PLAYOFFS!!!

ok, so... first game of the playoffs was yesterday. our first series we are against the titans. the same titans that we beat twice in the regular season by a combined score of 14-1. yea... those titans.

Stabs got a goal the first shift and it seemed as though we were gonna breeze through the game.
for some reason though we didnt hit mesh after that for a long ass time. we were outplaying them and we knew we were the better team but sometimes shots would go wide or we would get fancy and something would happen to mess a guy up or for some other random reason we weren't scoring goals.
thats ok though, we were facing the titans and they're trash.

no big deal, stouty got a nice goal in the second and gave us more momentum. the titans came back and scored on a weak goal but we werent worried at all and knew what we had to do.
stouty came back in the 3rd period and got another goal and then finished off his hat trick 6 min later. natural hat trick too, fancy shit stoute. nice work.

johnston got a goal late in the game after i had a nice chance and he deserved that one. he had a bunch of chances all game and finally converted.

good game minivans. lets smash the titans again this upcoming sunday.

special mention to Stabs. he got hit with a slapshot right in his junk near the end of the game and had to actually leave the game. thats tough as hell. im sure the next few days are gonna suck for him.

been a bit slaking lately... been slacking a bit lately., there ya go

so yea, its been 2 weeks i think. last week we played the bullets to end off the season. shit was goin well until jason scored to put us up 5-1 and he dared to celebrate his goal. they scored 3 quick goals and suddenly it was 5-4. we came out with a win though and ended the regular season with a 7-5 win and with a 8-5 record. not too shabby, second place going into the playoffs.

game #12

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.

more to follow...

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.
