!!

With the arrival of the Recue crew , we know we are game on!!

Owen showed up, but probably won't see him again for while, (according to Owen!!)

The wood chopping Lyons with a great deal of help from the Refs and a timekeeper that called the game with 2 minutes to play saying we did not have enough players, just because Jim, Murray and Tom are on Old Age pension doesn't mean anything

Quiggs scored our only goal and then was pushed into the net and he got a penalty!!

next time we play the Lyons I need to double up on the armour  

Manager John Annan congratulated Jim Stone on his 500th career assist!!

Next week we are missing, Tom (scouting in Florida), Andy (upper body injury), and possibly Owen as the league has a hard on for him!!

At least the beer was cold at Jack's!!...and so were the fries, so they did not charge us for them

Don't forget Jim's up and coming Super Bowl party.....Jim pays interest on any cash that you give him towards the pools. Ron Craig usually wins the big pot so concentrate your bets on the little bets, like the Coin Toss ....or what time Cal starts playing the piano!!

Gray Blades defeat the 1st place Urine Pond!!!

Team Manager, John Annan's rigid Holiday Conditioning program paid off as the Pond could not handle our superior strength....only allowed 9 beers a day and one bag of Chips or a Pizza, made us strong!!

Jim Stone had 3 assists, on the 2 goals....he banked it off the boards to himself in the late going and then rifled it over to a patient Chads who used me as a decoy (if only the Goalie knew) and then shelfed it!! The insurance goal was scored by Quiggs  

Reg forgot his sweater tonight and seemed a bit lost and worried about what to do if an empty net opportunity came up!!

At Jack's, Tanya had our reserved table waiting for us in the corner where the anxious Puck Bunnies could only dream of us  from afar

Some of the Puck Bunnies that follow us around....the "Jeff" that is referred to is code for "Stone"
