WWGRD Stumbles Against Sundance Kids

WWGRD was coming into action on Wednesday night on a high, fresh off their first win of the season and were looking to make it two straight as they squared up with the Sundance Kids. WWGRD had a slightly deeper bench then they had been playing with the last few games, as they were able to ice two defensive pairings and three full forward lines for the Halloween Matchup. The Sundance Kids carried the play early on, testing Johnny Tracey early, who was coming off his first career UWIHL shutout. WWGRD was only able to generate opportunities off the counter and weren't really able to sustain much offensive pressure in the first half, but reached the halfway point of the game at a 0-0 draw thanks to more stellar play from the Woodslee Wall.

The scoring was finally opened up in the second when once again a WWGRD was the beneficiary of a bullshit bounce to get the puck passed the team's All-Star net minder. As a puck trickled towards the net through a maze of bodies, a blindly-flailing twig deflected the rubber passed a helpless Tracey to put WWGRD in a 1-0 hole.

For the second straight game, Johnny
Tracey is WWGRD's POTG.

WWGRD knew that one shift could bring them right back in to this game, and they got that shift from the Micelli-Brothers feat. Booter. With the puck in their own zone, the younger Micelli worked the puck to Sheldon Tracey who them cooly chipped it out to a steaking Mark Micelli before joining the rush himself. The elder Micelli took the puck wide, driving around the Sundance defenders before tossing the puck into the slot. The pass from the corner hit the pinching defender Tracey who pumped the tying goal home. WWGRD had hope, and this line wasn't done. After forcing a turnover in the offensive zone, Booter kicked it down low to Magic Mark Micelli who got a couple whacks at the puck before A-cap Seaner Micelli pounced on a loose puck to give WWGRD the lead. The Bench erupted, but had no idea what misfortune was about to come their way...

The Sundance Kids carried the play from the time WWGRD took the lead, and the Woodslee Wall was doing everything he could to hold on to the lead. Despite Dylan Berthiaume muckin' his heart off and draping himself all over the Sundance forward, the puck made its wait out front and the puck was pumped passed a helpless JT to knot it at twos with 50 seconds left. Off the ensuing draw, WWGRD pressured and had the play in the offensive zone, but when those dancing fuckers got the puck, they could only watch as a cherry-pickin' piece of shit was sent in all alone. He took his time and beat the WWGRD tendy that was left to dry to give his team the lead with 4.2 seconds left and seal the win.

"Losses don't get much tougher to swallow than that," Captain Marc Berthiaume said after the game. "We didn't deserve to win that game at all, Johnny was the only reason this was even a contest out there, but we just took a steaming shit on the ice there in that last minute." Dan DiCarlo was also furious post game, adding "JT put the team on his spine that night and we let him down. I'll take full responsibility for the defensive collapse and guaruntee this won't happen again."

WWGRD hits the ice next week on Friday afternoon, which is the beginning of what some believe to be a conspiracy in the league office to fuck over the boys in blue. Everyone knows the Friday afternoon slots are just the worst, and somehow WWGRD got stuck with 4 straight. A formal complaint has been issued to the league in an attempt to ratify this issue, but the tentative puck drop for the game is 12:01 on Friday, November 9th. The first 1,500 fans through the gates get an Eric Bauer jersey-tee.
