Change to the Site

I made some changes today with the website. I took out all of the closed polls and I added a new tab on the sidebar(entitled "old polls") that has the past results on polls with a small summary on how you guys did on voting on them.

Late controversial trade proves to be difference maker

After suffering a lop sided defeat in game 1, team captains JB and Ron made a trade. They swapped 2 defensive players, the new comer Eric for the seasoned Nick Burton. The trade didn’t provide enough offense as Ron’s team was beaten again, taking on the chin for a game 2 loss. JB’s stopper on d, Ariel, was blocking shots all nite with No Protective Gear! She gained the respect of all in attendance, however, some players thought she was nuts. Ariel’s mental and physical toughness wowed the fans and players alike. One anonymous fan commented that this will likely lead to a successful and lucrative coaching career. Inside sources have confirmed that Ariel lobbied for a trade to give her some much needed relief on Defense. There was speculation that Ariel was being slowed down by leg and foot injuries, however, she never missed a shift and continued to play through the pain. The controversial trade was for Brett, Ron’s best defensive player; for JB’s front line centerman, Johnny Riley. Before Game 3 started, an anonymous player was heard saying more than once, “What… Brett for Johnny”, “this is not going to help us”! Nevertheless the trade occurred and game 3 began. Brett provided his usual fast and aggressive play for his new team; however, it was Johnny’s offensive skills that proved to be the difference maker. The game was won when Johnny fed Ron with a beautiful pass that was blasted in for the game winner. The final score was 5-4. After suffering defeat in that final game, an anonymous player, from the losing team was heard saying, “trade my team away and what do you expect will happen”. It was an interesting comment because before the game started, there were no such comments heard from the team. A final point worth noting, Ron’s best offensive weapon, Billy suffered a major hamstring pull in both legs. Billy still managed to show his grit and determination by scoring, using his signature shot, a lightening rocket off the cross bar and in the net. Yes that controversial trade was expected to be another blowout, for a 3 game sweep! However, it didn’t happen on this night because like its been said many times, games are not played on paper, there won on the field.

Jon, i will get back at you for hacking into my yahoo account.

What made us so dominate?

What were the factors that lead the Dark team to finish with such dominance? Was it that Brett decided to turn the goalie crease into an impenetrable fortress? How about Ariel's intimidating Defense? Could it have been little Ronnie's grittiness in the corners? Perhaps it had something to do Billy's sweet passes and fast feet. Actually it's very possible that it had alot to do with Jared's refusal to bury every sure fire goal opportunity that came his way. Whatever it was 5-0 was dominance baby!
