Game time is Sunday, 5:30. Playing OUTSIDE this week

The inside rink was not available so we are playing OUTSIDE this week at 5:30. Let me know who is going to be there.

Also, the stats are done and Nick should have them posted tonight, along with the updated player cards. I will be working on the front of the cards tomorrow, and look into making goalie cards as well.

Finally, feel free to post some ideas for teams this week.

Brendon's team proposals are hugely tilted in your favor in the speed and endurance category.

Besides Jared everyone else is, more often than not... tired and slow during a good part of the night.

I would say that Mike P and Matt S be swapped for Lenny and Lee

John said...

My take on teams based on regulars:

Team 1
John
Brett
Griff
Matt S
Chris
Lee
Jack (G)

Team 2
Ron
Jared
Nick
Brendon
Lenny
Brad
Steve (G)

Based on who else comes we switch in Dale, Mike D, Mike P, etc

Fair? Slanted one way or another?

Ron said...

Only that you just cut poor Brendon's heart out :)

John said...

Brendon, I tried to balance out everyone for each side. Since I haven't played with Matt S in a long time I put him on our side, and put you over there. Same reason for putting Lee on our team.

Brett said...

but if we're picking "set teams", then it shouldn't be about people you haven't played with in a while.

I'd trade Brendon for Matt S.

Brett said...

we'll just have to remind jack not to get in a foot race with jared

Brett said...

B.B. was reported lost at sea. The search teams have called off the search.

Nick said...

brad and lenny arent allowed on the same team...period!

Nick said...

stats are up, but it doesnt look as if John applied ron's adjusments! Tisk, tisk!

Brett said...

don't know if anyone cares, but dale has 3 wins in 2 games played. And Matt S. i thought only had 2 wins due to the trades

John said...

Brett, on the box score when someone switches teams it does not autmatically reflect the correct stats. The stats are correct in the database, but the box score doesn't reflect the correct information. Usually I update the box score manually, I just didn't have time.

Ron said...

I was invited to skate with the Manchester group Saturday night. If I make it to Hockey Town on Sunday, I should be considered a 2nd line player.

I would say I’m 50/50 to be there Sunday.

Cyoung said...

i am in

Brett said...

i'd say trade Brad for Lee also. Nick was right, Brad and Lenny can't be on the same team

Lenny D said...

Well, yeah, putting me and Brad (the two best players) on the same team would be unfair. :)

John said...

FYI to all...I've made some progress on the template for the front of the player cards. I won't have it done till next week, but I did get to start working on it again.

And for us goalies out there, I still plan on building goalie cards.

Ron said...

We'll have to have a poll on who has the coolest player cards.

I have a new design I'll be unveiling this weekend on my website

Mike D said...

Brett I don't specifically ask to play up, I generally play whereever I'm asked

Brendon thanks for including me on the montreal team, not like I spent 16 hours round trip in the car with yah..haha

I'm most likely out this week and I am basically week to week

Nick said...

to me, anyways, the biggest problem with griff and jared is they usually have no help...atleast from their vantage point. So they complain. How about this:

John
Brett
Brendon
Nick
Dale
Matt S

Ron
Jared
Griff
Chris
Lee

now if only dale would be there all night.

Brett said...

Mike you have the same problem i had. I would switch between every position and was never able to really become the best at any one possition.

I think you should stick to defense and cultivate you're talents on D. Wrok on handling and controling the ball and being able to make that outlet pass. Just my opinion

Brett said...

Johnny is there any way of getting the rink a little later so that Dale could play for most of the night?

Still don't know if i'll make it. I probably will but no promises

John said...

We can try a little later, but we have the issue with the rain coming in - the earlier we start the better.

I don't think there's anyone after us though, so we can probably play a bit longer.

Brett said...

sounds good. So we'll be able to squeeze in that 5th shallow win before the lights go out.

Brett said...

so we couldn't get inside at all?

Ron said...

