Comments: Mid-game meltdown

Come back Otto, I'm sure as much as Billy Idol wants a rematch he probably would rather play out. Easier to goon the aged veterans that way.

We will welcome you back with open arms Ottoman ... don't even hesitate to come out Sunday. We can jest about a rematch all we want but we are all well aware that it would never happen.

Besides, we wouldn't want to break with the time-honoured "tradition" of watching Legend give all our sticks a good Sunday morning pulling.

Who's going to be the first to bring back the Colonel/Rudy shenanigans picture?

I'm planning on being there this Sunday, sorry if it kills the rematch idea. The only thing that might keep me away is if work is still crazy busy.

What's this about Wink getting lucky? Is there unsanctioned sex going on here?!?

Posted by Wendel at March 3, 2004 04:36 PM

Oh come now, don't be that way Wink. One of these days you'll get lucky too!

Posted by TheColonel at March 3, 2004 02:36 PM

Yeah, you missed Colonel's lucky day...

Elvis is right, some different people probably will show up this week...I know I will be there. Yes Beetle Boy will show up rain-or-shine and screw up the prospect of an exact rematch.

Sounds like I missed one hell of a game last week.

Load up the Aztec, Otto.

Should I take this weekend off again then, with it being rematch time?

Posted by ottoman at March 2, 2004 08:28 PM

Im with Wink! REMATCH!

I'm all for another go at a team that was nothing more than lucky last week.

And to avoid the technicallity, Im sure there will someone who wasn't there last week, who will show up to ensure its not an exact rematch ...just to keep the commish from pooping his pants completely.

I'm all for a rematch, but I'm worried about the voices that the Colonel is hearing ...

Posted by Wendel at March 2, 2004 07:44 AM

Colonel talks funny. I don't know if I want anything that he wants....

Tradition is important but there are also times when tyranny is veiled beneath the guise of "tradition." Would you choose to have us seal our fates as mere conformists happy to exist beneath the unchallenged rule of the oppressor? Nay I say! The roadsters have chosen to speak with a united voice and I have clearly heard them say "REMATCH, REMATCH, REMATCH!"

Paul One, I'm one of the aged veterans too you know, and my comment was intended to savour our victory over the likes of the Kid, Bird, Elvis, and that honorary speedy youngster Wink.

As much fun as it would be to beat them again, being a conservative old geezer at heart I wouldn't want to mess with our time-honored tradition of new teams every week. Traditions are important and deserve our respect.

I'd ride with Billy as my team's goalie any time, any place, any where. He ain't afraid of you guys. All the lucky bounces can't be with you guys two weeks in a row....

Posted by Wink at March 1, 2004 06:27 PM

I think it's a great idea. Back to back weeks beating up on the Kid / Elvis / Others’ team. Unfortunately, I think that Billy Idol might disagree. What terribly scary nightmares he would have as Sunday morning approached!

Posted by TheColonel at March 1, 2004 04:27 PM

Er, may I interupt your lovefest to remind you guys the ONLY time teams carry over from one week to the next is for the Stanley Stick.

Posted by Living Legend at March 1, 2004 04:26 PM

I think that would be great. I think we should keep the same teams again, just so things can be sweet again for Wendel, and Paul One and the rest of the veteran crew. I'm glad that so darn happy...

Posted by Wink at March 1, 2004 02:39 PM

Wendel,

"Aged veterans"? You may not have hit me with a shot yesterday but apparently you've still managed to launch one at me.

By the way, Wink is my favorite "speedy youngster" and I'd love a chance to face him and the other "youngins" again.

Posted by PaulOne at March 1, 2004 01:35 PM

If things were so damn sweet for you why don't we go with the same exact teams next week then?

Signed
Our team's old, slow veteran

Posted by Wink at March 1, 2004 09:39 AM

Oh sure, just like ALL of my shots and passes going EXACTLY where I intend them to be (with a few exceptions, as Paul One's eye knows).

I noticed that the media declined to mention another positive story from this game ... namely how our side was stacked with aged veterans but we still prevailed over the speedy youngsters. That made yesterday's victory especially sweet for me.

Posted by Wendel at March 1, 2004 08:06 AM

I was more impressed with your game-ending "pin point pass" than your “sea” gull jersey. I must say, it was just incredible the way you deliberately played the ball off the backboards behind the net and right out front on to my stick. In fact, it was just amazing!

I hope your bruises heal faster than Kid and Elvis’ egos :)

Posted by TheColonel at February 29, 2004 11:45 PM

I'm terribly disappointed with this week's photo coverage. Not even a glimpse of my spiffy new jersey. Sniff sniff.
