Whalers Finish the Season at 500

The conclusion to a fantastic regular season, ended with a Whaler tie last Monday 4-4 against the heated rival "Tri State All-Stars".  Only seconds to spare, Stilts re-directed an Ed slap-shot from the point to tie the game.  In overtime both teams exchange scoring opportunities, but ended in a draw.  So that concludes a Whalers season with a record of 4-4-2.  The Whalers are now awaiting their opponent for the first round of the playoffs next week.

Captain, and head weasel Brian Boytanio seemed very pleased by his team regular season performance.  "We played great as a team this year.  I think this was a great stepping stone in the right direction of the organization.  We doubled our wins, from the previous two seasons combined, and double our attendance at the gate.   I'm waiting on a shipment of Whaler merchandise from China, to further profit our season.  Anybody want a vintage Waterford Whalers hoodie, worn by the original Whalers back in the inaugural season of 2009."

Although the Whalers were still mediocre on offense this season, the defense was terrific led by Goaltender Sargent Slaughter, who led all goalies with a GAA of 2.47 and a SV% of .968.  He also became a leader on this team by expressing his voice in the locker-room, with great in game insight and strategy.   The Slaughter express his thoughts of an above average season. 

"We played terrific in the beginning of the season.  I thought for sure, we would run the table and finish in the top 3.  However we had some injuries, some people now showing up, the Arenas adding sunshine and rainbows, and Hayes bailing out to go to the beach with underage minors.  But we hung in there, and I'm ready to compete for my 16th championship all-time as a men's league goalie."

Head coach Master P, not pleased by his heroic coaching job and team's regular season performance.  "We could of really been 8-2 on the season.  We left a lot of opportunities out there, and we need to generate more offense.  I'm going to make this team skate twice as hard in practice this week, and if they don't like they can go sit on the bench!  This is a game for men, not pansies who have a million excuses instead of winning.  Excuses are like the mole on my ass, in ain't pretty and it hurts."

Come out and support the Whalers as they try to make a playoff push next Monday.  Also contact Boytanio if you would like a vintage Whalers hoodie, or t-shirt.
