Alright guys, things have been slow on the site over the last two months...but now that the baby's been here a couple of weeks things are settling down for me and I should be able to start posting / planning more regularly (maybe I'll even finish up on the awards soon).
So with that being said, who wants to play baseball this Sunday? I've gotten word from Bob C, plus six guys from my hall: myself, Nick, Griff, Matt P, Brad, and Jon B. Yes, as it was announced last night, JB is back with us (and welcome back!). So for anyone else interested in playing baseball this Sunday, let me know.
In other news, we're a little over a month away from playing back in Saugus. It will probably be around the second or third week of September. But I'd like to plan our Haverhill Cup that I had mentioned before. Maybe the first Saturday after Labor Day if that works for everyone.
So far we have quite a few guys, and I'm not sure yet if we're meeting up with Luke's crew or having our own game...probably depends on how many more want to play. So far:
John, Nick, Brad, Griff, Matt P, Jon B, Bobcat, Jack B + 2?, Jordan Boss, Riccardo.

Quick Update
Hey guys, in case any of you don't know, Jamie had the baby (Julianna) on July 12. So since that point, I've been a bit busy obviously.
Tommorow though I should be able to continue with the Vezina voting. Hint: Jimmy C is not in my top 3 nominees.

Update...
So, over the last few weeks there has not been much activity on the site. A few reasons for that:
Not much controversy for post season awards. Outside of rookie of the year and the Selke, pretty much every other award category should be a slam dunk, and that includes the ones we haven't gotten to yet: best goalie, defenseman, MVP. The only debate is who places second and third in some cases. I will complete the award writeups next week, but I don't necessarily see it generating a lot of buzz.
Reason number two: Nick has completely fallen off of the face of the earth. Refuses to update the stats, which I will likely have to do.
Reason number three: I've been too busy to start any new topics. Trust me, I have plenty to say about the NHL draft, the terrible Lost finale, and Brendon being a complete idiot with volleyball this past week, but between the job and preparing for the baby I've been too busy. I hope to start a couple of new posts about those topics soon, but in the meantime feel free to add your "Why Brendon is an idiot posts below".
Reason number four: It's not hockey season. Let's face it, hockey drives this site. If we aren't playing each week and generating new things to talk about, complain about, or argue about, it's not going to be compelling.
The good news? We're only about two more months away from starting a new season. It will be sometime in September, so it's not that far away. Before then in August we can update the player cards with bios, and update everyone's NHL10 type ratings. Plus we'll have quite a bit of "B" team discussion I'm sure. So don't worry Jared - there should be plenty of activity on the site.
In the meantime, there are other events before we play in Saugus again: For starters, baseball. Next Sunday afternoon (July 11), I'd like to plan a baseball (actually baseball, not softball) game for around 4:00 (field to be determined). I want to get a set number of guys with positions. Teams will pitch to themselves (4 pitch max) to take away arguments of balls and strikes. If you are interested, let me know asap so you can get a spot.
Finally, sometime in early September I'd like to have that Haverhill tournament before we start playing in Saugus. We can probably have one in September, and maybe one in November if the weather is still warm enough.
