Game Recap
The D30 squad hit the ice Wednesday and impressed fans with their own rendition of Disney on Ice. This crew has apparently spent the last three weeks sharpening their toe picks, and perfecting their pirouettes. The team was seen frolicking about the ice sheet for the better part of an hour, using their sticks as visual props and to aide them in balancing. We can only hope this ship can right itself before rainbows magically appear on their jerseys.
The early minutes of the game looked to be promising. Fan(s) in the arena thought they were witnessing the developing moments of an epical powerhouse, unfortunately they were seeing the little energy the D30 team had diminish at an exponential rate.
If the chemistry of this team can’t improve from their debut performance this experiment will surely be a bust. The team put on a clinic of ‘what not to do’ 3 on 2’s, 2 on 1’s, and other odd man rushes. We are left to assume the preseason was scattered with drills that reinforced half ass toe drags, skating with your head down, and intimidating the goalie by shooting pucks into him. The team has started the season off making three consecutive passes the only thing more elusive than Bigfoot (see: Sasquatch).
At the other end of the ice goaltender Chris Decker looked to be shooting the sequel to Castaway. Stranded all alone with no help in sight Decker saw more shots fired than the first Iraq war.
On a positive note the Wednesday debacle will amount to nothing more than a preseason warm up. The only thing less apparent than a quality performance was an officiating crew. (Literally, there wasn’t one.)
With one week to reflect on the nightmare that occurred yesterday evening we hope to see a different squad show up for the regular season kickoff.
Notables:
MVP trophy was awarded to Freddie. Freddie netted a pair of tricky bank shots from inside the paint, outside of that his upbeat demeanor and generally positive outlook on everything was the only bright spot on this disaster of an evening.
LVP- with so many potential candidates the selection was a toss up. In the end the baby blue went to Lies who in all honesty may not have played any worse than his fellow figure skaters but he did spill the first beer in the locker room.

How was the locker room scene. Did the Busch Lights taste okay? There was no mention of Beads, Rosty, or new D30 d-man, Brad "The Beamer" Lucke. If I am going to join the Whitey Cup fantasy league, this information could be critical...
Briefly,
The locker room was like an eigth grade dance...it started off with a bunch of people akwardingly looking at eachother- it ended with everyone drinking and not wanting to go home.
Beads- his plus minus looks like Tigers score on the back nine at Augusta, -5.
Rosty- Considering he was high on the lacquer he applied to the Busch Light helmet stickers...his performance is excused.
Beamer- Turnover, recovery, turnover, recovery. His play was so pathetically uneventful the team would have been better off without him. His passes are two feet off the ice, the ones that aren't, are two feet off target. His lack of commitment in the off season is showing through.
well i guess i need to step it up in our own zone...set an example lead the team to victories
