Help may be on the way for the army

Tuesday night was an eye opening experience for all in a attendance. That is all 7 of us plus 2 call ups from the colts that were able to help us out with some much needed man power. As we were getting dressed GM Fillmore was able to make it too the game and even dress last night, but that wasn't the interesting part. A recent scouting trip to Vegas proved quite fruitful for the Army. Not mentioning any names but i wouldn't be surprised if Jagr didn't sign in Edmonton but rather signed in Didsbury on a Red Army exchange program. Details were a little sketchy, but suffice to say a cement mixer was mentioned and possibly developing a pipeline of players from the KHL to the RA. At least Steve did do some work away from the ice. On the ice the Cremona Mustangs were the opposition for the RA and it turned into a basketball match early on. There were so many bounces it was tough for either team to get a handle on the game, thus it was tied 2-2 after 1. The one highlight goal was a nice passing play from mix to Gord and then Gord seemed to aim it off of Mike's stick so Mike didn't even have to shoot it. In the second period the RA were able to gain control of the game and turn it on except for the one minute where Gord made sure that Steve knew he was minus 2 in under a minute. Again it was a balanced attack as Ryan had a couple of goals, Mike, and Gord and Calvin chipped in. Even the rookie Pat was able to control the play and bury a couple of nice goals. The RA seemed to have some jump, maybe it was Fillmore returning to the lineup I'm not too sure. (Hopefully that is enough print for Steve). The RA now enjoy a week off before hitting the ice again on Tuesday night. As well, there was some optimism that Bucky would be back on skates if nothing else to ref possibly, or at least Gord said to get the wuss to ref or something like that. See you on Tuesday, Monday night if the game is in Crossfield though.
