Gray Blades close out 2016 with a Bang!

Lots + Lots of room in the dressing room tonight.

 Robbo was away so the task of protecting the house fell to Gerry.

 Gordo went down the QEW to a Sabres game. Jim was wining and dining (again). 

 Tom, Dryds and Chads were not able to make the game.

On a positive note, for the first time, both Kerry and Owen played in the same game.      

 Owen got the 1st goal and in the end, that's all we needed as Gerry took care of the other end + recorded the shutout.  Kerry scored twice + singles went to Quigs and Reg.

Gray Blades 5 - Golden Pond 0

We heard that the Leafs outdid the Blades by shutting out the Avs by a 6-0 score.

It was a good night all around + got better post game.

Tanya was waiting for the Blades at Jack Astors with reindeer antlers.

Merry Christmas! 

BTW - Gray Blades are reminded that during this holiday layoff, all players are mandated to follow Jim Stone's turkey fitness program.

See you next year.

More surprising than a Trump Victory!!

Yes Gray Blades lost 7 to 4...HUH!!!!

Well this was the lowest turnout at a Christmas Party we ever had

Only 2 of the girls showed up!!

Jack's was expecting way more folks!!

The food was great and helped us drown our sorrows

Robbo won the best dressed!!

Faster Pete waited for the first time to eat later instead of the dressing room

A Hatrick by Reg, ( the best Japanese Canadian over their guy!!)...probably (Reg) a better golfer too!! Andy scored the 4th goal and we were in striking distance...down 4 to 5...after we pulled the Goalie.....but we pulled him again and had a  bad bounce lead to an empty netter.... down now 6 to 4......well.....we lost 4 to 7.   enuf said!!

Jim Stone's 3 assists were not enough!!

But...we really missed Chads, Kerry, Owen and Murr.....we would have won with 3 lines

Could have, would have should have

Gary Blades dump Erin Mills Classics 3 to Zip!!

The Gray Blades held on to their 2nd place slot in the league with their decisive victory

We had goals by Andy, Reg  and Kerry

Robbo got the shutout

Their Goalie stood on his head and must have stopped 50 shots!!

Our third goal by Reg was a beauty as he took a drop pass from Mark and deked past the D and slipped it into the net ...revenge after so many previous chances!!

Tom had 2 assists which he is donating to Stone so he can stay ahead in the point race!1

we were missing Owen (Touring and Scouting) and faster Pete (Lower body injury combined with lack of Italian food)

At the bar we were surprised that the newly retired Quiggs did not show up????  Huh he can sleep in now !!

Next week we play the early game and have our Christmas Party at Jack's...so bring your babe and park her (him) at my house in case they don't want to watch our game...against the Mimico Wood Choppers!!!

Tanya is ready for us !!!

Yeeccht...Gray Blades lose their first game of the season and fall to 2nd place!!

 Cub reporter Reg's remarks:

The Gray Blades were riding a 10 game undefeated streak this season.  Well that's gonzo.  Gray Blades dominated the game but missed breakaways, hit goal posts and missed can't miss chances.  Game ended up 4-3 for Casey's.  Reg, Owen and Chads got the goals but there should have been a lot more.  Tom missed the game but met the boys at Jack Astors.  He said think about it . . . no Tom, no win. 

But the Blades were missing, Faster Pete, Andy, Kerry and Moi!!

So that may have made the dif ......Apparently Jim Stone had 3 assists
