Let's get out of that thread. I've had enough of this nonsense. It's like reading a Lewis Carrol poem...it leaves my head spinning.
Remember guys this is hockey blog, nothing more, nothing less.
Stats will be up soon...hopefully a recap as well.
Notice that hockey this Sunday will be at 6:30

Griff is soooooo fat......errr nevermind
So how did your team ever let Brendon be captain? Was he good back then?
look at how Brendon is standing and then look at griff's face...polar opposites.
everyone looks to be about 20 to 30 pounds lighter too...
Is that Dave to next to Brendon?
stats are up...
i guess we didn't win 5-4 the last game, yay for johnny and nick getting whatever they want.
11 - 22 - 09
10 Brendon (-2) - Hanging on by a thread. Brett was willing to take him in the draft but Jared was unwilling to trade him. I’m sure he wishes he did. Brendon had chances to bury the rock, but he either shot it wide or right into Johnny. From 4th to 10th in 3 weeks…..not good.
9 Nick - Without Joe showing, nick proved to be the best pick Brett made (well actually Johnny made it for him). Nick was more determined than ever not to be beaten by Reggie and his timing to rush up the ice was impeccable.
8 Mike M (-1) - He sure knows how to protect the ball when he has it. The problem is when he tries to make a play with it, then it falls apart. I’m sure some of the problem is his teammates not getting open.
7 Danny - His hustle and speed was especially effective this week verse the white teams slow defense. Danny provided the only game winner on the night. But he didn’t stop there as he chipped in with another goal later in the night.
6 Reggie (E) - While I was impressed by his deceptive speed, and his reach is “Chara-like.” He still got beat by Brett and Danny while playing defense. It’s called Payback Reggie.
5 Jack - An unprecedented high debut on the rankings. He didn’t win the game, but the games could have been over in half the time if he wasn’t playing goalie.
4 Brett (+6)* - We all know he had his night cut short. But he wreaked havoc on the white team. Easily gaining entry into the zone every time. And he worked well with Griff and Matt P.
3 Griff (+1) - I’ve never seen a mountain migrate so fast. Griff continued his hustle from last week and ended up scoring 2 goals not 1 in game 1. Still gotta work on the shot accuracy.
2 Johnny R (+1) - He’s big and doesn’t give you much to shoot at. Johnny was able to control the play even in net by making key stops and slowing down the game when things were about to get out of hand.
1 Jared (E) - Still in the top spot but only by default cause no one else did enough to knock him down. His ability to captain a team doesn’t exist. And I could see his constant demeaning was wearing on his own team.
Missing a week knocks you off the list automatically. You have to start from scratch.
Off the Radar:
Mike D - Jared could have used you big time.
Ron - I understand why he missed a week, but still inexcusable.
Joe - What’s the point of saying you’ll be late? Just say you won’t be there.
i'm seriously thinking of turning into an over the hill surfer dude.
surfing is a blast even if you stink.
on the north shore of Oahu there was a world surfing competition. 20-25' waves... crazy stuff.
i'm really surprised by the number of hobos here in Kaikiki
I heard there was snow in the forecast? did you get any? weather in Hawaii has been 85-87 every day.
one week down, one more to go. our conv starts thursday.
i'm gonna say Ron misses the convention and just stays on the beach
john i've come 3 times so far this year (a personal best) and i dont even get my goal and assist from last week listed? dont you know that my life hangs in the balance of these stats? or maybe there was just too many matt's to keep the stats straight
That is Dave next to Brendon...
Jared, you guys only scored 4 goals...should I just give you a goal that never happened? Your last minute goal tied the game at 4.
Matt, look at the box score, you are in there this week for a goal and assist. If you are talking about the weekly stats, I only take the top 25 point-wise to display on the site. You are in the database though, so the more that you play (and presumably score) you will eventually end up appearing there.
Forgot to add, in the early tourneys Brendon took care of all of the logistical stuff (which he did a good job with), which had to be done by the captain of the team. Thus, for the Breakout tourneys he was our captain.
A captain doesn't have to be the best goal scorer on the team. He has to be the team LEADER. That has a lot to do with motivating guys to play well.
Yes, you can lead by example, too. But look at Ray Bourque, for example. Was he the top goal-scorer on the team? No. There are a lot of captains that aren't top goal-scorers.
The important thing is that the team captain needs to LEAD. That is something our captains haven't done very well in the past, despite scoring a lot of goals. Maybe it's time to think about what it actually means to be a captain.
so are you saying that Brendon is a good captain cause he can LEAD in some way?
