He took it out...

We all have our own "quirks". Yeah, "Quirks", thats a nice way to put it.

Do you remember Jared tripping himself on a breakaway? Or Nick hitting his stick on the back boards on a clear? Weird and Wild stuff.

Some of have no slapshot. Some of us have no control over their slapshot. Others of us couldnt do a quality wrister (Tony Mazz voice) to save their life.

Some of us cant stick handle...Its like you're doing a rain dance around the ball. .
Anyways, my point? Another poll!

Basically the question has been asked, who is our most entertaining player to watch? We all enjoy skill players, skill shots, skill passes and skilled defense (that may just be me) but entertainment is more than just skill. In a hockey sense, Eric may be the most interesting player to watch but the most entertaining?

What player has the highest entertainment value?  It could be about his quirks or his intensity. The Julian Tavarez for example.

I hope I explained that correctly. Weird and wild poll results.

The other poll is self explanatory. In other words, the kid who didnt live up to his parents' expectations. Who could be so much better than he is? Who fails to live up the hype time after time?

if we do two teams, who are the goalies gonna be?

I think it’s time to start voting on who's gonna make the team for Montreal with so many wanting to go this year. And also with so few options for goalie. I'm guessing I'll end up being in net cause we're so low on options, or maybe Johnny.

Players I think should be given serious thought for the team this year.

JB and Jared should be definites barring some sort of knee injury or Captaincy issues

Ron has been exceptional in Dracut and was our best player the year he did go to Montreal.

Griff was a beast last year in Montreal, I'd say our MVP, and definitely deserves another chance to go again even if he does flip out on Dale 2 weeks before the trip.

Eric was great last year when working with Jimmy and Frendon and while wearing work boots.

Players who have dropped off a cliff.

Johnny. To put it delicately, Dracut hasn't been kind to him. Johnny has been decent in a couple of the playon tournaments but never a stand out and we've all seen the video of what happened 2 years ago.

Same goes for me as far as Dracut is concerned. But I have a video camera and Ariel is willing to video tape the games and give us red bull when we're dying of thirst after a line change so I'm pretty sure that gives me an automatic spot. But I’m thinking I’ll be in net with Darrin not going due to his baby being due in March or April. I havent played net in over a year. That method didn't quite work out with Dave last time. Plus i cant close my glove hand

Nick had his break out year in Montreal year 1. But hasn't progressed past that level. We need people who can score at every position. That's what this tournament is all about and Nick has 5 months or so to develop a shot. His defense is great, top 2 even, but it's less of a factor in 3 on 3 on a small rink. Offense is how you win this tournaments.

MY vote for A Team:

JB
Jared
Griff
Eric
Ron
Johnny
G Brett

And I think we could take it into intermediate this year with that lineup.

Jared said...

My vote is two teams if we can get two goalies. Having another team to watch in between games was awesome.

Brett you could play goalie for our team then play out for another, I highly doubt we'll meet up in the playoffs

Brett said...

id be willing to do that as long as its not 90 degrees. what if we have games going at the same time though?

Brett said...

how are we gonna split up the players then? will it be evenly or will we be trying to steal players from eachother?

jnap said...

Nick said...
