FALMOUTH, MAINE. AUGUST 22, 2011 - Goals by Matt "Dipsy Doodle Dandy" Noone and Peter "Pete" Eremita capped a late game rally by the Morning Hockey Club Gold Weasels and led them to an 8-6 win over the surging Blue Dogs, who had slapped the Weasels smartly in recent weeks but could not hold onto an early lead today.
The Dogs jumped to a 3-0 lead before the Weasels began to chip away and ultimately tied the contest at 4-4. Leo "The Lion" Iacopucci's go ahead goal for Blue did not stand up and when the final buzzer sounded it was the Yellow menace that had prevailed.
Both clubs were down a few players, and the Dogs were especially undermanned, with several players apparently absent due to book tours and autograph signings out of town.
As usual goal keepers Walt "The Wall" Leland and Jim "Red Light" Secunde were outstanding during extended stretches of end to end action. Secunde continues to shine though playing under a cloud as he processes appeal after appeal of his $1 billion 98 cent fine for disrespect of a MHC relic, based on his scandalous treatment of the Cardinal Richelieu Cup after the Weasels (undeservedly) won the Cup during the last playoff series. The Cup was at rink side this morning but appeared to have been spirited away by a shadowy figure who observers said resembled Brother Etienne Du Fond, the monk who escorted the Cup to the USA for the recent awards ceremony, and who reportedly was released from federal custody just last week. The man who looked like Du Fond was heard shouting exhortations at Weasel Richard "Gidge" Veilleux, the Francophone star who performed well today and scored a key goal in the Weasel rally. Club officials are seeking to recover the Cup and have put out a call to Weasel Cup players to determine who has not yet had his day(s) with the Cup.
Brian Linscott wants all his fans to know he "played a good game" this morning.
