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.  

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.

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.
