Kings of Comm Ave: HE Season begins under the bright lights of the Dick Umile Scoreboard

Quote of the week:
"The champagne tastes just as good on the road as it does at home."
Indians 1st Basemen Ryan Garko just after his team got clocked in game 5 and before they got further trounced in games 6 and 7.

Yes, Ladies and Hosers, the real games have indeed begun. And this new season of Hockey East starts off with the Good Guys in Blue paying visit to the Miniature Poodles of Beancan U. Of course this meant that once again the Hosers would be basking under the high definition glory of the Dick Umile Scoreboard.

As history has shown, Comm Ave has been a kind place to Hoserkind (not just T's Pub either) and your Masters were looking forward to getting this new season off to a good start. Of course old Beancan U couldn't resist flaunting their precious Beanpot trophy that no one outside of Boston cares about as a means of attempting to put a positive spin on their failures of last season. Of course the Poodles were still yipping in sorrow over the loss of their Hobey Baker Winner that never was, Butters Sieve Curry.

1st period:

Well no one appeared to know what to expect from either team as they both were coming off unexpected losses just the other week...And right off the bat it seemed that both were still reeling from those losses. Your heroes were less amused than an MVU failure at a smoke free Ziggy Marley Concert.

Meanwhile down the road in Newton (NOT Boston). The Brokeback Coll Douchebags were set to take on the NoDak Fighting CENSORED in another battle between these two rivals...Instead, it was another Fog Rave Night at the Conte. While the BC folk were all about the usual glow stick, fogs, techno music, and popped collar atmosphere, the fans from Grand Forks were somewhat bewildered by this metrosexual behavior and angered that they flew out all this way just to end up getting two periods of hockey and an all night trust fund techno rave.

2nd Period:

So we're down 1-0 after a period of mostly being shorthanded, and just who do we look to right this wrong of wrongs...Unfortunately while Bobby Orr was in attendance, he was unavailable, so Captain Hobey took care of that problem. In other news, the most wonderful event occurs in Merrimack. It's the long anticipated battle between the Beavers and the Trojan Condom Warriors of MerriMat.

3rd Period:

More penalties, more BU faithful reveling in their beanpot. But then the Son of a Fritsch let a laser of a shot right past the BU goalie that everyone wished was still Curry. So things have begun to look up in the world yet again...But do we stop there? NEVER!!!!(cue diabolical laughter). Mr. Radja proceeded to tack on the insurance to make it 3-1. Would we call it a night then? That's like asking if there any branches to a Mainers family tree..the answer is NO! Just because he can, JVR dances his way past several inept beancan u defenders and nails down a highlight reel goal and ultimately Coach Umile's 400th win behind the UNH bench.

So we begin the Hockey East season with a solid W, but the road is long and littered with many challenges and even more Mainers with failed lives. Next week we play host to Colorado Springs Community College at Lake Whittemore. Until next week remember, when life has got you down just remember, at least you're not a Mainer or as of this weekend, from Cleveland.

Good day, Eh
