Mo's ground Hawks 3-1

LEWIS CENTER, OH - The Freakin' Eskimos are at it again.

"Back to their winning ways," said Arrowhawk defenseman Mike Gauthier after last night's 3-1 loss to the Mo's. "We never really put it together tonight. Our lines were always messed up and Carp kept complaining he was hungry," he added. For the record, Carp sucked it up and finished the game without going to get Jensen's jar of peanut butter.

"You have to give them credit. They have some skill and play well as a team," said captain Mark Monahan. "That's one win for them and one win for us. The next one will be the one that counts the most."

The Arrowhawks got their lone goal from defenseman Tommy Parker III, filling in for one of the missing Arrowhawks. Defensive stalwart Nick Lanctot was not in the lineup. Neither was perennial sniper Tom 'I never met a bottle of rum I didn't like' Morgan. Lanctot was on a field assignment for the popular reality show Finding Bigfoot. Details are sketchy, but locals speculate the crew had cornered the shy hairy beast in a rural town in Minnesota and needed an experienced tracker.

"It hurts to miss the game, but something keeps eating my family's crops," said Lanctot via text message.

The win moves the 6-3 Eskimos into a three-way tie for second place with 12 points in the highly competitive division. The Arrowhawks and Maple Leafs trail the surprise Whalers, 7-1-1, with 15 points.

"There's plenty of hockey left," said RW John Kenyon. "We'll answer in the playoffs."

GRIFFITH POINTLESS
The Freakin' Mo's were able to accomplish another feat last night, holding Arrowhawks center and leading point man Kevin Griffith without a point. Eric Ott and the rest of the boys should be commended for doing something nobody else in the league has been able to do through 8 games.

"Trust me, Kevin is anything but pointless," Monahan worded strongly.

  2. I wasn't there but I'll find out from Gooch if he liked the socks! I'm willing to bet the mind games played a roll in throwing him off his game -- but he did notch an assist so maybe he was playing angry!

  3. Kevin is tough to move from in front of the net, so the key to keep him off his game is tell him dirty jokes and tickle him.
