Bible Boy Brings Luck

THIEF RIVER FALLS, MN. - A white out day brings the planes to the ground, thus a chance for complete strangers to meet. This was the case today as Joe Klosterman’s plane was grounded due to the winter storm moving through the area. Instead of missing the game and letting his team down Joe rented a car and drove through treatourous weather to sneak into town just before the face-off. Joe met a complete stranger, a truck driver and a bible man who found true love on e-harmony.com. One has to wonder what was said in the car journey of five hours because Joe brought his “A” game tonight in a very convincing 3-0 win for team white enroute to the first shut-out of the year.

Bob huot got things started for team white mid way through the Miller game when he picked off an errant Brandt clearing attempt and snuck one off the far right post past Shoan Nelson for a 1-0 lead. It wouldn’t take long for Bucky Covington to make it 2-0 with a wicked wrister that found its way through a narrow five hole. The Green giant needled a pass through heavy traffic to find Bucky who rarely makes mistakes in (his office) the slot.

A pissed off Blair Lund lead to the final goal. Bob Huot who would like to remain anonymous said anonymously “it’s kinda hard to see anything when your heads down all the time.” Blair appeared to be flying to the offensive zone when he threw the breaks on when he apparently thought they were going to be called offside (NO ONE WAS OFFSIDE) and whistled a puck at Shoan Nelson. Nelson couldn’t handle this wicked way off the mark spazzing shot and it found its way to the far boards where team dark was able to handle it and bring down for a golden opportunity to cut the lead to one; however Haugen was unable to pull the trigger.

It was at that time that Mr. Green (Derek Lee) threw a pass/shot up the boards blindly however the Pollock knocked it down quite surprisingly but couldn’t handle it and it went to a sleeping Huot that somehow snuck behind everyone and slithered the puck 5-hole on Shoan to put an early night to team darks hope’s of a big comeback.

Klosterman was brilliant all night long and stole the show in the Miller game as well as he stopped all shots he faced to earn the Busch light 1st star of the night.

Key Notes

Iron Lung or the Great Lung was caught drinking after practice at the legion. Is this a fine? We’ll let the blog sort this one out.

Brian (the bartender) had more popcorn made than we knew what to do with, but the trouble is he’s a dude and doesn’t get a star. Possibly a step ladder to his truck though?

Well we wish the prowlers good luck tomorrow night as well as the Bantam A’s in Fergus Falls for VFW play as well as the Squirts in there big tournament in Fargo. All other teams that are not mentioned we wish you all the best as well.

Oldtimers practice next week has been canceled in hopes that we all head up to support our Prowlers in what were all hoping for is a TRF Vs. Warroad final and a berth to the stat hockey tournament.

We’ll see you all at the rink!
