ATTENTION: Put your Game Face On
There has been tremendous interest shown in both players and game action on Sunday Night in Hockey Town. That’s right; at least one or two people are talking about it!
You guessed it, one or two people was all that was needed for me to make this special announcement.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to announce that the Hockey Town Sunday Night Television Network has been officially launched.
The HTSN Network will be on site this weekend to begin its inaugural coverage. There will be player interviews, game highlights, and possibly a blooper or two to round things out. Bring you’re AAA game… because you could either make the highlight film, or the blooper film!
Details are still being worked out. For instance, since we have no sponsors, we will need volunteers.
This weekend we’re covered, because the medical team had sidelined Master Ron from playing. He refused treatment from the team trainer, Big Goggles Bubba for a nagging groin injury. He’s decided wait at least a week before letting BGB work on him; Beth is reviewing his treatment recommendations!
So Ron will be moving around the action looking to capture some highlight plays and the bone headed plays we’ve come to know and love.
So, if you have any special features you’d like to see, post your suggestions right here. The production crew will decide on the best format to use. The editing crew will also ensure that all coverage meets (with eyes squinted)... the highest standards that this blog is known for. Your cooperation is much appreciated.

I think we should have a section where Jared demonstrates the art of throwing your stick.
I think it'll put alot more pressure on the players to play above and beyond their current playing level.
Poll question:
Who will crack under the pressure of national exposure? Who will Thrive?
will there be a 5 second delay incase of any "f" bombs.
guys come on fifty comments... do we have lives. i can understand brett not having a life. he has time on his hands with his new x-box and how he watces billy work. he's got a little time to kill
if there is a hockey jedi... then there must be a hockey sith... he may look innocent enough on the outside except for one clue... he wears the mark of the traitor over his heart... who am i?
Remember when Brett was all about the Montreal Canadiens? I think he still is. Does he know they lost more games than they won? That means they are out of the playoffs. Too bad for Brett. But hey, at least if Ariel gave him a hip check, he wouldn't fall down!
i love wolverine. he is so wise. he's an animal. and i like that.
the x-men are not allowed to have romantic relationships!!! Oops, I forgot about Cyclops and Jean Grey, oh, and Gambit and Rogue, crap I should have paid better attention!
guys, lets play lacrosse next week, I'll bring my pink shorts!
guys, lets stick to hockey talk, ok?
This self declared hockey sith must be identified and returned to his original place. I only hope it is not too late to save this dark soul before he crosses the path of no return. This one is indeed well trained in the art of deception, for I am at a loss for who it could be. His skill way indeed be greater than mine.
However, I have just been told from one of those guys that needs a life, that help may soon be on the way. As we all know Billy was absent from last Sundays action.
This pod cast transcript was pulled off the international space travel glackita website.
Billy: Hey Yoda, I must be real close to being a hockey jedi, because
1. I don’t rely on the idiotic power of a rivalry jersey to intimidate my opponent.
2. I don’t wear headbands and I let the sweat run directly into my eyeballs.
3. Nobody watches my back, I’m single don’t forget.
4. I’ve faced bigger and stronger players who wear goggles, these guys wear welding masks.
5. I give fist pounds to everyone; friend or foe and even chest pounds for extra special plays.
6. Check this shot out, see it blows my brothers shot away.
7. My C is worn with hockey tape so I can remove it, if you say so.
Yoda: hmm… you may be my servant. Come, carry me on your head, much to do we have.
Yoda: hmm… So much to teach you I have, you must stay for 1 week. We must arrange hockey game on frozen swamp.
Billy: But Yoda. I want to help my brother win and break this terrible losing streak.
Yoda: Your brother must face his fears alone and so must you.
Billy: You got me all wrong Yoda, I’m not scared.
Yoda: You will be… (again in a slow deep voice) You will be.
poll question . . .
who does everyone like to make fun of the most?
obviously brett he's the girlest and not as awesome as billy
1: Steve - Not only is he the only goalie on record with two shutout, but he shut the door consistantly giving the defence peace of mind all night long.
2 Brendon - Netted goals when his team needed him to and ended the final game of the night. Played great at both ends of the ice.
3 Brett - Ended a six game losing streak by setting up more than his fare share of goals while still burying it when given the chance. Good for him.
