Tool Academy

tUMD 2, Recipients of tUMD's Charity 4

(Sorry this was late, I had an exam this afternoon.)

Well, to borrow an eastern term, that was a wicked pissah. I should have known better than to drive to St. Cloud, but I just love seeing my Bulldogs and can't stay away.

So, the refs were crackerjack as usual, making only correct calls, according to St. Cloud fans. People who do not understand the rules of hockey because their team dives so much they think a check is interference and skating hard for the puck is taboo.

Aaaaaaaand of course, the fans did not disappoint. And by fans, I specifically mean Bruce Raboin, father of Husky captain Garrett Raboin, and also a sad, pathetic man who felt the need to harass tUMD fans both last year and this year by threatening them in front of the police, making obscene gestures, taunting them, and getting in their faces. This man is representing his son and St. Cloud State University (of which he is a guest) in an embarrassing manner. (Similar to how Brad Shepherd embarrassed his father this weekend.) Now, Bruce, I know that you were selected in the 8th round of the 1980 NHL draft by Washington but never made it to the NHL, and that must really burn, but must you really pretend you are still in college? You're an elementary school teacher at Roosevelt Elementary School in Detroit Lakes. What would the parents of your students say if they saw how you behaved at your son's hockey games?

Enough about them! Let's talk about us! We need to have a little huddle here. Justin... honey, I know the other week on the Penalty Box we were talking about fundamentals rather than flashy stuff... but that penalty shot was weak sauce. It would have been a game changer. It would have turned the tide from those shorthanded goals that the power play gave up, and the dumb penalties, and the phantom penalties, and the missed chances. However, it wasn't the only chance... so really I'm just disappointed that you didn't have a nifty move to show us!

I'm superstitious about my jerseys, so maybe it was my Curry jersey bringing bad luck. Or maybe it was having the ACTUAL Curry stalker in the building!!! (No, people, I'm not the shoe-stealer/letter-writer Viking chick.) Or maybe they didn't get the memo that Tuesday is my birthday (I keep forgetting, too) since I didn't declare it my Birthday Game (meaning now the first Clarkson game is a MUST WIN!) and they weren't properly motivated. I don't know. Whatever. Losses happen. Especially at the National Center for the Weak On Their Skates.

Happy Birthday, RWD.

It is only fitting that the Bulldogs make a present of a victory. And, Jacky could get a hat trick just for you. :-}
