week 4:
3 Stars

2. Steve Niekanf: Puckers- 3 Assists. Puckers 5-1 win
3. Jim Stuckeman- 3 Goals. Borrachos 4-3 loss
Honorable Mention: Rahul Sharma: Patriots- Patriots 4-3 SO loss
Goalie of the week: Bobby Michaelidis: Warriors. 17 Shots, 17 Saves. Shutout. Warriors 1-0 win
Tensions are beginning to flare up as are tempers on the ice as the fourth week of hockey is over. Enjoy…
Warriors 1 Stickmen 0
Stickmen still remain scoreless on the season and drop to 0-4. The warriors win wasn’t a pretty one, but they’ll take it, as Frank Caspersen gets the goal on a Greg Lamb assist in the first period. After that, pretty much nothing. Warriors throw 17 shots on Stickmen keeper David Blubaugh who really deserved a better fate. Sticks get 9 shots on the night, all paddled away by old fugs keeper Bobby Michaelidis. Warriors continue to be in the hunt for one of the top four playoff spots with three games to play.
Snipers 2 Shockers 1
Snipers have to fight and claw to get the win here against a scrappy shockers squad. Chris Conner gets the Shockers out to an early 1-0 lead with an unassisted goal. Snipers rally right back on Greg Martinez’s goal in the second period shorthanded, while in the 3rd period it was Brandon Armstrong’s goal that was the difference maker to keep the Snipers within reach of getting back to the keg game. Jesse Henderson after the game said, “Michigan is the greatest school in the history of this great country”. This had nothing to do with hockey or the game in particular, alcohol must have been involved.
Spiders 4 Borrachos 3
Spiders hang on for the 4-3 win in a see saw game that had both team with chances to pull ahead. This one got rough at times with a total of 18 PIM total in the game. The undefeated spiders struck first on a goal from Chris Gallagher to take the early lead. The spiders added to it with a goal from Rahul Sharma later in the period. With 40 seconds left, Jim Stuckeman puts the Borrachos on the board on an unassisted strike. Stuckeman would then tie it in the 2nd on a feed from Jack “where’s zack” Stuckeman. Borrachos thought they had turned the game in their favor when Jim Stuckeman got his third of the night to make it 3-2 Borrachos. However 6 seconds later the game was tied when Gallagher got his second goal of the night to make it 3-3. Whitney Freeman who gave Borrachos defenders fits all night was able to sneak in late in the third to get the go ahead marker on the powerplay. Borrachos had a chance to tie it late, but excellent goaltending by Matt Sexton was enough to keep the spiders perfect record in tact.
Stingers 4 Patriots 3 (SO)
Stingers get their revenge from last season’s patriots’ massacre with a hard fought shootout win. According to sources, Josh Briscoe went into the future and came back as John “B Leaguer” Nickerson. Nickerson gave the Pats a run for their money with coast to coast runs all night. After a Rahul Sharma goal early in the first, Nickerson tied the game late at 1-1. The Patriots then built up a 3-1 lead on Sharma’s second goal of the night and a tally from Steve Benefield. Stingers then raced back on goals from Ronald Widmann and Mike Best, which were 18 seconds apart. The OT had both sides trading shots, including pure robbery by Jesse Gonzales on Jason “Islam” Isham. The shootout had Greg Carter with the winner after the Pats were blanked in the shootout by Total Eclipse, Dana Fenili. Stingers improve their record to 3-0-1 while the Pats still have a strong grip on the fourth and final playoff spot.
Mayhem 2 Ice Holes 1
With their loss to the Patriots earlier in the season still burning in their minds, Mayhem faced a must win game against a team which proved to give them problems last season. Mayhem and the Holes battled epically until late in the second with Greg Mersberger scored with helpers from Tommy Long and Trevor “Patrick Stephane” Lichty. (more on Lichty later). Mayhem would cling to a 1-0 lead when Tommy Harnitchek made the score 2-0 Mayhem with under 2 minutes left in the game. However the story of the night wasn’t Mayhem winning, it was Lichty coming down uncontested and missing the empty net from six feet away ala Patrick Stephane earlier this season for the stars. And just like in that game, sure enough Jared Junker scored with one second left in the period. Ice Holes still lost the game, but proved to be a comedic finish.
