Most skaters feel that parody in the power league is good. It does makes for closer games and more exciting outcomes. I, on the other hand, prefer to watch teams self destruct while our forwards run up the score. Sadly, I feel like those days are behind us. Big Sky has always been a great team and we rarely have any altercations. This season is no exception, and with another addition to their already strong forward line-up the Crush would have to do everything in their power to keep from looking silly. My two biggest foes on the ice are speed and hands. With speed I am left tripping over my skates while the opposition advances towards the net for a 1-on-0. With hands I could be left anywhere from the blue line to the corner with my head firmly secured up my ass while play continues in front of our net. For these two reasons, I hate playing Big Sky. Good thing I'm not out there alone.....
Patrick "Chewy" Broadbridge continues to gain our trust with save after save. He has saved the game on more than one occasion and has managed to fill some pretty big shoes. It was no surprise in the locker room to see Patrick receive his second MVP honor this season. If this keeps up Broadbridge and Levi might as well leave the MVP stick at home and take turns dawning the trophy over their respective mantels.
Goaltending wasn't the only thing adding to yet another Crush victory. We still have to score more goals than the opposition. Big Sky may have some new guy with hot hands from Duluth, but the pride of Lake Superior still wears Crush blue. That's right, Beanzy is back on the score sheet and battling for a number one spot on the Crush points leader board. Polzin has something to prove this season after finishing last year with a fifth place finish under teammates Shugart, Edmunds, Darby, and Swenson. I would look for this guy to continue to excel this season and probably top the league in points. That's right I said points, not scoring, because this selfless individual enjoys a great assist over a goal any day of the week. So what if he has only had two hattricks this season and Levi has three....big deal, right Levi?
Long game recap short, Crush lead 3-2 in the first, 5-4 in the second, and hold off Big Sky in a scoreless third period. At this point in the blog I have to give props to Crush founding father, Kenny "Wildthing" Williams. He has continued to support the organization and night after night gives 100% on every shift. Maybe it was right place at the right time, or great position, but either way Kenny was awarded with this nights game winner. Sure he hurried out of the locker room after the game and refused comment, but for good reason. Unlike most players, Williams has a little something special waiting at home when he scores a goal. Keep up the good work Wildthing!
On a good night or bad, the Crush do what it takes to win. We have a winning attitude on and off the ice and it shows on the bench. We have mastered the win, whether it be a blowout, a last second nail biter, a come from behind victory , or holding on to a one goal lead it doesn't matter. I am not saying we are unbeatable, I am just wondering how we will react to a loss???
We have seen most of the teams in the league and face our final test this Thursday night when we take on the Green Machine lead by former Crush tender Josh Skinner. I know we have told Skinny that we respect his decision and that he needn't worry about head shots, but let's get serious. You can expect to see some high shots, as the Crush are very familiar with the style of "Dongus Longus". Top cheese, as we call it, is the main course Thursday night, and the Crush are hungry. Surprise Gang Bang! With PB out of town, the pipes will be filled with former Crush rookie of the year from the '04-'05 season, Chris Gomez. The "Hispanic Titanic" has signed on with the Crush as a back-up tender, but we all know that he is starter material. See you all Thursday night, it should be a good one.

Big Sky are a bunch of pussies, Especially their defense.
Finally some descent reffing allowed for a high tempo, quality rec game. Look for the "bunch of pussies" to get better as the year goes on. They'll be a contender by playoffs, even if their goal tending struggles a little. I do have to admit, he stopped me more than once..... damn it!
Bart you ought to start a toll booth and charge everyone that goes by a quarter. A few more games like this one and you'll have those twins paid for.
Beansy, Great game man! Part of 4 of the 5 goals. We can't survive without you!!
Levi, suggonit...you didn't make the score sheet either and I bet you were on the ice for some goals against?
Quit taking backchecking lessons from Carl and help out with the odd man rushes. Three forwards rushing two defensemen and a goalie does not equal a 3-on-3.
I did suck the other night and I hope this lack luster play doesn't continue, but in the mean time you can take turns licking my cock-hawk!
Bart,
You're right, 3 forwards rushing 2 defense and a goalie doesn't equal 3 on 3.
When you're on the ice, its a 3 man breakaway. Goalie can't see around your fat ass and your partner expects you to be able to make a play..... WRONG!!
If you'd just fall down infront of the net then you might be able to help out once.
As far as my back-checking...I don't hear anyone else complaining. But maybe thats because they can handle a one on one by themselves.
I'll take a +/- competition any day. Bring it on.... you and me, right here, right now!
Plumzy:
Keep it down, if I wanted more lip outta you I'd wiggle my zipper. You need to focus on scoring more goals so that my on ice miscues aren't a factor. Either that or test your skillz at the point while I start drinking earlier. I like the lay down comment, but does falling down count?
thanks for sharing the gameplan.... still planning on havin sunburn on my neck, wait nevermind theres no goal lights. but anyways... bring some extra beer, ill be over to take all the shit you guys give me after the game.
Wow- I'm not so into the imagery left from the "wiggle the zipper" comment. I hope the Crazy Canuck's wife doesn't peruse the blog these days! As for Ca-Sally making saves... not only did we make him look good but he thought he was still playing D in a full contact league when he made plum jelly out of Levi. As for the Minnesota duo on Big Sky... I'm not worried... Beanz told me himself that players from Duluth and "the cities" don't jive. Besides, new guy still has a lot of beer league development in front of him before he's considered a real threat.
One thing I've observed is the proliferation of the "Swenson Pull-Up" at the top of the circles throughout the crush ranks. And though he may have a bad back, most certainly Chris Edmunds does not. Wild Thing Williams commented on the amount of Great Harvest freebies Chris gets these days... but surely an intimidating backchecker carving up the ice had something to do with it. I have to think that if the fiance were still coming to Crush games the Edmunds of old would have leaned in an arm and a leg and taken it to the fucking rack. But to his credit- the boy is now a man with a 4 hour roundtrip drive to Crush games and that equals lots of beer, taco bell, and country music.
Skinner- can't wait to touch off a few rounds at ya buddy. And you bring the extra beer, bitch!
who's going to remain undefeated after thursday? My money is on the Machine.

I can only hope you are a Crush player trying to motivate the troops, because no one from Gang Bang would be so stupid to flap their labia in such a disrespectful manner.
The Bang knows their place, and if they forgot, they will be reminded on Thursday night...
I'll take that bet anonymous! I see you are afraid to identify yourself. Just like all the other pussies who post their feeble comments.
Seems to be a trend... weak comments = weak play! All will be settled this Thursday.
if you guys are gonna light the christmas tree early on me the least you could do is ease my pain with a couple beers... tigre? please?
since there is no new blog to post on and i just got a name and password i will have to berrate everyone on this old blog. Yes i am here to post as crush points leader, i know you have all been waiting for this moment. since there is no steady flow of the penoche this year i have the fire lit in my bellie in order to get the flow back in my direction instead of all you guys who seem to have it and then your wives get pregnent??? so anyway we are still undefeated and dont really see any large opposition to take us off of the high horse. so keep moving the puck and play old time hockey ( a chew in mouth and beer on the bench) yes old time hockey
