Sunday at 5...A vs B

So for this Sunday, the rivalry begins...Goalies are Darrin and Steve.

Team A: John, Brett, Nick, Mike W
Team B: Jon, Griff, Mike D, Mark S

Pool: Chris, Brad, Billy T (doubtful), Brendon, Lenny, Steve P

B Team gets first pick and choice of goalie. I will update the pool of players based on who is coming this week once I hear from each person. Still waiting to hear from Steve P, Lenny, Reggie, Dale, Matt S, etc.

I have to check if I still have my stop watch. Jon, did you or Brett have it last? I don't remember if anyone gave it to me or not.

Finally, it looks like next week will be the first week for the Fantasy stats.

Since you have 4 guys and I have 3 right now, add mark to my team like I said earlier. Now we each start out with 4 guys. Then I'll get first pick and goalie. Then we can pick them up from there.

John said...

Sounds good, I've updated the main page. B-team gets choice of goalie and next pick.

Just remember, even if you take Darrin, he's still A-Team all the way.

Brett said...

i say Borges gets next 2 picks and choice of goalie

Brett said...

make that the next 3 picks and pick of goalie

JB said...

I'm in for that. Next 3 picks. Sounds like gold baby!

Mike D said...

JB you know why Brett is willing to give you 2 or 3 picks plus goalie is because they want a built in excuse for when we win...

Didn't Jimmy beat Darrin in a shootout?

Darrin said...

no offense to the b team but why couldnt i play on the a team?? jimmy will be fine for the b's

John said...

He did win the last tournament...

Nick said...

i want darrin...give them Johnny if we have to

:)

Just kidding...

We get darrin! Woot! and we will get stuck with Brendon...Even trade.

Done. Deal. Mark it down.

Brett said...

based on the players that are left to pick from. he could have the next 6 picks if we got darrin and i say we shut them out all three games.

2 top offensemen and 2 of the 3 top d-men? and the top goalie

Nick said...

But brett, we are the overrated "a team". The team tht everyone is gunning for. If they want to prove that their team is better they have to beat all of us...not just a few of us. We stick together.

all or none! Let's see what the "b team" has. They were voted to be better than us. Bring it on! Prove it! Taking away OUR goalie isnt beating us, its a cop out. A side step. A pathetic reach for the top. It's Borges' call though....I mean he is the guy trying to show us a thing or two. Put all the eggs in the basket or shut your mouth. You either can take us on or not.

John said...

What if the next two picks are Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin.

Brett said...

i say we still shut them out.

And nick they're missing Jared so it won't be a true A vs B team till after he's been back for about a month or so

Nick said...

shhh! dont mention that!

John said...

The roster has been updated on the main page a bit. Jimmy is in net next week, Steve will play this week. Lenny and Steve P are in.

Mike D said...

You won't shut us out once this week

John said...

Big edge for the B-Team this week: Darrin and Brett just found out about a 40 year anniversary party for their parents, and can't make it.

It looks like Steve and Tony will be the goalies.

Nick said...

wow...were they the last to find out?

"i think we should invite our other two kids..."

Nick said...

does that mean we can shelve that timed games idea?

Brett said...

no but ariel thought it'd be a good idea to move it to today instead of Friday.

Brett said...

and i think i'd be a good idea to get use to timed games as soon as possible Nick.

Brett said...

so what are we gonna do about icing?

Mike D said...

Montreal is a lot smaller so if they ice it - it doesn't take as much time.

I don't think the icing last night had to do with the timed games - they would have been iced even if the games weren't timed

If it's iced why doesn't the other team just get it at the top of the zone, give them 3-5 feet, for 5 seconds at which point the D can start to bother them - we should do that anytime someone has it at the top of the zone - give them a few feet for 5 seconds

That's similiar to what Montreal does for when the goalie ties it up.

JB said...

i agree with mike.that sound like a good plan. both of the teams were icing it yesterday. the team that has the pressure on them should not get rewarded for icing it. lets do that.

Mike D said...

If that is what we do the defensive player should count out loud so there is no question about how long they waited

Also the offensive player will know as soon as they cross that red line the defensive player can start to count
