I can play Friday. I checked and the rink is available from 7-9. It's currently wide open Fri night and Sunday night but that can change quickly and the Pats are on Sunday 8:30pm so I doubt you guys would prefer that day.

Tell us who is in QUICKLY this week for Friday night before our slot gets taken for Friday so we can book it.

PLEASE.

:-)

Billy Thomas said...

Mike D and I are in

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Mike, Billy, Brendon, John, Nick.

Don't think that's enough yet...

Brett said...

I'll have to see more stats from last year before I commit this friday

Tequila Mockingbird said...

You don't have to come Friday. But if you want to see more stats, you know the magic word.

Dee Rye said...

I can play either day

Jared said...

I can't play Friday

Tequila Mockingbird said...

In: Mike, Billy, Brendon, John, Nick, Dave (G)
Definitely In: Brett
Out: Jared

Getting there, but we still need another goalie...

Brett said...

If Jared's out I am definitely in.

What's the magic word?

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Begins with a 'P'

Brett said...

Please?

Why wouldn't I say please.

Can you post the stats from last year please?

Jared said...

Those stats have been compromised, maybe you have lowered your standards Brett for what is an acceptable score sheet, but anything that had been in the hands of Brendon for months has been altered.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Jared is just saying that because he may not have won the scoring title last year...I guess we'll see when I post them.

Yes, Brett, that was it. I guess you didn't read the other thread? I'll post them in the last thread..

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Screenshot posted in previous thread.

Brett said...

Same goes for Johnny though. The fact that someone wouldn't post stats because he didn't like his own state line is a bad sign. That's why we lost a whole year.

A small amount of stats is better than no stats at all.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Com on guys, we need more people in for Friday...Where's JB? Joe? Mike W? Griff?????

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Ron?

Brett said...

If frendon wanted to alter the stats don't you think he would've given himself enough points to beat Johnny last year?

If Johnny can't find his stats, there's nothing to dispute frendon's.

The argument that frendon's don't count because it was only for weeks he played in doesn't hold water, because Johnny didn't post any stats from any week that anyone played in.

So yes, I am proud and honored to join Johnny and Jared as one of the precious few to ever win a scoring title in Saugus.

Jared said...

Brett you can't even begin to understand what it takes to win a Saugus scoring title. Full attendance is just the beginning, I don't want to get into the toll it takes mentally to text Kazes to play goalie for a 10 pm start time on a Friday night for 3 on 3.

A few measly weeks of disputed stats will never be considered for a scoring title.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

And for the record, I have every stat from every game last year, because I didn't miss any games. All stats are exactly as they appear on the score sheets, which I still have.

Brett said...

Is it close to the mental strain it takes to sit in 2 hours of traffic for 3 on 3, trying to pinpoint over the last 30 years where it all went wrong?

Interesting. So all stats from every game last year and nothing to dispute it.

As Jared always says, the stat sheet never lies.

Side note. My points per game were off the charts last year

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Sounds like my morning commute...


...Nick -- can we get rid of this stupid image verification thing for every post??

Brett said...

The evidence is just too overwhelming to not count last year. If frendon has the all the stat sheets from last year, and it wasn't that many, johnny can check them himself if he doesn't trust frendon and do all his own calculations and add them to the site.

I feel like if pictures of all the stats sheets were posted then there'd be no other choice than to count the stats as cannon.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Johnny's method of adding to the database is far more taxing than mine...I simply add the totals -- he adds every single goal - play by play - so he can count things like "who assisted Brett the most" etc. - a stat that I do not bother tracking. (However, this year I have added a new stat that Johnny doesn't track - game-winning assists :)

So I just dont see Johnny putting forth the effort to do all that with the stat sheets if he cant be bothered to keep up with one week of activity...

Tequila Mockingbird said...

@john who did you have in mind for the other goalie this week?

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Trump is in power and weed is now legal...

I'm thinking of moving to Argentina....Anyone want to come with? We might have a better chance of playing hockey there...

Brett said...

Good to see we're all still completely neutral on political matters.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

I think we were all hoping he'd win, only because it would likely bring about the end sooner...

Tequila Mockingbird said...

(of course, I probably would have said the same if Hillary won :)

Billy Thomas said...

Status on hockey this week? Looks like another no go....

