Hellllloooooooooooo

#4 Jared

Let's go down the checklist of what made Jared such a great captain this year. Cool, calm and collected? ✔️ Likable? ✔️ Inspirational? ✔️ clutch scoring? A big fat ❌. "But he scored a ton of goals" an idiot might say. 12 to be exact. Well since Jared is so good at math, let's go ahead and do a bit ourselves. In two games verse all girls, Jared lit up the stat sheet with 2 goal in the first (including the GW) and a hat trick in game 2. Impressed so far? Jared then went bananas in the quarter finals with another hat trick.......in a game his team lost by 5. Real clutch wouldn't you say? So exactly how many meaningful goals are we left with from Jared's stellar weekend? Jared? Little help?

I Wish Borges Was Out There

#5 Griff

If you've ever wondered how high up the rankings a game winning goal could get you, this is your answer. Was there any doubt that's what he was going to do with a free take out? His ability to hit the wide open net was just what Slush Fund needed with 2 minutes left. Griff played hard or at least he made whatever he was doing look hard. But stealing goals and assists from teammates just to inflate his stats is embarrassing. What was almost as embarrassing was his ball movement. He stirred up repressed memories of Jack Bellan firing the ball down the ice with every possible chance he had. The creativity just wasn't there nor was that one incredible shift he usually performs each year.

How's Mookie Doing?

#6 Nick

I hate putting Nick here. He almost certainly deserves better. On the bright side, be glad I don't have Jared's unrealistic standards. He probably would've put Nick in 8th, seeing as Jared wanted Nick to transform into this offensive juggernaut who developed a twisted wrister with pinpoint accuracy from the blueline and even tried to convince Nick that he "HAD" to do all this if we were to make any run at the finals. Nick never even came close to satisfying Jared's fantasy. Now, Nick has shown some consistency in the ability to make sweet passes but, the reason Nick is 6th this year is because of his level of defense. The words "not great" come to mind. In fact this is the first year where you could say Nick has performed below his expected level of defense. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that Nick wasn't trying as hard with Brett in goal and harbored some resentment towards him ever since Brett demanded a trade off his team right before the Haverhill Cup. And this especially shined through when Nick snapped at Brett after a bad giveaway yelling "I KNOW WHAT I DID!" What Nick should be slightly worried about is that Jared will eventually be right. Can you say skippy fin fin? Better start working on your E.J. renditions Nick. It's your only hope.

7 Ward

In no way, shape or form does 7th place make Mike the scapegoat (there’s no way im using that up on a lowly #7). But when your whole Saturday can be summed up with, not, “Remember that insane goal where he deked 2 guys and scored between his legs?”, not, “Remember that pass that he had to air-mail 50 feet that landed on the stick for an easy tap-in?” but “Remember that stick lift……?”. I will say that Sunday was much better, and getting a hat-trick off of a hung-over all girls team is nothing to sneeze at but I needed something more. I’m not saying I was expecting, or even hoping for, down the stretch clutch scoring or for him to elevate to some level we’ve never seen before. I just wanted some consistency. Something that his line mates could count on. And other than hustle, I was left wanting, as were his teammates. Does this count as closure?
