Pigs welcome #8 Mo to the Pig rank and file. While we wait for the film to develop you'll have to settle for a picture of Tall MF Gary double barrelling. Ohh and the Pigs won the opener 8-2.

Mangler with the Oakland Cup
Pig great Greenie finally lived up to all the hype following his blockbuster trade to the Los Angeles Global Warmers back in 2005. If you recall the Pig front office sent Greenie packing for little more than a 6 pack of Coors Light after years of misapproriating team funds. "Seems the fees kept going up yet Dave never drank Beer or gave money to Fast Eddy" said one unidentified Pig who spoke only on grounds that his identity be protected. "Just didn't believe in Beer or Bums" said another. Regardless Dave's hockey skills were never in question. "There never was or never will be a 'shawdow' as good as Dave...he's the best." It only took 3 years for Greenie to showcase these skills for the underdog Global Warmers in the 2008 playoff series that had the team locked up in shootout. The GW were down to their 9th skater after OT and the first 8 skaters couldn't decide a winner. The coach gave Greenie the nod and he lit the lamp. Word has it Greenie drank a neer beer after the game. Congrats Dave!

Mac stays onside......Nets GAMEWINNER!
C-H-A-M-P-S! That's right all you Swine faithful, the Puck Pigs have done it again. Can you say "3 peat". That might be getting a bit ahead of ourselves but hey, here's hoping. Pigs make it 2 in a row for the winter season. After starting out in a rather slow fashion (1-4) the mighty swine showed what it takes to hold onto the cup.....or water bottle, your choice. The playoffs are all but a memory now but those are memories that will last a PAPI lifetime. Many stories were told feasting on Dino's meat.....I mean dogs and lots of beer was in attendance as well. You would be hard pressed to find anything but laughter and smiles in Fast Eddy's parking lot. With that said let's get on with it......
The night started out with 13 skaters, some with flu like symptoms and others with fire in their eyes. Papi got the night going with giving the Lem some sound advice, "rub this butter on you stick Lem, I think it will help you with the puck." With no real comeback to that, the Lem did just that. Seemed to work. What did work though was the Pig hockey we have come to know an love. After beating the Prarie Puppies 6-4 on Saturday the Swine took it upon themselves to end it, so we could all watch game 5 between the Sharks and Calgary. "Let's not let it get that far and end it." PG was heard telling the troops in the locker room after we were told we might have to play game 3 on Thursday. So at 8:45 when the puck dropped the Pigs went to work. You couldn't find a flaw in the Pigs strategy. Langley was going to be marked, Pipes promised a shut out sometime this season and Mangler left the Lem to get his labia healed. Well after a few shifts the Pigs found themselves in a bit of a pickle with T Mac getting aquainted with the sin bin. 4 penalties in the first 20 minutes of play....now in his defense where in the rule book does it say a player will be given a delay of game for not shutting the door to the penalty box? Still trying to figure that one out. Did I mention that T Mac got back most of his gear from some "tweeker" from El Sobrante? Only cost him 2 Jackson's.
Now that the game is underway the Pigs finally settle in.....the cycle is working we are getting some big shots from the point with PG, TG, and Papi....Lem needs a clinic from Papi. The forwards are working hard on the forcheck to keep the Puppies guessing. Dino with his pattented triangle was all but unstoppable. First period though saw the tally board at 0-0.
Now into the second.....Started out a bit rough. First few minutes minus T Mac kept the Pigs on their toes with trying to avoid the BIG GOAL. As usual Pipes stepped up steering and covering anything that got close.....Can you say BRICKWALL! Well more of the same with the Chip and Flow strategy. Centers Herrick, Longshore and RPM dominated in the faceoff circle. Dennis even managed to stay out of the box....must be the new haircut and bag. This is also the period where Lem and K Rose were talking about how bad ass TMFG was stoning Langley with a poke check at the blueline. Many of us got our heart rates up when that all went down but Gary was as cool as a jewel. Oh yeah and this was the period where Papi could be heard...after he gingerly skated toward the box where T Mac was saying "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" T Mac got the message. Think he may have heard this before. Anyway more of the same in terms of Pig strategy. Ended 0-0.
3rd period and a lot of excitement. Mac was seen really pressing here trying to get the monkey of his back. Rosey could be heard "come on Mac" with words of encouragement. K Rose.....does he even talk? RPM showed what it takes to play in this league and did so by bringing up a lung on the bench. Dino asked him if it was the chemotherapy or something he ate but even at 50% RPM can still bring it. Robb showed what his new fortay is and that is winning in the circle. I think he was 80% or better....we are still waiting for the official tally. Pipes, well what can you say after stopping 3 different odd man breaks and pulling his own personal Houdini out there.....the ref is still looking for the puck. K Rose almost pulls off the penalty shot, Longshore still not in the box, Mangler laying some punishment on Langley and well the D is still helping to hold this to a goose egg. Period ends same as the first 2. 0-0
OT BABY! Rules are simple 9 minute running and 1 minute stop. the Pigs would only need 6:36 to get it done. The OT started off rather shakey for our boys in black. Pipes probably faced 5 to 6 shots in the first 2 minutes but held strong and kept dreaming of the first shut out of this season. Pipes faced down a 2 on 0 30 seconds later with a fast glove that all but sealed his legacy as the greatest netminder in Pig history.....can you say CAT! T Mac showed that this game is about heart and desire....gave up the body on a sure goal by the Rat all alone in the slot with 4 guys screening Pipes. A lot of chip and flow and neutral zone battles. But the play of the game and the one that will always be remembered by all was the wicked glove down by T Mac deep in Pigs zone that found its way to Mac's stick.....here is the official call by Johnny in the stands, after he was done making out with his girly. "Langley gets it deep into Pig territory, Papi moves to the slot to cover, TG takes Langley deep to the end board, puck shoots up, gloved down by T Mac, he has a man breaking, T Mac puts it off the half board to Mac at center ice, the Rat tries to coral it, Mac has a step, HE'S ONSIDE ,HE SKATES IN, DEKES LEFT, SHOOTS, TOP SHELF.....PIGS WIN PIGS WIN. Can you belive it, there is pandamonium with this sellout crowd of 2.....UNBELIEVABLE." In other news The Kid was a healthy scratch taking one for the team. Family first and that is all I have to say about that. And the rest is what they say HISTORY! Great job boys, see you in 2 weeks. Need to plan a boys celebration PG style.

