12 Angry Men
Ok, not really. It was more like one extremely apologetic man and one frustrated fellow-but it was just as entertaining to watch. It was a week that got a lot of hype and excitement which led to a highly anticipated Sunday. Did it disappoint? Not if you were there.
Quick Game Overview:
Game #1- A 5 to 4 win for the White Team. Remember the adage that the best “team” doesn’t always win? To me, that line usually has no merit but I’m a believer in it now (no doubt in mind either). The white team had two balls dribble pass the goalie and they also scored on that weird Chris/Nick/Petzold goal. They had no business winning the game…but they did. The Dark team should have been 3-0 this week, but they made up for it big time. The apparently “overrated” player had the Game Winner.
Game #2- Was it Dale that said I knew nothing about hockey? Well, the jury is still out on that but I did well at picking the teams this week, huh? Back to back 5-4 games, with each team winning one? You can’t get better than that. In fact game one didn’t end until 8:00 pm. Highly competitive, and interesting games lead to a fun week on the blog. Anyways…this time the Dark team came away the victory. The white team was ready to collapse at any moment. The” GAME WINNER!!!” went to Brendon; how fitting.
Game #3- 5-2 Final Score…I think. I’m not so sure. The stats aren’t up yet, I can’t remember the score and I don’t feel like asking Johnny. I’m sticking with 5-2, sound good? I will tell you this though, this was a laugher quick. As usual, after a game in which Johnny was out on the floor way to long he decided to start game three on the bench. And his teammates disappointed him. Big time (Not as much as he apparently disappointed his teammates though). As a result the white team fell to a 3-0 hole quickly. This game was the dagger to the Johnny and Jared combo. After one particular play in this game, Jared yelled “Are you kidding me!”, he shook his head and got off the ice in disgust. This summed up the night for the White Stallions. Ehhh…not a fan of the name. That sounds like something right out a Richard Simons exercise video. The game winner went to Ron. Would you believe me if I said it was a wrist shot? I wouldn’t either.
My weekly chat with the Scout:
Scout: Ok Nick, this was fun when we started but you’re not interesting enough to talk with on a weekly basis.
Nick: I see what you’re saying. I’m like salt, if you have a little it’s always good, but if you have too much…
Scout: It leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Nick: Exactly.
Scout: So can we skip this week?
Nick: Big Board won’t let me. Let’s just start. Get it over with.
(The scout tried to pull a Johnny and sweet talk his way out of the chat. You know, he tried to make you believe it was your decision to do so but it really wasn’t. Nick, though, smartly interrupted.)
Nick: I wanted to ask you, what did you think of the Johnny and Jared combo?
Scout: hmm…they, at best, lacked chemistry. It was tough to watch. It seemed as if they had never played together before. Jared, on several occasions, looked up in amazement of what Johnny was doing. I lost count the amount of times Johnny said “sorry Jared” or “my bad”.
Nick: Yeah, that was big of Johnny to apologize. He usually yells at Brad or Mike.
Scout: Well, Johnny still yelled at Brad. He didn’t seem to say anything to the incredible hulk though.
Nick: The incredible hulk? He isn’t green or that big. He needs to get off the HGH and move on to steroids if he wants to be the hulk.
Scout: His slap shot is very green though.
Scout: That was a weak transition, wasn’t it?.
Nick: Glad you recognized that yourself. Speaking of Mike what did you think of the other Mike?
Scout: First off Mike gets the D back because of Petzold.
Nick: Oh, yes. Every one forgot about the other Mike.
Scout: He is easy to forget. He runs by you so fast you cant even see him. Now he is more like superhero than Mike is.
Nick: Mike D or P?
Scout: P. It stands for pronto.
Nick: Clever.
Scout: Thanks. What’s your theory on Jimmy’s balancing techniques?
Nick: I have decided that he doesn’t have pinky toes. That’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
Scout: That’s a theory. What about Vertigo?
Nick: Like the U2 song?
Scout: And that IPod commercial.
Nick: Yeah! Do you have a prediction for this coming week?
Scout: Johnny will yell at Brad.
Nick: Hopefully Brad wont cry.
Scout: Yeah, there is enough salt on the field.

The White Horses Clicked but the Black Stallions Won the Show
There was a lot of hullabaloo of JR and TPJ playing on the same team. Would they "Click Together"... would they “Dominate Together"... or would they "Fall Together". This was answered if you made it to the action of SNHL last night.
Who would of guessed that I’d say… queue up the Meatloaf classic... "2 out of 3 Ain’t Bad". For poor Johnny and Jared, and the rest of the white horses, the “Dominate Together” wasn’t happening.
There was some Domination though… in large part, the Black Stallions D, that’s right, D stands for Domination… D for Dave Rocked… and finally D stands for Delivered.
The Black Stallions were the class of the night, best of show and built to WIN!!!
How does that other Meatloaf song go... let me sleep on it... baby baby let me sleep on it... I’ll give you an answer in the morning…
IT’S MONDAY MORNING… LETS HEAR IT!

