Hey Benny:

I meant to respond to your post from last week and say thanks for the nice sentiments. I had a blast on the Vegas trip, and was glad that everyone was cool I came along for the trip. I always have a blast w/ the Seattle street hockey crew, and it was great to meet all the guys I hadn't yet met. Just something about the group that attracts outstanding individuals. It's truly a unique group.

Hope to make another trip to Seattle soon for more good times of hangin' out w/ you and the rest of the boys.

Best,
Tyler

Yo, hope your Penguins pull it off tonight. Sweep!

No, I only have mine. I think there were just mine and Adam's stick in your car when we got to St. Andrew's.

Heya, ya I saw your post on Friday about Gary, and then sent you 'email' about it using the SSH.com message system in response to you saying "contact me for more info...". Now when I look in my Sent items it doesn't show up, so I wonder if you didn't get them. Anywho. I'll check Rainer.

haha nope thats eric b. in net, he's pretty good, i suck at goalie but i played yesterday and went like 7-1. the intensity is lacking in our league unlike in Seattle when everybody was running their asses off since we only played once a week. can't wait to be back on the court w/ you fuckers! peace mane!

No worries dude, I figured that some wires got crossed somewhere :)

benny d. whatupp mane. i'm 50 / 50 on the vegas trip. i'll let kevin know by the 21st though. Right now i'm in marquette hunting for partridges every morning than playing ice hockey at noon everyday pretty much. work around here is pretty scarce so i've been helpin my dad at his photography business and selling a bunch of stuff on ebay, and i donate plasma of course ha! what fantasy team is yours? i have 6 fantasy football teams and 4 fantasy hockey teams so i try to update'em all as much as i can ha. whats new in the seattle street hockey league? looks like you guys are getting bigger by the minute? oh and john wants me to move back to seattle and help him make bongs out of bambooo trees or somethin, hes starting some kind of business i guess. not sure if i'm gonna do that though, ha. neways i'm gonna go back into the woods big wings game tonight, how ur pens lookin for this year?

If you get someone injured and the team places them on IR, you can put them in that bucket and add one more. When he's off IR and you want to play him again, you have to drop someone.
Out of town last week when you called so didn't get back.sorry

"take out the trash, mow the yard, clean the garage...!"

ya malkin hasnt reached his prime yet and he's still leading hte league in points. and ya taht was a great game for the penguins the other day it seems like hossa has fit in real well with the wings and fast too.
thats sweet u guys are havin a thanksgiving game, i'll be sittin on my ass watchin football while u guys are playin but would love to be out there ha. we just got like 4 feet of snow so there might be a rink out by then, we'll see. talk to you later , eh any word on where everyones stayin at in vegas?

ya i'm on facebook, i'm from the UP in marquette, not Detroit. you on facebook? oh and my buddy and i are gonna be in vegas not sure where we're stayin yet though, htinking about the Sahara. can't wait to play in this tourney we better score some goals or i'm gonna be pisssed!

who do you think is better crosby or malkin?

last year i woulda said crosby but right now i'd say malkin for sure. than i'd have to go with datsyuk over malkin, and ovechkin best.

Hey Benny, looks like you're coordinating the USA/Canada game, at least from the US side. My folks are in town so I won't make hockey the next couple of weeks, so I wanted to check in to see if any roster had been settled on. I'm interested in playing, but realize I'm a new guy, so wasn't sure if there was room for me. I'm supposed to be flying out to Florida that day, but am willing to change my ticket if there's room for me on the team. I'd hate to pay the money to change it, then find out the US roster is full. Any update you might have would be great. Take care. Steve

Thanks for the info Benny. Me, Tim and Jason and pretty psyched about the game...we even have practices every now and then (how corny is that). Yeah, hopefully it isn't too expensive to change my ticket. My in-laws get a place in the Panhandle every summer. I don't even know where. Fort Walton Beach...something like that. Seriously?!? Who goes to Florida in the summer? I'd be down in the winter, but I can't stand the heat. Plus I hate leaving Seattle in the summertime anyway. Let me know what Greg has to say, or if I see him around town (ie Prost), I'll ask him too. Thanks again.

I'll be in town this weekend - bring the gear and I'll be in goal.

Your friend Chuck got me and Tim shitfaced on Friday night. We tried to find you guys at El Chup...ended up at the G&D in Fremont. My wife had the pleasure of finding Tim passed out face down in our bathroom Saturday morning.

Great pics Ben, thanks. What a beautiful day that was!

Once the swelling in my brain went down, I felt much better. Sorry to hear Geoff got hurt too.

The people I work with are going to think I'm in a fight club!

hope you have good trip..

exhausted and bitter. i'll call you soon.

I ended up bringing both nets early last week to play with the kiddies.
..you can help next week if you're around:
2833 NW 63rd.

hey benny-
weather looks good for today and I'll definitely be playing.

will have at least one of the boys--the other one has a gig at 3p but might show later. if it rains, I'm sure my wife can take all 3 kids back to our house.
my kids usually like riding their bikes behind the school so we might bring those too.

see you in a few.

Sage would love to hang with Lucy tomorrow. Orion has a baseball game at 1, so he may come a bit later on. They both might need to leave a bit early for their cousin's b-day, but should be good until at least 4 or so.

should be a sunny day. let me know if your plans change so I can leave the kid elsewhere.

Hey Benny D,
I just ordered a 4-pack of those Koho blades from the monkey. As they probably won't get here before this week-end, I was wondering if you have an extra I could borrow in the meantime.

My old stick is getting a little slim and it is the BIG game! lol
if not, no biggie.