Kid hangin with his favorite Princess...Nice win fella!
4/12: 2008 Championship Game 1
Who'd thunk the Pigs would only be able to muster 9 guys on a Saturday afternoon for championship hockey? That was the case: Kid, Gracie, Herrick, Pipes, Tall Gary, Papi, Tori, Mangler, Dino, and Mac suited up to take on the Praire Dogs. With expectations low the team decided to grind it out. Mac struck first...followed by Dino to the tune of a 2-1 lead midway through the 2nd. From there it was all Tmac and his rental skates who finished with the last four goals capping off an improbable 6-4 win over the heavily favored yet Langleyless Praire Dog team. Game two on Tuesday.
4/10: Playoffs Round 1: Pigs (#2) v Fat Guys (#6)
Having earned a 1st round playoff bye, the Pigs eagerly awaited the outcome of the #6 Fat Guys vs #3 PBR squad. To everyone's suprise the Fat Guys won and earned the right to play the Pigs. Pigs win 6-3 and advance to the finals to defend their 2007 title vs the #1 Praire Dogs.
4/3: Pigs Loose Last Game of Regular Season...Denny blows a gasket
The #1 Praire Dogs handed it to the Pigs in the last game of the regular season. The Pigs struggled as Tmac's rental skates left him without an edge. Denny Longshore couldn't keep his cool down the stretch and received a two game suspension that will likely keep him out of the playoff for some time. On a brighter note not so New Guy Peter Grace celebrated his birthday with the Pig faithful...Molsen style. Happy Birthday Pete!

Pigs continue to roll with a sound dismantling of the Chuds to the tune of 4-1 before a season high one fan last night in Oakland. It was the first game back for Mangler who had been nursing a nagging labia pull since week #3 when he got into a pre game hallway tussle over a tube of Grecian “forever young” hair product. The Pigs have one regular season game remaining and look to have the inside track on the #2 seed entering the playoffs. In next weeks blog we will discuss the concept of the Ultimate Pig. In the mean time here is a little diddy from Tmac

Where did we leave things…ahh last January…the Pigs were in Dead Last at 1-4. Captain Mac had just sent out a nasty gram to the league regarding the officials. Things looked pretty bad. On January 10th, Papi had yet another Don Cherry motivational moment in the locker room. Can’t remember what he said however the results over the past few months have been fantastic:
1/10/08: Win, Pigs (5) Mavericks (3)
1/20/08: Tie, Pigs (6) PBR (6)
1/24/08: Tie, Pigs (3) Ghost Tigers (3)
1/31/08: Win, Pigs (5) Prairie Dogs (4)
2/7/08: Win, Pigs (5) Chuds (1)
2/18/08: Win, Pigs (8) Mavericks (3)
2/21/08: Tie, Pigs (2) Chuds (2)
2/28/08: Loss, Pigs (4) Prairie Dogs (5)
3/6/08: Win, Pigs (5) PBR (4)
3/13/08: Win, Pigs (6) Ghost Tigers (1) Dino’s fight clip
3/20/08: Win, Pigs (3) Mavericks (1)
That’s 7-1-3 for those who have trouble with tallys. The marks include one of the most fantastic come back wins in Pig History (trailing 4-0 after the 1st period the Pigs rallied to win it 5-4). The Pigs now sit in what looks to be 2nd place at 8-5-3 with a couple games to go before the playoffs.