Komets 5 Spiders Platinum 2
Komets keep their winning ways up and improve to 3-1 on the season with a convincing win over the shorthanded spiders. Chris Gallagher and Gerald Cappers each get on the second while Mike Gallagher gets on of his own as the Komets headed into the 3rd up 3-0. Sean Kerr and Mike Gallagher added two more goals to have the Komets in a commanding 5-0 spot, however two Whitney Freeman goals late made this contest interesting. Spiders were without three of their big guns, but still maintain a shot at improving as they hold a game in hand over most of the league. Komets’ pick up of Chris Gallagher has been the most valuable transaction thus far.
Blue Devils 3 Brewzers 2 (SO)
Blue Devils again find themselves in the shootout, this week they wind up on top as the victors in this one. Brewzers had the foothold in this one after the first period on a goal from Paul Thurston and Brian FlashBart. The one from FlashBart coming with only two seconds left in the period. The Evil Empire rallied with a second period goal from Chris Zolle and got the equalizer in the third from Dave Loggins. Shots were even in this one seventeen shots on each side going into the shootout. Mark Cameron gets the game winner in the skills competition as he beats Brewzers net minder Mike Moore for the much needed two points to stay atop the Silver Division. After the game, Ray Workman said the Blue Devils organization will be donating several thousand dollars towards Siberian Orphans.
Puckers 5 Leftovers 1
Apparently the Puckers team which was present the first game of the season is just a mere aberration now as they get another huge win and are probably the hottest team in the silver division. After a scoreless first, the puckers went up 2-0 in the second on two goals from Ryan Rintala. Leftovers were able to get a goal from a mysterious number 9 who wasn’t on the score sheet. Puckers continued their decimation with Ken Luechenoff and Rick Gregory scoring. Rintala would also score late in the game for the hat trick. Puckers should be feared by any team they play now.

Good game Spiders...That was a lot of fun. Nate, that's freaking hilarious...Hiiiiiiii Jaaaaaaaaaack!
LOL!!!
"pure robbery by jesse gonzales" thats funny. nate, aka little balls, aka scrotum, i hit the pipe leaving jesse stunned. there was no save. many people say i hit the white pipe and scored (but since my shot is soooooo josh briscoe, it went in and out so fast the refs missed it).
and little balls, i don't want to hear any complaining about nickerson since your patriots have 4 guys playing in the c-league and several more in the d-league. face it, you can't beat total eclipse.
-isham
isham is the greatest
I saw a Save by Gonzales.
I believe there were witnesses who saw the same...
i saw prophet mohammed
Was he eating grass after the game?
if i was gay i would totally do isham
if you weren't gay, isham would probably let you do him
ALL HAIL ISHAM
ALL NAIL ISHAM
isham is the greatest C-leaguer ever to play I-league..
Its like Crosby playing for the Brahmas...
I guess that since everyone is pretty much tired of the losing teams complaining about ringers, it was just a matter of time before the ringers on the winning teams started to bash the losing teams.
You are such a winner Isham. You must be proud.
I heard Knute is coming back to Euless to play on the borrachos ...
Leave Isham alone.
Its a self-esteem thing.
Psychologists call it the "need for achievement" (nAch). Thats when an individual who is average/spare at one level
(C-league)intentionally seeks a lower level (I-league) so they can achieve greater results. Its kind of like self-handicapping, but in reverse.
So, well done Isham! You're the greatest! And, while your at it, pass the congrats to Nickerson, Carter, etc.
easy there. my comment to little balls (nate) was just to give him crap because he's my friend.
also, those who know me know that i only half ass it when i sub i-league. i even play defense and i suck at defense (although much better than sirkis hahaha). i will merely rise to the challenge of the opposing teams "ringers".
-isham
ps: those players without the "need for achievement" are the bottom of the barrel i-leaguers who can barely skate, never practice, never improve and do nothing but complain because their opponents dont suck as much as they do. i'm only called a ringer because i practice. show up to drop in and quit crying ringer every week.
Agreed.
Leave Isham alone. The running rivalry between BAC, Isham and Sirkis is in good fun (until this sunday when two of the three will kill the smallest of them)
It is in good fun. Altough Isham does look up to Sirkis in some things.
And Jason....for what it's worth...I'm sorry for what i'm about to do....
At least our ringers don't carry the team and score all of our goals. If you don't want Isham out of the league then get your boy Sharma out as well. I like playing with and against better players because that's the only way to get better. I suck and I know it. Our ringers know their role and are there to keep it fair. I don't think Isham has scored for us in the last two seasons. But I learn alot from playing with Isham.
To set the record "straight" ............I did not make a save. Pure luck. It hit the cross bar and out.
