GAME RECAP: 6/5/2011 VS Predators @ Butler Dek

It is always nice to win, but it was particularly nice in this particular situation on this particular day because I believe that is our first win in something like 10 games.  Good to get that off of our chest no?  It was hot as hell and we once again had a few new faces, but it looking to be a fun summer session if we can keep up the decent play.

HC Dupa got off to an early lead thanks to Marc with a "C."  He had another goal later in the game as well.   Marc also informed us that although he will be attending our game this coming weekend that will be his last because he is leaving for basic training shortly thereafter.  Please thank Marc and wish him good luck when you see him.

We had a bunch of nice chances and were passing the ball better than I have seen in awhile.  The new guys are going to fit in brilliantly.  We took a 3 goal lead but then let them creep back to within 1 late in the game.  Shoup held strong and the dudes on the Dek held off their final surge to protect and maintain the lead for the win.

These guys really didn't have a whole lot of personality, the dek was +90 degrees, and I hadn't eaten for two full days at game time so I don't remember much else that happened.

Thanks to Donte for helping us out.

If you didn't pay me last week it's $40 for the session.  Also if you didn't pay Kev for a shirt it is $12.  I ordered 4 additional shirts if anyone is without one.

The next game is Sunday June 12 at 11am.  Chad, Nord, and I will be returning from canoe trip weekend so we're most likely out but we'll do our best to make it.  Good luck dudes, good show on the win this week.

GAME RECAP: 6/4/2011 VS Roid Rage @ Butler Dek

Recap from Shoup:


Figured I’d do a recap for Saturday night’s game…someone else can do Sunday’s.

Roid Rage ended up being Josh Bartley’s team…aka One Mohawk, Zero Girlfriend, aka No Mohawk, Three spare tires. Why we are forced to play against this douchebag at least once every session is beyond me. There are like 30 teams in C league, and we play 10 of them…but we play him every session.

Anyways, things started out pretty slow. We had a lot of offensive zone time in the first 2 periods. It was 1-1 after 2 periods of play.
Things could have been worse had Roid Rage not been called for off-sides like 30 times. Their one old dude couldn’t grasp the concept of getting on-side and was whistled repeatedly for this infraction…a few times nullifying odd-man breaks in their favor. There were a few players on their team that were having trouble with the general strategy and rules of hockey…and these are supposedly all people who work at Dick’s.
In the 3rd period, they started getting some more offensive chances, led by the afore-mentioned punk Bartley. He was a douche on a mission. They got 3 goals past me in the first 5 minutes of the 3rd period before we scored a couple to break their momentum. It was 4 to 3 with about 3 minutes left. They scored again on a shot from the right slot by none other than No Mohawk-3 spare tires to take a 5 to 3 lead.
We then scored again with about a minute and a half left to get within one goal, but couldn’t tie it up late to force OT.

Final Score: Roid Rage 5, HC Dupa 4.

I can’t recall all the goal scorers, so if you had any of the goals, let Tim know for the stats page. I know the league is supposedly keeping track of these now also, along with penalty minutes…but who knows if they always get it right or not, plus we may have had some people wearing other people’s numbers for one or both of the games this weekend.

Final Score for Sunday was HC Dupa 5, Predators 4…someone else can recap that one if you like. If not I can try to do it.
Next game is Sunday, June 12th at 11 AM vs Sharks. See you guys there. If you haven’t paid Tim yet, bring $40 with you for full-time players, $20 for ½ season guys. Also, shirts are $12. Bring that also if you haven’t already paid and got your shirt.

Thanks Shoup.

Next Session Fees and Tees

Good Morning Fellas.  Want to send everyone a quick reminder about next session.

Our first game is on June 4th @ 10:00PM.  League fees will be in the vicinity of $45.00/person. 

We're also trying something new this session since the summer session tends to lead to many absences.  We will be bringing on "part-time" players.  Players who will not be able to make more than 5 games for the session.  These players will only pay half.  If you know of anyone who may fit this role let me know - and no, we're not prorating per game.  If you can make 6 games, then you pay full price.

