He has not been here since the beginning but he has become the toast of Saugus hockey. He is the man with the magic fingers, the magic touch. And it's always been said, mostly by him, that he created Saugus's best. That without his touch, his counterpart would not be as great. But for the first time, in a long time, they separated. Did you take note of the results?
I'm not going to do a recap this week. I need a break. But let's talk about this upcoming week. Will It be Brett v.s Johnny, with Ron joining one side? Who will end up alone with Jared out? What do we think?

first off, who is in?
brett, check email.
Nick you are seriously slacking in your responsibilities. Man up and get a recap going!
I love it Nick, moral of the story, which i've always said, Johnny is fine without Brett, but Brett is not okay without Johnny.
How can you say that seeing as we barely ever play verse eachother. And when we do, i have the winning record.
you're really basing your theory off this past week where we played 1 game?
Brett what's wrong with being 2nd best? you're better than everyone there except for johnny, and maybe ron. Okay, what's wrong with being 3rd best?
Cause you can't just base who's "the best" on how many points people score in Saugus.
If you want to say that Johnny is the best when playing in Saugus then i might agree. But we've seen how he struggles in tournaments. So to say he's better than everyone just doesn't sit well with me.
Jared, who would you pick first? Johnny or Scott F?
lenny, your slacking on my Halladay counter offer. :)
Brett, you said I couldn't start a controversy. Ha.
yeah but i just squashed it. and you didn't start it, you just brought it up again.
and when have i ever said i was better than Johnny anyway?
I think my words were i make it easier for johnny to score goals.
I believe i even said that he would do fine without me. I just don't get the whole part about how i crumble. It was one awful game.
I don't believe cindy has ever registered a point.
She didn't play last year to the best of my knowledge. and the 2 games she played this year she didn't get a point.
But yes i was referring to Ariel. Better wear all your gear Brendon :)
Nick, I'm obviously in. I know Mike D should be as well. So with what people told me last week we should have:
me, Nick, Brad, Mike D, Brendon, Brett, Lenny, Chris. I am guessing that Matt S will be there after skipping a week, and possibly Lee (yes, I am counting him as a regular again) and Ron. As Brett said Ariel might be coming too, and maybe the infamous Scott Murch.
Players that are out are Steve, Jared and Griff, and maybe Reggie - will he flip-flop again?
So, waiting to hear from: Billy, Mike P, Matt S, Lee, Ron.
To answer your question Brendon: Cindy did not get an assist. She played but was way too afraid to touch the ball all that much. Brett played for the first time that night and got an assist off of one of my goals. That might be what you are thinking of.
BTW, Brett - just to defend myself for a moment: for the most part I've actually done pretty well in tournaments. There was a game in the first Florida tournament that I had nothing, and overall through both Florida tourneys I didn't score like I would like to (which you could apply to most of our team). So if you want to say I've "struggled" in some tournaments we've played in then that's your prerogative. However I played very well in Breakout tournaments, and certainly did not "struggle" in Montreal. To simply say that I "struggle" in tournaments is not true.
the comment that you struggle in tournaments is still accurate. I didn't say EVERY tournaments.
Johnny just wait till you see the game i just put on the DVD and then try to tell me you didn't have a bad tournament. you were even bumped from center cause you couldn't get the job done in the face-off circle. And just because everyone else did bad, doesn't take away from the fact that you did too.
Warren is in too for Sunday
And Johnny, I'm also not saying that tournaments are the measuring stick of who's the best. If that were the case then Jared would be the best cause he's been the most productive overall. And we all know he's not the best.
and yes, i consider not scoring as struggling. Wouldn't you? That's why our team struggled as a whole, we didn't score. Jared led the way year 1 with 6 goals i think, with billy and Eric getting 4 each.
Year 2 did you have 2 or 3? either way we ended up giving up 8-12 goals mosts games. You can't say that it's not partly your fault for our team letting up all those goals.
I'll watch the video and we'll see how it went. If I am wrong then I have no problem admitting it. I will bet though in the tournament in which you are speaking there were was still a lot more good than bad (in fact I'd bet very few goals against were my fault).
