2's ARE WILD AS BLACK BEATS WHITE 7-5

 BLACK WIN 7-5, 2's ARE WILD AS WHITE CAN'T PLAY TEAM HOCKEY

Hello you lazy blog  responders and welcome to another edition of Kid Mercury's Hockey Blog. Before going any further I want to grab your attention, and not with a cheap shot hit "a la Raffi Torrez", not with a "Ugliest player in the league award", that is easily  won by Boston's  Brad Marchand, and certainly not with the skill Dr. Paul showed in his second goal last game into an abandoned net, although for a guy who misses so many games I'm glad Paul scored 2 goals and is up 2 on me in our friendly" wager for the scoring race (between us), either way you all get to profit from the loser who will buy a case of "Premium" beer at our season finale bar b q..now this should grab your attention ....

KID MERCURY'S HOCKEY POOL UPDATE: Walker's Kings lose their first game, so no sweep and no extra half point, same for Wil and Jean's Flyers and it looks like Luongo is "history", which I love because I never thought he was so good and I really hate Vancouver, GO SENATORS!!..Oh DID YOU BOYS WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN OUR GAME ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...OK I WILL WRITE A BIT BUT BECAUSE SOME OF YOU CAN'T READ TOO MANY WORDS HERE IS A SHORT VERSION OF MY BLOG..Please use the comment pencil at the bottom and at least write that you read it you .. CAN THE PENS COME BACK FROM THE BRINK, WHAT DO YOU THINK, "JUST "COMMENT"








IF THIS WERE A CARD GAME 2’s WOULD BE WILD.
FOR THE BLACK TEAM HERE IS A LIST OF WHO SCORED 2  GOALS:

CHRIS YATES, KEVIN “BOOM BOOM” D, PAUL CHRISTIE AKA DR. PAUL, DR. RAOUL AND DR. SHOOT INTO AN EMPTY NET CHRISTIE

THE ACE IN THE SCORING WAS ROUNDED OUT BY A WICKED BACKAND SHOT BY SPEEDY ANDREW...  So 7 goals for the Black team !! I won’t mention any of the White team’s goal scorer’s because we should be punished for our poor performance  (no mention of who scored, including yours truly) and here is a group complaint, I am just the messenger... THE SEDIN’S ON OUR TEAM, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE...ONE OF YOU (yes you) SHOULD LEARN TO PASS THE #####**##*#* PUCK, BECAUSE BETWEEN YOU AND I AND THE OTHER GRUMBLING MEMBERS of our team, it’s a team sport, but then again you can’t teach an old dog new tricks apparently...well now that I got that off my chest..lets get back to the game.

Ed played another strong game for us, Apparently this photo above hung in his bedroom has been inspiring Ed's new "HARD PLAYING", whatever works for you Eddie the Eagle"... our “D” was left alone often because many forwards forgot that hockey is a two way game..Forecheck and BACK CHECK !!.... STEPH our goalie looked like he was enjoying skating out of the crease for most of the game, and Jimmy was solid but we missed alot of chances, really we didn’t deserve to win so for those of you  who were on white last week , bring your “A” game this week please.

DAVE WISHART SHUNS HIS OWN LEAGUE

In a shocking move Big “Dave” showed up to collect the big $$$$$ but then left to play his final game elsewhere in his winter league...Oh well at least he shows his loyalty...and besides would he have helped our white team with his stellar defense and sliding like a red bull crushed ice competitor  “Damn Right”..ok we forgive you.  SO THAT'S IT FOR NOW ABOUT TO WATCH PITTSBURG GAME 5, AND HOPE THE PENS CAN DO WHAT ONLT 3 TEAMS HAVE DONE BEHIND 3-0 in a series..WIN, WIN WIN WIN....SEE YOU GUYS ONTHE ICE,  PEACE AND LOVE,  KID MERCURY#11 AKA "THE RUSSIAN SNIPER"  Question of the night is this My Pin up?? 

Natalia Kovshova - Woman Russian sniper - 167 kills

Very brave woman,in 1942 her and her partner ran out of bullets-they pulled the pins on their grenades and ran to the Germans killing themselves as well as the Germans, thus saving alot of Red Army soldiers. There are many stories and mysterious tales of Natalia including the most bizzare one, as written here below.....

She had many wild dreams, including coming back in the next life as a male "Hockey player" in a beer league, sporting a Russian Hockey Federation  jersey and a nickname "The Russian Sniper", but those rumors have not been confirmed, although apparently there is a "Russian Sniper" playing in Montreal today , but his identity is a bit of a mystery, although he plays hockey with the same passion that Natalia had for her cause.

HARVEY THE HOUND

A speechless Harvey The Hound peers into the Edmonton Oilers bench after head coach Craig MacTavish, centre left, ripped his tongue out. Harvey the Hound may be the NHL's very first mascot (he was created in 1983), but he’s better known for being, well, really bad to the bone. For instance, during a playoff game in 1989, Harvey ripped up a Vancouver Canucks jersey. But on January 20, 2003, after nearly two decades of taunting the opposition, Harvey the Hound was finally paid back for his crowd-pleasing antics With the Flames leading the Edmonton Oilers 4-0, the six-foot-six, 200-pound Harvey positioned himself behind the Oilers bench and began pestering the losing team. It worked too well. Oilers players squirted water on the mascot, and Oilers coach Craig MacTavish took it one step further and shut him up -- literally. MacTavish ripped out Harvey's signature floppy red tongue and threw it into the crowd. "(Harvey) was in a place he shouldn't have been," Flames spokesman Peter Hanlon said. "Usually he's our seventh man, but this time perhaps he went too far." MacTavish's actions seemed to spark the Oilers. They scored three goals, but still lost 4-3. Inside info: Harvey the Hound is also the former mascot of the Calgary Stampeders.
