Really? Griff is your guy?


Five Interesting questions going into the Haverhill Cup:

1. Is Billy Driscoll really going to play?

2. Will he wear rollerblades?

3. How many times will the rollerblade joke be recycled?

4. What joke will be recycled more: Will Billy wear rollerbaldes? or "The better Driscoll" joke?

5. Can you believe Billy Driscoll bailed?

The Haverhill Cup has become symbolized by Billy Driscoll. It may as well be called the Billy Driscoll Cup.

The Haverhill Cup has become the “Lets wrangle up as many random people with no interest in playing as we can and see if it sticks. If not who cares!! Redrafts!!! Wee!!!”

Reggie is injured? Get out of here! 

Zack Leighton is in, no wait…he’s out. 

Bobcat? Whose knee doesn't swell up in the middle of the night?

So after all the back and forth we ended up short not only extras but “regulars” too. Only 3 teams this year. But the cup delays for no one!! It can only happen on April 11th!!!!

The Draft

The draft order: Ron, Nick and Johnny

Teams:
Ron, Iggy, Jared, Tony and Joe

Nick, Griff, Brett, Andrew, Frendon

Nick after looking at this draft you have made the odds now 50/50 to win the cup...for the other two teams!

Two things, am the only one who hears Iggy’s voice (and laugh) on all his posts? I swear I can hear him. Its like reading “The Hunt for Red October” you always hear Sean Connery’s voice.

Second, Taylor Swift was right. The Doubters are going to Doubt.

Nick’s team sucks. Goal tending isn't Important: Yada, yada. The problem was…It made me start to doubt as well...which led to...

The Trade.

In a trade that Im not even sure Ron wanted to do. I think Ron actually loved the story more than the trade.

Brett and Griff were headed to Team Ron and Jared and Tony were on their way to team Nick.

Ok, the stage is set. The Cup 2015 was about to begin.


Next up: The Regular Season

this was ending up too long so I am breaking this up. Griff is going to hate this move because he doesn't trust me to finish.

Regular season tomorrow or later tonight.

Nick said...

Grief's lack of trust is legitimate.

griff's

Brett said...

If taylor swift was right, why didnt you just shake it off?

Ron said...

Your right about the trade. I thought you were coming out with the better of the trade and wasn't interested initially.

My reasoning was that I was firmly in the court that goaltending wasn't the critical factor. First offense and some defense was important. Don't get me wrong, you need good goaltending to win, but having the best goaltender?

Further with my drafted team I figured Jared and I would score on Brett just enough to win. Maybe a 2-1 game or 3-2 game was my thinking.

Johnny's team was interesting, because of all the offense he drafted. But I just thought we shoot and crash the net and we will score some goals and then let the chips fall where they may.

So when you suggested the trade... I was at first thinking no way I could pull the trigger on this.

Then I thought oh why not, lets make this interesting and surprise people that a real "blockbuster trade had been made".

Too bad Jared found out about it before the actual announcement though. The shock value wasn't as great

Good write up Nick...licking my chops to hear the rest!

Brett said...

I was shocked and hurt. When the trade was announced. The ego took a hit

Ron said...

Wish that trade could of happened sooner so we could of got scouting reports and odds of who was going in as # 1, 2, 3.

Our team wouldn't of been #1 with a senior citizen, 2 phat guys and a guy people thought would be exposed on D. Brett was the only sure thing and where did that get him last year?
