After 18 Games of hard hitting, heart pounding, cant miss action.... The Tents are your 2015-2016 CAHL Regular Season Champions. The Tents did not make it easy on themselves down the stretch, but they hung tough and got all four points this weekend vs. a Masons team that was playing out the string.
Prior to this Weekends games, The Mugs commanded a one point lead in the overall standings with one game to play against the Kings. The Tents needed three out of four points to clinch while leaning on late season call up goaltender Eric Schlichte, who was playing in his first real game action in over 3 years.
Game One, Saturday, 6 PM. Tents 6 - Masons 2.
This game was weird. The Masons only had 5 players. That means the only rest these men received was the two intermissions. They played admirably, giving the Tents all they could handle, even outscoring them in the third period. To pay homage to their heroic effort, lets take a look at what would happen if Todd had to play 36 minutes in one game.....
Minute 3: This is weird, I need a break. I am supposed to change out. That was written into my contract.
Minute 6: WATER! Can someone find me some oxygen?!?!
Minute 9: My legs feel like Jello, mmmmmmmm Jello.
Minute 12: Intermission, Thank GOD. Let me Just lay down for a second....
Minute 15: Ok, this is torture... They really expect me to move?
Minute 18: What did I do to deserve this, God? I swear I didnt mean to target those small Gulls players on purpose. Karma is for real.
Minute 21: Laments the fact that he never really used that gym membership.
Minute 24: Intermission, calls life insurance company to make sure beneficiary information is complete.
Minute 27: Tries to convince his teammates to play a man down just for a minute or two.
Minute 30: Blurry vision, this is new.
Minute 33:
Minute 36: Wakes up after someone used the defibrillator to revive me. JD is holding out the phone asking "Does anyone want to call 911?"
So yeah, props to the five Masons for doing what I call my own personal nightmare. Not only did they survive, but they played well. Touche. (Begins McDonalds boycott).
****
At this moment the Tents are in first place. One point ahead of those Goddamn Mugs with each having one game to play. Those Goddamn Mugs proved victorious in their game against the Kings. A 4-3 overtime victory. Good for you guys. I'm happy for you. Those Goddamn Mugs reclaimed first. The Tents needed to gain one point in the regular season finale.
Tents 6 - Masons 2, again.
This time the Masons had a full team. They unleashed their secret weapon, Jason Brooks at Center. That proved inconsequential because the Tents led wire to wire, with the MacFarland - Russo - Sousa line grinding the fuck out of the Masons, each potting a goal. Jack Doyle had an impressive effort with a sweet wraparound. I think BLU scored. I cant account for the last goal, Biondo maybe? Michael Russo? Eric Schlichte posted a 2.00 GAA over the weekend, which is admirable in this league. Thanks Sieve!
Anyways, Tents clinched the regular season title, which means SHIT. But it feels nice so back off.
Playoffs start next week.
Kings vs. Mugs
Tents vs. Gulls
Sounds like a party.
Hey Parsons, I have a green jersey, I loaned it to my brother who does not have one. I choose to wear the throwback off colored uniform because I like them. If someone on the Tents has to wear a different jersey than the rest, It might as well be me.
