If one reads the article from Mar 1, 1968, you will see similarities between the "Golden Jet" and the man they call "Jet Lag!"
Craig was "Welcomed Back" to the Elkhorn line up on Sunday night to the sounds of ridicule, admonishment, and the chants of "look at the size of that guy!" He is used to it, throughout his storied career he has faced adversity many times.
Well, the big man delivered with 3 goals and countless assists leading the Horns in 2 critical victories.
"Seriously though, when I saw him enter the room, inside I got this warm feeling, a feeling like we were all going to be taken care of", admired Peter, the Elkhorn GM.
"Mark was not there and we thought we may have a gap, but trust me, that guy getting his knee brace pulled off by Ron and Glen did a job out there".
Craig has been sidelined by a strained MLC which has forced him to sit on the sidelines for most of the season and spend more time at the MLCC.
"It finally feels stable, up until now it has been tough" indicated a very tired Craig after working hard all night. "It's good to be back, I don't like being on the payroll and not contributing like the team needs me to".
Playing with Nathan and Dave (Both Junior Elkhorns) was a great start to the "Franchise" Player's year. "I like playing with those guys, they really seemed to gel with me" touted Craig.
Goals of the night go to Rick Dees for a nice shot from the point, Ron D always seems to be there at the right time, and let's just say that Rick H seems to be on fire lately making opposing goalies look silly. And Tim, he got his fair share of hi lite film! "JK" was a rock in goal as usual. Kevin, hello, where are you?
Glen scored a "beaut" and Randy M continues to frustrate defenders, acquiring the occasional penalty along the way. Tough defensemen are not hard to find on this team.
The Horns fire it up next Sunday at 11 am, giving lots of time for liver stretches before the Super Bowl. Get your livers ready The Herd is coming to Smitty's and they are bringing hell with them!

Just wanted to say the if Craig was around in the late 70's I would have jumped his bones instead of the Golden Jet's any day.
Call me Craig, I'm just the right sized girl for you...I have a gap you can fill any time.

I witnessed it, some were yelling who is the new guy? well, the only thing new about him that night was his "Calder" performance.
There were a few zippers locked shut after that one.

Always looking said,
Just think if you were in shape Craig, you would score 3 goals a game.
Dirty Elkhorn
I would "do" anyone of those "Taco Belles",,, period! Where the hell did they come from? Yowzaa!!!
OK...is Craig playing...or is his boo boo gonna force him to sit out? If he plays we win.....if he doesn't, we probably win.
Either way our chances are good....real good.
Now that Beauj is back the Herd may have to move from Div 4 to Div 1
Watch out Wolf Pack- there's a new herd in town!
Commish

Friday night....just strappin it looking at those taco chicks.....

totally ridiculous that when a guy says he is coming to Smitty's and does not show....that is bad...real bad!
Glen? Rob? Hello?
Whatever.....have some consideration!
The Tacos will be at Melrose this Friday Night (some less Fuzzy than others)
WHAT NO UPDATE!! THIS CAN NOT BE THE REAL ELKHORN BLOG...
Let me preface my comments by saying that I usually don't get involved in reporting on such amateurish sport programs such as Spnge Hockey (real mean play hockey), but I couldn't escape from writing about the injustice I witnessed while watching my buddy Hugh Caulk play last Sunday, in what may turn out to be his final game.
The 'Horn', finishing off their mediocre season playing the number 1 ranked Shannonegans and very quickly found themselves in a 2-0 deficit! This would not do for two seasoned veterans on the heard and very quickly, Always Looking was ejected from the game for one of the most vicious cross checks seen to date. Very shortly afterwards, the Elkhord GM (after showling up late for the game no-less) got tossed for dancing with one of the Shannonegans in the corner.
Here comes the injustice...after single-handedly handing the 'Horn their first tie (remember, against the #1 ranked team) Hugh Caulk "yet again" fails to be recognized for what he brings to the Herd, each and every game!.
"Hell, I'm used to taking a back seat (to Beautiful Beaujolais), I do it all year round"...It was just that this time around, while he was in the hot tub with the girls from the Fuzz Tacos, that he was reminded of just how BIG a member of the "Horn" he really is.
At that stage Hugh snapped and threatened to quit an illustrious career with the "horn" and even mentioned, "unless things change, I may even ask my cousin Hugh Glove to forgo the upcoming ball season"!
This reporter can't wait until this Friday to see if the "Horn" management fixes this broken team in time for the playoffs and takes care of the guy who got them their in the first place. Good luck horn and most of all Good Luck Hugh!

Don't worry Hugh & Mr. Tait; Elkhorn management has not taken your skills lightly. That is the exact reason this is the "Unofficial" Elkhorn blog; someone other than management is in cotrol of this particular blog.
Everything is in place to make a serious run for another championship; the only bad news is that rumour has it that Craig & Ron (they are twins by the way) may not be available Friday night as they are still celebrating their birthday from January 25 for some strange reason, but we are still confident we can go all the way.
Mr. Tait; you will soon see that there is nothing better than watching & then drinking with the Elkhorns. See you Friday.
