And there were lots of guys out there this past Thursday meetin' and greetin' between the sheets.
Ice C (Monday): Keith Rouselle vs Al Viel. WIN for Rouselle. The Molson Exers knock off a tough crew. The Viel squad are a tough team but not too tough for the Exers this week. They win the "Pump It Up!" Award. Elvis Costello would be proud (if he was a curler).
Ice D (Tuesday): Jim Kendrick vs Yvon Valiquette. WIN for Valiquette. Despite a tough season, the Valiquette crew are a veteran squad and can manufacture wins. As we move closer to the playoffs, I'm thinking this is when they are going to make their move. They win the "Come On Baby, Light My Fire" Award. Jim Morrison would be on board (if he was a curler).
Ice A (Thursday): Francois Lemieux vs Mike Laderoute. WIN for Laderoute. The Laderoute crew has been doing excellent this season with another solid performance this week. They are definitely contenders to make a good showing in the playoffs. They win the "Makin' It Work" Award. Huey Lewis would have to agree with that (if he was a curler).
Ice B: Bob Villeneuve vs Brian West. WIN for Villeneuve. The Villeneuve squad is another crew that got off to a tough start but since the second half, have pulled it together and are stringing some wins together. This is another crew that is solid and can not be overlooked as strong playoff contenders. They win the "Fly Like An Eagle" Award. Steve Miller would have to agree (if he was a curler).
Ice C: Michel Rivard vs Ryan Hagger. WIN for Hagger. The Hagger squad pull out another victory. Pretty good season for Ryan as this is his first year skipping in the Mens League. They have played some great games and they have nowhere to go but up. They win the "Movin' On Up" Award. Even George Jefferson would have to agree (if he was a curler).
Ice D: Chris Astles vs Ben Lemieux. WIN for Lemieux. The onslaught continues. The Lemieux squad are just tearing up the league. They are gunning hard for the top squad position and I am thinking they are close to their goal. They win the "Climb Every Mountain" Award. Julie Andrews would be pleased (if she was a curler).
Ice A (Late): Chris Zagar vs Rick Berthelot. WIN FOR ZAGAR!! And that is the big news for the week folks! The Zagar squad despite numerous close calls in past matches have posted the win. Just goes to show what perseverance can yield. The win the "I'm The Man!" Award. Joe Jackson would be right in there doing cartwheels with them (if he was a curler).
Ice B: Dave Mitchell vs John Hammond. WIN for Mitchell. The Mitchell crew are right up there in the standings and are looking to repeat as club champions. But it won't be an easy road for them as there are lots of teams that are standing in their way. They win the "We Are The Champions" Award. Freddy Mercury would be rooting for them for sure (if he knew anything about curling...and if he was alive).
Ice C: Brian Tonelli vs Glen Austin. WIN for Austin. The Thursday Newfie Bullet is also right there with Team Mitchell in the standings and are one of the teams that will be looking to stand in their way. So it is only fitting that the Newfie Bullet win the "Stop In The Name Of Love" Award. Dianna Ross would want this (if she was a curler).
Ice D: Dan Berthelot vs Rick Rouselle. WIN for Rouselle. Wow, what a first rate season the Posties have had! They have been playing top notch curling all year and look out in the play offs, they will not be easy to get by. The win the "Top Of The World" Award. Karen Carpenter would be on board with this all the way (if she was a curler).
And that is how the rocks curled this week in the Thursday Mens. I should mention that I will be tied up next week and will not get a chance to let you know any results until the week of the 19th. Stay tuned for that time and I'll try to get you back up to speed at that time. Till then....
Rock On!
