Things didn't look good from the start for the Posse as they showed up to the game packing only 6 hommys, a goalie and no heat. Things went from bad to worse for them at the 6:27 mark of the first period when their defenceman Kevin "IRA" O'Brian decided to argue a suspect (at best) interference call being assessed against him. Well the referee involved did not take kindly to Mr. O'Brian's objections and awarded him an extra 2 for unsportsmanlike conduct (oh-oh). This gave cause for the repulsed Posse boy to reassert his displeasure with the striped official and the whole situation. He did so in no uncertain terms as witnessed by these virgin ears thus earning himself an early shower. Not a sensible hygiene regime to be certain. This left his Posse homymates with only 5 skaters and for a couple of them that is using the term most loosely. On the positive side they would not be called for a "too many men" infraction. Mr. O'Brian, after all his fussing seemed to loose his bearings in the area of his now empty bench. After departing the ice surface to serve his sentence it took him several attempts, turning in confused circles all the time howling at the moon before he could locate the exit door. (don't let it hit you in ass on the way out Kev :o)

Piccolo proceeded to pepper the padded Posse personnel between the pipes with a relentless enthusiasm. He stood on his head for the first period keeping the score down to a respectable 2 to 0 in "flavour" of the Gelatoheads. (Now if he could only learn to stand on his feet. Ha-ha !! I kill myself with suicidal sarcasm)

The second period proved to be his undoing however even after his tuckered teammates were able to close the gap to 2 to 1. Piccolo continued its onslaught of the Posse "hood" largely unabated and eventually ran the score up to 9 to 1. It was in the middle of this onslaught that the Posse netminder decided to basically give up stemming the barrage of rubber he was facing and concentrate on berating his beleaguered physically spent over matched Posse mates. Not sure what he expected of the spare-less team in front of him facing a full compliment of Piccolo power but I'm sure he had good reason and will explain it to his mommy over a hot chocolate when he gets home (y). (Oh my pass the facial tissue honey)

Leading the way for the Piccolo Grande Gelaoheads were Commandant Joe "Big D" German with yet another hatrick and "Captain" Eric Romanica, bravely manning a defensive post pulled a rabbit out his hat as well stomping the road apple 3 times. Adding singles were our favourite Homo-Path Dave "Hedges" Benson, the still free on bail Craig "Boom-Bang" Beauville and the Canadian Idol Winner 1973 Greg "Popstar" Popoff. Of note, besides the whole Piccolo lineup was the little big man himself Steve "Cheesy" Hamburg, he of the "Olden Arches" who skated a mile, rang the ferrous uprights at least twice and chipped in with 2 helpers most likely from the lip of the crease. He was quoted after the game as saying " No Pepsi just Coke"

Last but not least, (well maybe) from the:
"Who Really Cares but You're going to Find Out Anyways File":
Piccolo goaltender, Andy"5hole " Sommerfeld did decide to have a shower after the game so he could wakeup for the ride home.
