Foxboro, MA – On a night that Zdeno Charra had his historic first hat-trick of his career, the young Ryan Curchin also made history, by scoring his first goal…for the other team! With the Iceholes pushing hard to even the match, Curchin flipped the puck into the air, much like he does a burger on the McDonald’s grill, directly at the Penguins goalie. This came as a shock to everyone, including Mark Schiavone who was in net for the Penguins.
“The bad news is that I have never had a teammate shoot the puck on me during a game,” admitted Mark after the game. “The good news is, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO!".
With Eighmy out of the lineup for undisclosed reasons, the Provo Penguins rallied in the locker-room before the game.
“Jefe is like the big-toe of the team,” stated Sherwood. “I led the team in a prayer before the game, which I like to call ‘Ode to Jefe’. This seemed to motivate the team. I then proceeded to light candles and incense in order to bring the great spirit of the Huevo into the hearts and minds of each player. It was very moving.”
Although Jefe was out, an injured Johnny G. Wilmot threw caution to the wind, and skated for the first time in weeks, going against his doctor’s orders.
“I was born to do this thing,” he told reporters in the locker room. “Baby blister or no baby blister, this cat is back! And I feel marvelous!”
Hickey led all scoring, by pounding in four goals on the night, which is known in the hockey world as a Chub-Fest. Sniper refused to be out shown, getting 4-points on the night as well with one goal and three assists.
“I like sharing,” Sniper commented. “I share the puck with anyone and everyone. Unlike some people on my line, who only get goals, I get assists. I’m a giver, that is what I am!”
Also in the mele was the ever-young Sherwood who got an assist, and 2-PIM, showing once again that if you skate with the Firm, you will get points.
“Why can’t I get ice-time with those guys,” Tragakis cried to anyone that would listen. “It is obvious my skill and ability are holding me back! Give me one shift with Hickey and Sniper, and I will once again rule the stat sheet! Or at least maybe fall in front of the net and knock the puck in!”
The 6-4 win keeps the Penguins in stride with the first place Scorpions, and may even push them to the top of the division, depending on how the Scorpions did in their match-up earlier in the night.
