It had come down to only one goal to decide the Whalers season. One chance for redemption of a miserable regular season, one chance of reclaiming glory from the past, one chance of regaining respect from the Waterford community, and one chance to win their third game of the season.
A hard fought game between the Peter North Stars as scene in this photo,
and the Waterford Whalers were on showcase last night in the First Glory Day Sports Roller Hockey Championship. In the regular season the Peter North Stars had their way with the Whalers, by beating them three times, and even recently a 7-1 victory on Monday.
But this was a new look Whalers with the addition of Joey Lawrence from Blossom that had added a scoring touch in the absence of Coldplay and Master P.
Captain Quads, had a strategy to contain the Peter North Stars high powered offense. "From previous games, they would just put their fat guys next to the goalie and wait for a long pass. I decided to wait back in the defensive end, and distract their fat guys by waiving a gobbler shorti from WaWa in their face. No fat man can resist the delicious turkey and smothering gravy of a WaWa gobbler."
It was a very defensive tight game, as neither team wanted to end their season in defeat. Slashes, body checks, block shots were a plenty from both sides.
Closing seconds of the game the Whalers had a 3-2 lead, but the North Stars tired of the Turkey Gobbler enticing, made a charge at the Whaler goal. Fat Guy number 3 took a explosive slap shot from the top of the circle and redirected it off of A1's skate for the game tying goal.
Steve Arena not too pleased about the game tying goal, quickly won the face off and charged down the right wing, and scored the apparent game winning goal. Fat guy number 4 complained that Steve Arena had dislodged the net, and Fat guy number 1 and 5 also had a complaint.
"That's no goal!" the group of fat men shouted
Afraid and alarmed of the upset fat men, the referees decided the goal to be disallowed and overtime would have to settle the outcome of the game.
From the Whaler bench, a disappointed and uncertain wave of despaired had stormed the confidence of the team. Late Roster Addition Joey Lawrence from Blossom calm the storm and gave his team a roaring speech. "Guys, Chill out. Steve Arena we know you scored that goal. It no big deal dude. When I was on the television show Blossom, things like this would happen all the time. You know what I would do, I would take a swig of my Pepsi, and say its going to be alright Blossom. Nobody cares that you look like a horse, with a mini-skirt."
A1 Steak Sauce confused about the direction of Joey Lawrence's speech intervened "Ah...I don't really care about a television show that was on when i was a baby Steak Sauce Bottle. Can we just win this game. I don't think any of us are going to make it to the championship ever again. So lets win it now!"
Within minutes of the overtime, A1 feed a wide open Joey Lawrence who ripped a shot from the far left slot. He shot it high to the blocker side, as the ball was in mid-air. Only thoughts of the turmoil season, Boytanio shunning out the Chief Editor, Gang Green, Master P, Matt Arena complaining the Daily Whaler is borderline cyber bullying but yet he can't get enough, Steve Arena complaining that the sun is too hot, and at that very moment it was over.