4 Johnny R. - Showed he was an elite player with his play in the slot, nor was he afraid to venture behind the goal. His stats speak for themselves. Could have hit the net a little more though
5 Ron L. - What else can you say about him. Plays through pain, never complains, never gave up even when things looked bleak. Tells it like it is all the time. Great guy on and off the ice
6 Griff - Showed true sportsmanship by leaving his team to try to even things out. Always a presence on the D.
7 Tony - With little to no defence all night, he did all he could to keep his team in it.
8 Jared - Before he lost all motivation he was flying and was even seen in the defensive zone. A rare treat. Expect him to climb the rankings come this sunday
9 Matt D - Not bad for a rookie
10 Eric - Boy can he score goals! Needs to be there all three games to show he has the team spirit that all teams desire in a player.
The Better power Rankings:
1. ERIC - The best scorer, hands down. He realizes that passing the puck is a lost cause because we all stink. The quickest.
2. BILLY - The only player worthy of lengthy puck posession. Best hands, best skill, best attitude.
3. BRETT - Awesome defensive skills, but with a scoring ability rivaled only by Eric or Billy.
4 MATT - Great presence, good skills.
5. TONY - Good Hustle, gets it done. Good hockey awareness.
6. ARIEL - What she lacks in size she makes up for in determination. Good Attitude, too. Not afraid to check, either.
7. GRIFF - Does Alright.
8. RON - Him, too.
9. STEVE - Goalies don't have to run. Period.
10. JOHNNY - Okay Skills, Needs hustle.
11. JARED - Practice a little more.
12. WENDELL P. - What are doing out there?!
get a clue "better power rankings". It's based on weekly performance not general overall
up your game if you think you should be on the weekly power rankings next week
You "get a clue"!
What's your problem? I'm last on the last on the "better power rankings" but at least I can admit I need to work harder!
Billy could improve his game if he wans't so stinking nice.
Borges is a looking more like the Pillsbury dooh boy then a hockey player
Brendon on defense would get beat on a 2 on 1 with little Ronny and Arial
Brett should play in his pink jersey because his game is soft
Eric doesn't know how to make a cross ice pass
Griff doesn't think a slash, spear, hook or hold is a penalty
Jared's mouth is the best part of his game
Johnys slap shot is 5x worse than Brendons
Ron cannot produce because the game has long passed him by
im going out in service now, becase i have a life! DO YOU?
is there a need for a goalie this sunday?
Tony Accardi will be playing goalie for the 3rd time in a row.
I think he's almost hooked.
wendall you didn't even make my list. You need to work alot harder
WOW! so much hostility and unsportsmanship on the "light" side. do you really believe your jedi master is not misleading you down a dark road leading you to an empty pursuit. are you sure that you want him as your restrictive master. Become a sith where you don't need to be a team player... how does that sound jarrod? Get out from under the shadow of the pillsbury dough boy, Borgis, and discover your true self, reach the ultimate level of hockey skill. your wordy mouth will be an asset. On my side all are equal, where there is no hostility or belittling of others... Come and see the real light. i invite all to come and reach there full strength, and feel it flow through there hands and have it translate to their sticks, and watch your name soar on the stats sheet. So once again i invite all to do theright thing...
Just you remember... your full potential.
TOP 3 Players
TOP 3:
1. Billy. Way better than the rest of us. I agree he is very nice. Has a good attitude and does not take things too seriously. (as opposed to you know who)
2. Pretzel. He has a good sense of the game. If you pass to him, he can handle the breakaway and deliver.
3. Eric. The kid's skills are amazing. I don't agree with the "power rankings" dude, He doesn't need to show up at every game for lame "team spirit". I'm just grateful that he shows up when he does!
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Brendon. Definatly a work in progress, but hey, so was Eric at one time too!
Johnny. Footwork is, at times a little like Fred Flinstone, but I guess everyone has things to work on.
Brett. He definatly knows the game, but yells in all of our faces. Take a chill pill, bro. My 10 bucks are to play, not take orders! Tone that down, and you'll make the top 3 one day.
So since this game in going on prime time, this call goes out to Brett. Do you think you could pull some strings and get Butch Stearns to do the commentary. We wont give him any nose-bleed seats either. Hook us up.
Lol. Brett is always yelling and pointing. Forget masonry, direct traffic!
There has been a breach of gigantic proportions in the Alliance. The forces of good and bad are working to divide a once unified team that had the goal of a championship.
The sith has infiltrated and is recruiting within us. Billy has gone missing and it appears that yoda has been banished to some distant planet.
