Victory!

Boston 10, Scum Sucking Bastards from a Shithole City 3

GO SOX!!!

We played Michigan in Hockey this past weekend, one game on Friday, one on Saturday. I miss the Friday game, and checking the score Saturday, I see that we lost, 4-3. Apparently it was tied until there were 30 seconds left in the 3rd period and Michigan slips one in.

So I'm expecting to see one hell of a game on Saturday night, since Friday's game was so close. Instead I see what can only be described as the most brutal display of utter physical domination and athletic superiority by the University of Illinois Fighting Illini Hockey Club.

In the first few minutes we bounce one off the right post, just inches from having a goal. A minute later, we put one in the net, but it bounces off the upper horizontal bar in the back of the net and bounces out, and the jagoff in charge of the lights behind the net doesn't recognize it as a goal, so play continues. The crowd goes totally nuts, and about 15 seconds later the refs signal a delayed penalty on Illinois and discuss with the team captains and each other, and decide to give us the goal.

After that, it just went downhill for Michigan. End of the first period saw the Illini leading (I believe) 7-0. By the end of the third period, winning 14-1, the Illini are just having fun with between the legs passes and the like. Michigan was having some serious morale issues too, as one of their players received a 5 minute major and a game misconduct ejection for "abuse of officials". Basically, he punched a ref.

Michigan embarassed itself in other ways, but I'll leave those for later, as I need to get to class.
