First round of the playoffs.

The first round of the playoffs looks sick this year!!!!

Boston vs. Montreal
Pitt. vs. Philly
Chicago vs. Calgary

Just a few of the games I'm going to want to watch, so let's make sure we know when and where people will be meeting.

That Bruins/Habs series is going to be a gong show.

25 year anniversary of Canadiens/Nordiques "Good Friday" brawl

This goes back a few years, but some of you (Vinnie?) have surely heard of it, or remember it. You can see Chelios right in the fray, which reminds me how amazing it is he's still in the league.

I'll get out a final sheet with final standings in a few days but as a heads up this is what it looks like with standings at this point. $20 bucks. I'll repost here or send me an email and I'll get it to you. Turnaround from final standings to 1st game is pretty quick so you need to be on the ball. email rainer_germann@yahoo.com

Game 4/4/2009

I'm back in action this week. I'll prolly be slow as molasse so that's your chance to undress me on a breakaway. It even looks like the weather will finally break. (Partly sunny is the forecast, whatever that means)

Drop a comment if you'll be joining so we can gauge turnout. Goalies?

HOCKEY GAME IN BELLEVUE ON SUNDAYS AT NOON

Trying to get a feel for if I started some ball hockey on Sunday at noon at Highland Middle School what the attendance would be. They have a perfect area for it that is enclosed (surrounded by fence) and best of all is indoors so rain is no reason not to play. Please let me know if you would be interested.

Thanks,

Ted

3/21 game - need another goalie

Let's get a good turnout this coming Saturday. Peto and Vinny are apparently flying all the way to B.C. to make snow angels and drink cocoa, but we can make up for their absence. In terms of goalies, Sharif says he is probable but Dan is out of town. So, we need a 2nd goalie. Andre, you still got some 'tending mojo? Adam, we could always have you just park your scooter in front of the net I guess.

After the games, there's a big night of HNIC on the tube. Leafs and Habs, and then… Continue

Who's in? And do we have goalies?

Game on Saturday!!

Last week's turnout was weak. Even witnessed a brief wiffle-ball game. Very disturbing. Let's make sure we get a full turn out and game this saturday. No more excuses about recovering from Vegas! I am assuming the usual 2pm start unless enough folks starting an hour earlier....

Sin City Shootout 2nd Annual Team Awards

What can I say? We played great, we had many deserving candidates, but the legitimate hardware from the Sin City Shootout avoided us again. I truly believe that we had some solid contenders for tournament MVP, top forward, and top dman, but I don't believe anyone has received the a call with a UPS tracking number.

Alas, we will cash in next year, but until then I present to you our team tournament awards.
