Monty Python couldn't have put it any better. That just about sum's up last weekend. What Can I say about saturday.... We'll to lose 7-0 against the arch enemy the Steelers. Yup 7-0!! Despite the scoreline and watching Panthers playing so so poorly I actually had a really good night!! After coaching the Thrumpton Kwik Cricket kids in the morning I had a nice relaxing afternoon playing on the new Godfather game for the PS2. Then we set off to the Arena, Wykesie, Sammo Mum and Myself (Sammo) as we were parking Wykesie informed me that he'd got a ticket for playoff game 3 and not the ticket for playoff game 2!! So I had to go all the way home and pick up his ticket!!
So we arrive back at the Arena andnow it's started to pour it down with rain, great just what we need!! Anyway Mum gets into the arena and her hair is wet through!! She looked like a drowned rat!! Aaaaah!! I hear you say!! So inside we went to watch, what we hoped, a really great performance by the Panthers. Unfortunatly we were all very disapointed Steelers played well and we were poor so in all fairness we just ended up laughing rather that crying at the 7-0 scoreline. (one goal!! we only wanted one goal!!) Comedy moment goes to the horseman (truely a legend!!) stripping off in the middle of the second period during a break in play! It had the crowd in complete laughter!!
The other great moment was during the game. Panthers pull Curtis "What amI doing" Cruickshank and bring on Geoff "Our House" Woolhouse. Wooly face 1 shot saves it and then a fight breaks out downthe other end of the ice near the Steelers net. Steelers netminder looks like he's getting involved so wooly skates down the full length of the ice and by the time he gets there the fights finish and wooly then gets kicked out the game for crossing the halfway line!! Class!! ONE SAVE ONE FIGHT!! ONE SAVE ONE FIGHT!!
Still afer all the madness of the hockey was over we retired to T&D where on birthday boy Andy's arrival we got the entire bar singing Happy Birthday to him before Warren, Ted, Keefe and myself proceded to give him the Bumps!! Then Andy's mum cut up the Panda birthday cake and made sure everyone got a piece.
Our Captain Warren with Birthday Boy Andy and the Panda Cake!!Then after a goods night sleep it was on to the madness in Sheffield in our return trip against the Steelers, just hoping for an improved performance. Well in all fairness we got it!! Much improved and came away with a respectable 1-1 result. Thanks to a blunder from Jody "Tango Man" Lehman and a determind finish from Super!! Super Matt!! Super!! Super Matt!! Super!! Super Matt!! Super Matty Myers!! (That's a song just for you Cat!!) Now we just have to hope and pray that Newcastle can beat the Steelers and that we can pick up two wins against the Bison.
On the way to the game Spen and myself were teasing Rhindsie with the thought of the Baywatch theme tune from the latest CD that spen created for me!! For some reason this is now craigs favourite song and can be seen doing an impression of the opening title accross a hockey rink car park near you soon!!
Another great comedy moment was during the 1st period break when Duffy appeared and said the game was pants!! Had he just watch the same period as us!! I DON'T THINK SO!! We played very well in the 1st!! Our powerplay actually played with POWER!! (Sorry for steeling your phrase Shaggy!!) and our penalty kill was working well (Killing like a sniper) So we just couldn't believe the words that had just come out of his mouth!! Although he does seem to have found himself some followers of the DUFFY CLAN although there is another name we game them but if you want to know that you'll have to ask either Cat or myself!!
Anyway I guess I've rambled on enough so see you all soon folks!! Most of you in Basingstoke I suspect!!
BAMBOOOOOO!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOO!!!
