TELLERMATE vs. MINDSPRING
Game 1: TELLERMATE 3 • AEROS 8
ATLANTA, GA – In an ugly start to a seemingly long evening
of hockey, Tellermate fell (again) to the uber-aggressive Aeros.
In a game marked by poor Tellermate passing, flared tempers
and communal team play that can best be described as the ever-productive
"head up your ass" technique, Tellermate couldn't
seem to get anything going.
After a first period assist to tie the game 2-2, Greg "You
Can't Put A Bounty on a Man's Head!" Rolnick, slipped further
and further into frustration at his sloppy performance.
Consequently, he apparently switched to "Plan B,"
and began hacking, poking, hooking, trash talking, and head-diving
all over the damn place. Racking up two separate trips to the
box (for hooking and fighting, respectively), it was not his
finest moment.
When the final buzzer sounded, Tellermate skated off the rink
in disgust and tried to use the next hour to prepare themselves
for their upcoming match.
Game 2: TELLERMATE 14 • MINDSPRING 3
Shaking off their earlier disappointment, Tellermate took to
the rink and vowed not to lose. As a matter of fact, Greg "Rock
'em Sock 'em" Rolnick, was overheard announcing that if
Tellermate lost he was moving to Chicago...
But this game was definitely not a repeat performance of the
Aeros fiasco, as Tellermate launched an offensive attack that
began in the first moments of the game and lasted until the
final buzzer.
Taking full advantage of Mindspring's sloppy defensive play,
Tellermate deftly controlled the ball, setting up plays and
keeping the action deep in Mindspring's zone for most of the
match.
With his confidence restored, Rolnick went back to his scoring
ways and notched ANOTHER hat trick as well as posting two assists,
during the Tellermate routing of Mindspring. Not only that,
but he recovered his face off technique that had been apparently
misplaced earlier in the evening, and repeatedly won the ball
to set up the Tellermate attack.
Next week supposedly marks the beginning of the Kudzu League
playoffs, so STAY TUNED!!! |
