I’m calling you out, for an answer that is!
This was a night to remember or a night to forget depending on which bench you sitting on. Some events can easily be explained while others need answers.
For the white team, they were simply scintillating in how they controlled the play in the offensive zone on nearly every trip in. They controlled every loose ball, they intercepted passes and they dismantled the dark teams defense.
For the dark team, it was a night of disbelief, frustration, and uncharacteristically complaining. For the 2nd half, Ron was nearly useless with a bad leg; Jared was hungry but no one fed him; Borges was awesome with the washing machine stick move, but left the offense at home.
So people are wondering, who was that guy with the Brett jersey on?
If it was the Brett we know and love, we should start drug testing because he was playing like he was on performance enhancing drugs, so the long convoluted rant ends with, how could Eric be added to the white team?
Why does Johnny yell, “ice it” every time he’s caught back, out of the play?
What’s with the hacking and slashing of the sticks, like your impersonating a lumberjack?
What’s with the throwing of the sticks, and making it play time instead of hockey time?
And why, oh why, can’t we start at 8:15?
Finally, my last thought, Dark team showed some real talent tonight. Singing telent that is, as they serenaded Brett to the performance that called for encore after encore!!!

hahaha i could not have said it better triple p.
one additional complaint for white team...when they are cycling in our zone for 13 1/2 minutes with 9+ shots on net and dark team with no answer, can j riley not complain about the teams and how he doesn't know "why he bothers hustling"?
PPJ,
Just figured I'd clear this up one more time - that comment was made in jest after an odd-man rush (I believe with Eric) where there was an obvious pass opportunity and instead the ball was turned over and went the other way. That was like the third or fourth odd-man rush like that while you were on defense. Thus I was joking around with you.
I have no complaints about my team whatsoever...I mean, how could I - everybody played very well (as evidenced by the three wins). My only complaint the whole night was not burying the hundreds of chances that I had to score on. Hard to find anything negative to say when you sweep :)
Oh yeah, Ron - I like communicating with my team - make sure that they know they can ice the puck. See, typically when I'm caught in the offensive zone I'd just throw my stick trying to break up the play. Last night though I was afraid that if I threw it then Nick might have picked it up and started playing with it (after breaking yet another of his sticks).
would you tremble, if brett touched your lips?
would you laugh? oh please tell him this.
Now would you die, for Brett Driscol?
Let's hold him in our arms....last night.
BRETT CAN BE YOUR HERO, BABY
HE CAN KISS AWAY OUR PAIN
HE WILL STAND BY YOU FOREVER
BRETT WILL TAKE...OUR BREATH AWAY
(whisper)
brett...will..take.......our breath.........a...waaaaay.
for the white team we have eric at left wing, brett at right wing. at center johnny. on defense griff and nick!
now for the black team we have bradley at left wing, little ronny at right wing. goggles leading the charge at center. on defense lee and mike ward!
wow! when you sit and write it down they really are fair teams, plus I know brett never would have played with unfair teams after his constant ranting last week!
RABLE! RABLE!
33.3%
boy the things i miss when i don't play. brett, schooling the opponent, jb, and jared to his mystical skills, and i'm sure many posts and impersinations throughout the game. i shall be faithful the rest of my days. i'll do the right thing
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without [Brett]
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without [Brett]
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
Chorus
Oh, what are you thinking of? (Brett is cool)
What are you thinking of? (I want Brett’s Jersey)
Oh, what are you thinking of? (I want Brett's head band)
What are you thinking of? (Can I at least play on Brett’s team)
JB and Jared can you both plaese be graceful losers.
The only difference between you two and "Goggles" were that you didn't drop any "F bombs"
Poll question . . .
Who would you take as your front line (before the game was played Sunday)
Brett Riley Griff or . . .
Ron Jared Borges
To think that the second line listed couldn't muster a single goal in a game blows my mind
don't think too hard brett, you'll hurt yourself
Turns out that Brett might not have been on HGH after all. International space travel records show he went to the Dagobah System to seek YODA’s advice. Since everything is recorded in outer space travel, I obtained this interesting transcript.
Brett: Yoda, you surprised everyone with how fast you were in your last movie. Can you help me become a hockey jedi?
