Just when you thought there was nothing worth getting up for on friday morning (other than work), you find out there is a carnival in Fitchburg. Who wouldn't want to ride on a ferris wheel on a cold windy night in March? Apparently people in Fitchburg like it. They also like Bud and hockey. The Thursday Night gang has made the pilgrimage to Fitchburg (not to watch the Fenguins)to try to bring home more hardware to the Capitol City. Some of these guys just can't get enough. Former Fitchburg champions The Budmen got off to a rough start on weds night by getting a beat down by a younger and hungrier squad whose name we won't mention. "It didn't feel right playing on wednesday", said Tom "Philby" Philbrick of the famed Philby Brothers. "Wednesday night is usually reserved for watching game film to prepare for Thursday", explained Dave "Tilly" Tillotson of the famed Tilly Brothers. "Wednesday night gets here way too early", lamented Joe "Joe" Farrelly of the famed Farrelly Brothers. Friday night the Budmen will have to regroup and hope they can kindle some Thursday Night Magic. This year marks the first year of Thursday Night expansion team Bud Light playing in the Fitchburg Civic Center. Bud Light fared better than the Budmen by tying their first match on wednesday night. They were extremely loose which is a sign of their youth. "We felt no pressure" said Tom "Painch" Painchaud (pictured yucking it up in the locker room prior to the game). "It felt like a walk in the park compared to Thursday Night", he added. "Hell, I thought it was Thursday!", exclaimed a confused Greg "Hernia" Fournier. The famed "Cummy" brothers provided much of the offense while Kenny "Don't you love her Madley" Bradley played solid in nets. Bud Light played without the services of George "Dumpin" Chase who was flying back from Spain on wednesday. " I was disappointed that "Dumpin" didn't shown a bit more committment by highjacking the plane and having them fly directly to Fitchburg for the game", said Captian Jim "Hazy" Hayes who once high jacked a Concord Trailways bus to get him to Henniker for the start of an NEC game. We will be reporting back early next week on the Thursday Nighters and their quest at Fitchburg.
