There was a lot of excitement and elation in the air last night at Viking Arena. Our beloved Lions balled out on Monday Night Football, we had an unbelievable ending to the Scouts and Irish Americans game, and most importantly we saw the best team in MNL history get it’s first win of the year. That’s right folks… the Swedish Stars won! “We only play games that go into overtime” said Stars power forward Ryan Peso Monet as the team got it done in shoot out this week versus the Japanese Seals. Shout out to the MNL Video Team and Spicy Hetes for setting up the projector for us to watch the Lions game. 

Has anyone heard from Woodsie yet? Rumor on the street is that his no-call no-show was advice and a direct order from his parole officer to avoid Troy. “He clearly want’s no part of me” said disgraced and ignominious league patriarch Troy Otto. Others see Wood’s absence as a sense of maturation. “I think it was pretty smart of him not to show and exasperate the situation… either that or he is stoned beyond belief” said former league MVP Chad Paulinski. Whichever of these statements is more accurate, we all just hope Woodsie is OK.

The German Whale barely escaped with another victory against the pesky Tigres 4-1. “They gave us everything we could handle” said sturdy blueliner Ryan Maffesoli “We were lucky to walk out of there victorious”. The Tigres were clearly distracted by the giant football game being projected in their defensive zone. “My vision was clearly impacted and disrupted by that football game going on in my peripheral” said third round tendy Nick Santi. “The cheating Whalers have a history of nefarious behavior and they followed their plan of subbing up to guys like Old Man Eidt, Chad and Panty Dropper in order to win at all cost” grumbled Tigre GM Jeff Skillman. Skilly was in a hurry to leave the rink to get home and see his brand new son. Congrats to Mr and Mrs Skillman on their new arrival! Jeff is already working on the young lad’s net front presence and faceoff prowess. 

What a wild ending to the 9:30 NHL rink game. Feeling very comfortable late in the game the Irish Americans collapsed against the ‘never say die’ Scouts. After Irish American stud Sugar Shawn Hardy spotted his team three goals, the Scouts would pull netminder CLAWZ for an extra attacker. A mad scrambled ensued in front of Pangrazzi, bodies were piled everywhere, before Danny Ratliff slid it past the mass of humanity. The game would be settled quickly in OT by Cipps to complete the Scout comeback. “We all just wanted the game to end so we could watch the Lions game” commented a dejected Hal Doherty.
