In the event of extreme glutteny, the Assistant to the Assistant Capt. is required to pick up the slack where the Capt. fails to deliver. Enjoy this blog drafted by leading scorer Levi Shugart..... .....Could this be the beginning of the end? Have the wheels fallen off the wagon? Will the Crush push the self destruct button? In an uncharacteristically shoddy performance, the Mighty Crush displayed signs of internal strife and bickering and were barely able to hold on for a tie. That’s right folks, our path to perfection came to a screeching halt thanks to a lack-luster performance from the not-so mighty crush.
Without the calming influence of Crush sophomore, Connor Darby, the team had a melt down of sorts and allowed the Hispanic Titanic to single-handedly beat them. Lacking the quite, lead-by-example, work ethic of this phenom the crush traveled down a treacherous path of half-ass effort and nearly game losing arrogance. I believe the Crush have gotten to the point of not respecting opponents talent and clearly that is a dangerous place to be. Lead by Chris Edmunds, the Crush were continually sucked into bad penalties and spent more effort bitching at the refs than they did at moving their fat asses around the rink. Edmunds, worried about his lead in PIMs, berated the refs until he was thrown out of not one game but two.
Thanks, to some stellar goal tending and an insane performance from a last minute addition, league-whore Pete Kamman (2 goals, 1 assist) the crush were able to stave off a well deserved defeat. Missed breakaways, posts, and missed open nets plagued the usually calm and confident scoring machine.
Amid this dismal excuse of rec-league hockey, there were a few highlights. Pete Kamman toe drags two guys and feeds Edmunds wide open for a back-door one-timer...... See you later water bottle!! Plum drives the zone wide and feeds Beanzy, driving to the net hard, for a short side one-timer....Didn’t see that comming!
Hopefully the Crush can put this humbling experience behind them and emerge a wiser, stronger, more unified winning machine. Because if they don’t, the contention on the bench will destroy them and this really is the beginning of the end.

Crush, we need to look past this game and plan for the meat of our schedule. The Ponies will always be a threat. They are young and fast, but it's a good thing their only shooter usually plays goalie. We are up against Big Sky Tuesday night...and they are looking for a big win. I know we have been showing up bombed and playing like shit on a regular basis. I accredit some of this laziness to the fact that we win every game. Well, things are about to change if we don't nut up. We will beat Big Sky on Tuesday night....but we all need to show up hungry. On a side note, Swenson and Edmunds need to lose some fucking weight or think about playing defense.
Real shitty plum call me out on the second that's, bullshit. Sorry you have no reason to say that. I'll be there tomorrow, enough said. I still had two, and gave up one, still descent. I did my job pass it around a little.
Bart this three games with no blog shit sucks. Get with it. Bring a buck for fantasy Tues.
Earl,
Not calling anyone out, personally. Just the whole team - myself included!
You had a great game.... before you got kicked out!
Can't wait to take your fantasy dollar!
Sounds like you guys ran into some classic Ponyism... they distract you with their high level of douche scent and then when you put them in their place, the refs are so distracted as well that they make douche calls, then the Crush all turn into whining douches and suddenly its a game of douche bags. Nobody wins in that situation, hence the tie.
Wish I could have been there, but part of being a Crush role model means dedicated public service in the community, and the people of Havre, MT deserved an honest appearance. Stepping out of the work truck with the mighty blue jersey flapping in the Highline wind, the lasting impression was left on the locals for years to come.
They didn't want me to leave until I had unveiled the much anticipated "el tigre", but I had to acknowledge my team's struggle with the Pony Boys and the importance of Tuesday night's match with Big Sky.
Tonight, the Mighty Blue cash in their egos and take the W as a team against a top contender. Then reclaim their egos as they argue over the stat sheet after the game. Go Blue!
crush clean it up, i know u arent gettign ready for the showdown in the ND, but a tie in montana is like losing to termites in ND.....
clean it up
