While it may be a bit early, the City of Providence, R.I. has just gone into party mode !!
Blessed with an NHA Hockey Franchise this year the Whaler's Front Office decided to jettison every legitimate hockey player in their organization. The fans in Providence didn't care !! The PLAN was an immediate REBUILD. The fans of the Whalers didn't care.
Now the team has actually WON it's very first game !! And, the entire City has decided to celebrate. The Mayor is right now debating whether to set this Saturday as "National Whaler's Day" !!! Well ..... it wouldn't really be national, but, we could call it the "Local Whaler's Day"!! Where every player could be given keys to the city. Well .... we wouldn't have that many keys to give out. But then, we really don't have that many actual players anyway!
I know what you're thinking ..... aren't we really JUMPING THE GUN HERE ?? After all, it was just a PRE-SEASON GAME !! And truth be told .... the Whalers were badly outshot and actually outplayed by the lowlife Bandits !! I mean the Whalers could only generate 14 shots !! And, that's through three full periods AND AN OVERTIME!! But, thank goodness for Travis Zajac. He not only scored the ONLY goal in regulation, but, he also somehow managed to slip the puck through Jonathan Quick's legs in the shootout for the win. Quick was shown to be doubled over in laughter prior to the start of the shootout ...... don't quite know what that was all about. Anyway he didn't seem to be laughing much after Zajac goosed him while slipping the puck through the FIVE HOLE !! What a great game !! Even ancient Hal Gill got so excited he took on Jan Hedja just five minutes into the game. Way to go Gill.
So, YOUR N.E. Whalers are off and running. Crushing the competition early and often. Can this upstart team ..... this ridiculously overmatched bunch of goonies continue their rise to greatness ................................... ??