Yoda: To old is he, nothing can be done.
Brett: Oh please yoda, I can do it. (Brett turns to Billy and Ariel, please tell him, I will do anything… anything)
Yoda: For you to become hockey jedi, you must face your fears.
Brett: But yoda, I can already go from end to end; I can already cut into the middle and shoot. I even play goalie. Plus I’m the captain!
Yoda: Big sigh… he is too stubborn, too old is he!
Brett: I’m sorry… sob, sob, I’ll change. Watch me shoot the ball; see I need help. I wanna be a hockey jedi... boo hoo hoo hoo.
Yoda: Looking at Billy and Ariel shaking his head slowing. Ok this is what you must do.
1. You must remove Montreal jersey and be yourself.
2. You must wear head band and sweat. Make the head band do its job.
3. You cannot have Ariel cover your mistakes. She can only support you on the bench.
4. You must play against a man with goggles; he will be bigger and stronger than you.
5. You must embrace your foe, and give him fist pounds for his good play.
6. And finally you must play against borges, jared, ron and eric and win
7. Then you will be hockey jedi
Brett: But Yoda, must I do all these things? That’s not fair! Those teams aren’t even! How can I ever to that?
Brett: I just wanna win and break this awful streak.
Yoda: You can win if you do top 5. But remember, NO HOCKEY JEDI ARE YOU.
Yoda: I must go, time is short, I have others to teach.
i wanna be on the top line! boo hoo! please let me! rable rable! i'm sad when i'm not included on the top line! come on guys i wanna be a hero to! boo hoo! WAAAAAAAAAA!WAAAAAAAAAA!WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
As you can plainly see, I am a Hockey Jedi. I do not make up fictional names or blog under the title Anonymous.
I monitor all blogs that make reference to Hockey Jedi. When someone mentions hockey jedi it deserves my attention. I am not a regular blogger on any site, however, you may call out to me and I will gladly give you the straight and narrow. After reviewing this blog and I will address this to the person named BRENDON.
You will never make it on the 1st line for 3 very BIG reasons. From your blog statement I would say you belong on the 4th line.
1. No team captain can be bribed with cookies.
2. No player who boasts about his accomplishments is worthy to be moved from 4th line to starting lineup.
3. When you have 6 assists and 1 goal in one night, it is only then you may request a spot on the 3rd line.
If you have a mouth piece that you wear playing hockey, my advice is to wear it all the time. It just might stop your foot from being shoved into it. (lol :-) now that’s what I call a joke)
It is apparrent that someone has been impersonating me. This post will be addressed to the person named "hockeyjedi".
You will never be a hockey jedi for 3 very BIG reasons. From your blog statement I would say you are a hockey padawan, at best.
1. No hockey Jedi should be berating people on this site, or telling them to "shut up", in effect.
2. Hockey Jedis have a sense of humor. You have shown that you do not have one by your tasteless post, attacking character and not taking jokes for what they are.
3. It is not up to you to grant fictional spots on lines. All lines will be formed by their captains, NOT YOU, or even me.
And finally, if you want to be taken seriously, leave your name, instead of posting under anonymity. For all we know, you could be Bradly or Dale.
Ok maybe you are correct about the cookies. I just analyzed your hockey photos. Two of your Alternate Captain’s look to me like that really enjoy cookies. So now all 3 of you should be cut or be designated as bench warmers. But who is that tall lanky kid wearing the C. He looks shady to me, bad form; stick always should be on the ice. I’d cut him too!
the only thing that was hurt was your pride jared.
I hope you bounce back or you might find yourself on that fourth line along side Brendon
you stink brendon. brendon you deserve to be on the fourth line because your not fit to carry my jock strap. everyone here knows that i am the best player and have had many 6 goal performances and i am the true captain of my team
i ask that who ever leaves post, leave them under names that are obvious as to who you are so that someone may direct their comeback at the correct person
this is brett by the way, but you probably gathered that from the accurate posting name of this comment
Do you take pride in being the most sore loser Jared?
Can't you give me a little glory for winning my first game(s)?
by the way, did i really have six goals?
whoever the fake "true team captain" is has stepped over the line i guess
REVEAL YOURSELF!!!!!
