Steamer action - Ghostbusters style!

Three in the box, ready to go;

We be fat and we be slow!

Try this after a hockey goal!

Christmas shopping - photo stuff is hot this year!

One great punch

  

This was not related to a goal scoring celebration.  That being said, Chowd and I attended and Oilers / AVS game last year and ended up sitting by Smid and MacIntyre who were both healthy scratches.  "Big Mac" is listed as 6-05, 250 lbs. and after standing by him, I am sure those are accurate numbers.

Update on Soccer

Sure, we are rooting for the Rapids, but regardless, here is an update!

Soccer Officially Announces It Is Gay

Welcome back CHUB ROCK!

Welcome back to the Chub as he just returned to the Steamer net!

Since you have always looked at me lovingly when drinking (despite us both being married)......

I had the military send your gear back for your continued goaltending!

We raise a toast to your re-adjusted Spleen!

Steamer Action

A special moment for the Steamer family. 
We've had brothers, cousins, uncles and nephews all play together.  And one time we had a Father / Son combo.  But probably more significant was this game where a previous young Steamer critiquer joined us on the ice.  

And there go the Samudios on a 2-on-2.