If any of you current session players who aren't playing next session are interested in only playing half of the games let me know. 

With the new changes at the Dek requiring everyone to have a number we will be purchasing shirts from the Dek.  They will be $12.00/shirt and will include a number and our logo on the front.  Bring me money for this to the first game.  If you will not be there for the first game give it to me sooner.  First come, first served regarding numbers.

Remember to always have a back-up shirt as well.  I'm thinking our red shirts from the past two session should work just fine (thanks Shoup), if you don't have a BMSPHC shirt simply bring another red shirt.

Any questions let me know.  See you dudes in a few weeks.  Continue to scout for additional players.  I'm out.  

Logo/Shirt Color

What shirt color will go well with the new logo?

End of Spring 2011/Start of Summer 2011 Sessions

Good afternoon dudes.  For those of you who could not make it to the make-up game yesterday - we lost.  What was a promising start to the season ended with an eighth straight loss.  The schedule really effed us up over the course of the last few months and I'll blame our pitiful record on that.  Here's to a better Summer session!

As you all know by now the Dek is under new management and they are making some changes to what we were used to.  Online registration on a vastly improved website is awesome and that was the first right step toward what we're hoping will be many more.  That being said I've heard some of you complain about the management and I understand your frustration, but we really don't have another option as to where we can play so we're going to have to grin and bear it, not worry about it, and just play. 

That also being said I need to share some information with you dudes that I should have received at the meeting on Wednesday night (I skipped because, well, I'm a rebel like that), but that I received in email format instead.  There are a few simple changes and a few more drastic changes.  See both pages below and my edited highlights. 

So apparently we can now receive a penalty for swearing.  Whatever.  I say we talk as much shit as we want until we actually receive a warning from the refs.  The refs swear just as much as the players for heavens sake. 

This is a bit more interesting.  Apparently we are now REQUIRED to have shirts with numbers on them.  So we'll do what you dudes want.  As you can see from the form we can simply write numbers on our shirts but I would prefer to get shirts made - you can never have enough old hockey shirts. 

They provide a discount if we order shirts through them.  If we order light colored shirts it's $12/person with a logo and a number.  If we order dark shirts it's $14.  If we want to add names as well it's a additional $2.00/shirt.  Let me know how you guys feel or if you know someone that can get them to us cheaper.  Also throw out some ideas for shirt colors.  I probably won't do a vote because I don't think many of our current roster uses the Internet, but you guys tell me.  Our first game is June 4th so that gives us plenty of time to get shirts made. 

Anything else that you dudes want/need/request/suggest let me know.  Take it easy, have a good weekend.  

Make-Up Game - Thursday Night @ 6:00PM

Hey dudes.  In the event that you were not at the game on Saturday night, it was called after the first period and it will be made up this Thursday at 6:00PM (thanks Shoup and Benny). 

Will we all be there?  I normally work until 6:00 on Thursdays but I'll try to leave early that day. 

Thanks to everyone that showed up for the game on Saturday.  We'll see you guys on Thursday.

Game Tomorrow/Meeting Next Wednesday

Hey dudes, quick check on who will/will-not be there for the game at 5:00PM tomorrow. 

Please let me know so that we can plan accordingly.  I may not be there, I normally don't even get out of work until 5:00PM, and that's in Pittsburgh. 

Also, there is a coaches meeting next Wednesday at 7:00PM.  Would anyone be interested in going in my stead?  Let me know if you want to.  Thanks dudes.

Tomorrow's Game/New Session

Fellow puckers.  Reminder that our game tomorrow is at 6:00PM.  Please bring with you your payment for next session.  It will be somewhere in the vacinity of $35-$45 depending on how many people.  Right now it's looking like we will have around 10 guys.  Unfortunately they increased the amount to $425 this session so that would make it about $42.50/person.

