It's not like me to come to the board whining after a win. It's not like me to whine at all. But tonight I lost all respect for the Eagles. What a bunch of classless, back slashing cowards. I thought these guys were tough. I thought they had big guys that could go toe to toe with anyone in the league. Are you kidding me?
Let's look at the numbers. Jay Birnie 6'3" 220 pounds. Jason Beatty 6'1" 210 pounds. Les Borsheim 6'2" 220 pounds. Ryan Tobler 6'3" 225 pounds. Kris Wiebe (rhyms with dwebe) 6'0" 206 pounds. Scott Polaski 6'2" 205 pounds. Greg Pankewicz 6'0" 210 pounds. Big guys right? Should be able to take on just about anyone in the league with a lineup like that. Maybe give McSween, Jacobson, Thompson and Vellinga a run for their money, right? With the exception of Thompson, these are NOT the guys they were going after. Nope these eagles (rhymes with beagles) go after Kevin Korol 5'10" 175 pounds, Matt Hanson 5'10" 195 pounds (okay maybe soaking wet he weighs that much), and Mark Carragher 5'8" 165 pounds.
I kid you not! These are the Brahmas they went after all night long! I just couldn't believe my eyes. They even took a cheap shot at Brett Jaeger 5'10" 190 pounds. Now I like gritty play. I think anyone who knows me, or reads my comments on the board, knows that I like GRIT. Well let me tell you about GRIT. It comes in all sizes. Korol, Hanson, Jaeger and, you better bet your last dollar, that Carragher are loaded with it. Even though the (b)eagles couldn't, or I should say WOULDN'T come after our bigger guys, our smaller guys never backed off. Carragher was like a little agitator out there! He had those Colorado Kool-Aid drinking pansies so mad they couldn't see straight. Birnie couldn't stand it! Beatty was punching AFTER the whistle, Borsheim really wanted a piece of Carragher, Wiebe and Polaski were hitting our guys IN THE BACK with their sticks. Cowards I tell you. No class, panty-waisted, yellow backed, lily livered, back slashing…
I think you get the idea.
And thank you, I feel better now.
