Recap

Weekly Power Rankings and Big Board are you paying attention? Are you taking note of the "clutchness" that is this Recap? You better be. This was my week off. This was the week where I was going to find the time to go and buy a new stick. I would tape my stick together but you guys know how that works...

*It is going to be very tough to biased this week, huh Lenny? Ouch! This was pathetic. It certainly was a feeble effort by the white team in game one. "To many players can lead to sloppy, unorganized play" said one white team player. It was our first 5-0 game since January 4th. One scout said, "It didn't help that Petzold was playing with a torn up hand and knee, but the offense got nothing going...it again testifies that in order to be successful the game needs to played by 5 players working together." Of course it doesn't help when you have over two lines on each time for the second week in a row. "One of these weeks we are going to have a 4 on 4 game as a result" said one cynical scout. Not helping the White team's anemic offense was the fact that Mike Ward played stellar defense."MVW deserves a spot on the WPR this week, definitely!" said one commenter, though the commenter may be Mike Ward himself. Jared and Brett were integral in the Dark Team's offense.

*Of course, no one is giving Lenny any credit. So, Lenny is all the new free time leading to more practice? "What is that 13 goals in the last four weeks?" said one scout. Lenny was again a dominating force for the dark team. "In my opinion he is the most improved and underrated player in Saugus...everyone thinks Brett and Jared carried the offense last night but Lenny was huge componet of their success" said one goalie. Before dark team's 5-3 victory we heard whispers of the White Team asking for trades. "While Game 2 was closer, it was still a dominating effort by the dark team." said one white team player. Jack played a solid game in net but couldn't over come the short comings of the white team's defense.

*Last Week I felt that John was way too frustrated. I even felt it had "boiled over". Man, was I way off base. What is John's favorite thing to yell yet at teammates? "COME ON GUYS!!" In yet another 5-3 loss in game three, the frustration of loosing his seventh consecutive game, you could see the aggravation in John's eyes. "It was good thing Brett left early [again], or game three may not have been pretty." said one scout. Steve also played another excellent game in net. Mike De Maio likewise played very solid defense along side of Mike Ward. Unnoticed because of his team "terribleness", Matt Davis is showing signs of improvement.

Nick's Ramblings

Any guesses on who uses the term "terribleness"? Who is the scout? The goalie? White team player? Dark team player? Brett, leaving early? I am very disappointed. Hey Chris Young, I need 30 homers from you this year, plus I want you to out-pitch Jake Peavy. Sound good? I want credit on the Weekly Power Rankings and Big Board for this clutch recap. Matt Davis can you snap my stick in half this week so you buy me a new one? Lee, you will be better next week. Jimmy im not as confident. Just kidding Jimmy. Tony the tiger Goalie get that injury healed already! For crying out loud guys, we had over two lines and we would still be out there without running around as hard as we can? This quote seems to apply "COME ON GUYS!"-Johnny Matt S,by the way,(sorry I cant spell your last name-though, I can pronounce it) I thought you played very well against us Sunday. And my weekly shout-out: Reggie get better.

What is this Quote from?

Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.

Any guesses? By the way, 715 words a new record!
