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.

John said...

And I will try to post the stats later this evening.

Billy the Kid said...

I should be able to make it. I'm coming back from New York on Sunday afternoon. I'd say better than 59% chance I'll make it. Mike D is with me.

Put us both down as officially a maybe.

Jared said...

Jared said...

John said...

Cool. Season stats are updated now...Iggy, I didn't miss your other goal!

Mike D said...

Not sure what game, it was off face off, un assisted, not reflected on that stats

I made it...I really made it!!! Thanks Big Board....I hope someday I can meet you and shake your hand in person. I am in for Sunday as well. Jared is going by Tile City on our way up to replace the one he broke last week in a fit of rage...(poor Laura always has bruises, now I get it) I for one am very happy that the sweaper (swervin) shows up, he improves my draft position!!

Has anyone else noticed that if you have Mike Ward on your team it's the kiss of death and the odds have gone up by a large number that you will lose? Lowest winning percentage?? How come this has not been discussed?

Brett said...

Because jared always picks mike. Who cares if jared loses all the time.

John said...

Stats will be up on Friday, btw.

Billy the Kid said...

We playing hockey this week??

John said...

No one had seemed to want to play late this Sunday night so I never bothered trying to book the rink. I figured we would play next Friday night instead.

John said...

Sorry guys, I've run into a problem with my work computer and will have to update the stats on Monday.

It's too bad - this is one stat sheet I want to get posted!
