Mucker's

"Can this be true?" Mucker questions the Minnesotan. "Yes, Mucker. As a kid, we played 'Duck, Duck, Gray Duck'" Slick Joe argues. "Well that is dumb, it is called 'Duck, Duck, Goose'...what did you play Fuchsia Light, Teal Light?" "You are a wise guy for being a pretty lousy hockey player" Slick points out. "He is just mad you left him in Thief River Falls a month ago." The Sheriff explains.

This past Sunday, Shame on Ice (7-3), took on the league leading Roadrunners (8-1-1-1) at the Breck Arena.

Slick Joe returned to the line-up after a couple months off, (4 bus trips, 3 trains 2 taxis, 1 bicycle and a brief stint on a mule.)

This was the second meeting of the two teams.

"What is Target wearing?" Brickhouse Mike plugs his nose. "It is his new good luck routine" Grumpy Smurf continues "He has been wearing garlic cloves and sage as his pre-game ritual." "Ah Man, I'm playing D" Lady Byng complains, putting Vicks VaporRub on his nose.

Shame on Ice took the early lead 1-0 as Brickhouse Mike knocked home a goal,assisted by Scooter Scott and Anvil Amy. The tightly contested game was well played as both teams went up and down the ice. The Roadrunners tied the game 1-1 in the second period. Target, and his garlic cloves, made key saves as the teams ended regulation time each scoring just one tally.

"So what are you going to tell me next Slick? Minnesotans don't think Humpty Dumpty had a great fall?" The 6th defenseman chides. "I'll be right back" Slick Joe jumps over the boards in Overtime.

Shame on Ice (8-3) defeated the Roadrunners (8-1-1-2) by a score of 2-1 in overtime.
'Slick' Joe scored the game winning goal assisted by Thor and Grumpy Smurf.

Target was the first star of the game saving 22 of 23 Roadrunner shots.