It's not really a recap anymore...
So what recap style tickles your fancy? Do you prefer PPP’s controversial sentence? Do you enjoy listening to Nick ramble and rant about someone else’s mistake? Does Johnny’s boring box score keep you entertained? Hardly. So why, then, have the recaps become a hockey town staple? I don’t get the obsession. But I’m not going to rant…about this anyways.
Quick Game Recap:
Game 1: 5-4 White Team over Dark team (are those still the team names?). The white team should have rolled over the dark team but the white team fought back from a 4-1 deficit to tie the game at 4. Remarkably, Johnny’s team was able to avoid his usual choke artist routine coming up with the victory.
Game 2: 5-4 Dark team. The talk that will come out of this game will be Johnny’s uncanny ability to anchor a team that chokes. For the second game in a row, the white team held a large advantage and blew it. An undeserved win for the Dark Team, but they will take it. Game Winner in game 2 went to Jimmy Nelson.
Game 3: The highlight of this game was Nick’s brake-away shot, but the story was that the Dark Team finally got the memo to show up. The game ended early with the score ending 4-1 (depending who you ask), but the white team continued to show guts. They played hard when down and their stats went up for it. That’s how we work in Saugus!
My weekly chat with the Scout:
Nick: What do you think, should we do a “body interview” like ESPN the Magazine did?
Scout: No thanks. No one wants to see you in that situation. By the way that cover picture freaked me out man.
Nick: I know, I still can’t decide if that bionic leg or her nose was creepier.
Scout: Definitely the nose.
Nick: Did you know that you can buy a giant cover at espnthemag.com/covers?
Scout: I think I’m all set. That nose can’t get bigger.
Nick: Her nose was almost as “putrid” as my defensive support last night.
Scout: That was an awful segue into hockey town talk.
Nick: I tried though…
Scout: You did, but you failed.
Nick: So in the end it’s like a Jimmy Nelson slap shot?
Scout: A shot attempt that goes nowhere? That sounds about right.
Nick: Speaking of Jimmy, did you enjoy how he played with Brendon?
Scout: Very entertaining. It was like a repeat of the “event” we saw the week before.
Nick: No sticks thrown this week though.
Scout: But the common denominator remains a constant.
Nick: Ok, your thoughts on our inability to understand a hand pass.
Scout: Unreal. Wikipedia does a nice job with the definition. Perhaps Jimmy should look it up. This is a simple rule, don’t bat the ball with your hand in the offensive zone to another teammate…
Jimmy: HOLD ON!!!! The ball spun towards me though...I want a goal!
Scout: So? He still hit the ball with his hand in the offensive zone and you touched it first-that’s a hand pass.
Jimmy: But the ball rotated east to west. It was spinning at a speed of 53 MPH and umm…umm…
Nick: Moving on…
Scout: Yeah lets, he was pretty close to out smarting us.
Nick: Why do teams that are under the management of Johnny Riley seem to collapse when they have big leads?
Scout: Johnny has the personality that can make some teammates play tight and if the other team starts to gain any momentum Johnny starts to yell and his team collapses.
Nick: Mike De Maio seems like a solid example of this.
Scout: No question. I’m not sure that Mike crumbles under the pressure though. It seems that he just becomes more hesitant and predictable. Hesitation is the downfall to anyone in such a quick game.
Mike: Stop Yelling about me!
Scout: Lenny?
Nick: No that was Mike, but he just pulled a "Lenny"
Scout: Is that what we are calling it now?
Nick: Sounds like a plan. Maybe Johnny won’t yell as much if he could finish off a break-away against Steve?
Scout: 3 posts, right? Ouch babe.
Nick: Your thoughts on Lee?
Scout: He played solid. I just wish he had a slap-shot threat from the point, it would make that knuckle-ball much more effective.
Nick: I have to tell you that I tried to get by Chris Young…I had no chance.
Scout: You had no trouble getting by De Maio for that break-away, but yeah Chris is a beast. He is another guy that would become a great player if he can get the offensive weapons down.
Nick: Yeah, he is definitely a scary opposition.
Scout: Not as scary as Sarah Reinertsen’s nose.

No Hockey this week
Due to our one-day assembly, we are not able to play this Sunday. I didn't hear enough interest for trying to play on Saturday afternoon, so we most likely will not be playing this week. We will play again a week from this Sunday (25th).

Hockey this week at 6:30 (inside rink)
6:30 again this week guys. Now the real question about the teams comes up this week: with Jared (at a wedding) and Brett out, who wants to pick up teams with me this week? Or, do we pick 2 different captains for the week? Thoughts?

