Blue Makes Moves to Catch Green

The Bud Light ownership of hockey powerhouse Blue was not satisfied finishing second to rival Green last season and has taken steps this summer to try and remedy the situation. Coach/GM Gary "Toe" Blake who won "The Bud" Luckern Trophy for coach of the year will now have to match wits with Blue's newest hire of Coach/Gm. Bud Light announced today that they have hired long time Budmen coach John "Stuffy" Stevenson to take the helm and help deliver a championship to the Blue faithful. Stevenson led the Budmen to numerous championships in Fitchburg but has fallen on hard times lately in Fitchburg with his team failing miserably last spring and some critics saying that he has "lost control of his players". "We felt a change of scenery will help Stuffy get back to his winning ways", said a team spokesman. "I'm thrilled", said Blue's goaltender Tom "Harry" Harrison when learning of the news via a text message he recieved while vacationing in Disney World. Harry won "The Stuffy" last season for the league's top goaltender. "He preaches "the defense first" philosphy that should appeal to Harry who is in the final year of his contract. Blue did not stop there however, they also announced that have completed a big trade involving five players. Blue has acquired Dave "Tilly" Tillotson and Mike "Hipshake" Farrelly from Green for Dave "Greasy" Pallisi, Jeff "Kano" Kane and Dan "Too Late" Early. "I am thrilled to get those guys", said Tom "Shemp" Champagne when he was informed that Blue picked up Tilly and Hipshake. Blue has been looking for some offensive guys who can get Shemp back amongst the scoring elite. Green GM Toe Blake said, "We think we've made our team a better overall team with the trade and we have plenty of guys who can pick up the offense to replace those two". It has been rumored that Blake and Tilly have never seen eye to eye on how things should be done in Greenland (not the country)*. No one can argue with the success that they had last season however. "I'm really looking forward to training camp", said Stuffy Stevenson, "I would warn my players to be ready because no one's job is safe and we have plenty of young talent waiting to take the place of any slackers."
* In Greenland the country, things are still done the same way they've been doing things for the past four hundred thousand years which is jumping from iceberg to iceberg clubbing seals.
