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!

this is the best I have. Way to distracted by the red sox.
too.
Im in for next week
I want to lol.
But rules are rules
Just to clarify the "drop/throw" of the stick. As JB was working his was to my right, I extended my stick to try and reach the ball, (literally launched it quickly) which I usually do, but couldn't grab the end of the stick and it went flying. Sorry JB you wouldn't have scored anyway, youwere already at the goal line
Absolutely going for a joke of a game this week! Nick, you can take Kazes as your goalie. In all seriousness, we will hopefully have a good group for Friday.
As an aside though, I didn't think that turkey would be the meal of choice this week.
At least the end of my career forced Nick out of recap retirement.
Great recap Nick!!
Good to have nick back at the keyboard. We'll done!
Melo you couldn't see where I was, you were to busy looking for the jock strap I deked you out of!
But seriously I had the whole net to shoot at before your dagger stick of death came at me.
