some answers

There were a few Q's about what guys will be doing until next year or whether or not they come back. For now all the guys will just be resting there bodies, a long playoff run takes a serious toll on a body, then it's usually time to get a real job and and start training for next year. It's very hard to predict what the roster will look like next year, some guys move on and retire, or find a team elsewhere or hopefully move up to a better league. I've been telling Batman that if he doesn't move up a league something is very wrong.

CHAMPS!!!

Hello everyone I'm blogging on very few minutes of sleep so please excuse and mistakes, well it's all over and when starting the playoffs and this blog it ended the way I dreamt it would almost every night. I'd like to apologize for the absence of the blogs lately the superstitious hockey player in me took over, let me explain. When I blogging I noticed a trend that i wouldn't write one after a loss then we would win and I'd just write about both games, mostly because I would be so rattled after the loss I wouldn't feel like talking about it, but then we'd win so I would share. Well eventually I realized our routine of going 1 win 1 loss the last 2 series and decided that every game after I wrote a blog we lost, and if I didn't write one we'd win, so after the game 3 loss in Allen I was obviously down about the game and didn't feel like talking about it so didn't bother with the blog, and a win in game 4 is when I became superstitious and decided against writing it, well all the talent on our team aside I really think we won it all because I stopped blogging and we won 3 straight.

Other than the games which most of you know about already not a lot has gone on, well other than a funny little incident on a elevator that I would love to share with you. It was Monday morning when our bus dropped us off at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport and we were flying home us a game and everybody was in great spirits, ready to head home and close out the series. When we walked off the bus we found an elevator that would take us to the ticket counter 1 story up. We filed about 10 guys in and hit the 2nd floor button and were off, when the elevator stopped and you expect the doors to open they wouldn't, when I looked around I couldn't help but notice a couple guys with a panic look on there face so I started to jokingly push against them because they were obviously claustrophobic and I thought it was pretty funny thats when the panic really came out of our most veteran player, Scott Wray, now for those of you kids reading this I'm going to have to ask you to put your ear muffs on because this story wont work well I edit Wrayzers exact words. It started with a very loud "Quit F@#$ING AROUND" then we decided to get some help so Wezzy being closest to the buttons started hitting the alarm button making a very loud bell noise, while Hansen made the call on the telephone. "STOP HITTING THE F#&@ING BUTTONS" screamed Wrayzer who when I looked at him had his fist cocked like he was going to punch poor old Wez. When I realized that he was legitimately FREAKING out I tried to calm him before he knocked Wezzy out but was laughing a little at the same time, I mean come on it was funny. Then Rich got through to the guy on the other end of the emergency phone and told him our dilemma, thats when Wrayzer started prying the doors of the elevator open to what I thought would be to climb out, Vandy thought he would offer him a drink of his gatorade and Wrayzers response was "WHY THE F%#K WOULD I WANT A DRINK" Vandy was again left speechless. Thats when I burst out laughing which didn't help poor Wray's situation but he pried the doors open enough to see that we were at the 2nd floor the doors just wouldn't open, then decided he could calm down because he saw people. Makes no sense to me but it was nice to see some of the blood leave his face and go tend to the rest of his body. When the elevator was fixed and we made it out of there it's was all smiles and laughter and a lot of making fun of Wray, because in total we were maybe stuck on there for 3 minutes and 47 seconds total. When I asked Wezzy about the incident he was just excited to be pressing buttons, " I never knew what that alarm button was actually used for, I have pressed it in the past as a joke but never realized it's there for serious situations, so I thought I would take advantage and really hammer down on it until Scott yelled at me to stop, I felt like a little kid getting in trouble from dad." Wrayzer refused to comment.

Well since there isn't any hockey to talk about left, I will be posting some pics of us hanging out with Ray ( Ray Miron Presidents Trophy ) for those who didn't get it. Also I'd like to say that if anyone has any questions about things that happened during the playoff run that you were curious about feel free to ask. I'll answer the best I can and if it's appropriate of course. Thank you and remember, KEEP FIT AND HAVE FUN