This appears to be the work of darth sidious. I feel like I'm being watched. I gotta get out of here. If you are secretly approached to join the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, you must not believe you will reach your true potential.
Follow the Hockey Jedi Master. I'm calling all hockey jedi's and wannabees. He will lead us to victory. Remember our stupid logo!!! You are the Alliance!!!
Wow! A lot of posts today. I see that Ranking players is the post du jour. Ok.
1 Billy
2 Johnny
3 Steve
4 Eric
5 Tony
6 Matt
7 Griff
8 Ron
9 Jared
10 Brett
11 Ariel
brett seems to be the target every week.(or brendon)
is it jealousy or just dislike of him overall.
He seems to be getting better every week though.
What real suggestions would you give him to gain approval of his teamates and respect from his opponents
Brett directing traffic? That is too funny! I would picture him yelling as an auctioneer, or a kid selling newspapers. "Extra, Extra, Read all about it! Flyers defeat Canadiens!"
Suggestions for Brett? The "top 3" guy said it the best, tone down the orders. We all got to respect each other, we are all on the same level, even captains in the NHL aren't barking all the time.
When was i yelling and what did i say?
I thought it was all possitive stuff last week atleast
yeah, ok, whatever
NOT true... i am the greatest. DON'T GET ME ANGRY over this trivial but apparent fact, i'm the greatest. I am willing to share all the glory with those willing to play by my side. And as for "team alliance", all alliances and all cronies go bad sooner or later. To all those listening, don't cling to something that is destined to fail. But believe and put trust in yourself, for that is where you will find your tallents and capabilities that will make you soar to the top of the charts. I'm not here to mislead you as some may think, but rather to watch you accel in what all want but few recieve... GLORY... Your OWN personal GLORY.
i really want to know what i yelled and at who last sunday
Don't fall into temptation and believe that you can reach the pinnacle of hockey success. Dark Sith's sinister plan will include making you take the dark sith's UN-Human Growth Hormone Juice.
While it is true that in the beginning you will feel invincible. I've have seen the outcome.
1. Bullet slap shots
2. Soft hands to receive any pass from any direction.
3. Mind boggling moves that make jedi mind tricks virtually useless.
But a very different picture awaits you in the morning.
1. Red and Black eyes that glow in the dark.
2. A hideous side profile.
3. Pal and pasty faced that will be drooping badly.
You will have no choice to have another dose of the Dark Sith's UN-Human Growth Hormone Juice. And the cycle repeats itself again and again and you become fully engrossed to the dark side of the team.
What will tomorrows score be? I will guess 10-5, sorry tony!
Ok, Jedi and Sith, that's enough.
who doesn't want red eyes? besides sooner or later we will all look like that anyway, you can't avoid the inevitable. G.L.O.R.Y. folks, G.L.O.R.Y. do you see this "jedi" withholding you from your own awesomeness found within each one of you. He knows you are bound for greatness and he is not. He just admitted that allying yourself with me will give you the skills that all desire but few ever dream let alone attain, especially as a jedi. On a lighter note, the juice tastes pretty good, another plus.
Hey Hockey George Lucas, how about sponsoring the team, we need new, outta this world, Jerseys, sticks, and other cool gizmo stuff. What do you say?
Hey Gettin Psyched! Why don't you go and play a shoot around game with yourself for a couple hours!! That will get help you sleep better tonight, plus get you even more pumped for tomorrows action.
It's too bad gettin psyched won't automatically translate to wins!
thanks for the extra motivation. Now I'm really looking forward to play.
How does getting psyched not translate into wins? Maybe your pre-game ritual involves being tired and indifferent, but I have a feeling that the stanley cup is inscribed with names of guys who were psyched to play.
the stanley cup was only won by those who sought out G.L.O.R.Y. Do you get the point now. you achive greatness and glory, like winning the cup, by having your very own name put on the prize. seek the glory that is before you all
"Psyched" has a point. You can't win games without a good attitude. It's funny that others are threatened by that.
The fact that we are all arguing over what "getting psyched" means, shows why our games end in whining and endless stat talk!
i made no one's "power rankings"!!
Thanks everyone.
Here's some ranking just for you:
biggest whiners,
1. Anonymous
2. Brett
3. Jared
Enjoy
man, i'm glad i didnt make that list!!!
tonight, i begin the highlight reel material with a hat trick, maybe 2 if i feel like it.
