Another Rose Cup in the history books and here is a quick summary of the highlights as I recall them:

 

-Having a 3 goal lead against the Cascades.

-Blowing a 3 goal lead against the Cascades.

-loseing to the Cascades 7-5

-Jim getting crashed and the net and crease being a popular meeting place between them and our D.

-Playing to a respectable tie against the Bad Czechs

-Having the Fieweger connection on the ice

-Gorski's perma grin

-getting spanked by the Vipers 9-1

-Tommy going to the rescue of his big "little" brother when a brawl occured against the Vipers. (he would have taken on anyone for his bro, how touching to watch)

-Gorski dropping his gloves to fight the fatty bo blatty in the fish bowl mask, all the while maintaining his perma grin.

-some great goals by many of us to be proud of.

-Watching Walker's failed attempt to jump the boards for a line change and falling flat on his face.

-losing the bronze medal game and coming in fourth in the tournament.

-Klaus' non showering appearance

-Cunningham forgetting his shin pads at home

-Blue Eyes Gillespie's stare down of disappointment

-Gillespie's acceptance stare

-Cornelius' first game with us and adding another Canadian to the roster

-Seeing Kevin's tan that rivals Weaver and makes KFerg look much slimmer

-Realizing but refusing to accept the possibility of Walker letting a girl come between him and the Team.

-Getting completely demoralized and absolutely demeaned by the ref with the stash that aparently only has the ability to comunicate at one very loud, embrassing, and obnoxious level even when I'm two feet away from him.

-Walker with a display of shear passion and lack of self control gets in the face of a Bad Czech player and calls him a little f-in B#!$%.  But unfortunately the ref mistook Walker's directed comment to himself and our own Oil Boy gets 10 min to think about his verbal abuse.

-Big Pink bustin a skate.  was it the shot or just the force on gravity?   

 

Ah yes, another good tournament with some great memories and a touch of bitterness to dwell on.  Thanks to all who participated and made it possible.
