Midseason acquisition

Dickie Dunn – Charleston Press

The Otters announced Wednsday that they have acquired Ice Oasis mainstay , Tirso from the Yaks and assigned the up-and-coming centerman to the team’s top development team, the IOAH Oasis.. Speaking from the Board of Governors meetings in Boston, Otter GM Aden Nolet said, “Tirso is the new face of Ice Oasis hockey. We have watched the young lad develop quickly and felt that he now would fit into our system nicely. Although we don’t have room under the salary cap to bring him up to the Otters right now, we need to keep our eyes on the future, Heck my dad is like 50 now and I don’t know how much more hockey he has in him…”

Tirso responded to his first game in green by scoring one of the prettier goals, this reporter has seen. For those who might have missed the game, I posted video of Tirso’s goal.

In other game related news. Tirso’s nimble goal was not the only remarkable event of the night. Defenseman David Warner was spotted on ice playing LEFT defense. Additionally, Warner, still angered by the fact that his fellow teammates failed to notice his shaved upper lip several months back, registered another two goal performance.

Nursing a career high 9 game goalless slump, Otter’s lumbering forward Gary Ahern, seemed to vent some building frustration late in the third when he took a Sahara Desert defenseman into the glass and finished with what could only be described as a “textbook check”. “It’s not often you sit in the penalty box and have the referee skate by and give you props for a solid check” said Ahern.

Is there any truth in the rumor that in light of rising gas prices, Ted will be selling his American made muscle-car and looking into buying a Smartcar? “Only if they will paint rally stripes on it” said the plucky forward.

There has been “careless whispers” going around the locker rooms mentioning and upcoming Kegg'r Party….I am sure there will be more to follow….

Dicky Dunn out!
