(vol.
33W, no. 10; newsletter by b.n.)
Someone told me that the objective in hockey is to win the final game of the season ... and if you happen to score the game-winning goal in that game, well, that would be pretty cool ... especially if that happened to go into overtime.
I guess for some teams that is the mark of a Championship season.
But if you fail to make Playoffs, then really how meaningful can the game be?
Especially if the only reason that you made the final game was you had to take a forfeit in a scrimmage game.
But what the heck ... I guess it beats losing the final game ... in overtime.
And the guy who scored the game winning goal?
Kevin is going to kick his ass when he realizes that there are no aliens in this newsletter ...

THE

For making a cigar run to pay off his “fines” and bringing some premium smokes from Señor Juan's.
