8/21: Oakland Open Door Policy

Pigs looked strong with an overwhelming 7-2 win last night over long time foe Black Ice. “My first shift was a blur” extolled 1st line centermen Longshore after he scored two goals in the opening 33 seconds of play. “I haven’t scored that many times in under a minute since my Junior year in High School over in Waupaca” he boasted and then blushed. Right wing Tmac matched Longshore goal for goal over the course of the game each netting 3. “It’s nice to see the older guys starting to contribute” stammered 21 year old Tmac with a beer in his mit. In other news Pig rookie Roller Pants (Red Carpet) Mike left the locker room door unlocked with hundreds of Pig dollars, watches, keys, electronics, etc available for the taking. “I closed the door.” He is still on probation.

8/13/2006: Mangler No, Tall Gary Yes

Sunday's no show list included GM, and lead metrosexual, Mangler however Tall Gary was there. Not that this made any difference as the youth movement within the Pig ranks is keeping the team in 1st Place through week 13 at 9-4. New recruit SLR (Slap Shot Rob) has revamped an aging blue line squad and added about 40-50 mph on the aggregate shot from the point. As we moorn the loss of Minnesota Scott the addition of SLR has made the transition much easier. Things got a little scary in the 1st period when goaltender Jeff complained of blood loss. Nothing a tenus shot, 7 stitches and a few hours in an ER waiting room couldn't fix. Pigs won 8-2 in front of a sellout Family Night crowd. See you all next week.
