G-force too much for Warhawks

In aviation, if a pilot is subjected to sustained g-forces he will probably black out. Now, however, the same effect can be found on the hockey rink.

Legendary Legend forward, and Alternate Captain, Tony Gregory has always been a force on the hockey floor. As noticed by his strong skating that has virtually exploded wheels, and his determined skills with the puck, it was a real blessing for the Legends, when he was able to recruit his youngest son, Scott to the club. But in an off season surprise, Tony convinced his second son, Ryan to join the fold. Fortunately for the the Legends, both have the same great attributes that have made there father a Legend , but with a bit more flair. Unfortunately for the Warhawks, uniting the 3 Gs on a forward line this past Monday at the Omni, spelled certain doom, as the sustained effect of 3 Gs was more than they could bare.

From the drop of the puck, the Warhawks were under siege by the 3Gs as well as the rest of the legend bench. Admirably the depleted Warhawks kept it close for a while only to succumb to the irresistible pressure. The final score was 9 to 5, thanks largely to a heroic effort by Warhawks goalie Garrett.

In spite of some defensive breakdowns, legend goalie, Matt Metros had another strong game. Next bash is Wednesday 4/29/09 at 7:00 pm. Get there early!

Wounds licked - Legends look to bounce back

After a thorough spanking by reigning league champs - the Jokers, the Legends look to make a strong comeback tonight against the Warhawks. After what was thought to be a measuring stick game, the only things that were revealed were that A) the Jokers will never contend for a sportsmanship award and B) the Legends were not quite up to their normal level of excellence.

With the exception of another stellar goaltending performance by elite netminder Matt Metros, the rest of the club appeared to be somewhat out of sink and sluggish. Only a hardworking goal by pesky forward Jason Meske spoiled the Jokers bid for a shut out.

The Legends will have a go at it tonight without alternate captain and versatile experienced defenseman Rick Watkins. Legends Captain Steve Parkes had this to say about tonight's tilt. "There is no way to put into words the value that a 'Rick Walters' brings to a team. I mean he has probably played about 9,000 games. It would take several players to compensate for that level of experience. Besides, he's one of my favorite people in the world to have a beer with after the game."

Next game: Monday, 4/20/09 - 9:30 pm at the Omni. Good seats still available.
