BROIV Recapatation Part Duex

Spirits were high as we approached the official beginning of The 2013 Brolympic Games. Team Army's unity was at an all time high. Group texts, clandestine training meet ups and over the top strategy talk dominated the last few months leading up to BROIV. I can only assume Team Blue was preoccupied with catching up on some online Double Dribble fan fiction, or training for something completely unnecessary, like gargling tequila while reciting the 1992 Phillie's roster in reverse alphabetical order.

...and then, after the pyramid formation, the cheerleaders did something called "the human centipede".

Regardless, the months of build up had lead us to this point:

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

OPENING CEREMONIES

For the fourth year in a row, Team Army gets an early lead in beverage consumption as Rossello performs his customary opening bong.

Folks...get used to this.
  EVENT ONE: STREET HOCKEY

 Despite an intense rivalry and some tight games, Team Blue has bested Team Army every year in Hockey (as well as the entire Brolympic games...if wikipedia is to be believed).  It didn't appear as if history was going to change as Ty lit the lamp and put Team Blue up 1-0 early in the first period.  They made it 2-0 in the second and Team Army was having a difficult time solving Blue's defensive scheme.  After some intense back and forth action, Team Army found the back of the next and halved the lead, 2-1.

 
The third period brought out an whole new intensity from Team Army as Rossello and Weaver both fired shots past Lewis.  One of the goals being a beautiful one-timer off of Rose's stick (if I'm remembering correctly and not just flashing back to the 8-1 thumping of the Blues I just administered in game 2 of my NHL14 Stanley Cup Final.)

Do you believe in ALMOST miracles?!! With Army nursing an unheard of 3-2 lead deep into the 3rd, Team Blue tied it up with a late shot from someone that I also don't remember. (stellar work me!)  You smell what I smell??? BONUS HOCKEY!  You heard it here last...unlike an ellipsis, three periods wasn't enough. (whaaat... grammar humor?!! Watch that highbrow sh*t merno, I came here for booby references and fart jokes!)

Flashback to BROI which also went to OT.  Like a virgin on prom night, it only lasted 7 seconds as Pigott took the face off and buried it past Lentz.  This years OT lasted a few more pumps as both teams traded chances.  Midway through the extra period Deluca took the ball from behind the net and beat Lentz to the corner post for his second goal of the game and put Team Blue in a familiar position, up 1-0 for the day.

Team Army Goals: Weaver (2), Rossello (1)
