The raccoonist headquarters are located in downtown Ottawa - home of noble and respectable things such as BeaverTail pastries and hockey pride.
Because of this, the raccoonists have decided to contribute to the recent hockey mania that abounds amid hockey playoff season and the very exciting Senators versus Ducks rivalry by adding a sports column to our already awesome blog. Our sports commentary will naturally outshine that of all the current newscasters and sports writers...so prepare yourselves Sens fans! Things just got way more hockey-y around here, as the raccoons have donned their jerseys and hockey hats. Also, we are waving sticks around in the air. (That's something you sports guys do, right?)
Oh, and we're drunk.
Anyway, here's the breakdown on the super exciting game last night (game ummmm three) in the series:
So Burt Murpheyson grabbed the puck and smashed his stick into the net. Then a bunch of guys playing on the back line hurled a shot into the goalfield, followed by a very exciting block and serve by the star player (and town hottie) Barney Binkers. The crowds went crazy, and the half-time whistle blew, just as the goal-master announced, "Nobody likes a shut-out!" Amen to that, eh? Heff Skateston did some swishy stuff on the ice with his stick and then slid and stopped really fast and made that screechy sound. Then he head-butted Murpheyson and stole his stick and threw it to O'Connor. So then things got back to skating around for a while, and in the end there was some really great stick stuff and some pretty decent puck chucking. And aside from the shut-out, it was a real lip-biter of a game. Too bad about Bingo Jefferstein missing that basket shot! I think we're all a little sick about that one.
Stay tuned for more riveting sports updates live, as the exciting hockey finals continue.
GO SENS GO!
