Apparently the trade deadline came early

Tuesday night found the army inviting the carstairs muskrats to town. As we looked around the dressing room we weren't sure if the RA had a fire sale at the trade deadline. With only 6 skaters and Tommy in the pipes it looked like Reimer had traded away everyone for future considerations that hadn't arrived yet. Nonetheless with Mike working some on ice deals we were able to borrow 3 Muskrats, so that helped accept we had to rotate the officiating again. The first period saw Brian score the first three goals of the game but only 2 were for the RA one was against. Then the muskrats banked one in off of a borrowed defenseman so it was tied at 2 after 1. The second period intensity picked up with bodies being hit all over the place, except it was the Muskrats hitting their traded teammates. This freed up the ice for the RA and they were able to spring out to the lead that they would not relinquish. The second period hi lite was Mike showing off a glimpse of his former self with an end to end rush that ended up being a breakaway from the blueline in. He made no mistake. The third moved along as both teams started to run out of gas, but the RA did prevail with a balanced attack, where even newly converted forward Mark bulged the twine. It was a good all round effort put in by all six of us. We are still waiting for an update on the injury status of Bucky-Cole, Gord was wondering if he had been to the hyperberic (maybe) chamber yet to work his rib. The next action for the RA goes Sunday in Crossfield where the Madden Maulers present the opposition. Guessing from the past few turnouts it will again be bring a friend night. Until then- Good Night Now!!
