The Whalers continue their losing ways, with last night's defeat against the Barlow Brusiers 6-3. Local icon, and hero Master P suited up for the Whalers and gave a very emotional speech before the game.
"Steve Arena you suck." words of wisdom from Master P.
With those inspiratinal words, the Whalers started out on fire scoring two quick goals by Brian Botanio, and Montel.
Montel's goal was remarkable. He toe-drag by two defencemen, flip the puck off his helmet, and then batted the puck out of mid-air for his highlight goal.
Opposing netminder Sergent Slaughter, (former Whaler legend) was flabbergast by the skill level Montel showed.
"I never knew a human life-form could show such unbelievable skill. Somebody should give Montel his own daytime talk program." Sergent Slaughter commented
Things slowly began to cripple for the Whalers, after the phenomenal Montel goal. A few mistakes allowed the Barlow Bruisers back into the game, and they took a 3-2 lead after the first period.
The Whalers began to sink in the 2nd period, allowing a powerplay goal, and an even strength goal, for a 5-2 deficit going in the 3rd period.
Heart and determination were key components to the Whalers game-plan. They never stop skating, digging out loose pucks, drilling Barlow into the boards, and supporting one another. But even with the valiant effort by each individual, the deficit was too large to overcome with a 6-3 defeat.
So the Whalers are back in familiar territory with a 0-5 start to their season.
Free agent signing Steve Arena wasn't very pleased by Whalers efforts this season.
"I just spent an entire season on a team that went 0-10, and now I'm on a defending championship team that is win-less. Why does every team I play on struggle so mightily. "
Master P replied "Cause your not a very good player. This isn't an outdoor league, where everybody has the same skill level of Gang Green."
"Well, Master P you didn't contribute anything tonight. I'm still trying to figure out why we allowed you to play." Steve Arena retorted
"At least I wasn't skating into my own teammates. I'm glad I wore my full-cage, because I would of gotten another 12stiches by your large cranium." Master P explained
"Master P, you don't know what your talking about. I was fighting for a loose puck, and you happen to be in my way." Steve Arena commented
"Maybe you should skate in the other team's way." Master P replied.
Besides the drama by Steve Arena, and Master P it was a hard fought defeat. A lot of positives came out of this lost; Swiss Cheese Ronda had a good game, Montel broke one of his unlucky sticks, Quad Skates didn't make any costly turnovers, and Stilts showed a lot of poise and composure on offense.
The Whalers host the "Bobby Knights" on Thursday at 11pm.
Go Whale Go!
