Due to hockeytown being closed this Sunday (for Easter) we have the rink on Saturday afternoon from 3-5. We are supposed to have great weather for it.
There will be a few people out as they want to play in the puddles: Lenny, Chris. Brendon will be out too, but he'll be at the calling hours for his grandmother. Billy and Mike D are at their 2-day assembly.
So who is in? I would think: myself, Nick, Brad, Jared, Brett, Griff, Mike W, Darrin. Steve F (goalie) and Steve P are in.
Haven't heard from: Reggie, Ron, Lee.
The only other possiblity would be to play Sunday at an outdoor rink like Lawrence or Methuen (sometime around 3:30). The surface isn't as good, and no guarantee we get the rink we want (or that it will be dry). Let me know what everyone thinks. We could always do Saturday just with a smaller group (4 on 4).
Finally, the hockey party to plan for the Canada tourneys...we're planning for sometime Saturday evening, but would people want to do Sunday instead? I know there's a Sox game on...we can watch that afterwards or have it on in the background if we are still planning. If we kept hockey on Saturday and did the party on Sunday then we can plan the party at 4:00 in the afternoon. Let me know what you guys think: Griff, Jared, Brett, Darrin, Nick, Brendon, Ron. When we determine the date and time we can talk more specifics: food, beer, which wives are coming, etc.

both days work for me johnny
it all works for me, whatever everyone wants to do.
Ideally we do the hockey meeting on Sunday. Can Darrin and Ron make that? I know Griff said he preferred Sunday to meet.
The question regarding playing hockey is would you guys be fine if we only had 4 on 4 for Saturday? It might be about $15 to play. I'd prefer Saturday since 1) it's on a better surface, 2) won't be as hot, 3) frees up more time on Sunday for the hockey party.
more things to think about:
If we play on saturday, we have more time for the party sunday. If we play Sunday, why not have the party for saturday as we can have it for langer in the night cause no one has to work the next day.
Also darrin said he's in for Saturday so do we really want to mess up what we have setup already?
There were other plans going on for Saturday which Jamie was trying to get me to agree to...Ryan had some as well. Worst case I can keep the hockey party on Saturday, but if we play Saturday it allows us to play on a better surface. Having the party on Sunday allows Brendon to possibly come, as well as give us more time (let's say 4-11 on Sunday versus 6 - 12 on Saturday).
if darrin and Ron say Sunday is fine then let's do it then. But if they can only make saturday, then i think we should do saturday. The party is more important than the game for obvious reasons
i dont want to play of that surface...it wont be fun.
keep it the same...we will just play an hour and a 1/2 if we are short guys.
Either day is fine with me.
Actually, Sunday would be better.
Also, would be good to play an outside game with the good weather...is the Lawrence rink surface that bad?
it's small...it's an "eh"...
not worth it imo.
plus with the great weather, other people think the same way ("let's go outside!")...it may not be available.
Saturday!
yeah but the lawrence rink is pretty close to what montreal is isn't it?
i guess, but is the rink in lawrence conducive to 5 on 5? I dont think so.
so we can play 3 on 3 seeing as we're not gonna have too many people anyway. I think having set lines of 3 people would be great. Plus if people aren't paying to play then trying some lopsided teams for just a litle bit won't be so bad.
why not try me, jared and Johnny with Steve in net
Vs
Ron, Nick, Mike W with Darrin in net?(provided these people show of course)
Or Me Nick Mike VS Jared Ron Johnny
And then if other people show we can just split them up.
i think it's time for Ron to start showing again. Montreal is only 50 days away
well, I still thinking people show to have fun...unfair teams doesnt sound like fun to me.
I open to anything because I dont have the final say, but I think it makes more sense to play on saturday...
do the teams i suggested sound that lopsided to you?
I think the best thing to do is try to play on Saturday if that will work for Darrin. This way we have enough time on Sunday to do the hockey meeting (especially if any wives are going to be coming).
Steve F and Steve P are both coming too. Maybe we do teams like: Jared, Ron, Mike W, Steve P, Darrin vs me, Brett, Griff, Nick, Steve F. Hopefully Reggie, Brad, and others (like Matt D) are there and we can split them up too.
Let me know though. If you guys would rather play outside on Saturday then that's fine, but I'm thinking it might be better doing that in a couple of weeks since we don't know the condition of the rinks yet, and the smooth surface is more fun.
Either way is fine though. Let's just decide by tomorrow.
So to sum up the last post a little more succinctly:
1. Darrin, can you play on Sat and come over on Sunday?
2. Ron, will you be there for both?
3. Does everyone prefer Saugus or Lawrence? My vote is for Saugus for this week for the reasons I mentioned, but either is fine.
Ya play saturday, hockey party sunday sounds good. Matt said he'll play saturday too if we're done by 5.
where's ron? Time for him to come out of hiding.
ill play whenever
hey, is there any way top have a list of all the top bloggers? That way you can click on the name, like BB, and see only the comments he's made in the history of this site.
Nick, do you know any way to do that?
I THINK on each person profile there is a place where they can select a - allow to track - or something similiar -option and what this does is if someone clicks on their profile it allows them to see their blog posts to any blog they follow
I may be getting blogspot confused with wordpress, but if you look at the option you MIGHT find it
not sure, I'll do some looking around.
john, no box score this week?
No, was too busy with work. I'll have one for next week.
no bigie..
I didnt find anything on your request brett, I contacted bloger...i dont expect the answer you want.
so what are we doing this weekend? what's the plan?
Hockey on Saturday @ 3:00 in Hockeytown (outside rink). If you guys really want to play in Lawrence then let me know.
In: Darrin & Steve (G), John, Jared, Brett, Griff, Nick, Brad, Mike W, Steve P. Others are possible (Matt D, Reggie etc).
Hockey Party: Sunday at 4:00. We'll probably all order out for pizza / subs. I'm working on getting a keg, we can probably use some soda / dessert. Are you guys bringing your wives?
Thought this was cool

sounds good to me, i'll see who from newburyport is in for saturday.
Sunday sounds good johnny, i'll call you to see what to bring besides rbi baseball. And laura's coming.
Question...Do i let Darrin beat me at RBI in order to make him feel good and hopefully that translates into a yes for montreal?
