1/30/06: Pigs Dip below .500 (6-7-1)

In the midst of a 2 game slide the Pigs had little to be excited about after loosing to the Fog 8-5 last night. "It’s Kate’s fault…I told her she had to do her homework if she wanted to come to the game" said Mac about his 8 year old daughter Kate who was supposed to attend Pig Family night. Apparently Kate didn’t finish her book report on time and kept the entire McClure clan at home. “Rules are rules.” Mac turned in his performance of the year having a hand in 4 of the 5 Pig goals including a hat trick. Mac pointing the finger towards his own flesh and blood largely in part due to Pig Family night’s past. Seems Mac turns in superhuman performances when his family shows up. In 2004 he logged 25 penalty minutes for his girls. In 2002 he had a 5 goal night to the delight of his cheering wife. With a tear in his eye Mac left the locker room and said with Schindler eloquence: “If only she finished that diorama I could have scored 7 goals.”

Family Night 2006: Tough to set a new attendance record when Mo doesn’t bring his wife and 5 boys however a good turn out nonetheless. Thanks to all the wives, girlfriends and kids for supporting the team. Props to Obus for the off ice hat trick (Beer, Meat, Fast Eddy). Lemon for the table, grill, and sweet 50s style hat. Finally to Jeff’s wife for untangling those balloons!
