The Timely Recap

At times, he is my favorite player to watch. Though, last night, he certainly wasn't his usual tough self. He didn't hustle. He looked uninterested and bored. He seemed aloof, indifferent, and casual. He went about his way like there was not a drop of adrenaline running through his veins. And no one is sure why this happened. Does he need to be playing against Jared for motivation? Was that Johnny Depp style goatee hindering his play? Maybe, he just didn't have "it" last night. But what ever the case may be, I went 4-0, and that's all that matters...

*What's that famous quote?: "Offense sells tickets; Defense wins championships". In the case of the white team in Game 1, they had neither. One scout said of them "As much as they looked confused and unorganized, they never really got the good bounces either." It certainly was not a pretty 5-1 defeat. Entering last night, how many wins do you think Jack had in net? Five, ten, fifteen, more? NOPE! He entered last night with a season total of zero wins. So, what were the odds of Jack going 4-0 last night? "Well, when you get help from both teams you usually have good results." said one white team player.

*When one player was asked what he thought about "the trade" check out his response: "Brett for JB? What is Jared doing?" Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with that. The return of garlic breath was interesting, but he wasn't what he was the last we saw him."He looked slow, he made a few bad passes and his shot was not as accurate." said one scout. The trade, in the end, was a lateral move at best for the white team as they lost game two by the score of 5-1. As MVM, Matt Davis and Lee carried the defense for the dark team, it led to Nick playing up more often. "He cherry-picked most of the time and he still came up empty handed-kind of pathetic" said one player. Well, maybe if my "partners" ran with me I would have been more successful. Maybe.

*Do you smell that? Yeah, I still smell the garlic too. Though, it doesn't stink as much as the white team did in game three. Now, you are probably saying: "It cant be worse then two 5-1 losses in games one and two for the white team, could it?" WRONG! This game was over in what seemed like ten minutes. "It was pitiful. An absolute embarrassment" said one white team player. It was so bad that players of the white team decided to bail on their team. Guys, sometimes the teams workout, sometimes they don't. But, you should never just give up. Always play hard and hope for the best, but never bail.

*Coincidentally, game four was the most competitive game of the night. "It was a hard fought battle and both teams deserved to win, but the white just couldn't prevail again" said one scout. After some players had to leave there was another trade. New guy Steve was traded for Brendon. This led to letting Chris and Matt be a backbone to a solid defense. After the white battled back to tie the game at four, there was a quick goal by Brett to end the comeback. Game 4 was intense but in the end Jack found away to go 4-0.

Nick's Ramblings

So Lenny, How many break aways did Johnny give you in game 4? Now compare that to the number of goals you had. Brett you are not intimidating when you yell, work on that. Power Rankings and Big Board, I dont see any obvious picks this week, your choices will be interesting. Are you more nervous when Nick takes slap shot or Joe? Johnny, sadly, ended his 7 game losing streak. Mike De Maio we missed your "center playing ability". Brett, I will work on making faster decisions. "MVW"-Do you guys know what the "V" stands for? Has Lee ever played up that much? When will you be better Reggie? I felt like this was a solid recap. Though I didnt have a lot to ramble about this week.
