"I got stinkin' sh$tfaced on the bus, Louise left me and that son of bitch over there keeps playin' me."Oct. 28, 2009
With about a third of the Ak Bars still shaking off the after effects of Andrew "Big Swede" Jahr's wedding, this first game was a little rough. We actually held our own pretty well despite the fact that I could barely get my gear on without working my way toward metabolic alkalosis... The Nemesis jumped to an early lead due to a relatively flukey goal off a faceoff in our end during the first period. After a scoreless 2nd period the Nemesis scored another goal early in the third period off a breakaway. To add injury to insult, Captain Larry "Crusher" Curtis was hammered so hard he had to miss a few shifts to make sure all his bits and pieces were still in place and working. Just when things were looking bleak Garret "G-man" Miedema saved the day by getting himself thrown in the penalty box, forcing Larry to go back out on the ice. With a bum knee and all, Larry scored a blue line goal that snuck through the goalie's five-hole, putting some fire back into the Ak Bars game. Unfortunately we weren't able to pull it out and finished the game 2-1. We play the Nemesis two more times this season so as close as this game was I wouldn't be surprised to see a rubber match by the third game. The next game is our traditional day-after-halloween game so I'm sure we'll all be in game form... Bear #26