I will be there so that we can register for next session but there is a 90% chance that I will not be able to play.  I will have the boys with me so unless they change the roles to allow 1 and 3 year olds to play I will be spectating. 

Any questions let me know dudes.  Thanks.

Game this week/Next Session

Hola Boys.  Game this week is at 6:00pm on Friday.  Should we all be there?  If not let me know.  

Also we need to decide if for sure we're playing next session or not.  A few men have backed down for the summer session, and I only heard back from a few others that they're interested in playing again.  Let me know.  

I've been holding off paying the $425 until I know for sure that we will have enough to field a team.  Trav called me on Saturday and said that Bill wants the money by Tuesday.  Whoops, that was yesterday.  Whatever.  If they can't wait for us to pay then they will lose out on the money.  Did anyone pay them while at the game on Friday?  Fuck.  Being manager sucks balls.  

Anyway.  As soon as possible please let me know if you plan on playing again so that I can contact these money whores and pay them.  

Good night.

Game This Week (UPDATED)

Correction, game this week is on Friday the 29th, not Saturday as was previously posted.  Carry on. 

Thanks Shoup. 

Next Session (UPDATED)

OK, so we ARE registered for next session.  I just spoke with Bill's wife and verbally committed us for next session - but now we have a separate issue.  Benny and Dougy are out for the summer and Shoup usually takes the summer session off as well.  That leaves us without a goalie. 

Does anyone know anyone willing/able to play goalie? 
Shoup are you definitely out? 
Are we all planning on playing? 
Anyone know of anyone else wanting to play since we'll be without a few dudes?
Shoup would you be willing to play if you play for free?
Who'll stop the rain?
Is there anybody out there?
What's the frequency Kenneth?

Please let me know.  I have zero time in the next few weeks so I need to be sure we're moving forward with this. 

Also, I changed our team name.  Sorry, no time to vote. 

This Weekend and Next Session

Transcript from Facebook for those of you who refuse to accept modern social networking:

Hey guys. Hope everyone had a nice Easter. Next game is this Saturday @ 7 pm. I know for sure that Chad, Nordo, and myself will not be there. Hopefully everyone else can make it. Also, and this is very important, this is the last week to register for next session. I will not be able to handle managerial duties so someone will have to step up and register the team. I want to play next session and I will pay whomever whenever, but I am not going to front the $400. If someone wants to register the team you can do so by going online or by calling Bill directly. I will post his number on the blog. You may be able to at least call him to let him know we're playing again without having to pay right away. Later dudes.

Bills phone number is 724-355-7855 if you want to call him.  He called yesterday and left a message, apparently there are 12 spots left in C leage. 

I also responded to an email from his wife Erin asking if I can simply give a verbal committment of registration and just pay this weekend.  If that is OK I will let you dudes know so that you can bring your cash for next session to the game and give it to someone at the dek.  Any questions/concerns let me know.  Later duders. 

Bye Week Randomness/PAY ME!

...No seriously, bring me your money if you haven't paid yet.  You know who you are I don't need to remind you. 

In lieu of our off week and me being bored at work, I figured we would re-visit some of my all-time favorite posts and game recaps.  Enjoy.


Here is one of the first ever game recaps done way back in 2008, back when team members actually cared to contribute recaps.  I call this one TRAV THE MARXIST. 


Here is another one done by someone other than myself.  I call this one HONESTLY, MILLER HAS TO BE BI-SEXUAL.


The first (and only) poetic recap.  I call this A-POEM ABOUT A-TEAM.


I'm pretty sure all of Nord's recaps will make the list.  I call this one 4 TO 3 AIN'T BAD.


This one I call RANDOM LENGTH AP WIRE.


For obvious reasons, I call this one FUCK YES.


I believe this one was prior to the start of the 2010 Football and Hockey seasons.  UNREAL.


This is a recap from the first time we played against 1 Mohawk, 0 Girlfriends - or as he is currently known "2 Spare Tires, 0 Girlfriends."  1M0G.  And then our game against them in the playoffs that year.  COUGARS IS A STUPID NAME.


