Old Dawgs Stay On Top With 3-1 Victory

The Old Dawgs remained at the top of the SDOHL table this week, thanks to a gritty 3-1 win against B&K Supply last Thursday night. Their 12 points keeps them one clear of Touchstone Imaging, in what should be a tight race all season long.

Old Dawgs captain Marty Richardson was forced to miss the game, because he was in San Francisco attending the semi-annual convention of the Financial Advisors Guild (FAG). And team leading scorer Mario Lopez couldn't make the game until the middle of the second period, because he claims he has an important role at Sports Authority. Also, solid defenseman Dave Chamberlin was gone, leaving the Dawgs a little short on the blue line.

So when your two leading scorers are gone, and you're facing the toughest goalie in the SDOHL in young Timmy Kmetz, who do you turn to?


Holy shit- Wimmer?

Yes, forward Mike Wimmer, who only started playing hockey last year and has improved every time he steps on the ice, came through huge for his team by scoring his first and second goals of the winter season. John Thielen also popped in his first, and Dan Cashman added two assists, giving him five for the campaign, which leads the league.


Cashman

Goalie Doug Witschger, filling in for Al Sterner, who complained of a very mysterious groin injury, had a terrific game, turning aside 20 out of 21 shots. The Old Dawgs defense, including Greg Clinard, Jimmy Tiernan, Eddie Cribbs, and a split game by Lopez and sub Rodney Saunders, played very well in limiting the quality shots against Witschger.

The Dawgs struck first just under five minutes into the first, when John Thielen gathered a Dan Cashman shot, and slid the puck under Kmetz pads and in the back of the net. Ten minutes later, Wimmer got his first, when he stuffed in a rebound off of another Cashman shot to double the Old Dawgs lead.

The Dawgs got some reinforcements in the second period, when Lopez and Eric Wilks arrived. Now with 12 skaters, the boys made it 3-0, when Wimmer took a Greg Clinard pass, and fired a wrister to Kmetz' stick side. The puck snuck in just inside the post, and the Dawgs had an unlikely comfortable lead heading to the third.

B&K closed the gap to 3-1 six minutes into the final frame, on a goal by Dawgs II player Paul Schuette. But that was as close as the game would get, as B&K was held to only five shots in the period.

The Old Dawgs will try to continue the good play tonight, when they face the Over 40's at 8:45.

Because of all his recent hockey success, this week Old Dawgs defenseman Jimmy Tiernan got an endorsement contract to sell a beer that nobody has ever heard of.

Old Dawgs captain Marty Richardson surprised even himself, when he set a new record at the FAG convention in San Francisco this week. He was able to cram a grand total of four dicks in his ass.


Sweet muscle shirt, Cap...

Goalie Al Sterner claimed that he missed the game due to a groin injury suffered while playing earlier in the week. Further investigation has revealed that he was actually injured while performing his new part-time job.
