ANN ARBOR– Despite several Ruination players managing to “lighten the load” prior to their game, they failed to lighten the mood as the team had to settle for a 1-1 tie. Defenseman Mark Woods, in the process of “making weight” as is known in the wrestling arenas, stated that he felt “about ten pound lighter,” though there was no corresponding increase in speed. “First I did it, then I played like it,” said Woods in exasperation.
How many not so obvious ways can we make scatological references?
Sean Payeur received two minor penalties and a 10 minute misconduct, and sat for much of the second and third periods. “He sat so long, the only thing missing was a newspaper, and a matchbook,” quipped Woods. “Which is weird, because I distinctly remember him leaving the locker room looking… concerned.”
While Devin Collingridge said the the team “just couldn’t get it going,” other teammates were quick to poo-poo the idea, noting that the team “just needs to relax, and it’ll flow.” Others noted that the team didn’t dump the puck enough in the offensive zone.
Despite the tie, the team still remains unbeaten. To celebrate, several players promised to head to the Motor City Casino for some “craps.”
