Just Gonna Stand There

Additional generic comments before we get to the actual Big Board rankings!


On we go.


10.  Austin- The best of the children thus far.  Elliot may have the offensive stats but we all just like Austin better personally.


9.  Billy- Sporting 2 game winners and a nice winning %, Billy is playing much better this fall after a horrid spring.  Good defensemen are at a premium this year with lots of scorers showing up.


8.  Drew- Has quickly become above average in 2 weeks of hockey which should make us question why we haven't improved in our weird hobby this past decade.


7.  Griff-  Made the foolish mistake of not covering Cindy and playing tight against Johnny or Ron.  Maybe Brendon can show you how to play a zone defense.  Adam Sandler isn't funny.


6.  Nick-  Wally Pipp is the guys name.  Worst case Nick can grab an extra referee application from Brendon for Montreal 2015.


5.  Ron- Leading the league group in game winners and participating in after hockey association, Ron is having a solid start to the season.


4.  JB- Him and Jared have split wins this year with some hard fought games.  The lack of ability to motivate Brendon and Cindy is keeping him out of the top 3.


3.  Jared-  Shooting primarily against Brett has really cost Jared all those half court garbage goals that he cherishes so much.  His greatest attribute this year will be his attendance.


2.  Brett-  Was a shoe-in for #1 spot before last week.  When Cindy is scoring at will you gotta look in the mirror.  Also did an average job with the anchor seat at BWW.  Wasn't able to get the whole group together as Ron and Jared were left talking by themselves. 


1.  The King- It's Groundhog day every week, every year in Saugus.  Big Board, WPR, The Real Deal, Brendon's knock off of WPR, and all other bloggers have been craving change at the top of these rankings for years, but we will not see it for a while.

WEEKLY POWER RANKINGS

Almost Broken

5 Jack – No this isn’t for shock value (not totally anyway). In all the timed games it took all 30 minutes to determine a winner and in the closest game of the night, game 2, Jack out battled Brett and kept the white team to only 2 goals with some pretty impressive saves late. How many 3 on 1s do we expect him to stop?

4 Brett – His job isn’t to be better than the other goalie; it’s to be better than the other team. No matter how large the discrepancy is in net, Brett’s job is to hold off the other team for 30 minutes, which he did, never allowing more than 3 goals in a game. The winning percentage is sky high. Just remember for next week, it’s about making even teams not evening out his stats.

3 Drew – Drew is making us rethink about how high that defensive ceiling actually is that has been set by Nick. Follow along: Nick’s been playing 7 years. Drew, 3 weeks. Nick tries hard vs Jared. Drew tries hard verse everyone. Nick and Drew both have wildly inaccurate shots. Drew knows how to take a wrist shot. Nick can barely pronounce the words wrist shot. Still following me? I think you get the point.

2 Andrew – It is odd to think, with a team led by Jared and Johnny, that Andrew was the one that actually made that line go. It’ll be nice having an assist first winger since Brett’s career tragically ended last year.

1 Jared – Jared had a decent night but gets the #1 spot due to the fact that he was the most instrumental in getting that game 4 over with as quick as it did. Game 4’s are the worst.

Honorable Mention: Brendon – His thinking process and decision making are incomprehensible most of the time. But do you really need to yell at him for mistakes you yourself have made? Stop looking for things to yell at him for. Trust me, just wait 3 minutes and he’ll give you something real to criticize him on.

Who can play this Sunday at 6:00? Outside Rink is booked.

Good To Be Back

5 Brett – Maybe the save percentage wasn’t there as Jared suggests, but it’s not Brett’s fault that Dark Team couldn’t hit the net. No soft goals and some great saves are more than you could even imagine from a Saugus goalie. Even Drew thought he played great.

4 Johnny – Location, location, location. Johnny has certainly gotten over the whole “I can’t shoot against my Dad” thing.

3 Billy T – That game winner was impressive in my opinion. Which is all that matters on a Monday after Saugus hockey. His defense was very solid with a bunch of blocked shots thrown in there too.

2 Elliot – With Brett in net, someone had to feed Johnny the ball, and Elliot filled that roll admirably. I expect week 1 to go straight to his head and ruin him for the rest of the season.

1 Austin – We all know why Austin’s #1 this week. I think we can all agree that Ariel had it coming. Ray Rice didn’t fare as well as Austin for hitting a woman in the face.

Honorable Mention: Brendon – That goal vindicated him. After all the abuse Brendon had to take all night long while under the oppressive thumb of Jared, he proved Jared to be completely wrong in all his criticisms. Brendon was flawless as usual.
