Reapers Summer Bash

It’s the end of July, so you all know what that means…Reapers Summer Bash!! Every season the Reapers GM throws a party for her team, alumni and some special connections she has within the VHL and VHLM. The guest list includes VIPs from both leagues and is rumoured to get quite wild! Today we have a compilation of tweets, quotes and short stories from the party guests, after reading this it is sure to feel like you were there right along with the rowdy Reapers living it up and enjoying the good weather!

A Shark in Narwhal’s Clothing…

Elasmobranch Fish @Sharkstrong of the Calgary Wranglers is known across the VHL as Shark, a nickname he has picked up do to his fascination with the aquatic predators. Much like the animal he loves Fish is know for his great instincts and being able to take advantage of most situations both on and off the ice.  He has recently taken up a position with the Reapers helping new defensive talent prime themselves for the VHL.

Now if you didn’t know beforehand GM Katherine Blade, send out her may Reapers summer bash invitations telling everyone that is was going to be a BBQ at her private summer beach house which is located on a lake, guests were told to bring their swimming attire and that everything else would be provided. Fish who like his name would suggest spent most of his time in the lake with the majority of party goers.

Elasmobranch did a couple of tick dives off the dock and did a few quik laps to get warmed up. He seemed to quickly get bored or these singular activities and went to check out what was going on with everyone else.  Fish smiles when he saw one of his favorite defensive trainees lounging on a giant Death Star floatie sipping a lemon flavored beer. Condor Adrienne @Green  had always been one of Fish’s favorite D-men to tease both on and off the ice, the guy is a firecracker! He seemed to be talking to Fang Flashback @uphillmoss who was on a giant rubber ducky float. Fang had mounted the duck as if he was going to ride it to Triumphantly to his VHLM cup. Some of the regalness was lost as Fang’s large size ensured his limbs hung over the side of the huge smiling rubber duck and were submerged in water, most regular sized people would not have been able to get a single toe in the water but such is the life an almost 7 foot goalie. Fish listened to Fang casually mention that he needed a bigger Ducky and heard Adrienne quip back that he is sure all the ladies think that his “duckie” was undersized as well. Without any warning Fish decided to have some fun with both bickering VHLmers and flipped Adrienne’s Death Star floatie.  Condor hit the lake with a big SPLASH! When he resurfaced all, he could hear was fang laughing uncontrollably! “At least I can stay on my floatie, you smart ass!” Flashback called out to Condor while laughing. A strangled cry was all that was heard, it was a declaration of war! Fish offered to help Condor go for the Ducky and helped him make a plan to go for the  over confident goalie! There were so involved in their planning they didn’t notice when Jubo also entered the water riding his own duck.  The tandem of  D men whet for the first duck they saw flipping it with all their might causing the occupant to go flying into the water with a huge SPLOOSH! It was @Jubo07 and he was not happy…”What is your problem?  Adrienne you will be doing laps till your legs fall off!!” but his treats were lost on the young D-man as he was out for blood and there was a large goalie on a ducky who was about to go for a swim!

It only took a second or two for Fish and Adrienne to come up with a plan B. They weren’t just going to flip Fang off his ducky, oh no…that would be to easy. They were going to pop that sucker and really get him going!  Adrienne came up to the back of the ducky this time checking to make sure fang was on it and stabbed the ducky right in the tail creating a large gash with his pocketknife. All of fangs weight caused the ducky to quickly deflate and he was submerged in water in no time. He looked to Fish and Adrienne with anger in his eyes “what have you bastards done to my poor ducky! You killed my precious duck!!” Flash stood in the water and gathered up the deflated duck, he swore he would get his revenge but first he would go to Blade, maybe she could fix his precious ducky.

And what can you learn from this experience @Green @uphillmoss?

 

Just like when atacking from below de water surface, be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.

Don't think you are off the hook you fish! Once I get through with Condor I am coming for you. No one messes with my duck and gets away with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
