been loafting on this post-game wrap up. not really sure why, its not like i been working at all this week. i got all week off, ive just been too damn lazy to do this. oh yea! and we lost 4-1 to a team we should have beat... that might be one of the reasons ive been avoiding this.
we were missing kevin johnston, brawley jr. and Stabs. we were also pretty much missing hackett, stouty and baskie too because they had already played 5 games of ice all weekend at a tourney, including 2 or 3 on sunday alone so we couldnt really expect them to play hard, i was just happy they came out to the game at all.
ok, so we were able to kind of keep up in the game considering we were missing players and im not going to lie, it wasnt al absolutely terrible game for us considering the outlying factors so im not too bitter. im actually more glad if anything that we lost to the Whalers because when, and i do mean WHEN, we meet them in the finals this year they will have all this confidence that they can beat us again and we wont be the same team they played in sunday. we will be completely rested and ready to slaughter them. i cant wait.
anyways, 4-1 was the final score for the Whalers, brawley got the only goal for us and some plug on their team wearing striped socks got 2 goals. im gonna heckle that idiot HAAARD next time we play the Whalers.
thats all for now, big weekend comin up tomorrow.
party at kotchies the entire time, with kegs and shit. gonna be epic as hell.
then come sunday we're startin the playoffs i think. this convener is f*cking pathetic. its thursday and he still hasnt put up the results from the games on sunday, or any of the new games this sunday coming up. what a dip shit
anyways... PEACE!!!

cannot stress how important this sunday's game is
huge, big, giant, massive playoff implications. minivans aint no second seeded team, and you know that.

Game #11 AKA all out chaos
ill make this short and sweet. not because i dont have the urge to write about the game, but because thats exactly what yesterday's game was... short and sweet.
we were playing Belair ING, the same Belair that we played last year and stabs fought a guy and dropped him in about 4 seconds and i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that they probably dont like us and after last nite they hate us even more.
the game started out pretty well, from the start of the game we knew we had a bigger bench (they had a full line plus like 3 extra players, total) and we knew we could control the game by just taking time, looking for passes and making them work to try to stop us.
by the second shift of the game we knew this was probably going to be a slaughter and we would be the ones doing the slaughtering.
first goal, kells fired a shot from the point that stayed along the ground, stouty was in front and tried to tip it in but he got tied up by the defender and the ball rolled by him, jason came by and picked it up, took his time to shoot it and CHEESE!!!!
second goal was like a minute later, then we got 2 more by the end of the 1st to make it 4-0.
start of the second and about a minute in and stouty gets tangled up with some plug on their team and i guess this guy is a hothead or something because he immediately drops his gloves and rips off his helmet and wants to go toe to toe with stoute. the refs jump in and calm this idiot down and they both get unportsmanlike penalties and whatnot and we play on.
exactly 7 minutes later at 1:33 of the second period and all hell breaks loose.
brawley and some fat defensive player on their team who cant run or play to save his life get tangled up in their end and i know brawley said something to this guy because he goes nuts and starts raining down blows on brawley. thats not a good thing for them when we got Stabs AKA "The Human Cannonball" AKA "The White Ray Lewis" on our team and he books it over to the fat guy and throws a massive flying haymaker at him and then its on like donkey kong. their goalie rushes in and attacks brawley and all this goes on for about 7 seconds before both refs and the convener of the league rush in to stop the fights.
now, at this point im thinking to myself "ok, so we might have a guy kicked out but lets just get this shit settled and get back to playing, ive had 3 wide open looks in front of the net just sitting there by myself and i cant pick a damn corner! i know i can get a goal today, i just need 1 more chance, this goalie is trash"
so the refs seperate the players and start sending guys to their respective penalty boxes and then as the fat defenceman is walking by on the way to the box kells says something to him about his black eye, which was a nice shiner that he had just received from being filled in by stabs. anyways, kells says something and buddy losses it again and tries to rush towards kells and the ref grabs him and he pushes the ref and for a minute there i thought he was gonna clock the ref in the face but the other ref jumps in and manhandles this fat idiot. at that point one ref had had enough and decided that no matter what, the game was over.
it was also over because since their crazy goalie got the boot the players on Belair didnt want to play anymore.
final outcome = 2 game misconducts for their team, 1 for the goalie and 1 for the fat defenceman.
1 game misconduct for stabs.
4-0 victory for the minivans
game over at 1:33 of second period
"game called due to not enough players due to game misconducts" is what it says on the website.
not the prettiest of wins but we'll take it.
dissapointed that we couldnt play on, i wanted that goal. oh well. winning is the only thing that matters and we got the W last nite.
big big big game next sunday. minivans vs whalers at 6pm.
this is huge because whoever wins pretty much clinches 1st place for the regular season and i think they might have a bye through the first round of the playoffs. the bye isnt too important but i want to end the regular season in 1st place and i intend on doing that.
nice shutout baskie