Tequila Mockingbird said...

just booked the rink - 7pm on friday. we're good 2 go.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

John update the main thread info. Please.

Billy Thomas said...

We only have 7 guys...

Tequila Mockingbird said...

sounds like a great stat day :)

I may have +1 more coming...

Billy Thomas said...

I'm out unless we have 10 guy's. I'm all set with 3 on 3 or 4 on 4

John said...

Yeah, we have to make sure that we get enough guys. Gotta still hear from Ron, JB, etc. Jared and Ward are available Sunday, but I don't know who else would be able to play on Sunday. Who could do Sunday too? We can go with whatever day we get enough guys to play.

Billy Thomas said...

Pats game on Sunday. We can only play 6-8...which I'm in for

Dee Rye said...

Im not a fan of less than 5 on 5. First thing to go is defense

Nick said...

Yeah I have no interest in 3 on 3. I'm out for Sunday

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Can't do it Sunday. Meeting.

Listen, if we aren't going to end up playing on Friday, we HAVE to tell them tomorrow. We are the only ones they let slide on the up front deposit policy, because we don't generally book rinks and hold them and cancel last minute, thus keeping them from renting out the rink.


Ron, jb, all you guys we haven't heard from - we need answers and we need them now!

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Bobcat is a maybe...

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Ron is in. We're almost at a full group. Will someone please reach out to JB and see if he's alive?

Dee Rye said...

Borges is out for tomorrow.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

We have nine + 2 goalies...just need one more...

John said...

So with Ron we have 8, and it's 9 if we count Brendon's other guy. We need 1 to 2 more to get to ten. Brendon, see if Bob is going to be able to come for sure. It doesn't look like Sunday will work out if Brendon and Nick aren't able to play, so it will have to be tomorrow night if we have enough guys.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Anyone have John Peduto's number?

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Bob is going to get back to me....I assume tomorrow... :-/

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Any chance of waking Griff up?

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Maybe Mike Melo will play (out of net)? (getting desperate here)

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Time to invite Danno back and tell him to bring his crew :)

We are so close to a full group. I don't want to cancel the rink LAST MINUTE and chance pissing them off. Come on people! Help us out!

Brett, any chance you can invite a random person from your neck of the woods?

Melo said...

Someone can text me for Peduto's number. I might be M.I.A for a few weeks/months, even though I want to play (even out) but I'm going thru some serious problems at home so I gotta do what I gotta do. Sorry to bring the mood down a few notches, carry on...

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Sorry man. Let us know when you're back to able to play again.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

John P has been texted...

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Ok, forget this. Let's just play Jai Alai instead...

Dee Rye said...

I'm confused. Does that mean hockey is cancelled tomorrow night?

Tequila Mockingbird said...

No, but if I continue to hear crickets, we might have no choice. I'm getting nothing for feedback here...

John said...

Nothing is cancelled right now. We have nine guys plus two goalies, just need one more guy. We haven't played in two weeks, let's try to make this work.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Everybody come back tomorrow with three fresh ideas!

Or better yet, come back and tell us a name of someone you tried to contact to play.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Peduto is out. Cmon guys we CANT cancel last minute. Somebody must know someone who can play. John, it pains me to say this, but should you call Kazes for goalie and have Dave play out??

John said...

No, that isn't a good idea. If we cannot get enough we will have to cancel. Let's decide by 2:00 today.

Brett said...

Since frendon said earlier in the week that I don't have to play, I assume you have enough without me. So I'm out for tonight.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

If Brett is out we have to cancel. We don't have enough.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Billy says Nick also bailed. Looks like we are cancelling tonight. Great job everyone.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

I called up. Hockey cancelled tonight. We'll try again for next week. Too bad Brett doesn't have any new fuel for the fire. Could have been a good week of conversations. Oh well.

Jared, congrats, you don't miss out on any games this week.

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Is it too early to start talking about who can play this week? Are we shooting for Friday again?

John said...

Yes, let's plan for Friday first

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Ok, I'll get the ball rolling. I can play. Who else is in?

Tequila Mockingbird said...

Let's get the goalies squared away first.

Will Dave play? Can we get Steve for Friday again?

Tequila Mockingbird said...

John/Nick - can you please create a new thread to catch everyone's attention for this week's roundup?
