Who's in this Sat? Forecast is light showers. We have any goalies?

Hey guys, I'm really looking forward to coming out and meeting everyone. There were just a few things I was wondering about before my first game, if somebody doesn't mind me asking.

Is passing a big part of the play style? The last place I played, the surface was kind of bad and the ball bounced a lot. Because of this, guys had their heads down a lot, and between that and the way the surface made the ball go in unpredictable ways, we didn't do a lot of passing. Lots of shoot…

Awesome game last week.   We even had Joe come out of retirement.  I've heard a few people want to move the game to 1pm this Saturday.  Does that work for everybody?   Who is in?  Who is in net?

The temps have dropped, fall is in the air, feels like hockey.  Turnouts have been anemic the past few weeks so let's get some goalies and players out, damnit!  Katherine will be making her return as an added bonus and we'll be bringing the little guy to watch. 

So?????????????

The new nets that were dropped off last week at my place are almost built... didn't have enough time this week to do the final stringing of the tops. If someone wants to get them on Sat, they're just inside the gate. We'll probably need to find a new place to store them though, as once built I've realized that they're too big to fit under my deck.

who's in?  assuming Bubbles "cinderalla story" is on the links, I''l play goalie if the gear appears (then disappears afterwards).

Tonight at Ray's Cafe we are gathering to raise a glass in honor of the great members of the hockey family lost in yesterday's crash.  Drop by for a pint around 9:00 PM.   

This is some great footage of Thomas sharing the Cup with Burlington, VT.  He also receives an award from the school and gives a nice speech about his college hockey experience.

Funny enough, they interview Ted Madden who is now the President of UVM Alumni Relations.  He and I were JV hockey teammates at UVM in 1988. He was a great shot blocker.  I remember the coach yelling, "Big balls, Teddy!"…

After labor day the sun starts setting ~7:30pm, making mid week games tough.  Let's try and get at least one more in though this Thursday if we can.   I have Dan and Sharif confirmed as goalies, and Vincent's in with a 12 pack.

Anyone else?…

I need a bit more help here guys.  Can't golf, yeah well, we're not in the NHL either.  It's for fun.  

Right now: Me, Dan, Carlo, Vincent, David, Chuck, Jason, Bill...

It'd be more fun to keep this in the group, so pick up the sticks.

I have 16 spots stacked up starting at 10am.   

There's  about 30 seconds of footage on NHL.COM right now of Crosby doing some drills and undressing a goalie in the process. I recommend you check it out.  Not sure how recent it is, but it's awesome to be reminded of what a phenomenal talent we've been missing since January.  Keep your fingers crossed that we'll be seeing him in top shape this fall.

BTW...they say Malkin has bulked up and has been doing two-a-days all summer.  Geno is back, Benny is…

We've done this trip a few times now, and it's been so successful, people we nagging me every week about when we'd do it again.  Well, the time is now.  Saturday, Aug 27th, we're moving the game to Bainbridge Island to…

I found this article on Yahoo Sports.  If you look at the list I sent it to, you will see much more of the meaning...

I'm coming off five days at the fourth annual Hockey Greats Fantasy Camp in Kelowna, BC, an event hosted by my dad. He pulled together a dozen ex-NHL beauties whose verbal filters pretty much went the way of tube skates (which one of our guests happened to be wearing by the way, Bauer Black…

Pretty good time last year so lets try this again.  I got West Seattle early in the year; great course for this.  Fun alternative with the guys...

I’ve booked West Seattle for Sat. 10AM Sept 10th. I have 16 spots.  BBQ at my place afterwards.

It's a random draw with teams of two; play best ball, some random drinking hurdles along the way and some basic prizes.  $45 per person covers tee time and prizes.
