On this day in History we lost the Eggman.

December 9, 2023

Yes, on Dec. 8th 1980, Mark David Chapman shot and killed John Lennon. He was an obsessed fan that wanted the last autograph of the famous Beatle. A sad day in music history indeed.

In the hockey world last night, the first game, Quick Dam versus Green Goddess, ended in a 1 to 1 tie. The real story was the third period where it was green with envy in the sin bin. Goddess was down two players. They staved off that little knurly, keeping it 1 to nothing. Goddess scored in the first early. 28 seconds into the tug of war on ice. Peter Meegan on the goal. What they didn't know is a Murphy was in the house. Not just Shannon, but her broski Johnathan. He put the road block in the win and tied the game at just over 2 minutes to go. And that would do it. 1-1.

In game two, this train went off the rails in the second. Looks like Mark Clarkin got the first goal. Not sure how to count all the goals for Vescera. If you go by jersey number Eric Rondeau had a goal and 3 assists. Pete Meegan scored. Shane had 2, those were legit. In the end it was 4-0 going into the third. Early in the third the big CB for Final Touch. Shannon Caverly set up Derek Anderson for the early goal. Bob Watts, with the second helper. Unfortunately, Vescera erased that to make it 5-1. Suffice it to say, they used all the tools in the box. Even had Mike Baro come down the ice to try a shot on net. It may not be legal, but it was funny. So, yeah, Vescera Law 7-3.

Late game, Votta Properties, missing three stars, got three other stars. Edge Doctor, also down some peeps. It was good game all around. After one the score was tied 2-2. Edge Doctor started the scoring with a goal by Ben Mello. Votta answered with a goal by Steve Donavan. Later  in the period, big Sexy, Ricky Votta snuck one in to the right. Andy Morrison for Edge got the tying goal. After saying he never scores. At the end of 2 Votta would be up 4-3. Richie Dias with one early. Nick Nardone would answer for Edge with a beauty of his own. In a subbing role, Mark Kosinski would put one in. In the third, Adam Babikian would score the tying goal midway through. Late in the game, a tip in by Ricky Votta would give them the game winner, this from Kreg Labelle. Arguably getting the gwg, but we saw what we saw. Votta would go on to win 5-4. cause i suck at hockey.

Hope everyone has a good week. Wicked Rhode is playing at Stevie D's tonight in East Providence. Come one Come all. That sounds dirty. heee heee.
