Walpole, MA – The Penguins ran straight into a wall last night, falling into the Wings game-plan, and taking a pounding from their divisional leaders. In the first meeting between these two teams, the Penguins played physically and skated away with a win. Last night, the Penguins tried to match them finesse-wise on the ice, and limped-away with a 6-1 loss.
“It is ultimately my fault,” stated Tragakis, who was curled up in the fetal position in front of his locker after the game. “I told a few guys to play a clean game. I thought I mentioned that we need to score goals too, but apparently no one heard me. Next time, forget the goals! We just need some physicality out there!”
The only goal for the Penguins came off a pass from Hickey to Sniper in the 3rd period, who took full advantage of the Wings confusion, and drilled one past the goalie.
“We were out of position,” admitted Wings forward Ivan Blochunksi, in a strong Russian accent. “Those pigs got lucky, and a few of our guys felt sorry for them too. So we let them score. We will kill them the next time we see them too!”
Physical play and a desire to win is what the Penguins will need to take down this team the next time they meet.
On a different note, the Penguins team bus is now ready! After a few minor setbacks, the custom design work is now complete and the bus is ready for its engine to be overhauled! The expectation is that the bus will be ready for the ‘Flightless Bird Summer Hockey Tour’, which is planned for August.
“We are not sure what year yet,” Scott Flathers Penguins team spokesman noted, when asked about the August completion time-frame. “The goal right now is 2013, but since the world ends in 2012, the bus will need some serious work on the suspension, shocks, struts and ability to withstand your standard Armageddon. This could set us back a few years.”
If the bus is not ready in time, the plan is to have a walking, hockey-tour of downtown Walpole. In either case the players are ready.
“There was a game last night?” questioned Bilbo, who was eating doughnuts at one of his twelve Dunkin Donuts franchises. “I responded via email saying I was a "maybe", and then I later responded that I was "in". So it is obvious when I did not show that I didn't know about the game. I mean how could I know really, since I only sent two emails basically confirming my knowledge of the game? I am Canadian, and it will take a lot more than that before I can know such a thing, heh!"
