I Predict that the Nordiques will lose handily because they are NOT really very good. My prediction is that they will win 5-1 and somebody will get suspended for doing something stupid like attacking a referee.
The Gambler's Run Over Nords, Turner Suspended For A Forearm Shiver!
The heavily favored Nordiques(5-0-2) were downed by the streaking Gamblers(4-2-1) in the late game of week 8. The Gamblers came in prepared after spanking the Whalers 10-1 last week, while the Nordiques seemed a bit......um, no, ALOT overconfident after their 14-3 spanking of Tuck. The Gamblers played an absolutely perfect game, excecuting breakouts, zone control & even implementing the newly formed ENFIELD TRAP. Player / Coach Willy "Weeble" Meyer is the mastermind who invented the ENFIELD TRAP which utilizes a bucket of hair gel, 3 used tampons, 2 lbs of crack cocaine & a plunger.
The Gamblers held the Nordiques to a paltry 15 shots on goal, including ONLY 3 in the 3rd period. They clogged up the neutral zone & took everything away in the center of their zone & were even blocking shots. Their top line of Meyer, Matty "The Breast Milk Man" Marrazzo & Dan "The Animal" Ammel were outstanding, keeping the NorDINKS defense on their heels all night. One of the unsung heroes on the night was Joey "You Got The Right Stuff" McIntyre who contributed solid defense & 2 assists while shutting down all scoring attempts from the pathetic Nordiques forwards. The scorekeeper wanted to give a shout out to Kevin "Sweats" Guilbault, not because he knows him, but because "[he] has the sickest Russell Athletic, 1980's Grey Sweats I've ever seen!"
To add insult to injury, the Nordiques awful play was compounded by a mistake of epic proportions from Ex-Co-Commissioner Johnny "Frenchy" Turner who forearm-shivered Greg Hadley....THE REF....because he disagreed with Hadley calling a goal from the other end of the ice. Turner is currently in meetings with the UVHL, NHL & Secret Service to determine what his punishment will be.
The majority of the first period was pretty boring, with the Gamblers taking the only penalty of the period when Scotty "F&*K YOU" Fraser took 2 minutes for hooking with 9:41 to go. Marrazzo added the only goal of the period when he found a rebound off of an Ammel shot in the high slot, fired through a crowd up and over the glove shoulder of Turner who was taking everything away down low.
END OF THE FIRST: Nordiques ZERO, Gamblers 1
SAVES: Turner(NDQ) 8, Condon(GMB) 5
The Nordiques tied the game up early in the second when "Used & Dirty" Condon stepped out of the crease to poke check the puck of off the Nord's Poli "The Nightmare" Nightingale's stick. The puck went directly onto the stick of Danny "Jumpin'" Jodice who promptly fired the puck back at the awkward Condon who was trying to make it back into his crease. The puck careened off his stick between his gaping and hairy 5-hole before finding the back of his sloppy net. That shitty goal, would be the only one Jered "Let me check the stat sheet" Condon would give up, despite only seeing 16 weak girly shots on the night, he was pretty solid. Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with having a girly shot.....or GIRLY NAME FOR THAT MATTER!!!! Willy "Can You Take Me" Meyer scored a power play goal at 7:58 with Andy "Sputnik" Puchilak in the box for an "accidental" high stick. Meyer, like a sneaky little steroided up mouse, found himself on the back door all alone where McIntyre made a perfect half slapshot pass from the left point for Meyer to redirect into the net. Condon made a decent save with 3 minutes to play in the second "on a weak flutter shot......Chad Pennington-esque"(from the scorekeeper guy) coming from Kelly "The Chick" Park. McIntyre found himself making another excellent play with 3 seconds to play as he rushed down the far boards, turning Kelly "Ankle Bender" Park. Saunders the scorekeeper said "McIntyre was absolutely anal-raped by Park, who is slower than death" going to the net which had the refs ready to blow hard, but the puck slid perfectly onto the stick of Tyson Seeley "Posturpedic" who used a 9 iron to chip the puck over a downed Turner. Seeley was wide open after blown coverage by the dirty dentist, Roger Phillips.
END OF THE SECOND: Nordiques 1, Gamblers 3
SAVES: Turner(NDQ) 20, Condon(GMB) 11
Saunders the scorekeeping bitch, said "Heading into the 3rd and the Nordiques have managed only 11 shots, apparently the Nordiques have brought there JV offense tonight." The Nords only managed 1 shot through the first 7 minutes and got their second shot around 10 minutes in. The 3rd period was more of the same, with the Gamblers outshooting, outplaying, outhusting & out-massaging each other on the bench. Other than complete control by the Gamblers the only interesting note in the first 10 minutes was Jordan "Knight" McGee getting knocked down by a Gambler defenseman into Condon's crease. Condon took offense & slashed McGee in the back of ankles, to which McGee took offense and jammed Condon in the face. Both went to the box at 5:35 for roughing. The game then turned ugly when Willy Meyer took a turnover in at center ice stormed down the far boards and fired a HARD & QUICK snapper that ricocheted HARD off the far post, in and back to the middle of the ice. I'm not quite sure how a puck that hits the post that hard can bounce straight back out with a ping from the far boards, but that is when Turner lost it, Hadley ended up on the ice and the game was almost canceled. Hadley let Turner finish out the game, seeing he is a goaltender and there was still just under 3 minutes to play. Regardless, Meyer put his team up 4-1 and essentially putting his team on the power play for the remainder of the game. Scotty Fraser made it 5-1, but I can't really remember how, I think I was still in shock and awe and possibly a little bit scared of the violence and anger that erupted from John Turner.

