WEEKLY POWER RANKINGS

10-21-18

It's Everyone's Net Dave

10 Jared (-7) - Jared was the first to hurl insults at Brett and question his integrity, heart and compete level when he quit on his team last year. All well deserved. And then he goes and does the same thing. Jared was embarrassing this past week in behavior and in production. Talk about packing it in at the first sign of adversity. Maybe your teammates could hear your constructive criticisms better if you came back over center ice to tell them.

9 Frendon - Demoted himself to offense? Frendon’s goal in game three was a bad look for Johnny and an even worse look for the white team for putting him on D in the first place.

8 Jason (+2) - He hustled. He knows how to play and I figure the captains will soon figure that out and maybe bump him up from bottom tier player to slightly above bottom tier player.

7 Johnny (-3) - He gets the best of Dave most weeks while shooting on him from 20 feet and even gets the best of him 200 feet away this week. His workload increased from one game to the next; from 4 saves in game 1 to 9 saves in game 3.

6 Dave (+1) - Dave played well with some nice saves in game 1 but seemed to have trouble with Borges shot more than anyone else’s. Maybe that’s why Brendon was laying down in the net; Borges had the ball. Now his decision makes sense.

5 Reggie (+4) - Reggie didn’t care that his insulin expansion pack was on empty, he kept playing good defense and only had one failed Hail Mary pass.

4 Nick (+4) - This is a sympathy ranking more than anything else. Played center. They must have pulled positions from a hat.

3 Drew - Probably should’ve been on the rankings last week if this ranking system had any semblance of respectability. He’s sneaky good at jumping up into the play as long as he has a winger that will recognize when he does. In other words anyone but Brendon at wing.

2 Brett (E) - Passed a little too much in game 1. Maybe his 7 goals will make others respect his shot more. That game winner was a snipe. It’s his commitment to defense that makes him most valuable.

1 Borges (+4) - Was a steady force the whole night. While Brett was flaming out in game 3, Borges elevated his play with 2 bullets to Dave’s low glove. Same exact spot each time. And did you see him chase down Jared? Might even be faster than Jared. Everyone say it with me: “Deceptively quick”

Honorable Mention: Iggy- Actually would’ve moved up a spot this week to 12 but there’s only 10 spots this week. So did he actually move up....?

Dave doesn't yell. He raised his voice slightly. Stop being so sensitive!

Dee Rye said...

I would pay good yells to see you flip

I think I’ve seen Iggy flip before...but it might have been the bird...

Reggie said...

Brilliant use of a video! So good. For the record though IT IS DAVES NET!

You wouldn’t be saying that Reggie if you were the one on the ground scrambling to block shots while Dave yells, er...raises his voice ever so slightly at you.