A satirical fairytale recap.  LITTLE DOUBLE AND THE SEVEN SCORES.


One of the all-time bests  Nordo again.  THE LAST JOKE.


Season/Team preview for Summer 2010.


This game we played while most of us were at the STP show:  Stone Temple Recap.


See you dudes in a couple weeks.

GAME RECAP: UPDATE

Thanks to Mace I now know that Chris had two goals.

In case you dudes didn't know you can access the stats/results page under "links" on the main blog page (follow the link at the bottom of your email if you're receiving the post in that manner).

You can also follow the link here: Stats/Results

GAME RECAP: 3/25/2011 VS. BEEF SUPREME @ BUTLER DEK

I'm done doing full recaps for losing efforts, not worth the time.  We lost 9-5 to the Lesbi brothers and their band of butt pirates.  The new joke league started the game 10 minutes early.  By the time Nordo and I arrived we were already down 2-0.  Whatever.

Let me know what I'm missing:

Chad - 1 goal
Tim - 1 goal
Dougy - 1 goal
Chris - 1 goal
Kev - 2 assists
Benny - 1 assist
Mace - goal??

I can't remember who had the fifth goal - nor do I recall who all had assists.  Let me know dudes.

We have a bye next week.  See you dudes in two weeks.  If you have not paid me yet bring your cash.

Drink bitches...

GAME RECAP: 3/19/11 VS A BUNCH OF TOOLS @ BUTLER DEK

Sorry for the delayed and weak recap dudes, I've had a busy week.

We lost 3-2 in OT to a bunch of jokes because we couldn't score on them.  Dougy played well in net - the 3 goals that they scored were all a result of our mistakes in our own zone.

Seth and Marky scored our goals because they were doing work.  Good show fellas.

Next game is in less than 24 hours - Friday night at 9pm.  Hope we can all make it.  

Bring me money if you haven't paid.   Who has ref fees??

GAME RECAP: 3/12/2011 VS Camo Cougars @ Butler Dek

This was one of those games that really make you appreciate the fact that we play in C league.  Yes, the eternal deusch bag "One-Mohawk, Zero Girlfriends"was on the team.  He's fucking huge now.  His new name should be "Zero Mohawks, 3 Spare Tires."  And yes it was a very choppy game with lots of bitching, harsh words, and taunting - but these are supposed to be fun, no?

We had a few late comers but it didn't matter, the game started 15 minutes late because their goalie was the ref from the previous game.  We were going to have only one referee and it could have proved costly - but Banks was released from jail just in time to give the other dude assistance.

We came out flying early and after multiple chances we finally scored first.  We then took a two goal lead and never once trailed in the game.

Shoup played a great game in net, don't let the 6 goals fool you.  They definitely had their chances.  Travis and Mace are beginning to find their places on the team.  Travis had some sick defensive plays and Mace was playing like a true center, distributing in the offensive zone and back-checking like crazy.

They tied the game twice in the second and then we once again pulled away by two goals going up 5-3 heading into the third period.

Kev had a dirty shift in the third along the boards by our bench.  He was being hounded by some ogre dude and spent like 20 seconds playing from his knees and his back.  You don't realize how much you miss dudes playing D like that until an unreal shift like that happens.  Shreck was non-stop but Kev held tight and eventually cleared the ball.

Dougy got crushed along the boards at one point and Trav tried to start shit.  Nothing.  There were a few penalties for random trips, roughing, interference, etc. - and then that shit head "Zero Mohawks, 3 Spare Tires" took the ball around the back of his own net and while I attempted to lift his stick he bought it and allowed me to smack him in the face.  Some old ho from the stands starting bitching about the play being dirty.  If she hadn't spent her life watching soap operas and sucking dick for Zima she would have some understanding of hockey.  Anyway, the pansy bleeds and I get a double MAJOR penalty.  I didn't even know those existed in Dek Hockey.