| Condon, no f-ing way Nov 28th, 2008 06:29 PM
If you think you guys are gonna hold us to 2 goals you are dillusional. Did you know Tao had a hat trick last game? I'm sure he's gonna explode out of the gate for at least a couple. My line will no doubt light you up for at least 3. The McGee boys will be good for a couple. So where does that leave you guys? No way are you gonna get more than 4 on John " Fish Out of Water " Turner. Good luck to you, see you on the ice.

| well MARSHY... here is my thinking Dec 1st, 2008 12:31 PM
you guys played TUCK... by far the most inconsistent team in the league. the two games before them you played teams that started to get better and catch up to your team in speed and skill... US (the gamblers) have hit our stride beating teams before last week that are a couple of the better teams in the league, like the Brewers, for instance. teams are catching you guys and hitting their stride... my team is playing some great puck the intire length of the ice, on forward and D. your is is slow and willy, matt, and a couple other speedy guys are going to skate all of you in to the ground... so before you start talking about who score how many in your last game look at who you played last week and look who you lost two shoot out games too...THIS IS WHY I SAY THIS IS GOING TO BE A CLOSE ONE!!! no to mention we blew out a better team then the one you guys blew out last week... kpark Quechee, VT

| Condon SUCKS! Dec 1st, 2008 10:14 PM
You are going DOWN tomorrow night. First I'm going to toe drag your forwards, then toe drag your defenseman. Then I'm going to throw the TRIPLE DEKE at you, take it behind the net and put it in the other side. Then I'm going to piss in your crease. BOOOYAH!!! goaliem31 Cornish, NH

| Great game, Gamblers. Dec 3rd, 2008 01:05 AM
Nice job handing us our first regulation loss, guys. You beat us to most of the pucks, stifled our offense, and made great passes and got some nice goals...except for the second last one...but the call was the call and that's how it is. Too bad Turner lost his cool, but he manned-up for it, and it will be dealt with. See you on the ice next week. hkydoc WRJ, VT

don't worry Doc... i told that no talent Park he didn't post the pre game yesterday... but he swears on his stone hands and 12 year old girl clapper that he did post it... LOL!!!
on that weak ass shot i felt it best not to rub it in KPs face... but i think the silent treatment was more demoralizing to his huge mellon!!
great game though last night guys!!

I would like to offer a personal and sincere tip-of-the-hat to the Gamblers. From Offense to defense they were solid. By far the biggest challenge we've had thus far. Condon was definitely solid, not just the top line, but the whole team was clicking all game. Their defense looked great and tough to penetrate. I can't wait for the re-match guys. Great game, and hold your heads high boys. You are definitely a different team than we last played last. See you guys on the ice, MARSHY!!! habs101 , NH