The infamous Puck Pigs beat the Prairie Dogs 5-4 to jump to a 3-4-2 record.
Most impressive is the fact that the Swine won the game with out two of their more famous stalwarts TMac and Papi.
The MacDonald Brothers were forced into alternative engagements but were still able to send the following message to their Pig teammates. Please pay special attention to TMac's half ass attempt at Meat Puppet with burnt back bacon and the fact that he hates kids who use calculators at the Foley electrician classes!
Click for message
Way to go swine. Special props go out to the Swine subs who scored 4 out of the 5 goals.

In the aftermath of the latest Pig loss the League handed out suspensions to a few players. It was clear after the game that a head butt from an opposing Maverick would draw some league attention however surprisingly the spoken word carriers equal punitive weight when it comes to Oakland managment. Here is the hero's letter writen by the Pigs own Mac:
Just to clarify. A verbal abuse receives the same punishment as a physical abuse? In fact a verbal abuse receives the same punishment as an egregious act of violence? Just want my team to know that if they cuss out a referee or head butt someone in the face with their cage they only need to worry about missing one game. Am I assuming too much that at two hand slash to the ankle, cross check to the neck or spear to the nuts will also just be a one game suspension??
You guys are wacked. Get a hold of your league and send the right message.
Perplexed and pissed off,
Mac
The Pig rank and file respond with the following policy as pitched by player favorite Lemon:
1) If you have a beef with an officials call immediately inform Mac. SAY NOTHING! Just skate ever so gingerly over to the box and let Mac handle it.
2) If you feel the need to strike something try counting to 10 first and then DO NOTHING! Let Mac handle it.
3) If you feel you are being treated unjustly by the officials SAY NOTHING! Let Mac handle it.
Suggested penalty to infracting SWINE should be BEER to the TEAM for each infraction. If you want to persist you should then be assigned MEAT.
Strong work boys.

The final score was something like 6-2. Poor everything really. "Thanks for taking that monkey off my back Lemon" summed up the night when Herrick called out to the Lem after an ill fated "Lemon Drop" in the 2nd period. Not that this blunder had any impact as the Pigs were lethargic and lacked any creativity with or without the puck and just kinda stunk. The night did however have few a flashes of brilliance: TMFG going coast to coast like butter and toast, Fraser strapping the pads on, and Pipes bringing some tastie beer. Other than that is was business as usual...Longshore screwing up the beer bitch list, stat sheet not updated, subs not bringing beer (RPM), Herrick losing the room key, and the Kid still a top the heap in Pig scoring for the 2007-8 season.

Lots of changes in the offseason Piggies:
-Sharks management takes over the Oakland Ice Centre
-Dennis Longshore assumes “responsibility” for both Stats and Beer
-USA Hockey rules trump the former Oakland house rules
-Vasectomies ravage a once viral and potent Center core
While all these things can’t be considered bad what should awaken even the groggiest of Pigs is the fact that coming off a Summer Champion Series loss to the vVault team the Pigs are sporting an impotent 1-2 record. That’s not the worst of it...worst yet is the Kid leads all Pigs in scoring with 3 goals and 2 assists. Get your act together boys…this is unacceptable. Get your affairs in order and let’s get er’ done!

Well with only a handful of Swine available for last Thursdays contest this Thursday should bring new hope to the Bacon faithful. Rumor has it that feisty Centerman Longshore had a bad case of the "sprained Labias" Word on the street is that he got his shot of Penicillin and is all better. Hopefully he will get on the ball and start assigning duties as he said he would.....not that easy is it. Kid knows all to well how hard it is to run a spread sheet. Thanks for taking it on all those years. Dennis you are now the MAN! On to Pig hockey. You know how there are just some things you have to see to believe well we have one of those moments. I have it on good authority that Rob pulled the Ultimate "Anal Bleacher" commonly referred to as a "Lemon Drop". Anyway as Papi always says "never up the middle unless you are 200% sure you can get it there". Turns out Rob was only 100% sure and that was the straw that broke the camels back. Pipes did what he could to save Rob from utter humiliation but that was not to be. Thanks Rob for joining the Lem's team, we always have room for more. It is said that someone overheard one of the refs talking and that he said "I've never refed a game before but I did stay at a Holiday Inn" This is neither confirmed nor denied by Ian but our legal team is looking into it. As for the rest of you knuckleheads who missed last game make sure you bring your A game so we can get back on top.....Lem is also guilty of absenteism so I will bring at least 220lbs. if I can swindle a trade at work. Be safe boys.

Pigs did everything wrong to lose game 1 of the Summery 2007 finals against the #1 seed vVault squad Sunday night to the tune of 3-0. Don Cherry should be available Thursday night for game 2. Let's get er done.
In other news Greenspan has surfaced. He has taken on the case of the girl seated in the chair. Seems the hooded muslim TSA agent (that to me is unbelievable) probed her illegally just moments after she finished up searching the nun. Let's all give Greenie our support.

TMFG struggles with moral dilemma! Oh ya and Pigs Win 3-1.