Not Again
I obviously have to do a better job at being terrible at writing “recaps” (do you see the irony in this?). It’s a Monday after another exciting week in Saugus and I have the daunting task of writing the recap. I thought that I would be able to wiggle my way out of these recaps, but I can’t. I want what Ron has. Ron writes a recap when he feels like it, and it is so short and obvious that people love it. Nothing is clever about it. He usually has a couple observations and puns, and then he gets a standing ovation. It’s maddening. It’s like…well its like something. I have nothing else to add.
To the Recap!!!
Nick: In honor of Brett, I propose that we do this entire interview with our left hands in the air. What do you think?
Scout: Hmm…do I have to have a video camera in the other?
Nick: Definitely. We have to go all the way. It’s a tribute.
Scout: I don’t know. It seems like a terrible thing to be doing for the next 10 minutes.
Nick: It’s easy if you take your mind off of it, or until your arm goes numb. Whatever happens first.
Scout: I guess that’s true.
Scout: But Nick, let me stop you before you go in to another Seinfeld-esque rant. We need to put more content into this recap.
Nick: You mean, actually going over what happened in the game?
Scout: Yes, if that’s not asking too much.
Nick: It’s certainly a valid claim. In game one...sorry, but I can’t take you seriously right now. Can we start over? I’m not sure if you look more like Hitler or Malcolm X with your arm in the air like that.
Scout: That’s a weird combo. Complete opposites right there.
Nick: Do you think Malcolm X looks like a cross between James Earl Jones and that guy that played Ray Charles?
Scout: Jaime Fox?
Nick: That’s him.
Scout: I’m not sure. James Earl Jones was great in the Lion King though.
Nick: Mufasa, right? I here that name I shudder. Mufasa. The name rolls off the tongue. It tingles me.
Scout: Nick, I have to say, that I’m shocked that you’re avoiding going over the games last night. I mean, you did have two goals.
Nick: You know one of those was a game winner.
Brendon: GAME WINNER!
Nick: He’s back?
Scout: Wow! He even gets excited when his teammate gets the GW.
Nick: Let’s move on. What were your thought’s on Lenny’s attempt to “redeem” himself this week?
Scout: Nope. It wasn’t this week. Lenny needs to get back to doing what he was doing last year. It doesn’t seem like his heart is in playing defense.
Nick: It shows in performance.
Scout: To a certain extent you are right. But players can have a rough stretch. Lenny is not a lost cause.
Nick: But he is lost.
Scout: Lenny is going to turn this around.
Nick: Maybe Lenny plays better when the games are less competitive?
Scout: Not cool, Nick. Lenny is going to have a great year. He will be this year’s Ricky Nolasco. He has started off rough, but will be an ace the rest of the way.
Nick: Will Lenny be sent to the minors too?
Scout: Enough about Lenny. Let’s talk about Dave.
Nick: Ok…I’ll move on. Who had a better week from your vantage point, Dave or Steve?
Scout: Very close. I’m not sure that the answer is clear. I honestly believe the defense was the determining factor at changing the game results. On several occasions, most notably Nick and Dale at the end of game one, the dark team had break away opportunities. Joe almost seemed to be a non-factor this week. Lee left at some point during the night. And on the other side we saw Griff and Jared handled by the Dark team’s defense. They didn’t stop them but they played tough against them.
Nick: I felt that the biggest difference between the white team and the Dark team was the play at the point.
Scout: No question. It seemed that the white team either made a weak “shot” at the net or missed the ball completely. On the other side of coin, the dark team did a fantastic job at keeping the ball in. Your boy Lenny had a great keep when he passed it to Reggie (who turned it into a goal). Also, Nick had a very nice slap-shot from the point that went in. It’s demoralizing to an offense when the defense cant keep the ball down low.
Nick: Did Mike continue to look good as an up and coming center this week?
Scout: Nope. He took a step back this week. I barely remember that he played.
Nick: I know Johnny was very impressive to you last week, what did you think about him last night?
Scout: Brad had a larger effect on the game outcomes last night.
Nick: Two back-handed compliments in one sentence? That’s impressive.
Nick: Your thoughts on Justin?
Scout: Solid stick handling abilities. With his speed he could be dangerous if he gets a better wrist shot. (That applies to every one of us.)
Scout: My arm is so sore.
Nick: My butt is sore. Someone gave me a wedgie last night.
Scout: Do his name rhyme with wedgie?
Nick: That’s weird. It does.
Nick: WPR and the Rhyme guy?
Scout: And the legend grows.
Nick: prediction for next week?
Scout: Nope. I don’t do that anymore. Dave didn’t yell screen once. He did it to spite me. No more predictions.
Nick: hakuna matata.