The true team captain, a.k.a brett, didn't post that comment.
Jared . . . is this your attempt to get back at brett . . . can you just be friends again on and off the ice? Just one Hug is all it takes!!!
Man I thought I was freaky. You guys are all a bunch of freaks.
Anyway, keep it fun and watch out for low blows. Nobody likes to have their identity taken and nobody should take shots square in the ittles with or without a jock strap.
Come on fellows, let's sing a song together. Does anybody know a good one?
I was the one wanting to switch the teams before the games even started!!!
I guess once i got a taste of what winnig was like, i was willing to do anything to taste it again, even if that meant making the teams a little bit un-even with eric's presence.
I do think the teams without eric were even. 5-0 was a bit of a fluke i think
Technically we did worse with eric,
first game(no eric) 5-0 win
second game(half w/eric)5-3 win
final game(w/eric) 5-1 win
i guess eric brings us down defensively
from everybody at sunday night street hockey, thank you brett, for being so wonderful at street hockey and for your infinite wisdom. We thank you for gracing us with your presence sunday, but most of all, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being you.
I must agree that this blog has become far too offensive with personal attacks, that I certainly hope, were not meant the way they were written.
I have bashed you pretty good Brendon, and I'm sorry for the times I was harsh. While it was only in fun, I can certainly see how it got way too personal.
I will stop writing under an alias because it is no longer a forum for fun and play.
I've written under the names Triple P, Rock of Gibraltar, Hockey Jedi, Man on the way up, Master Ron and other misc Anonymous names too numerous to call to mind.
Ok super freaks, it Freaky Fly Freddy here again.
Just to be clear, I have many alter-egos. I'm the the first cousin of Triple P. You can call me Triple F, but Triple P wouldn't like it. If I say something you don't like, take it up with Triple P. Triple P has told me to fly in a straight line.
We need to clean this baby up and still have a little fun at the same time. The way I see it we can do it one of three ways.
1. Let people know who you are if you are addressing a specific player. That way you become responsible for what you say, I mean, what you write. There must be Zero tolerance for any degrading comments. We're all brothers here and nothing further should need to be said.
2. We can change the blog, so that ALL COMMENTS are moderated by an administrator before they are posted.
3. We could force people to register using an email address. Then administrators could see any aliases tied to that email address and block any future comments if continued abuse continued.
I personally would go for number 1. But please express your opinions freely.
for me personally i would like to start with everyone refraining from posting under my name.
maybe not assuming i was posting everything, apparently brett and brendon were having debates with me today, only i was working believe it or not.
Finally, i say no more put downs unless they have to do with canada or self made jerseys
To show how shocking you guys are, whoever the perp was.
Hey you there your not fit to carry my jock strap. everybody knows you stink and nobody likes you.
or this
What did you just say to me? you better find someone to carry your jock stap because your not going to need it after i knock your balls out and use them for warm ups. you no good piece of crap
go ahead and delete this comment,but I think it proves a point. That some people have taken the jokes to far.neither comment is appropraite.
Can't we all be winners?
i'll admit i was guilty of some past insults of the highest rank.
but i like to think i've moved on.
everyone just has to keep in mind that no one can read the words you write the way that you may have intended them to come across. BE CAREFUL about what you say.
a zinger here or there isn't aweful, just make sure everyone can tell it's a joke. Not just by putting JK at the end but by avoiding giving the wrong impression.
I'd like to think that not all hope is lost for this site.
It has produced many jems for it's readers to ponder over and laugh at. Something to do till the next sunday.
jareds a skinny little girl
ron is an old man
brett is canadian
billy is ugly
johnny is stupid
griff smells like pooh
LET IT BURN!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Billy is ugly. . .
i agree with that point.
this must be the work of JB.
he was left off the list.
I agree and disagree with some of your points Brendon. To start, I completely agree that if someone wants to critique someone’s game, they absolutely should be willing to identify themselves. However, this should never be a place for disparaging remarks that tear down and serve no purpose.
One the flip side, being able to post incognito can be fun and completely harmless.
