Battle of the GoaliesGood evening my fellow chiefs. Big D here with another report on our game from today. Again the Chiefs took to the ice for Game #3 as what has become a friendly rivalry between the RMT Chiefs and the Seoul Maple Leafs. There were a lot of bleary looking eyes at 7 o'clock in the morning and for good reason of course. Karl, the team's main motivator(and curser) decided to text everyone he knew at 6 o'clock in the morning to make sure everyone was up and ready to rumble. Needless to say he's still alive so he didn't wake anybody up.
Onto the game, with no goalies to speak of our very own T-bone" Look at me mom" decided to strap on the pads to face off against Seabass "I accept any challenge. Visions of the great Canadian goalies of past times were dancing through their heads as they made their way to their respective nets. Those dreams vanished quickly once the puck dropped. The game itself was a very slow moving game and Karl managed to keep a shut out for half an hour (might be a record for a non goalie playing for the chiefs) meanwhile T-bone had a little trouble on the other end but both goalies faired well in what Jari Kurri aka Steve Hawkins described as the "Shittiest chiefs hockey he's seen in a while." Well put Jari I mean Steve. He made his point by ripping one off the crossbar (from the blue line) and almost hitting me in the head with another shot.
After that comment the bench came to life and Ryan Casavant scored two goals with myself adding one and others contributing to the game score ( please post if you scored a goal) Grigory scored one at the first without a goalie in the net and Dave also shot one in. There was a bit of a mix up late in the game when the puck went in (high and inside the post) but wasn't called. T-bone called it a goal but of course would never mention it to the referee who for some reason, thought that the puck hit the post (kinda funny how it never made a sound). Our objections (or I should say my objections) fell on deaf ears. What a guy wouldn't do for video replay.
We won the game by a score of 5-3. It wasn't the best hockey I've seen in my time and it could certainly get better. But I'd like to mention again the stellar play of our goalies. No one force them to into the nets and they did a good job. For those who missed it, after the post game meal at Hyundai, some hard core Chiefs (Seabass, Ryan,Corey and myself) decided to head to the GS25 in Dangsan to have some beers. Nothing like drinking cold beer outside in wintertime while talking about hockey. Only in Korea... Next Sunday will be the final game in our month long series with the Leafs. . We need a lot of people. They've been coming out with 3-4 lines every game (even at 7 am) and we've only been managing two. So get out the skates and come play some hockey LET'S MAKE IT A CLEAN SWEEP.
Leave your name in the comments section of this post if you're interested in playing. If you put you're name down come and play. If things pop up then let the team know before game day (it's understandable if things arise that are unplanned for). Please don't put your name down and don't come without letting the team know beforehand. It leaves the team hanging and makes it harder for those who do make an effort to come out and play (especially at 7am) .

Tall Paul
I'm in for the 2 1/2 hour marathon game.
Also, Big D, there should be a time correction for the Sunday game time. 9:30-11:00= 2 1/2 hours just doesn't add up.
Ryan C
I'm in for sunday and maybe wednesday (if i can find the rink in the dark)
and yeah...good work on the write-up big d.
Right, thanks Ryan I fixed it. Seabass let your hockey sense lead you to the rink.. one's hockey sense never fails to lead oneself to a rink.
I am in for Sunday.
It starts at 9:00 - at least I am not gonna be so sleepy :)
Grigory.
We have 7 for Sunday need some more... goalies??
I'm in for wed and sunday.
why are we getting spam comments???
In the same way that there are programs that send spam to everyone through email, there are programs that scan the Internet for blogs and post spam in the comments sections... and it's probably just going to get more frequent until blogger implements some sort of spam filter for blog comments.
I am in for Sunday.
