Late Surge not enough in Killers 7-6 Defeat

Coming off an emotional high from the previous dramatic victory against the Golden Monkey Whalers, the Koolaid Killers fell to the Pennsauken Flames last night 7-6.  In what was a game that was decided by the Koolaid Killers inability to play adequate defense.  The Killers came up short in their comeback late in the third period. 

Head Coach Evil Mogilny wasn't very pleased with the effort of his players, "The difference in intensity from last week's game is astonishing.  This team didn't come to play today, and it showed out there.  Like how many times do I have to scream, about not passing it up the middle.  If this continues, I'm going to have to lace up my 1991 Wayne Gretzky Ninja Turtle Skates and show the defense men how to play hockey."

The Pennsauken Flames kept pushing the lead further and further away from the Koolaid Killers.  Every time the Killers would score a goal, the Super Negativity Line would go out there and give up another goal. 

Sour Puss Eric blamed Quad Skates for their inability to put a successful shift together, "Our line was mesmerize by Quad Skates disco dancing with his 4 wheel primitive skating devices.  I thought any minute the Disco ball was going to lower from the ceiling and referee Luigi was going to strut down the blue line in a vintage disco shirt."   

"Hey it's me Luigi!"

Stilts also apart of the Super Negativity Line put the blame on Quad Skates as well, "I learned after the game Quad Skates was holding out on us, with a bag of Tecate.  If I knew about the beer before the game, maybe I would of put out a better effort.  Like what is that Quad guy thinking?  Does he think he can motivate us, by lacing up a pair of fossilized skates.  Who does something like that?  Did he hire a team of Archeologists to find those monstrosities?"

It took over 3,000 years, but they found the Quad Skates.

Even with the super negativity from the second line, the Killers still managed to keep the score maintainable half-way through the third period.  With 2minutes and 43 seconds the score was 7-3.  Any normal team would throw in the towel and call it a game.  But not the Koolaid Killers!

The intensity that was sorely missed from the beginning of the game, reappeared in a blistering Joey slapshot from the point.  Cutting the deficit to 3 goals, the Killers changed their strategy.  They used the large frame sizes of Quads and Eric and planted them in front of the net.    The Killers kept firing shots from the points, and attacked the net with poise and determination. 

Joey and Coldplay netted goals to cut the lead to 7-6 with 22 seconds remaining in the game.  With the winding clock counting down to the end of regulation, the Chief Editor had the puck on his stick for another dramatic finish.  He was far out and let lose a wrist shot that sailed over the net, and went to the possession of the Flames.   They cleared the puck out of the zone to Swiss Cheese Ronda, who had the last shot of the game. 

"When Ronda had the puck on his stick in the closing seconds, for some reason I thought he was going to let loose a cannon and fire a shot on the Flame's goaltender.   But, when i saw the puck flutter in air 3 feet away from his stick, I then realize that he was goalie, not a sharp shooter." Joey's last hope of completing the comeback.

Coach Evil Mogilny was rather pleased in his team's effort in the dying moments.  "A team's character is not judge on the way they handle success, but rather how they handle defeat.  And the way they charged back in the closing seconds, shows that this team has heart."

The Koolaid Killers will try to rebound against the Prom Kings tomorrow night at 9pm.  First 10,000 fans receive a Coldplay Bubble Hockey Figurine.  Remember when the bourgeois keep you down, knock down a door and scream "Oh Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh!"  

Kill Koolaid Kill!