You must think Rain and Ron would go good together, but isn't a bad mix.

My game depends on sudden stops and mis-direction. Two things that spell disaster on a slippery floor.

We'll see how things look on Sunday.

John said...

Alright guys, this is what we have so far for tomorrow:

In:
me
Nick
Brad
Griff
Jared
Brendon
Steve (G)

Out:
Chris
Lenny

Probable:
Brett
Brett
My father (G)
Dale

Possible:
Mike D

Don't know:
Matt S
Lee
Reggie
Tony
Darrin

So that leaves us with 6 definites right now plus a goalie. My dad is likely in, but has the possibility of his meeting running long tomorrow.

So for everyone else, do you know if it looks like you'll be in? From what I saw the rain looks like it will hold off. I just want to make sure that we have enough to make it worth it.

Also, if we still end up playing tomorrow, plan on it being $12 or $13 in case we don't have a bunch of people.

One last point: we WILL be playing next week too, but the week after we have our 2-day assembly, and with the Super Bowl on the same day we won't be playing that weekend. So, if we do get to play this weekend that will be good.

Jared said...

I'll be there tomorrow with or without you whiners. I'll keep my own stats and hack into the system and record them.

alright time to drink my first glass of water in a week.

Nick said...

Jared!

Johnny, how many bretts are there???


hahahaha

Jared said...

that's right i'm back and brett i noticed your goose egg you posted friday night. Just when we were about to crown you the better driscoll, billy throws down 6 goals to brett's 0. Better play better tomorrow.

My dad is in too, and i'll make some calls johnny. tomorrow is on. And chris posted he was in.

I'm bringing down johnny and brett!!!!

Nick said...

all by yourself?

Btw, new stick! Im ready to break her in!

well, not break...

Nick said...

mike d is probable. That makes it sound like he is likely...he said he was "most likely out"

For cryin out loud!

Nick said...

reggie is out.

Jared said...

well hopefully with a lot of help, banking on ron and you nick to play awesome.

Nick said...

i have been drafted?

Nick said...

i say:

John
Brett
Mike M
Brendon
Lee



Jared
Ron
Griff
Nick
Matt S

Matt S said...

Sorry guys but i have to tell you I'M IN.

Matt S said...

I mean I'm out

Matt S said...

I"m in as if I am playing but I'm out as far as where I am playing

John said...

Matt, I'm confused...does that mean that you will be playing with us tomorrow?

Nick, Chris texted me and said he's out. I listed Mike D under possible since he did not rule it out but is likely not there.

Brett said...

Jared i was on D all night, and as you know, 6 goals in Acton is a low score and it was in part to my defense. Like i've said before, there are 2 ways to win a game. Score more goals or prevent more goals. I like the second way. I had 2 assist by the way. Both to Billy

Brett said...

279 points

Based on his current pace, and if we average 3 games a week till the end of May, Johnny will reach that point total.

Only 21 shy of 300. Gonna have to start squeezing in some extra games Johnny.

John said...

If only I didn't have to play net last week!

BTW, Ron, was Tony still thinking of playing today?

Nick said...

im confused too. It could mean

1)he is playing hockey, but not with us

2) he is playing out, as in, not playing goalie.

3) He is in.

What a terrible post(s) by Matt

Ron said...

Tony is Out. He has plans tonight, but said his ankle is feeling good.

John said...

I think Matt was trying to make a pun and say that he's playing, but OUTSIDE. At least that's how I'm reading it now...

Ron said...

Ron Status update.

Weather looks ok, but have family emergency to deal with. Grandmother fell and couldn't get up. She had the clapper, I mean medic alert.

She is at hospital, Beth is gone to care for her, so I'm playing Mr. Mom.

If I can get chores done, and not get distracted with my website and football, I think I can still make it.

John said...

No distractions Ron! We expect to see you!

Dale said...

I wont be there. I get out of work at 7:00. At least I wont mess things up this week coming late.
