Three is a magic number. Three zero’s, three goals, and an ill timed five on three all proved too much for the Pigs in the semi final playoff game against the C.H.U.D.S. Minus T-mac (see Jack Johnson) the Pigs jumped out to a 3-2 lead thanks to Pig legend Obus who willed a goal and two assists. With time running out in the 3rd and the Pigs on a five on three advantage disaster struck. As Papi tells the story Pete missed him by a mile (several meters) finding none other than #88 playing the top of the three man defensive triangle. 88 was off and ultimately hauled down by Pistole Pete himself to the tune of a penalty shot. Pipes got a piece of it however with 3 minutes to play the game was tied 3-3 and ultimately went to OT. With the clock reading 0:00 in the OT frame the puck found its way into the Pig net. After a brief conference with the scorekeeper the goal was allowed and the Pigs sent packing after a heart breaking 4-3 loss.
The game marked the last of Dennis Longshore’s 13 year career as a Pig. Dennis has decided to retire citing rising fuel and glass expenses. The Wisconsin native will be remembered for his long shifts and late emails. We’ll miss you buddy! Good luck in San Jose. Lemon is slated to take his coveted #2 line Center position after more than a decade patrolling the blue line.

8/6/2008: Pipes v John Muir
Pipes lead the Pigs to a much needed ‘dubbya’ last night by posting a shutout against the Prairie Dogs. “That was some good water Kid...thanks for the bottle” Pipes was overheard after stopping 40 shots on the night. What Pipes didn’t know was that he was drinking Hetch Hetchy water…that’s right…none of that East Bay MUD crap he was sippin on last week when 7 pucks found their way through his pads. The water he had last night was the secret ingredient we’ve been looking for down the stretch. Back to the game…without regulars Papi, Tmac, Dino, Lemon, etc the Pigs and a small compliment of geriatric Blazers were able to burry a couple goals and hold off the Dogs including a full two minutes of 5-3 hockey (thanks to Mac’s little tantrum). The return of Mo from a nasty case of bursitis saw him score the 1st goal early in the 1st period in what would ultimately be a 2-0 game. “I saw this really old fat guy streaking down the ice…I couldn’t tell if it was Mo, Dave, Dave, Evan, or Obus” recalled Mac as he set up the game winning tally. Tall Gary didn't have any "helpers" however he did have a good game. Thanks Gary!
