Payback
5 Andrew - With JB and Billy playing D, it was up to the prater boys to shoulder the load offensively. They scored a lot but they were unable to score those timely goals the white team needed to get the win. Still an impressive night from the brothers.
4 Demaio - Mike has quietly been racking up the points over the past few weeks, maybe even the most point total over the past 4 weeks.
3 Borges - Chose to go it alone tonight and even though his commitment to stopping Johnny lasted 14.2 seconds, his commitment to getting points lasted all night.
2 Brett - Point leader on the night, Brett really knows how to pick his spots to play out so as to raise his PPG average.
1 Johnny - Not the 14 points that Jared got, but his 7 goals and his ability to create chances for himself were nice to see.

This man needs another!
I can't wait to see the joke of a group Johnny gets together this coming week. Half the regulars are away. The other half want to watch the Pats. And everyone else will be full of turkey. But hockey "must go on" for the sake of the stats.
Is John Luke available? Paul and Tommy? What about Luke Carito? Steve Praankewich? What is Praankewich anyway? Sounds like a great name for a sandwich.
Come one! Come All! Johnny needs the stats! Got to make up for lost stats! Who do we have in net? Are Kazez and Mike Demaio without equipment available? We can do this.
At least next week Johnny can't complain about too much stick contact in the crease. If your going to go to the dirty areas expect to get hit (or grabbed because apparently thats my thing)
On we go!
Game 1: That is Unacceptable!
It may have been the most frustrating game of the year for Billy T. I will say its way more fun to rag on Billy for a mistake when he is on the opposing team!
This game was your classic first game of the week at Saugus. A 5-4 game that took forever! The dark team was clearly the better team in both games but they only managed a 1-1-1 record. After getting out to a 4-2 lead on goals by Nick and Frendon with a beautiful goal (compliments are flying!). But from there the dark team couldn't end it. Melo was a brick wall as goalie. Seriously. Best game Melo has every played. Ever. B Team worthy. Borderline A Team worthy.The White Team was on the ropes. Jared was already thinking about trade offers. Johnny was already thinking about his start of game 2 rest on the bench with his blue powerade.
After weathering the storm ( mostly because of Mello) the white team was able to capitalize on 3 Dark turnovers ending on a bad turnover by Billy T that led to a 3 on 1 and a Mike D goal. Game Ova.
Game 2 and 3: Jared's Last Game
I know its hard to believe but Jared had a melt down. "If you call this penalty Im done playing! Forever!" It was like the kid from the Sandlot. "Forever". Game 2 was a laugher as a the JB show rolled on. Showing great chemistry with MVW. 5-1 final. But the story was the start of Game 3. Borges had a breakaway (which I assume was a pass from me...another stat I missed out on!) Melo decided to "drop/throw" his stick when he was clearly beat. In typical Saugus fashion a couple guys yelled for a penalty shot. And a bunch of guys ignored the calls and kept playing. From there the dark team had a bit of melt down. Sticks everywhere! Weeee! Highlight of the year. After all was settled Borges did get his attempt at a penalty shot as Jared pouted on the bench, putting on a sweatshirt (puma?) and packing up his hockey equipment for good. Borges beat Melo 5 hole. Night over. How sweet it was.
You will be missed Jared. I, however, look forward to a New Mike Ward. Finally free to be himself.
In honor of WPR:
5. Johnny
4. Melo
3. Joe
2. Ward
1. JB
How humble of me!

WEEKLY POWER RANKINGS
10-16-14
Ambidextrous
5 Demaio - It's been a while since Mike has graced the rankings. His chemistry with Jared was in full effect Sunday. Catching passes up the boards were a losing battle for him, but he more than made up for it with his commitment to defense.
4 Nick -
3 Jared - He did what anyone of us would have done in his situation and that's why he gets penalized for taking the easy road to glory. And Brendan is right, 14 points isn't as much as I thought he'd have. He was greedy enough to take Brett, but he wasn't greedy enough to rewrite the record book.
2 Brett - You'd have to have been there to understand why Brett gets the second spot, because if you just saw the teams on paper you'd roll your eyes at this ranking while trimming your mustache saying "WPR is biased toward Brett. He's such an idiot". Now he did seem to lose interest as the night went along and my goodness did Billy make him look like a fish out of water on that move at the blue line, but Brett's the only reason his team retained their 100% winning percentage on the night.
1 Austin - B-Team should be contacting you within the next 48 hours for the Montreal trip. With an opt out clause if A-Team comes and asks you after. Austin boy-handled Nicks team all night showing that he can be just as big a pain against slow laboring wingers as he is verse Jared. His defense of 3 on 1s was as impressive as Nicks teams attempt to execute them was hilarious. You'll never see better defense on a night like Sunday.(and yes, nicks spot has been intentionally left blank. Complain again. See what happens.)
Honorable Mention: We'll never forget you and may you immediately forget us. Safe travels.

WEEKLY POWER RANKINGS
10-31-14
In Loving Memory
Seeing as last week was possibly Borges' final week in Saugus, and maybe even his final week in this system of things, I think it'd be good to take a look back over his top 5 contributions to hockey and this blog. I think it best to reflect on someone's life before it's too late.
5 Scoring Champ - This 2 time champ showed that he has the ability to abuse the rag tag bunch of goalies parading through Saugus as well as the capable goalies in Dracut, landing him 2 impressive trophies that sat on his mantle......till they were replaced by pictures of his children that he has yet to buy life insurance for. But then, who's going to give insurance to someone who's heart almost explodes from participating in a friendly pickup game of dek hockey?
4 Montreal 2014 - With the good memories come the bad. Friday and Saturday especially. Falling off chairs, Almirah, shooting the ball off Brett and into his own net. Dare I say more?
3 Muckers Champ/ Lawrence Champ - Not everyone has a dark blue Muckers champ t-shirt in their wardrobe right next to a white Breakway champs t-shirt. Being able to say you played with Monte and weren't sexually abused is even rarer indeed.
2 A Gold Medal - I wasn't there personally, but I can only imagine what it was like at the post-game ceremonies, standing there as that glorious medal was gently placed around his neck along with all his teammates, the likes of Bobcat, Derek and Dave Riley all captained by ..........
1 Frendon - Not only has Borges the power to make us laugh, he also has the power to rename someone who's been living for 30 years and had already been given a name at birth. With one quick post, Brendon was no more and Frendon was born. Many even call him Frendon in person and this my friends was his greatest and proudest contribution to hockey and the blog and society.
