Be still your Nucking hearts... Nucks firewagon takes to the road
If you and your circulatory system had seen enough firewagon hockey on Monday - this would be the time to practice look away meditation.
The Nucks beat the Shartlets in OT last month. Wasn’t that enough?
Nope. The Nucks are determined to win all their remaining games in OT. Well... determined is not the word to use. The Nucks are whoopsie-doodling their way to win. Or something.
Very entertaining, sure - if you can afford the drinks at the NM Game Thread Bar and Profiteering Center.
THE GOOD STUFF
The Nucks have summited the lofty heights, heights so high, we needed oxygen to keep breathing.
I know, often looked like Keystone Kops Krest K2 despite the challenges of gravity and careless ice habits. But here we are, getting dragged up the slopes of mediocrity possibly losing sight of our Bedard embroidered basement pillow.
Where was I... oh right.. recaping the Nucking drinking game - Bad Retro-Seals Jersey Edition. Game thread was optimistic and ready to protest the dress code.
Those jerseys on SJ, are bloody awful. Like REAL BAD. — Chicky
Turns out, the real reason for the tacky appearance was the special fire retardant material created for a night of track-meet firewagon action.
Just how we like it.
Nucks started badly, got down one early, then got 2 goals from Joshua to win the 1st.
GoGo Dakota — Raddy
Dakota had a fight and another goal - then the NHL took it away. Of course. Not the fight, just the goal. But... he wasn’t finished fighting, so yeah... took that away too. But not the penalty.
Early in the 2nd, Hogz put the Nucks up 3-1.
Guess what happened next?
Guess what happened next?
Correct. Seals tied it up.
And then scored the GWG in mid 3rd. Of course.
Guess what happened next?
Almost correct - after putting 2 shots on net in the 3rd, the Nucks went on the PP with 4 minutes left. Their 3rd shot - slap pass from Pete to Kuz backdoor was the goal that made OT and all our hyperventilating worthwhile.
Guess what happened next?
Yup. Marty, Josh, Kuz and Pete made all our game thread binge drinking worth the hangover.