The clock manager forgot to start the clock and I ended up serving like 3 minutes instead of two, but the worst part of the situation was that they ended up scoring two goals and tying the game at 5 with 6 or 7 minutes to go in the third.

The tie was short lived though.  Dougy had set me up on the door step for a "can't miss" goal earlier in the game and he once again worked his shit in the offensive zone, feeding Nordo a beauty in the slot for us to once again take the lead.

We held the lead for a few minutes and it was seeming that we were well on our way to our second win in as many games.  Unfortunately we then took a penalty and with less than a minute remaining in the game we were short-handed.  Their power-play didn't last long.  There was a face-off that resulted in Shoup covering it, and on the resulting face-off they won it to the point and blasted a shot through a screen past Shoup.  Shit.

With like 50 seconds left the game was once again tied, this time at 6.  I don't remember exactly how it happened but somehow we ended up 3 on 3.  Nordo made a good defensive play and got it to me at the line.  I dumped it across dek for Trav to track it down.  Obviously he wind-sprinted and was the first to the ball.  He made a play out of the corner, I parked in front of the net, I think Nordo got it there and off of the rebound I squeezed it through the goalie's pads.  7-6 fucking BMSPHC with 23 seconds to go.

Unfortunately we got an unsportsmanlike penalty because of our taunting actions following that goal, but we held on for the win.

Fuck yeah fellas.

I think I'm accurate on the stats but let me know if i'm missing something or if something is in error:

Kev - 2 assists
Dougy - 2 assists
Trav - 1 assist
Nordo - 1 goal, 1 assist
Chad - 1 goal
Tim - 4 goals

I'm fucked up on the score again aren't I?  What the hell.  I need to start keeping score at the game.  Was the final score 7-6 or 6-5???  If we did indeed score 7 who had the seventh goal? Assist?  Someone scored from the point I think.  Who was it?  Shit.  Oh well, I updated what we have.  I see you whores next week @ 4:00.

GAME RECAP: 3/4/11 VS TAYLOR GANG @ BUTLER DEK

It's good to kick-off a new session with a solid win over a bunch of punks.  Last session we lost to these little funkers because of the freckle-faced, red-headed step child who wears a helmet and kisses his sister/girlfriend.

As I recall from last session, someone was either thrown out of the game or almost fought the bitch after the game.  It was good to see him flustered and unable to penetrate our stellar D last night.

We were joined by two new dudes who contributed brilliantly, and also two past members who showed us how much we missed them.

Dougy was stellar in net once again, Benny showed the punk bitch what it was like to be a man, and Chad Scuderi portrayed his offensive skills.

As usual though controversy follows the Random Length/UCHC/BMSP hockey franchise and we were asked to leave the dek afterward on the account of having open containers.  Whatever.  I'll bring beers again next week.

The game wasn't exciting enough to do a full recap so we'll keep it shortened.  Trav missed a penalty shot.  I thought the game was over after two periods and I tried to shake hands.  Travis can't decide if he's left or right handed and it works to his advantage.  Kev scraped his elbow.

Goals:
Trav X 3
Nordy
Chad
Tim

And only now did I realize that I had the score at 6-3 above but we actually had 7 goals.  Did they have 3 or am I wrong there as well?????  Who effing knows.

I have no idea who had assists so I'm only going to track goals this session.  We need a statistician.

I'll see you bitches next week.

Reminder: Game this week/League Fees

Winter Session 2011/New Team Name/New Shirt Color

Hello dudes!  Hope everyone has had a nice break from me.  I know that I have thoroughly enjoyed my time apart from you!  As a result of employment changes I am no longer able to spend hours parading  the Internet so I'll get right to business.

Registration deadline for the late winter/early spring session is February 14th.  Let me know if you plan on playing this session and if you have any other players interested in playing. 

Also we'll discuss the possiblity of new shirts/team name once we have a squad. 

Thanks dudes, talk to you later.
