After last week's loss, Assistant Captain Dan Greene knew that he had to step up. No, he didn't put in extra time on the ice or in the gym. And no, he didn't watch extra film or give his team a big pump-up speech. Instead, he pulled out his razor and shaved his grizzly beard into a mustache. "I had to do something to keep everyone's mind off of last week's fluke," said Greene. "So I found a way to have them focus on my face... for better or worse." The muzzy worked for the veteran 2L as he potted a Bobby Orr type goal (if you don't know what we're talking about, first get out of here, and second, check out the video here).
The team was also inspired by the 'stache, especially 1L David Fleishman who sniped three goals on the evening. All three of the goals were definitely highlight reel material, filled with dangles and bar down snipes. "The tendy was giving me very little space, so I had to find the small spots over his shoulders," said Fleishman (obviously through an interpreter). "That guy was definitely one of the best netminders in the league, so I had to bring my 'A' game." Fleishman was seen pre-game massaging and caressing his stick, which is probably the reason he had such a great game.
In other team news, 3L Caleb Merrill scored a hat trick tonight in one shift... but not your traditional hat trick. Towards the end of the game, Merrill missed an empty net, hooked a guy, and was on the ice for the opposing team's goal. He's the first Justice hockey player to record such a feat since former goon Max Horowitz pulled the trick last season.
And congrats to 1L Wes Gerrie on his first career goal. While it was a nasty gino, it was Gerrie's celly that stole the show. Don't worry, some fans caught it on tape:
***Ok, but seriously, the other team did not have a goalie and played 6-on-5 the entire game. Whatever, we're all beauties and that's all that matters.
