Oh what a game to miss! Any game where it was reported that Amanita had to help break up a fight - even now, typing these words a few weeks later I can't believe it - is a game I would've loved to have seen.
Apparently, some player on the Thunder got pissed at Snootch and punched her in the face mask. After the game, this same player came over to Snootch and called her something like "the dirtiest player ever." Tempers flared. Amanita and The Bearcat, who actually coaches the Thunder, intervened.
Might've been different had the Thunder won. It's one thing to be a sore loser, and yet another thing entirely to be a sore winner. (In my other life as a tournament Scrabble player, I've definitely met my share of sore winners - a strange group.)
But let's give that Thunder player some play: what does it take to be called "the dirtiest player ever." What is Snootch actually doing? She may be the chattiest player on the ice, but dirtiest? Again: C'mon!
Game puck goes to Snootch, just 'cause.
Incidentally, this was the first game Vito missed. In another life, Vito used to play for a club in California, and this weekend, a few of those players came to Wisconsin to participate in the Eagle River Pond Hockey Championship. Playing for the San Francisco Treats, she got to hoist the cup!
San Francisco Treats! That's a great team name!