quick note
Heavy Beavy actually took a few shots today and they werent just worm burners either. at one point he pinched right in from the point, walked in and fired a shot at the goalie then got his own rebound and fired a second shot.
he's gonna score sooner or later.
he's gonna score sooner or later.
Game #10
another game another hard fought win for the Minivans.
today didnt pan out as we had expected. we still got the W but this game was wayyy too close in the first 2 periods.
we had control of the ball for most of the game and very rarely allowed the other team to gain our zone or get shots on Baskie but we couldnt seem to find the back of the net for the first 20 min of the game.
first period was an onslaught by us, lots of shots but they were all directed right at the goalie. he was making some decent saves but for the most part we were giving him the saves by not aiming our shots more accurately.
second period was much of the same. lots of good passing and cycling the ball by us but no cheese. we were definitely dominating the titans though and they were scrambling to stop us.
into the third and we finally turned things around.
im pretty sure brawley got our first goal but im looking at the game sheet right now and the time keeper is an idiot and im seeing 3 different brawleys on here when theres only 2 on the team.
so brawley gets the first off a nice pass from stabs, followed 20 seconds later by a goal by stabs.
then with 1 minute left in the game vernoy let off a shot from the point that made it through to the back of the net and then 7 seconds later travis scored.
it was a pretty nice goal by travis, he won the faceoff and rushed forward and caught the defenders off guard and suddenly it was a breakaway. beauty
anyways, the conclusion is that we won 4-0 and we are now 6-4 on the year.
no boxscore yet, might make it later if i feel like it.
good game team, Bel Air next week
PEACE!

some biased schedule making
i was looking over the schedules of other teams. no i wasnt, who am i kidding. kotchie was and called me to rant about it so i figured i would give him due credit for making a startling discovery.
we're in second place right now, trailing only the Ajax Whalers by one point. im not too worried because i know we can beat the Whalers and every other team in the league, the thing that really bothers me, and kotch, is that they have had an obscenly easy schedule this year compared to us.
they've played 4 games against teams that have combined for 1 total win. and they play one more game vs. the titans near the end of the year.
Us (the Minivans) on the other hand have played the bullets twice, roof daddies twice, pylons once, whalers once, and 3 shit teams. and to top it all off we play the bullets again at the end of the year and before that we play Belair. im not too worried about Belair but the fact that by years end we will have played a total of 5 games vs. A teams and a total of 3 games vs. bottom of the standings teams just doesnt seem right.
oh well, we'll just need to win the next 3 games by playing the same way we always play and who cares if we had the hardest schedule out of the teams that can actually compete. it jsut shows that we can win no matter who we play.
unless its the roof daddies.

game #9 - summer league
wow, i knew this was going to be a hard game but THIS??
rematch vs the best team in the league, the Roof Daddies and they had a short bench today so at first i thought we actually stood a chance vs them... AHAAHAHA, think again gummsley.
we started off well enough, good first shift and we were running hard but they're good, really really good.
it spiraled downwards after that. first goal for them was with 2:40 left in first frame, second goal for them was 2 min later. third goal for them was 1 min into the second frame. after that we actually pulled up our socks (so to speak) and outplayed them for approximately 1 minute. we got 2 really quick goals and suddenly it was 3-2 and we were feeling pretty good considering we were 1 goal away from a tie game.
that feeling didnt last very long as they scored a 4th, then 5th, then 6th. you get the gist of it, im not going to give a play-by-play of us getting slaughtered.
final score
Roof Daddies 9
Minivans 4
we really left baskie out to dry on some of those goals and he played his ass off all game. the thing i noticed about them is that they dont run all that much, pretty much not at all. they play pure stretch passes and it works wonderfully for them, dont get me wrong they run and caught us on odd man rushes but they dont run when they dont need to, we run all game. we need to do that because if we got slaughtered by a total of one line and 3 subs, thats 8, count it, 8 players to our 13 then theres something we could be doing that would make us play better and be like them.
Positives we can take from getting our asses handed to us.
- Roof Daddies are no longer in the sunday night league so now we have the opportunity to run shit
- Cow scored again, good job buddy.
- We played well at some points in the game and still managed to get 4 goals against them without Hackett playing
- Stouty is turnin into a star on our team and playin well with Kevin. he had 2 goals and an assist today
- our defence did decent today considering we were also missing Kotchie
Box Score
even more game notes:
- i was on for one goal and that was right as someone was coming off and i was getting on the floor so i wont count that. actually maybe i was on for 2 goals, but not many
- brawley scored twice but only got credit for one goal. his first goal was a BEAUTY! first of the game, he gets the ball to the right of the net and just sat there and waited for the goalie to fall on is face before roofing it on the roof daddies goalie
- cowin is in the running for the MVP of the year award of the Minivans. im gonna have to get a trophy made up because he definitely deserves recognition for the hard work he's putting on for this team
- almost forgot, we had younger brawley for hardly any of the game. he works till 7 and showed up for the 3rd period and pretty sure his first shift he proceeded to set up his brother for our 4th and final goal. maybe if we had his from the beginning we would have scored more.
- cant wait till next sunday
