The Real Season begins...Without us there

Quote of the Week:

-A whiteboard fact of life

So it has finally begun ladies and Hosers. The UNH Men's Hockey regular season is underway.....And we couldn't be there. Yes, not since the Cuban Missile Crisis has such terror been felt. A hockey game without the hosers present is a scary thing. But rest assured, there will be no such thing as a UNH Hockey weekend without a hoser or two present from here on out.

But of course, we were not without hockey to partake in this weekend. Our beloved Women's team was doing what they do best: Making other teams feel about as hopeless as the typical UMaine student. The Brom Bears were the latest team to enter Durham and fall victim to the offensive machine that is the Women's team. While a 2-0 score might not seem like much, with the exception of the Brom goalie, every player on that ice not wearing white seemed more like they were practicing being a cone for Halloween. Another night, another win, another ridiculous shot total for UNH, and another Apocalyptic rampage unleashed by Maggie Joyce that make an F5 Tornado look like a window fan.

Meanwhile, on the otherside of the country, the Men's team traveled to Colorado to battle the Community College Tigers. I can only imagine just how depressed that campus must have felt when they heard we Hosers weren't going to make the trip. Personally, id trade a couple trips to Lowell and the pep band to go out there (then again, id trade the city of Lowell and the band for a stick of gum anyday). We hosers, being the resourceful beings we all are, found our own ways to enjoy the games on the radio.

Game 1 started with CC gaining an early edge, but soon enough they learned the hard way not to make Matt Fornataro mad...You would not like Mr. Hobbey Baker when he's angry. With an impressive showing from the freshmen and veterans alike, the good guys came back and took game one of the weekend series. Meanwhile back home, the hosers quietly celebrated the victory (the sonic boom from our laughter could be heard in Kansas).

Now with game 2, UNH did not give Community College so much as a hope or prayer at any point in the evening as they dominated start to end. The CC starting goalie was driven from the game late in the action and was last seen climbing to top the highest peaks of the Rockies where he will more than likely begin his conversion to the Church of Hosers. 7-2 good guys, 2 games, 2 wins, 11 goals for, 5 goals against, the 1st sweep of Community College at their rink by a non-WCHA team, and one very happy Hoser Nation. This time the celebration was ever so slightly louder than Friday's (there were no survivors).

Well that's all for me this week. Be there next week as Um-ass comes to town followed by the rejections from Cambridge Community College. Im out, somebody has gotta open that rink bright and early (6am) on Sunday, and that somebody is me!

Good day, eh!
