Line 1 vs Line 2

Ernest Hemingway was a wise man when he said, "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk." Some say that by living by this adage, Hemingway truly lived his life to the fullest. Others claim this mantra merely attributed to his penchant for fucking fat chicks (yes Ernest, the hills truly do look like white elephants).

Regardless of one's take on Hemingway's rationale behind said statement, it is a statement worth pondering, and sometimes, worth exercising. Such a case has arrived this season. The night Mike "Mike D'Ignazio" D'Ignazio's contract with the Red Army was leaked, a drunken wager was made between four Comrades, or rather, two lines. Pat King and Mark Hendricks (AKA Line 1) said that no amount of chemistry on a second line could outproduce them. Steve Hand and D'Ignazio meanwhile, well, they mostly texted each other backdoor jokes ripe with sexual innuendo. But the fact of the matter is, we got some inner team rivalry brewing.

So here at the R.A.D., we're going to monitor this war. The comments section of the last post was incorrect in claiming that Line 1 is off to an early lead, because well, last game was the only game that the lines were actually set. In the first game, King played defense, and therefore, neither line was existent. Here is the ledger for the war so far:

Line 1: 7 points (3 goals, 4 assists)
Line 2: 8 points (4 goals, 4 assists)

Interesting Note: King is the only Comrade without 2 goals and 2 assists.
More Interesting Note: King is the weak link.

It's early, but advantage Line 2. For now.
