Big Dubya for the Mighty Pigs

So the Kid has let the Lem handle this weeks posting. Gotta say I am no where near the literary icon as the Kid but hey we have to learn to crawl before we can walk right? Well as usual the Mighty Pig Nation was on hand thanks to PG's folks rolling in from Calgary. "You call that hockey, I call that a nail biter" touted Father PG. "I thought I was looking at the Flames out there on a Stanley Cup run" Mother PG was quoted telling the Daily News in Calgary. "The boys really showed me something out there tonight" goaltender Jeff was heard telling his wife via cellphone. Some of the Pigs gotta a little down early thinking that Jeff thought we might be playing shuffleboard as opposed to ice hockey. He will be the first to tell you that a few got by that should have been saved. "I think he just got confused out there being the net was moved up about 5 feet" quoted Minnesota. Where was Pittsburgh? Oh yeah basking in the glow of the Bus' man sauce. Justin was MIA on Sunday but after a group vote the Pigs decided to let him play on Sunday vs. the Grizzy Horseman with no fine to be incurred except maybe some Fast Eddy money. After a dismal 2 periods the Pigs finally found a way with an inspiring talk from team captain Mac. "You can do it" echoed the Points leader for the Pigs. The Pigs took advantage of a 5 on 3 and Rosey buried it early. "That got the party started" Herrick said. "The Mangler was doing his best Bobby Orr impersonation by posting a pair of assists" K Rose was heard telling the Lem Q side. Now if the Pigs could remember to bring their A game on the 12th this could be the run of all runs heading into the playoffs. The Pigs are hoping that the one month layoff following Sundays game will be the spark and road to healing that they need. One thing to keep in mind though all you faithful Pig followers....The Kid may seem quiet and peaceful on the exterior but boy can he pack a wallup. I counted 3 beheadings Al-Quaida style in the first period alone. Be safe my Swine and see you for family day at the arena on Sunday.



Goaltender Jeff earns the first PIG award for his Bill Buckner ole in the 1st period. Congrats!