But what you said was specifically that I "struggle in tournaments". Even if I were to say that I struggled in Florida, which I don't, that would still only be one tournament. As I said earlier, I've played very well in MOST tournaments I've played in.
As for judging somebody strictly by tournaments - I would agree with you there. The tourneys like Florida it's so hard for our team to score because we are playing against teams that have coaching and have a system in place. That makes a huge difference. Our goals are going to be the result of beating a guy one-on-one and trying to score: usually only our wingers are in position to do that.
The four on four or 3 on 3 tourneys it's harder for coaching to have an impact so we score more.
johnny, why can't you admit that you didn't play good? no one did. We got blown out every game yet you're the only one who thinks you did ok or even good. Both years you were bad. period
Ok enough I am better in tournemants Stuff.
I was good in tournemant play too, but it was Basketball! anyone playing basketball?
What are the teams looking like for next week, who is showing up and who is not???
Where's Joe? Reggie? anyone else
Why hasn't Nick stepped up to the plate and made a good offer to Lenny in Baseball???
me and johnny have to be on the same team, other wise i just become a throw-in
Actually I am trying to get something going a bit closer to Home.
I dont go out to those other places , but I play a lot during the summer!
I want someone, ron maybe?, to take on the challenge of playing center and shutting down johnny sunday. If i come back next week and see johnny lit you guys up for 14 goals i will be very disappointed.
challenge, did someone say challenge?
Jared why can't you do it. when you come back i want you playing center so that it will instill in you some defensive awareness.....or you'll be cut
Brett, I simply was responding to your comment about me "struggling in tournaments". As far as how I played in Florida I am speaking in the context of the entire team. We are obviously severely disadvantaged because of the other teams down there. None of us are going to be able to dominate another team under those conditions. Seeing how outmanned we were, I focused on playing more defensive and worrying about offense secondly. In that context I think I did okay. Not saying I played "great", but I was okay.
Chris, I'm just a hack at basketball, but whenever you are looking for guys then let me know.
Where's Matt S been by the way?
BTW, I looked up the numbers of how Brett and I play (both on the same team or not). Interesting stuff. I'll post them later on this evening.
BTW, for this Sunday, what should the teams be?
And in the process of trying to set the record for most consecutive posts I have to tell Chris the following:
Nick NEVER makes good offers playing any fantasy sports!!
Teams:
Jack(G)
John
Brett
Chris Y
Ariel
Warren
Matt S.
Scott M?
Tony(G)
Ron
Mike D
Nick
Lenny
Brendon
Brad
Dale
Put me on a team. I fetch the ball like its nobodies business.
im not so sure about those teams...
nick it's Scott M not Scott F.
i know
then where's the problem?
Just a quick comment of apology: I'd like to modify some of the players cards, but have been working on my talk this week. I will do my best to hopefully have some set on Friday.
i think brad and lenny shouldnt be on the same team...they both tire out easily...it drags a team down..
I think brad should be traded for matt s
I think a trade is in order too.
We need much more help then the Tick proposed.
Ariel for Brendon works and that whould give us the physical presence we need.
Especially for any poor souls running up the boards!
And you haven't seen scott play Scott M. play. And do you really think ariel will be running circles around anyone?
I'll tell you what, to make ariel turn down the rough stuff, we'll strap Gabriel to her back
tick? was that joke!
i honestly think we have quite a team to overcome, and i'm not talking about Ron's team
hahaha...thinking the same thing.
anyone else notice bobcats totally unnecessary shove in brett's clip? who would have thought he's get 34 penaltys in the tournament?

haha good eye. he only got 34?
how many times did you watch that video?
great catch
how many games did bob get kicked out of?
Chris, I finally squeezed out a No. 1 pick out of Nick, but I think Halladay's worth more than just a measley 1, right?
i'm gonna say halladay get 25 wins in the NL with 10 complete games and a 2.4 ERA
Definitely, throw in a later round 4, 0r 5 Don't settle!!!!
shut up brett!
