Riddle Time

I use a physical trait
To show my strength and intimidate
I come off as shy and serene
But I'm very competitive and saguine
From even behind the net I'll take a shot
Can anyone stop me? I think not.
At the blue line I'll lurk
Until I get my lane and then I'll smirk
"I'll be back this Sunday" I always say
They couldn't believe me, could they?
Maybe I'll be back soon, but only if you follow my rules.
But first do you remember who I am?

ok guys. No recap tonight. The bruins distracted me.

But give me credit I got something up!

John said...

Ron?

BTW, GREAT GAME TONIGHT!

Nick said...

John, and you want to trade bergeron!

Cyoung said...

I think Ron too.

Great game. . I am especially going to learn how to hit like they do, especially over the middle.




Is there checking in Saugus?

John said...

Chris, if you "Boychucked" someone I don't think they are getting up!

Brett said...

why on the fastest shot recrds are all the speeds listed? why not just each persons fastest

Brett said...

So who is Jared's replacement? It's only 30 days away. We need to fill the spot now.

Brendon and Mike have experience in the tournament. (maybe they'll have the mark recchi effect)

Then there's Griff who's going anyway and is the next tallented player to Jared. But the risk of penalties may be too high. They don't tolerate any crap up there.

Griff said...

Ill be drinking far too much to find my way to the rink Brett. Sorry! Hockey stuff may be staying home. Drinking is far more important especially we have Jared on our side now.

Brett said...

hmm good point. Maybe we should stay 3 hours away from montreal so drinking will be a little more difficult to accomplish.

Brett said...

Then again if Jared is drunk, maybe he won't feel the pain in his knee and will play. This could be a win win for both of us Griff.

John said...

So, am I to guess that Jared is officially not able to play? That's been my assumption, but is it confirmed?

John said...

And Griff, I'm assuming that when you say that you can't find your way to the rink you are simply referring to the fact that you are going to be relaxing and wouldn't be in the right conditioning to play...

Everyone's a Witness guys, nobody should be talking on this site about over-drinking, nor will anyone be planning on it that will be with us. Not trying to be "beer-police" or anything, but you gotta use some common-sense.

Brett said...

around that time, or exactly on that weekend?

Brett said...

if Brendon does replace Jared i don't think we lose that much of a player. They're both straight forward net crashers who don't play D. Brendon might actually provide more of a fore-check than Jared would.

Jared said...

how long do i have to rehab?

went to doctors today, he was swinging my knee around like a mad man and said it seemed pretty loose in there. MRI isn't probably until next week cuz they have to check everything with insurances. oddly enough they don't really care about our mtl tourney.

He was concerned about an acl tear, which obviously puts me out for longer than i want to think about. but still a chance it's just a bad sprain and i could heal up in a few weeks.

i can put a little weight on it, just can't bend it. 15 day dl for starters, don't throw me on injured reserve quite yet!

Jared said...

from what i'm reading with being unable to extend my leg, i'm hoping it could be just a meniscus tear, the recovery time is only 4-8 weeks after surgery which also gives me a chance. but i guess it's not likely to only tear the meniscus and not acl/mcl.

Brendon or mike have you every just torn the meniscus?

Mike D said...

My original injury was both ACL & meniscus

I currently have a retorn meniscus now in the same knee.
depending on the type of tear you have you don't have to get it fixed

Here is what I remember
Meniscus is like a small pancake between your bones
My original tear was almost in half so I had to either fix it or remove it, I fixed it along with my ACL
my current tear is only a partial tear that is like a flap. Doesn't bother me unless the flap flips over and gets caught in the actual joint, which isn't painful, just locks it up and all I have to do is pull my heel up to my butt which allows it to unflip.

Depending on where the tear is it could heal itself. Part of the meniscus doesn't get blood flow and will not heal itself, but there is a part that does that will heal itself.

Not sure if that is helpful or not

re montreal - I'm starting a new contract job tomorrow, but will only be getting once a month and won't get my first check until beginning of June so I won't have the $$ especially since my assembly is the following weekend, besides I don't have a shirt...
;-)

John said...

You know who would be fantastic playing with Ron if Jared was out? Jeremy. I wonder if there's any chance for him.

Jared, I am assuming you would still be coming to MTL either way? I want Jamie to be able to finalize a room count soon. This is what I have so far:

1 - John & Jamie
2 - Brett/Ariel & Darrin / Olivia
3 - Jared & Laura
4 - Ron, Nick
5 - Matt D, Mike W
6 - Ryan & Melissa

Does that look right? Are all of the non-players that I mentioned definite?

Mike D said...

My rehad started 4 days after surgery, I went 3 times a week for almost 3 months

Brett said...

Mike, shirts can be ordered and shipped within a week. Jared hasn't paid for his yet.....do you mind the name captain on the back?

Brett said...

Tammy is coming(supposedly), but she can just sleep on the floor in our room.

Brett said...

would it be just you brendon, or your wife also?

Plus you wouldn't miss time from work if you didn't want to. We're going up Friday after work with Darrin and Olivia

Mike D said...

I was back playing sports in about 6 months, but fully recovered was about a year.

I still wear my neoprine brace just to safe still.

honestly if you have your mobility back by then & use a brace you'd probably be fine because the brace would keep it steady.

Brett- I was kidding about the shirt.. The only way I could even possibly swing it would be if I didn't have to pay for hotel or tourney fee and then I mite be able to get money for food.

Mike D said...

My ACL was completely blown & my meniscus was only connected on the edges.

I did cadaver- no hammy issues
I also did bone blocks instead of screws so as they disolve the bone fills in behind it

Every heals differently

I didn't get my surgery until 5 months later and I was walking completely fine 3 weeks after the injury

Reggie said...

senguine is not a word Bradley errr Nick!

Brett said...

either way, if anything is torn he's out for the tourney. We already have too many people that could get injured. Darrin (knee) Ron (back/groin) Brett (shin splints) Johnny (snakebitten) Nick (vertigo everytime he goes to shoot).

Mike is our only healthy person.

Mike D said...

Thanks for picking me cause I'm healthy not cause I have any type of hockey skill at all.. LOL

So I take it that if I go I'm the one the only goes out there so the good players can catch their breath.. haha

Nick said...

reggie, dont make me say something that will have Johnny police me too.

PUNK!

Nick said...

me and ron? Who will kill who first?

Team Chemistry!

Brett said...

no mike, you go out inbetween whistles to give Darrin a drink and wipe his forhead with a cold wet towel.

Mike D said...

Only if I get to be like the football water guys and get to hold the bottle for him while he drinks

Nick said...

the red sox almost make me want to watch the Celtics...almost.

Cyoung said...

should have watched both teams.

Brett said...

i want jared to start a twitter account so we can all follow his daily activities.

John said...

Stats will probably be done tomorrow. I have a talk tonight so I have to use my lunch hour working on that.
