Tradition!

The 2015 Play On roster has become let's find 7 guys who aren't busy Memorial Day weekend.


When determining pre-weekend rankings, everything needs to be taken into account.  It's not just your hockey skills, but intangibles.  Well timed jokes by Ward, knowing when to bring out the phone for picture time, and having the better mini van with fabric seats so you don't get all sweaty and gross on a 2 hour drive are all things that contribute to your ranking.


On we go!


8.  Ignads- Easily a top 5 in the fun category.  However countless hours spent on his phone, and the realization that he won't be doing much filming hurts him in the rankings.  His hockey performance will probably rank dead last, since he won't be playing.  Snitches get stitches Iggy, how's last taste?


7.  Nick-  Rumors are swirling there may actually be boards this year.  If that's the case he skyrockets up these rankings.  Otherwise, he's probably ranked too high.  Tough competition this year, he'll be middle of the pack hockey wise, but needs to diversify and expand his conversation topics to more than electrical amperage and Redsox pitching staff woes.


6.  Ron- The lack of zeal for touch football and ditching on Margaritas afterwards is not the start Ron needed for this week.  Expectations are all over the map for this Haverhill Cup MVP, who needs to be firing on all cylinders to crack the top 3.


5.  Ward-  Looked great during some practice drills yesterday, I think I may have even seen him look up to make a pass.  Let's be real, Mike isn't here because of his hockey skills.  If he does manage to score a goal, let's all be sure to give him plenty of positive reinforcement of how good he is.


4.  Brett-  Really has been hurt since he lost control over WPR who has gone into hiding.  Brett is still a safe top 5 pick as he will make sure to laugh at everyone's jokes and point out the weekend scapegoat and demean that person for years to come.  Anything short of A+ goaltending and we will all talk about bad he was behind his back.


3.  Jared-  Not a great night for Jared socially or on the field.  Hey, everyone has off days and with his new joke app he downloaded I feel he will rebound nicely.  He also got BB out of hiding to post this thread, which helped him immensely in the rankings. 


2.  Borges- This is his year.  The joy of getting away from his family will not be wasted this year as he will cherish every moment.  He also lost like 2 pounds which everyone is getting way too excited about.  I expect him to be the top scorer and be a great anchor at every restaurant. 


1.  Griff- Demoting Griff to defense will really allow him to focus on his jokes and night life.  He also was the only person to score in the finals last year, I mean one of two guys to score in every game, or was it he scored the most in the playoffs, no that wasn't it, well whatever he did I'm sure it was awesome.

First off I am sure I will be one of the top 5 in player stats..or at least I will not be the only one to not have any goals or assists! I will also be top 4 for fun and jokes! After listening to some of your jokes from your new app we are going to need all the help we can get. Ward and I play very well off each other in the jokes category..I think this is our year!

Ron said...

I wanna know which ones of you are down on me duplicating my MVP Haverhill cup performance in Playon this weekend!

I want to challenge you to a shot drinking content Friday night in Ottawa to debate why I'm either going crush it or be crushed.

Ron said...

*** contest

I pay attention to hockey playing and not substituting incorrect words in my posts.

Brett said...

One way or another, almira will be making an appearance this weekend.

Ron said...

Can you guys promise no friend face slapping games this year?

Although that did register pretty high in the amusingly funny and ridiculous meter

JB said...

3 of the top 4 guys in the leather quest. The ride might be the best part of the trip.

Brett said...

What's the plan if something comes up and someone, let's say me, can't make it to Ottawa?

Jared said...

Golf Thursday is all that matters

JB said...

I didn't know big board was in for golf.

Jared said...

Big games tomorrow boys, may the best team win

JB said...

To bed early tonight in preparation of a memorable time with good friends. YOLO.

Unknown said...

I need a redraft now...I cracked top 6

Billy the Kid said...

I can't wait for Nick's unfinished recap!!

Ron said...

Had a blast this weekend guys. Sorry i couldn't participate in much movie trivia, video game history or any of the great Jared impersonations.

I can't say that I aspire to ever be an anchor at the table, but there's no doubt having a seat at those table left me with alot of great memories and good times.

Oh and ya hockey was pretty ok too

Unknown said...

awesome time...any time I want to drive 7.5 hours, have Jared wake me up everyday at 5:30am and stand and watch hockey till the late afternoon and still call it a vacation, I want it to be with you all!!
Oh yah and Mike still hasn't paid for his trip..that kid is good!!

Brett said...

I miss the days when losing has us at each other's throats. We've gone soft.

Griff said...

If only there was something to talk about on the blog...Sigh

Jared said...

I wouldn't hate a quick hockey video from Brett.

Ron said...

After banishing 3 playoff teams and playing one of the hottest teams in the tournament we needed Brett to come up BIG but he became a leaky sieve. "Stinkin Brett, can't have any fun with him anchoring the D"

Deleted comment because of bad grammar... my favorite past time


I think we all agree the best part of Game 4, in the Playoffs, was getting Brett out of the net playing offense!!!!

Can I get a Hello Or at least a How you Doin?

Jared said...

HELLO!

Mike D said...

Are we playing this weekend in Lawrence ?

Ron said...

Hey Mike D, you missed alot of ummm... action in "O Canada". Hey guys look over here... Hello!!!

Unknown said...

"Good day fine sir...would you be so kind to pull my motor vehicle to the front of your establishment"- Black George Takei

Ron said...

hahaha I can hear that perfectly clear from where I'm sittin

John said...

Hey Mike, I am going to check with goalies this week but we'll need to know about the rinks first...Ron, will you be able to check with them later this week? I don't mind Saugus either if it the Lawrence rinks weren't ready, but we would need to have enough guys able to play.

Ron said...

Ya Johnny I'll check...

Iggy, ask this question to BGT... "how was the foot traffic infront of the Elgin today... it being Tuesday... another businessman's day?"

Brett said...

If we do play during summer months, as goalie, I'd rather play inside. Outside is good for April, May, September, October and maybe November.

Unknown said...

Ha ha ha

Mike D said...

Some you might remember that place in Bedford we played few pick up games in the small gym...

They made a real 3/4 DEK rink. $75 per hour
Big enough for 4on4
Bedford sportsplex

John said...

That's not too bad of a price mike... The question is whether it's close enough for Brett and the Amesbury guys

Nick said...

no video?!!???!!??

Ill get the regular season recap up tomorrow. There is a ton of material.

Jared said...

My guess is one game in particular will be the focus
