Hipshake n Bake! Blue Stuns Green

The storied rivalry of Green and Blue added another chapter to what is arguably the greatest rivalry in sports. With two minutes remaining and the score all knotted, Mike "Hipshake" Farrelly put the ol' shake n bake on Blue's Joe "Say It Aint So" Farrelly and turned him inside out. He then swooped in on beleaguered backstop Kenny "Don't Ya Love Em Madley" Bradley and slipped a nifty backhander into the net and lifted the Green faithful out of their seats. The goal came less than a minute after Blue's Jim "Cummy" Commerford had just tied the game when he ripped a twisted wrista past Kenny "Rebel Without a Save" Dean. It was a wide open see-saw battle which had the lamp lit so many times that it caused a brown-out in the Capital City reported a spokesperson from Unitil. The scoring was led by Andy "BTO" Bachman whose five goals should have earned him first star honors, but Hipshake's flair for the dramatic bumped BTO down to the number two star postion. Bachman showed that last week's cheap shot only lit a fire under him and he was playing with a sense of purpose. Third star went to Tom "TC" Carroll who scored four goals. Twice the game had to be halted while hats were cleared off the ice. Both Kenny's were treated at Concord Hospital for 3rd degree burns on the back of their necks. After the game reporters caught up to Mike "Hipshake" Farrelly who told them, "I've always known that my brother Joe has difficulty turning to his left and so I exploited the only flaw in his game." When "Joe" was told about his comments, he fired back, " The only other time my brother Mike ever got around me was in a street hockey game on Gilmore St. in 1968." Joe's team won that game twenty three to eighteen. "We were coming back on them and probably would have beat them had my mother not called us home for supper", recalled Hipshake. Missing from last night's contest was Dave "Tilly" Tillotson who sat himself out in response to his abusive comments he made the week before to referee Phil Lacasse.