Ray Bourque was the best defenseman. So he was atleast the best at something on the team.
And who ever brought anything up about having to be the top scorer to be captain?
But tell me, how can a captain lead his team? What are some other ways than scoring?
This is a wicked entertaining thread. Who wouldn't want to read about what constitutes a captain. GAY!!!
Please post some more stories Dale. I don't think you can top the previous stories but you could always try.
i just want anonymous to post why he thinks Brendon is a good captain.
ray bourque was one of the greatest defensemen of all time. Captains are extremely overrated anyways! I don't need jared or ron or johnny to tell me to try hard or to motivate me.
I never said that.I just said that a good captain isn't always the best player or the best anything on a team.
It's not always about performance. Being a captain is about attitude and how you inspire other teammates.
If you are the least on the stats but you can rally your team when you need to, isn't that more like a captain than a person who scores a lot but no one relaly looks up to?
Example, if your captain yells at you and brings your game down, how is that better than a captain who encourages you, corrects your mistakes after the game instead of during the game, and never demeans you?
I'm not calling anyone in particular out, but I'm just trying to emphasise the point that being captain means so much more than scoring points.
And I agree, this topic is getting old fast, so I'm just going to leave it at that.
it's your fault if you let it get you down.
But anonymous is right. You shouldn't need anyone telling you things to motivate you. Therefore the captain should be a top scorer for a team being put together for tournaments.

so anonymous i still want to know why you think brendon would be a good captain seeing as you came to his defense
actually let me put it this way. Do you think Brendon would be a good aptain?
I dont think anyone would be a good APTAIN...what I do think is that I scored a goal, was a power defense men on the white team and did not get on the list. Your list is skewed by the fact that Mike M. makes the list and does not have the stats you speak of.....this group sucks, deal with it...what you got, what? What? Bring it!!! Next game your all going into the boards!!!
Lets be honest....Brett is a cry baby, if you have a hurt hand dont play unless you want someone to hurt you....Jack deal with it, you couldnt see the ball half the time. What you cry babies, deal with it. Dale should be #1 on this list! Have I been drinking, oh maybe I should not type what I am thinking.
Losers
jon had a little taste of stats and it went right to his head
does anyone else's head hurt?
i think you meant to say this group stinks.
I think it's so funny when people make fun of spelling errors. It never gets old.
I guess lgnads doesn't get the whole power ranking system.
Can we make a change on how we handle when an offisdes has been called?
A lot of the times when team has been called offsides and the ball has been given to the other team a person on the team that has been called offsides will NOT CLEAR THE ZONE before making a play against the ball.
If this is done can we start giving the non guilty team the ball at the top of their offensive zone?
Doing this will make people more conscience of what their doing.
Basic hockey rule of offsides is - if your team is offside you MUST all clear the zone before making contact with the ball
Also if your offsides and you whip it all the way in the zone before you leave the zone we should also give the puck at the top of the zone.
Anyone else agree?
Brendon we won't acknowledge your rule change proposals until to come out of the anonymous closet.
the only rule i would go for is no more passing it along the boards to yourself against Jon I. Imagine if we put brendon against jon? he's been trying that move with no success for years now and we might have finally found someone it works against! Deal with it jon!
happy thanksgiving everyone
Sad Unthankful-taking Nobody!
NEW OFFSIDES RULE CHANGE:
Every player should clear themselves back into their own zone after an offsides call. This is beneficial for both teams.
For the team that the call was against, they now have more time to talk strategy. For the team that gets posession back, they can now bring the puck out of their respective zone.
In the case of 4 players entering the offensive zone before the puck, I propose "Super Offsides".
In the case of Super Offsides, the 4 offending players must clear themselves by sitting back on the bench for 1 second, then reemerging onto the field of play.
In the rare case of five players entering the offensive zone before the puck, (for example, 4 players entering the zone with the 5th player possessing the puck and entering the zone backwards) a call of "Ultimate Offsides" sould be made. (Preferably by someone with a deep voice.)
In the case of Ultimate Offsides, the 5 offending players must clear themselves by running out to the parking lot and touching their vehicle's license plate.
In the ridiculously rare case of all six players entering the zone, either a call of "Automatic Win!" or "Oh, Crap!" is appropriate.
When this occurs, the offending team forfeits the game. The six offending players must then either allow one free punch (7 for flinching) per player, or treat the opposing team to a gentleman's lunch of orange soda and fried clams.
(Menu subject to change due to clams demand and market value as well as allergy concerns. Alternate menu items and restaurant items should be discussed prior to opening face-off.)
nick this thread is even more unfunny and boring, start a new one!
