TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2000 • KUDZU HOCKEY LEAGUE
TELLERMATE vs. BLUR

Tellermate 5 • Blur 6

ATLANTA, GA -- While wrapping tape around his shinguards to hold them in place (and also to keep his legs warm), star Tellermate center, Greg "Why's Everybody Always Pickin' On Me?" Rolnick, pondered how nice it would be to notch a victory this evening for his mother's birthday. After all, nothing says "Happy Birthday, Mom" like a good 'ol hockey win. Alas, Mom would have to settle for flowers and a Hallmark card this year...

With a 3-1 lead going into the second half of the game, Tellermate was feeling pretty good about things. However, while they kept pressing and playing for another goal, the Blur were rallying their troops into a frenzy of reckless slashing, hooking, and offensive mayhem. Unluckily for Tellermate, the Blur's campaign of shots from the blue line paid off. After tying the score at 3-3, Tellermate and Blur fought a back and forth battle. Tellermate scored, quickly followed by Blur. The teams then exchanged goals again. And with a minute and ten seconds left on the clock, those bastard from Blur (I mean, those valiant little skaters), poked a rebound through the pads of the beleaguered Tellermate goalie. The final minute was full of tricky skating, wonderful passing, and booming slapshots...but no goals.

Rolnick posted 2 assists and served 2 minutes in the box for an unintentional tripping penalty, but has remained scoreless in his last few games. With a possible match tomorrow night, he's looking to increase his +/- rating, and maybe bring Mom a touch more joy.

STAY TUNED...
