Nibs treats team

Just two weeks away from the Stanley Stick, Nibs is making a case to be an opening day starter for the big game.

Backstopping his team to a 20-15 victory in Sunday's game, Nibs is starting to show some poise, since the baby blues hit the league's goaltending core.

According to Colonel, “I think Nibs was the better goalie today”. “He stoned our opposition all day today, and Gump looked pretty shaky”.

Comments well deserved to the netminder who continuously stacked the pads across the crease to shutdown his opposition.

“If I were to chose a goalie for the stick, it would be Nibs”, added Colonel.

Although, there are some that still think a veteran or an outsider should be brought in for the stick. The word’s still out on Lobsterboy, and it looks like PFG is on the shelf. Which is leaving the fans wondering, what happened to Ottoman, Couch, and Frosty the State Puff Marsh Mellow Man? Either way, it looks like backup goalies will be required for the Stick, which should make next week's performances all the more meaningful.

Whoops - you're right Lak. How about you strap on the pads for the other team on May 4th and 11th? I don't particularly like the idea of a ringer.

Umm. Gump is available on May 11th and Lobster is avaialble May 4th, so we have the two of them playing on different dates. I say bring in the ringer for two games with gump and lobster alternating for the same team!!
God Bless!!!

I've heard from Lobster. Like Gump, he is available on May 4th but not May 11th. So, we potentially have two goaltenders for the first game. It's May 11th we need a solution for now. More suggestions from folks for the 11th please.

Lobster, are you available for May 11th to play against Gump? What about May 4th?

That was a great story..I wonder who wrote it. I'm going to miss the game on May 4th but will be in for the game on May 11th.

Where are you Lobsterboy????????

I'm not keen on the idea of bringing in a ringer goalie for the Stick. I think we've got enough guys with experience between the pipes to cover most goaltending possibilities. The key is distributing those goalies amongst the two teams and making sure we have enough gear for whoever straps on the pads.

I agree with Colonel and Lak Attack though, we've got to hear from Lobsterboy or any of the other lapsed goalies as to whether they'll be showing up.

That was possibly the best write-up of the year! I love the accuracy of the quotes.

Regardless, we have a goaltending issue for the Stick. Who is available and on which dates? Goaltenders - please post your availability as early as possible so we can get this worked out.