Tell me this, weren’t the songs to Brett hilarious? Do people really need to know who they were? (BTW Brett you were so cool wearing that headband. I really wish I could wear one, but I wouldn’t look as good as you, and I know it)
Being the Rock of Gibraltar, I was probably a little too tough and should’ve put the brakes on. But Brendon, that stick length of yours does bug the poo poo’s out of me. But it’s your stick, and your game, do what you want :)
I think that once someone has posted with a specific ID, it’s there’s only, it shouldn’t be used by someone else.
Being able to post as the Hockey Jedi had huge potential. I had all sorts of material that was forth coming. I know with almost 95% assuredly who The_Real_Hockey_Jedi is. But you know what; I like the fact that I’m not 100% sure. Now because I don’t know, I’m going to take on that fraud for my very next post. If I new for sure who it was, what fun would that be? Plus it allows others to have fun with it too.
I think the bottom line is to keep it fun and keep it clean.
Oh and I was the original poster of the man with goggles. It was all in fun, and no I wasn’t impersonating Mark from last Sunday. There was another stand out performer who wore goggles that will, and can, be made fun of another time!!!
Alright, as everyone’s aware, the cat is out of the bag. I admit it. If I so choose to be, I am indeed unstoppable because I am a Hockey Jedi. I have to regrettably admit, I play down to the level of talent I face. I’m sorry that you had to find this out; believe me I know it’s a tough pill to swallow.
However, the credibility of all Hockey Jedi's has been challenged by one who posted under the name the_Real_Hockey_Jedi. To this one I respond with the following retort.
Ok you foolish one. Nobody has the wits or skill to mess with a Hockey Jedi. I will provide you 3 reasons for this fact.
1. I have the original name, Hockey Jedi. I laugh at your feeble attempt to add stupid keyboard characters to your name. You are probably a computer hacker.
2. I am funny, I just laughed at knowing that you will be squirming in your little seat, under your little office light, thinking what can I say to this?
3. The ultimate reason you are a phony is because I know Hockey Jedi Mind Tricks. I can sense you quivering at the thought of facing off against me.
Do yourself a favor and quit messing with a true Hockey Jedi. My power is simply no match for your puny, futile attempt to discredit the likes of someone with my stature and abilities.
I’m big on fundamentals. To me, you running around with a long stick looks awkward. If someone is not good in some aspect of the game, they should at least try to be fundamentally sound.
What do I mean by that? We’ll let’s start with what you do well with. More often than not, you’ve shown that you can handle one timers pretty well. In addition, you get to the net and clean up loose balls and have shown a propensity to bury them.
In my opinion where your individual game needs work, is in stick handling, carrying the ball and passing accuracy. All of which could be benefited by playing with a shorter stick. I believe your individual play would be enhanced if you played and practiced with a stick that reaches your chin.
Now don’t get offended by this next comment, but just cutting your stick down to your chin will not make you an instant super star. Think of yourself as Bob Wiley from the movie, "What about Bob"... think baby steps.
Okay, definitely did not expect to see 46 comments here since last checking yesterday morning!
On another topic, if we had a poll for best blogger it'd be a tough choice between Jared and Ron.
Yes, my young friend Jared is learning many things at the feet of the master. However, when my young protégé returns home from a hard days work, he may be slightly embarrassed to be raised to this high standard that his master has attained.
But have no fear little one. You are progressing very well in many areas. Since we have turned this blog into a safe haven of refuge, I will highlight for all how Jared has already surpassed the master.
1. Jared has a much bigger mouth than the master ever will.
2. Jared has proven to me a masterful golfer, to the amazement of the master.
3. Jared has a very pleasant signing voice as we all have witnessed together. I may indeed have to enroll him in harp lessons (and yes, I know he would look very comfortable in a robe made of fine linen)
Yes, to all you fine readers and posters unlike; let it be known that the student often surpasses his master. I fully expect this will happen sooner rather than later. So to you Jared, my young apprentice, I expect the word "Triple" will soon be bestowed upon your soon to be named title.
another option is to get rid of comments completely.
another option is for everyone to direct their nasty, demeaning, hate inspired comments towards brett. that way we can all have one common person to direct all our negative comments at.
