After a very long week of work, and partying, I’m back in the saddle. Yesterday I had a half day at work and took a tour of Fenway – and drank about 112 beers at lunch. After the tour was over I went up to Lowell for the Lockmonster game. The game was a pretty good tilt, with a fight between Mitch Love (LOW) and Geoff Peters (POR) in the third period. The fight was pretty good with lots of uppercuts and straight right hands from Love. He missed with a couple of huge bombs that, had they landed, would have really hurt Peters. But here’s the thing. He should have fought Trevor Gillies.
From the drop of the puck, Gillies was out there doing what he does. The first time Love turned him down, they were jawing at each other at a faceoff. It was in the neutral zone, and it would have been the perfect time and place to have a go. Love turned Gillies down at least three more times during the game. I can’t figure if it was because Love wanted no part of Gillies, or if Coach Rowe didn’t want him to fight Trevor or what, but it was kind of a let down man. It really bummed me out. Here’s hoping tonight they have a scrap when the two teams meet again tonight in Portland.
