Montreal Roller Derby attacks Boston Derby Dames' mascot
Last week I attended a Boston Derby Dames bout featuring Maine Roller Derby's Portland Authorities, and Gotham Girl's Bronx Gridlock. It was a double header with double the Dames. Part of the Boston Massacre played the Maine ladies for a 30 minute bout, and then the Boston Massacre took on Bronx Gridlock. And wow, have those BDD's really improved since the first and only time I saw one of their intra-league bouts in '06.
During the first game the feisty Port Authorities started off strong and took the Boston ladies in the beginning jams. Shortly after Boston caught on and gave the PA's an ass whooping. Although I'd say it was a respectable ass whoopin', and considering MRD is not as experienced as BDD's they were amazing! I was really impressed with their team..and it just so happens that my team will be playing them in September. I managed to take a few mental notes for future reference. Unfortunately, my mental notes were soon forgotten after many plastic cups of crummy Bud Light. The final score was 81-31 for the Dames. Props to MRD for playing hard, and props to BDD for being rad!
I was convinced that the Massacre would be exhausted after playing hard for 30 mins already. Apparently I was wrong, because the Dames were as strong as ever for the following two periods. From the beginning, BM had a strong lead over Bronx Gridlock (might I add, one of my favourite team themes in all of roller derby!). Both teams are mighty strong, but BM managed to keep up with the blocks, hits, and amazing jams throughout the whole game. The end result was 116-49 for Boston. Definitely an exciting sixty minutes of roller derby.
Now to get to the most important issue here. MTLRD loved pinchy the BDD crab. We're not sure if that's even his name, but it will be anyway for the time being.
The next sequence of events will be explained through photos.
MTLRD spots their prey:
MTLRD sneak up and attack their victim. Note the look of fear in his eyes.
MTLRD threaten the poor lobsters life with his own weapon:
Instead of going through with the plotted kidnapping, MTLRD settles for a group shot. All was well again!
