Green Party Ahead in the Polls

Team Green made it two in a row over rival Blue last night at The Doug. The win keeps Green atop of the Eastern Conference while Blue remains in the cellar searching for answers and a much needed win. Blue made a few changes to their line up by adding veteran d-man Brian "Tilly" Tillotson who replaced forward Dan "Too Late" Early who watched from the press box. The move was designed to bolster a leaky defense that gave away the puck far too often in the previous game. Not to be out done; Green coach Gary "Toe" Blake made even more changes to HIS line up by calling up Tom "Painch" Painchaud and Gregg "Moose" Moffett along with Jim "Heathy" Heath who returned after missing the first three games with a torn BYOB ligament. Heath, a five time all star and NAHL Hall of Famer was on top of his game and earned first star of the game honors. "There was no sign of rust what so ever", said Dave "Motor" Carlson on Heathy's performance. "Motor" was named second star of the game. "Heathy controlled the tempo of the game", said Tom "TC" Carroll. "I think I speak for the whole team when I say that Heathy's presence on the blue line gave us a shit-load of confidence". Moffet and Painchaud played very solid games for Green. "Toe" is a genious!" , exclaimed Tom "Berg" Bourgault who lit the lamp several times and earned third star honors. " The Toe knows what he's doing behind the bench despite all the paint fumes he inhaled during the off season", said Mike "The Little Cum" Commerford. In other action last night, Magenta stumbled again by losing a seven goal lead to Yellow. The loss keeps them tied with Blue at the bottom of the standings.

The NHL and CCHL lock-outs continue and many of their fans are now faced with choices of what to do if no settlement is reached. That's why the Lingerie Football League is making a bid to the NBC Sports Network to broadcast their games. I think fans will be very excited at the product we put out there", said league president Fannie Pinch (wife of former Coachman Dick Pinch). "This is a HUGELY talented group of athletes with skills up the whazzu". Each day that passes with no settlement to the NHL lock-out brings new signings of players to the KHL and the Swedish Elite League as well as other leagues around the world. Now, in inside source tells us that the NAHL has signed it's first NHL player to a "temporary contract". Pittsburgh Penguin defenseman Matt Niskanen has signed a one year deal with Mauve and this may open the door for more NHL players to stay stateside during the lock out. Pen's owner Mario Lemieux was not happy to receive the news and told The Pucking Files this, " The NAHL is a highly competitive league, but what worries me is the lack of supervision that goes on after the games. Young players are especially vulnerable and I worry that they may make bad choices that could come back to haunt them later in their careers. You know when a player like Alexander Rudulov signed with them that the NAHL attracts a certain type of player that may not bode well for younger players looking to make a bright future for themselves. Matt knows where I stand, but he's an adult and that is his choice. I keep my fingers crossed that we can settle the lock-out soon so Matt and others don't end up there in the NAHL. Where there is smoke, there is fire and I think I smell smoke in the NAHL".
