Pythons avenge former loss to Ice Demons, 5-3
Well, the press is starting to wonder about Hitch (Zimmy) and what it's gonna take to get back in the Wins column again. The Ice Demons drop yet ANOTHER game, this time to their equally-matched rivals from the MDL Western conference (or do we say "Divisions" ??).
No score after the 1st period, as both the Demons and Pythons were playing each other tightly. Simmons knocked a puck out of the air early in the 2nd to score a beauty of a rebound goal, and then Ice Demons responded with a goal of their own. Unfortunately, the Pythons racked up 3 really quick goals soon thereafter, and that was all they needed, as the Demons could only muster 2 more for the rest of the game. (The 5th Pythons goal was an empty-netter.)
We had tons of rebound chances, but no one on the doorstep to slam them home. The Pythons goalie came up big on many saves, and we didn't. Sometimes you'll have those games.
Although the refs didn't cause us to lose, I will note that again, they sucked. What happened to the quality refs we used to get in the MDL? Are we really getting the best we can for the raise we've given them? C'mon....our league HAS TO BE THE BEST AROUND, and I mean that from an officiating stance. I'm sure other leagues have more "boo-birds" than we do. You'd think refs would prefer reffing our league as opposed to others like Twin Ponds or Allentown. We're a (extraordinary) league of gentleman, aren't we? ;-)
In closing, let me say that I didn't mean to rail Shay into the boards in the 2nd...that wasn't a cheap shot---he just threw on the brakes and turned to reverse direction, and I was already right on top of him. You can't stop a truck on a dime you know. ;-)
All in all, a clean game. I look forward to playing the Pythons again and tipping the series score towards us since it's 1-1 now for this season. We need more teams like the Pythons in this league (clean, fair players). Then again, several times are like them. I'm having a hard time thinking of any teams I truly dislike playing. The last time I can recall, that was the Pugs when they had the real assholes on their squad. (But thankfully, they've purged those shitheads from the league and the MDL is all the better for it. See what I meant guys??!? Zebras don't change their stripes. It's unfortunate that I was right about those few dooschbags. Now we don't have to worry about cheap shotters--at least as much.)

Thanks for the compliments. I always look forward to Pythons/Ice Demons games.
From Shay: regarding the penalty, no harm done, forgive and forget, see you on the ice.
