Preview Week 5 I league
Before Previews...we got this from keith today...
"Effective tomorrow night, Saturday 6/10 the beer prices will be in effect for pitchers at DPSC-Euless and the pitcher size will remain the same.
Miller Genuine Draft Special $5
Other Domestic $7
Import $9
I went to bat hard for this reduction in price because we appreciate the business you have given us and we want folks to enjoy playing in our rinks and spending time socializing.
Please also note that drinking in the parking lot is not allowed and we have been notified by the Euless PD that they will be patrolling the area. Please make sure you don't put yourself at risk by drinking alcohol in the parking lot."
So take whatever risks you feel are appropriate. Have fun, burn down villages, and hang a terrorist....previews...
Ice Holes vs Warriors: 6:30pm
Rahul Gilbreth and the Skupiens must find a way to shut down Lehr and his Warriors. If the Holes drop this one, they are pretty much out of any postseason contention. Scouts have said the Chris Skupien may make a debue....
Borrachos vs Patriots: 7:30pm
Patriots still have some momentum after beating Mayhem to start the season. Their Shootout loss last week came to a solid Stingers squad, so panic hasn’t set in yet. The Borrachos will unleash Shawn Haley with Jack and Jim Stuckeman, question is, can the Pats shut them down like they did last season? HIIII JACK!!!!
Stingers vs Spiders: 7:45pm
No Josh Briscoe or John Nickerson in this one, might have the Stingers in a bind. However there will be no Sharma in this one for the undeafted spiders. Jason Islam will be wearing a "I heart Bobby Sirkis" jersey. A spiders win clinches a playoff spot, while the Stingers can jump ahead into first place with a win. Jeff Vaughan says steal some candy from a 10 year old and watch this game.
Fugaweez vs Shockers: 8:45pm
Shockers will hope to have the conner brothers with them, if not, it may be a long evening. Fugaweez are 4-1 favorites to win this game.
Puckers vs Komets: 9pm
Probably the one of the biggest battles this season in the Silver division. For the Komets, Chris Gallagher, Hodges, and Atkins will have to shut down Luchenhoff and Rintala. Winner’s keg hopes are alive, loser will need some help to get back in the hunt.
Spiders Platinum vs Leftovers: 10pm
Spiders-Plat will try and bounce back from the 5-2 trouncing they took at the komets last week. This should be an actual good game to watch with a beer in hand.
Blue Devils vs Snipers: 10:15
See the Puckers/Komets game for level of importance. Ray workman and his gang of miscreants will come out guns blazing trying to end the Snipers defense of the Keg. Todd Smith has been rumored as to taking Steroids this whole last week. He said it had something to do with Cheese. Todd Smith is a strange fellow. Workman has rumored to bring in “D League” help…whatever that means.
Mayhem vs Stickmen: 11:15pm
This will be a colossal slaughter. There is more scoring in the Nunnery at Westminster Abbey than there is in the stickmen team. David Blubaugh and Alex Eyesermans are the only reason this team has a chance in any game. At the same time, Mayhem, who is still frusterated by their loss to the Patriots earlier this season, needs a game to light up the scoreboard. We think they might have found it. Head Coach Bobby Sirks said this about the upcoming game, “In honor of the judge making Paris fulfill her entire 45 day sentence, we will score 45 times Saturday”

It's Hitmen vs. Hockey Team for D-League Title
The Hitmen and Hockey Team will play a three-game series for the D-League title after the two prevailed in semifinal games Wednesday.
How they got there:
Hockey Team defeated the Misfits 7-2 in the semis after beating the Blue Devils 7-5 in a bloody first-round game that featured fisticuffs, ejections and several game misconduct penalties. So far in the playoffs, Mike Ross has three goals, and goalie Sean Hadley has a 3.5 GAA. He'll have to bring that down against the Hitmen.
The Hitmen beat the Beerflyers 8-4 in the semis. Chris Gallagher was the star, scoring four goals, including an empty-netter as time ran out. The Beerflyers got a hat trick from Dan Custred. The Hitmen defeated the Stickmen 7-2 in the first round.
Gallagher had two goals in that one.
The smart money says: Take the Hitmen in three. At least, that's where our heart lives.
In other playoff news, the Euless C-League champ, HAVOC, will face Jokerit of Farmers Branch at 7:45 p.m. Sunday for the Metroplex C-League title. The game is at FB. Jokerit goalie Terry Redmon reports: "Could make for a fun game to watch and report on." Yeah, if Sarg and the other Euless players on HAVOC don't wipe the ice with you, Terry. Snap!

Player Profile: Jason Isham
(Isham being attacked by the werewolf)
We sat down with I league Super Ringer and C League Master Jason Isham and talked about life...Q. When did you learn to play hockey?
A. A few years ago when my life partner, Scott Olson, said I should give it a try.
Q. Where did you learn to play?
A. Bedford Little Boys Ranch
Q. Who is the hockey player you most want to become like?
A. Well I have a lot of hockey heroes; Sharma, Hodges, Briscoe, Daniel Barr. Some people have likened me to Crosby, but there is one person I wish I could be.
Q. Who might that be?
A. That person is Bobby Sirkis. The guy is just an incredible and gifted athlete. Plus he gets all the chicks. Who wouldn't want to be like that man?
Q. Talk a little more about Bobby Sirkis’ role in your hockey career.
A. I got the privilege to play in a tournament with him last year in Frisco. That was awesome, I learned so much.
Q. What is your favorite food?
A. I am a huge nut fan. I like them salty, roasted, candied…you put some nuts infront of my face, I will eat them.
Q. What is your most favorite hockey memory?
A. It happened just last season. We were playing The Hockey Team in D league, and we were down by a goal with less than a minute left, we pull our goalie and Sirkis comes on as the extra attacker. Well I am doing what I do best, skate in circles with my head down. Then Sirkis comes out of no where and steals the puck from me and scores. I thought I still had the puck! It was amazing. Oh how I wish I could be like him!
Q. What is the best team in I league this season?
A. I would have to say it is a tie between the Patriots and Mayhem. I can’t decide because I have so many heroes on each team. I don’t want to anger any of them.
Q. What songs do you have on your Ipod?
A. We Built This City, I Feel Like A Woman, My Humps, Macarena, Ice Ice Baby, Feelings, These Boots Are Made For Walking, Hit Me Baby One More Time, Barbie Girl, and my most favorite, I get around. I inherited this great song as my theme song for my ability to spend countless minutes skating around in circles with the puck and not passing.
Q. Who is better Jack Bauer or Chuck Norris?
A. Neither, Jeff Vaughan.
Q. What do you think of the ringer problem?
A. Ringers are what makes the game great. People should just learn to skate. But I understand, nobody can be like me.

Cool workout video
OK, I'll stipulate this caveat right off the bat: Most readers of this blog haven't done a sit-up in 20 years.
For the rest of you, and those interested in exercises specifically aimed at improving your skating strength, check this free video of Dallas Stars working out recently (since their elimination; I'm surprised these guys are still in town).
The video is part of a section in today's Dallas Morning News on men's fitness. Check it out online or at your local newsstand for details on the exercises you see here.
