🏒🔥 BOTB Sunday Recap – Battle of the Biscuit 🔥🏒
Sorry folks, I slept in. Prioritizing rest, recovery, and hydration before the bloodbath at 11. Doctor’s orders. 😴☕🍻
5th Place Game
Rapid City Goal Diggers vs. Billings Half Fast
Both teams came to work earlier than a roofer in July. Tight battle, one-goal grinder, but Billings Half Fast pulled it out and skated away with the 5th place spot. 👏
3rd Place Game
Puckin’ Bison vs. 2-Time Champs Zamboobies
This one was nasty. Back-and-forth, tit-for-tat, no free ice anywhere. A real greasy spoon breakfast of a hockey game.
In the end, the Zamboobies reminded everyone why they’ve got banners, taking home 3rd place. Respect where it’s due. 🥉
🏆 THE MAIN EVENT
Tatanka’d Up vs. The Dirty Herd
Now THIS is what you all came for. Two Sheridan teams. Same town. Same ice. No love lost.
I deleted a cup of stoke, said a quick prayer for the boards, and watched absolute mayhem unfold. ☕🤯
Opening Faceoff Cinema:
Ref blows the whistle… t i m e s l o w s… puck drops…
BAM 💥. Hadley vs. Destiny. The puck squirts loose and we’re off like prom dresses at midnight.
Hadley snags a pass, takes off up ice with Tatanka on her heels swatting like raccoons in a trash can. She jukes, pulls Miranda out, and roofs one just over the pad. 1-0 Herd. 🎯
Tempers Boiling:
Destiny answers with a hip check that missed more than my high school guidance counselor. 🚨 Off to the box for a mandatory adult timeout.
Both teams start crashing the net like Black Friday at Walmart. Shot. Rebound. Chaos. Shot again. Rebound.
Then Kyla jams one in. Ugly goal. Greasy goal. Stage 5 clinger of a puck. We’ll take it. 2-0 Herd. 😤
Middle Frame Grinder:
Destiny and Bre were starving, firing pucks from every angle, but Ally was standing on her head, shoulders, and whatever body parts were still available. W.O.R.K 🥅💪
That girl saves more rubber than a failed vasectomy. Absolute best in the biz. 🥅🔥
Second period locked up tighter than a nun's kickers. Legs slowing down, passes smarter, defense tighter. Both teams showing they know how to actually hockey.
Third Period Carnage:
Second wind hit and the pace went nuclear. 🏃♀️💨
Bodies flying, lanes clogged, double teams everywhere. You couldn’t carry a puck through center if it had diplomatic immunity. ❌
Katusha wanted one bad, but the Herd shut the door. Bre and Destiny kept coming like telemarketers during supper, but nothing would fall. Did I just see Tara fly by at mach 10 and let one rip?
Then the barn stood up. Crowd rowdy. Noise up.
Hadley carries it in… winds up… BOOM. Third goal. 3-0 Dirty Herd.
Cue the tears, beers, and stories that won’t match. 🍻
Final Thoughts:
What won this game? Chemistry.
The Dirty Herd found their rhythm... moving the puck, supporting each other, trusting the breakout, and playing as one nasty little unit.
But Salute to Tatanka’d Up. 🫡 They never quit, never sagged, and made us earn every inch of ice. Tough team, real team, beauty team. 👏
Honest Fan Take: This was some real hockey, and one of the fastest women’s beer league games he's seen. Full tilt from puck drop to buzzer. 🚨🔥
Fast, physical, skilled, emotional. Everything you want in a championship game. Absolute privilege to be part of it. 🏒❤️
