First it was 5-8 inches. Then it was 10-16 inches.
But the "storm" came with a whimper like the Alliance in playoff game. It was there. It showed up. It was a bit of a nuance. But in the end it was pushed aside. Barely noticed. Never remembered. The storm two weeks ago was called Nemo. This one is called Alliance.
All week the board listed 13 guys that were "in", 3 "maybes" and 2 players that were "never heard from". But for some reason the rink was never booked because "we didn't have enough guys". Since when is 13 guys with the potential for more not enough?
But the decision not to book the rink started to look like a good one once Sunday afternoon came around. Names off the "in" list started to drop off. None of the "maybes" or "missing" were heard from. The weather scared people off. Or so we thought.
Then the texts started rolling. Could Brett show up? Could the miraculous tape method save his chin? The Frendon Tape Method ("FTM") has been known to heal any laceration. It could heal any contusion. Do you have any torn ligaments in your body? Problem solved, here's a roll a tape. Obama care? For get about it. We just saved the country trillions. In some cases the FTM has even saved people from clutches of death. How you ask? Well, after much scientific research we have discovered the FTM is more effective the tighter you wrap it.
Would Jb show? What about Griff? Could Danno get any of the 50 people he brought last week to show up tonight? Would Nick's groin be ok?
The answer was yes to every question (ok, maybe not Griff). The hype machine got us enough guys to play some
We had the guys. The weather cooperated somewhat. But for some reason we didn't have the rink. Hilarious. No game. The word of the night from Johnny was "Typical". Yep that sounds about right. "Typical"? Indeed.
Welcome back Saugus hockey. We missed you.
Have fun back in Utah Dave.

You're welcome.

Good recap Nick!
Very aggravating that we did not get to play yesterday especially after we would have had enough guys. Unfortunately we never had enough definites until yesterday afternoon. Danno had told me earlier on Friday he thought that he would have five guys, but because of the storm he had to confirm. Without those five guys we had less than ten available to play with nick and Brett maybes, mike d out, and no word from jb and griff.
Unfortunately the rink doesn't like it when I book the rink and cancel it too much, so I have to wait until I am pretty sure we will have enough. It was lousy not playing yesterday though, I agree. Hopefully we will have good weather and enough guys this week.
We probbapy saved a few ACLs and frendons hamstring by not playing in the rain.
im a maybe!
He lives in Idaho but is here until Sunday.
no way he told me Utah last week.
Not to question you Johnny about where your brother lives.
Wow, I completely meant Utah! Yes, Dave is in Utah now and has been for probably two or three years.