Nice to see Keith and Tom doing such a bang up job since Knute left! What happened to the vailed promises that any players playing in the "C" league would be TOLD to get out of the "I" league? All you guys that play "C" league are such loosers! Why don't you try and play up! instead of dropping down two levels. Maybe you should get your collective ass's handed to you by some of the "B" league or maybe "A" league players instead of picking on the "I" league! Get a life!!!!
Poor Stingers. They have to play against Sharmas other I / C league team this week. Rumor has it The great Josh Briscoe is not going to make this one as well.
I heard Tom and Keith are playing for the Borrachos too ...
There will be no Josh Briscoe or Jon Nickerson this week, but the Stingers will still win. Noone gives any props to there two of there best players Roland Whidman and Greg Carter.
Go Stingers
Enough about damn ringers... seriously! My team hasn't even scored a goal and you don't hear us complaining.
Word is, Val (the new girl) is holding out so that one of the men can score the first goal of the season, thus keeping their "balls."
Wow your team sucks - maybe you should get some ringers there.
word on the street is something very funny is about to be posted on here.....this might just be bad enough to wish you weren't a ringer, or at least a main topic of discussion......
at least sharma doesn't leave comments about his shot that almost went in or how he half asses it.
can we please go back to briscoe talk
Sharma is to busy trying to rule the I league by playing on all the teams. He's good!!! Why is he so scared to play with people at his level? He doesn't leave comments about half assing it because he doesn't. He doesn't talk about shots that almost went in because he scores a couple goals a game anyway.
Forget the Briscoe talk it's been said. More ringer talk! I'm waiting for the Hully comeback sightings...
I am a ringer. My team is good and I am the shitty player that keeps us at I league status.
It's kinda hard for the management to kick out all the ringers in the middle of the season. We'll see what happens after this one is over. And contrary to popular belief, you don't get better by playing against someone who you can't even skate with. Use common sense people, ringers don't make anyone better and when they're playing they always seem to either have the puck or get it passed to them so how does that help their teammates get better if they never touch the puck the entire game? Face it, they play down because in the D and C leagues they get their butt's handed to them and have to play down in order to get their ego boost. (just look at the Wolverines in D and you'll know what I'm talking about)
It sounds like your ringer doesn't pass the puck like mine. Playing against them makes me skate harder and try different things to get around them.
I would like to play in a league with no ringers so I can get my ego boosted too.
what about the d league wolverines? they finished th reg season 4th and lost their playoff game in a shootout
Speaking of Wolverines, check out Isham!!!!
LOL!
i heard that ringers have an extra muscle that allows them to skate faster and jump higher
Dont forget drink faster too!
I heard nate actualy flew in his C league game
yes, he did! then he tried to use his lasso of truth and block shots with his bracelets.
AFTER THE SEASON STARTED? GIVE ME A BREAK! WE WERE TOLD IN THE MEETING BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED THAT THEY WOULD WEED OUT THE RINGERS! SO HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SEEN KEITH OR TOM AT THE RINK ON A SATURDAY NIGHT? FYI, THERE IS A STANDING RULE THAT IF YOU PLAY IN THE "C" LEAGUE OR ABOVE YOU CANNOT PLAY IN THE "I" LEAGUE! THIS IS WHY WE HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS NO ONE INFORCES THE RULES THEY ALL READY HAVE! ALL YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT IS WINNING WHAT HAPPENED TO JUST DRINKIN SOME BEER AND HAVING FUN?
'what about drinking and having fun?'
i don't know, you tell us
Speaking of drinking. Since the Crossbar is charging $9.00 for beer, I say we start an I league after party at the Fox and Hound each week.
It's to the parking lot for the Borrachos!
Ringers and Beer prices - all is back normal!
I heard the stingers just signed Craig Ludwig and Mike Keane - is that cool with everyone?
Rumor has it that Warriors, Borrachos and both spiders throw wild parties in the parking lot.
might there be a grill this week!?!?!?
btw...fox and hound = lame
Dukes is where the ringers go
Drinking in the parking lot? Better be careful guys just ask some of the old timers what happenes when the cops show up and bust your ass for drinking in the parking lot! not only did the rink almost loose their beer permit we all got tossed out on our colletive asses!!!!!
heard they got busted in the parking lot last week end drinkin beer ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha you guys are such idiots! I told you that they would call the cops on you! :0) maybe next time you will listen!!!!!!!
