WPR + Draft Recap

1-17-14

A Great Night for Everyone There

5 Steve – He wasn’t even afraid of a Ron slapper.

4 Borges – If only Borges could’ve drafted Jared for the Haverhill Cup. They play great together.

3 Jared – Could have been 1st but he likes to complain about clean defensive plays. The Haverhill Cup ref better not let Jared bully him.

2 Griff – Can Griff stay motivated for 3 months?

1 Mike W – For the first time in his forgettable career, Mike was the one that stood out and everyone else was forgettable.

Honorable Mention: Brett – Driving 2 hours just to video tape means a lot. If the video is any good we could see the first ever midweek jump up on WPR.

Draft Recap

With 5 minutes per pick in the first round, the Draft started as soon as we got our beverages. Johnny took nearly 4 minutes to decide on the pick he was 90% sure about for a week and everyone else followed suit, stretching the draft late into the night. And the draft went like this.

Johnny – Nick

Jared – Ron

Brett – Eric

Borges – Griff

Borges – Billy T (Biggest surprise of the night)

Brett – Joe

Jared – Mike W

Johnny – Andrew

Johnny – Darrin

Jared – Bobby

Brett – Tony

Borges – Jack

Borges – Brian

Brett – Mike D

Jared – Reggie

Johnny – Elliot

Draft grades soon to follow.

While I was surprised JB took me there, I think Nick going first overall was the biggest surprise.

John said...

Shouldn't have been too big of a surprise. One of the mock drafts had him going first.

Nick said...

IDK...Im of the belief that when drafting a team you always always take the best player available. Eric was clearly the best player.

im not sure how it could work out for us. Say I play out of my mind and devote myself against Brett. Lets say I completely neutralize him. Who covers Eric? Andrew? Elliot? Johnny will be focused on scoring because he is the only guy on our team who can score. I just dont see it. Its going to be the same thing when we play Jared/Ron.

Itll be last night all over again, Defense plays fanatsic but eventually breaks like all defenses.

1-0 loss
2-1 losss
1-0 win

1st round exit.

Im going to play as hard as I can. Id love to be proven wrong but i just dont see it.

Brett said...

The patriots defense doesn't break

Billy the Kid said...

Apparently its not a problem when Nick plays JB/Griff.

That's how I read it anyway...

John said...

Nick, I agree with you but unfortunately since I had the 8th pick it would have been impossible to get another defenseman.

John said...

I just found out we have a Bethel speaker the Saturday of the 12th...can we move it to the following Saturday?

Unknown said...

Any chance you guys wana start playing on Friday night as opposed to Sunday night? I'm def a fan of Friday nights.

Nick said...

im with you on that.

Personally Id prefer Saturday night.

But It was nice not having to work today

Jared said...

Sam here john!

Brett how's the editing going on video from last night?

John said...

Can you guys do this coming Friday? I can do next Sunday. If so I will call the rink.

Nick said...

so no on saturday?

I can do either.

The week after is obviously the Super Bowl so we wont playing that sunday either. (Pats will be in it of course!)

Unknown said...

I can do this coming Friday.

Brett said...

Fridays r tough for me but I like them better than sundays.
starting to edit right now. May be up later today

Nick said...

make sure you get my "hold" on there!

"so you admit it was a hold?"

Brett said...

No footage of the hold unfortunately. Or anything good for that matter.

Nick said...

i think we can dub it the "non hold"

thats disappointing.

Im sure you have all the yelling though.
