Captain Kohn? We're gonna call him Colonel! October 7-2009

It was scoring, free beer, and a whole new attitude as Michael "Lost Boy" Kohn placed his definitive stamp on Team Velagic last night in his first game as interim captain.

The Red squad cruised to a 10-7 victory on the strength of Kohn's inspired leadership both on and off the ice.

"I try to lead by example" commented Kohn as he handed out free beer after the game. And what an example he was: potting one goal and assisting on three others.

Red Team Forwards Balyk, Livesay and Smith followed suit, scoring goals at a pace not unlike the 1985 Oilers.

Which begs the question: where was this kind of performance when Velagic was manning the bench?

"Mr. Velagic use to hit us with his stick and call us names" offered Cameron "Never Look Back" Smith. "Mr. Kohn, err Captain Kohn plys us with drinks and lets us do anything we want. Of course we'll do anythng he says."

The mood in the White dressing room wasn't so cheery.

"They came at us in swarms" said Commissioner Chasse as he slowly sipped one of Kohn's frosties "we couldn't stop them."

It was a short bench on both sides as several veterans opted to cheer on the Leafs instead of come out for a night of good clean hockey and male bonding.

The White Team were missing several key players from last year's championship squad, including defenseman Carter, "Hollywood Boy" Harp, Eugene "The Ripper" Lee and sophomore forward Paul Leblanc

"I can only hope we get some help next week" said Chasse "otherwise I'm going to have to start some lame parity campaign and try to rape and pillage the Red Team for its good forwards."

Will Chasse's ploy succeed? Will Harp finally show? Will Gord Woolley get off the couch?

Play resumes next week.
