For The Rest Of Us

An expanded top 15 Big Board!  On we go!




15.  Brendon-  This list was expanded for the sole purpose of getting Brendon on it.  I don't know what happened to this guy.  He used to have  a 103 mph slapshot that on occasion could get off the ground, mixed in with some hustle.  All I can remember this year is everyone's feet getting in the way of his stick.


14.  Ignads- Great winning %, scores some goals, and subs all the time.  He gets drafted every week incredibly high and whichever team he's on has very high morale on the bench.


13.  Austin- Sure he still holds the stick the wrong way, and tries to catch passes with the toe of the blade, but he hustles and the rest of us are dangerously out of shape.


12.  Andrew-  Just working my way thru the children on this list. 


11. Billy-  Billy's good...at..stuff...like passing...and......shot...blocking....maybe?


10.  Demaio-  Look at Mike cracking top 10!  Tough to ignore the stats this year, but I still was able to do it and not rank him high.


9.  Elliot-  Speaking of stats check out Elliot!  Top 5 in ppg, just behind Lenny, no seriously look at that.  Lenny...that Lenny.  Elliot is everything we want out of a Saugus player, he cares a ton about stats, celebrates meaningless goals, and doesn't care about defense or winning.


8.  Brett- Brett is one of the few people that read this blog so he has to be on here somewhere.  Showed Rick and Jack what it's like to be a youthful goalie, and most likely won't play again which will leave him with the highest ppg ever!  The only thing holding him back at this point is Ariel and her selfish attempt at providing for her family.


7.  Nick-  Nick is not in the top 20 in ppg.  That's impossible.  I looked over that list a 100 times.  Swervin has a better average than him.  Let's hope his ankle is still bothering him or something.  Redsox hot stove may have been a distraction too. 


6.  Griff- IIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCE.  Griff is great at recognizing rule infractions.  Icings, high sticks, hand passes, offsides, he's on top of it.  Will also devote an entire night to ruining Jared's time which is a bizarre way to spend a Sunday night.


5.  Ron- Someone wants back in on Montreal A team.  Reckless 10 pm Friday night start?  Ron's in!  4 on 4 with some local school children?  Sign him up!  While half of us won't even live till 50, Ron is flourishing.


4.  Johnny-  It's a 2 pony race for the scoring title, and we all know Johnny will win comfortably.  Bergeron couldn't even cover this guy in the slot, no one can or ever will.  His stat posting has rebounded nicely this year. 


3.  Ward-  A higher ppg than Borges, Ward has provided entertaining hockey all year.  His ability to stare at the ball while stick handling and refusing to look up is unparalleled.  Top 3 in ice time this year, as he quietly never subs, another great quality to have in Saugus.


2.  JB- Who else can shake off another heart attack and continue to dominate Saugus?  Loses lots of faceoffs to Johnny now which is alarming.  But then again, who can beat Johnny at anything?  He's excellent at getting first pick in the draft every week, knowing that whatever mini-game Jared comes up with he will never win at.


1.  Jared-  Default #1. held off Johnny for scoring title for half a year, which is no small accomplishment.  Fantastic attendance, even got a group together without Johnny.  Of course he was punished severely the following week for going against the King.
