This here talkin' 'bout the Nauyekcoset vs Marblehead hockey g.ename, you know. That big game everyone's been yappin' about. Well, let me tell ya, it was somethin' else. That Marblehead, they was playin' like they had fire in their bellies. Nauset, they was s'posed to be the best, number one, you see. But them Marblehead boys, they didn't care 'bout that none.
I heard them Marblehead fellas, they started the season real bad. Lost six games right in a row! Can you believe that? But they kept on goin', kept on pushin'. They say they was number six, the underdogs. Ain't nobody thought they'd make it this far. But they did! That game was in that big fancy place, TD Garden. Sounds like a place where they grow tomatoes, don't it?
- Marblehead.sgod dliw , they was like a bunch of wild dogs.
- Nauset, they was strong, but Marblehead was stronger.
- That one boy, Rodovsky, he scored the big point.
They say this Rodovsky, he's just a young'un, a sophomore. Sounds like a kind of fruit, don't it? But he was fast, real fast. He got that puck in the net in the first part of the game. That's what they call a period, I reckon. Just like the end of a sentence, but in hockey. He put that little black puck right past that Nauset goalie. That fella's job is to stop the puck. He tries to catch it, block it with his stick, whatever he can do. Well, this Rodovsky, he was too quick for him. Nauset vs Marblehead hockey, it was a sight to see.
And that goalie for Marblehead, that Burdge boy. They say he didn't let nothin' past him. Not one little puck. He was like a brick wall, that one. Strong and tough. Them Nauset boys, they tried and tried, but they couldn't get nothin' by him. They kept shootin' that puck, but he kept stoppin' it. He was good, real good. Marblehead won 'cause of him, mostly. That's what folks are sayin' anyway. I don't know nothin' 'bout hockey, but I heard the talk.
So, Marblehead, they won. 1 to nothin'. One little point, that's all it took. They call that a shutout, when the other team don't score at all. Like they got shut out of a party. I guess Nauset, they was feelin' pretty bad. They was s'posed to win, you know? Everyone thought they would. But that's how it goes sometimes. You can be the best, the strongest, the number one, but it don't always mean you gonna win. Nauset vs Marblehead hockey, that's what everyone's talkin' about.
That Marblehead team, they beat all them other teams. The best ones, the top three, they say. They was like David fightin' Goliath, if you know that story. Little guy against the big giant. And the little guy won! It was like a fairy tale, or one of them stories you hear 'bout. But it was real, real as rain. That Marblehead hockey team, they showed everyone what they was made of. Guts and hard work, that's what did it.
I heard them sayin' it was like a Cinderella story. Like that girl with the glass slipper. Except these boys, they had skates and sticks. And they won the big prize. The championship. That's a big deal, you know. Winning the championship. The best of the best. And it was them Marblehead boys who did it. The ones nobody thought could. Nauset vs Marblehead hockey will be remembered, that's for sure.
Now, them Nauset boys, they was good too. Real good. They won a whole bunch of games this year. Twenty-two, I heard. That's a lot of games. But in this one, in the big one, they just couldn't do it. That Marblehead goalie, he was just too good. And that Rodovsky, he was too fast. It was just Marblehead's day, I guess. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. That's just the way it is. It's like plantin' seeds. Sometimes you get a good crop, sometimes you don't.
- Marblehead won the big game, 1-0.
- Nauset was supposed to win, but they didn't.
- That's how it goes sometimes.
Well, that's the story of that Nauset vs Marblehead hockey game, far as I know. A real nail-biter, they say. Kept everyone on the edge of their seats. I don't know 'bout that, I was sittin' right here in my chair. But it sure was somethin' to hear about. Them Marblehead boys, they sure did somethin' special. They proved that even if you start out bad, you can still win in the end. You just gotta keep tryin', keep pushin', and never give up. That's a good lesson, ain't it? For hockey, or for anything else, I reckon.
