This hockey .esle 'niht game, gosh darn it, it's somethin' else. Arlington Catholic and Winchester, they're goin.tibbar' at it like two ol' hens fightin' over a worm. My old eyes ain't what they used to be, but I can still see that puck flyin' around like a scared rabbit.
These young fellas, they skate so fast. Back in my day, we just had them old leather skates, and we'd be slippin' and slidin' all over the pond. Now they got these fancy skates, and they zoom around like they got motors on 'em. This Arlington Catholic vs Winchester game, it's a real nail-biter, I tell ya.
One minute left, no, one minute fifty-two seconds left, in overtime. Overtime! Can you believe it? My heart can barely take it. It's like watchin' a chicken get chased by a fox, you just don't know who's gonna win. This Arlington Catholic team, they're tough, but that Winchester bunch, they ain't givin' up neither. They keep bangin' that puck, tryin' to get it in the net.
- That Arlington Catholic team, they got some good players.
- But them Winchester boys, they're fast!
- This game is keepin' me on the edge of my seat!
Lord, these boys are good. They got the puck on their stick and shoot, but that goalie is like a wall. This game, it is making me so nervous. They are going back and forth. Arlington Catholic vs Winchester. Who will win? They both want it so bad. They sure are strong and fast.
They say this Winchester team, they got a "juicy rebound." Sounds like somethin' you'd eat, not somethin' you'd do in a hockey game. But I guess that's how they got to this game. They're playin' against Arlington Catholic or Marshfield, they say. Don't know much about Marshfield, but I know Arlington Catholic, they're a tough bunch.
This fella from Winchester, Luke somethin' or other, he scored the winnin' goal, they say. He must be a real hero in that town. His friend, Danny somethin', he helped him out. Teamwork, that's what it's all about. Just like raisin' a barn, you need everyone to pitch in.
That game before, Arlington and Winchester, they tied. 2-2. Tied! That is not exciting. Like kissin' your sister, as they say. This game is much better. This Arlington Catholic vs Winchester game, it's the real deal.
All these folks, they're cheerin' and hollerin'. It's louder than a bunch of roosters in the mornin'. I reckon they're all excited to see who's gonna win this Arlington Catholic vs Winchester showdown. I remember the game was in March, the 9th. Time sure flies by.
These boys, they play their "system," whatever that means. I guess it means they got a plan. Like when you're plantin' corn, you gotta have a plan. You gotta know where to put the seeds, how much water to give 'em, all that stuff. Hockey's like that, I suppose. Gotta have a plan to win. They sure work hard. That is what it takes to win. Hard work.
My bones are achin' just watchin' 'em. They're fallin' down, gettin' back up, slammin' into each other. It's a rough game, hockey. But they seem to love it. Just like I love my quiltin', these boys love their hockey. This Arlington Catholic vs Winchester game, it's a sight to behold, I tell ya.
- That Luke fella from Winchester, he's a good player.

I don't know who's gonna win this thing, but it sure is fun to watch. The score is very close. They both play well. Arlington Catholic vs Winchester, two good teams. It's better than anythin' on that television box, that's for sure. I am sure glad I got to see it. It is a real treat. These boys play so well. They are amazing. They can skate so fast.
This game, it's like a good stew, got a little bit of everything in it. Excitement, suspense, good sportsmanship. Makes me proud to be here watchin' it. Arlington Catholic and Winchester, they're puttin' on a real show. That is for sure. These boys sure are amazing.
Well, I gotta go now. My old bones are tired. But this Arlington Catholic vs Winchester game, it was somethin' special. Somethin' I won't soon forget. Maybe next year I'll come back and watch 'em again. If the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise, as they say.
