Schlidaveur 07 Round 6.... The Final Playoff Chapter!

Tonight!
Tonight!
TONIGHT!

Schlitz (2-0) vs. Cadavers (0-2)
Playoff Game 3
Canton 9:10
Tuesday 9/4/07

It all comes down to this. A playoff showdown between sister....err.. brother franchises. The Schlitz are now
playing for the chance to advance to the division CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, and the only thing that stands in the way.... is the Cadavers. This will be the last chance for playoff redemption for the skating dead given that they have lost both of thier previous games, and the last one...ingloriously.
We have seen these roster matchups before. Just three weeks ago these squads faced off. Of course the Schlitz from that game are now the Cadavers... and vice versa...but whatever. That was a very good game and tonight looks to be the same. The Schlitz hold the decided advantage in the season series being up 3-1-1 for the summer. The Cads can only hope to try and come closer to balancing that record.

Schlitz Roster
Larry Bell (out), Pete Capraro, Chris Fosdick (out), Ken Goldenberg, Dan Gregson, Greg James, Bill Pearlman, Scott Pounds, Kevin Manning (with jello shots), Matvey Nikhamik, Dave Spenciner, Jim Sullivan, Stefan Wennik, Mike (Dr. Zero, OEJ) Gash...in net.

Cadavers Roster
Mike Campbell, Deb Dalessio, Matt Elliot (out), Jeff Fosdick, Josh Greenstein, Mike Hammitt, Dan Herbert, Mike Jasse (?able ...injury), Matt Kilroy, Roman Kurin (?able ...vacation), Kevin Parker, George Moorachain, Nelson Sharfman

So let the smack talk begin. Either the Suds are moving on to playoff glory or the Zombies will exact their rotten revenge on the "golden boys". Will the Suds continue their run and hopefully make the combined Schlidavuers proud? Will the Cads take great pleasure with an off season after knocking off the Suds, despite the results from the whole year and playoffs? More importantly... will Kevin really bring the jello shots again? Will Miran be preparing special treats with properly oriented nuggets in them? Will the fourth period last until next season? So many questions.... and tonight we will discover the answers. Tonight the playoff fate of our twin franchieses will be decided. Tonight we go to war with oursevles.

So bring the smack. Bring your game. Bring something for the after party. Just bring it all to Canton by 9:10pm tonight, and we'll have our questions answered.

See you there.

Welcome to the Hockey Blog!

Team, friends, opponents, and random wanderers of the digital landscape... Welcome.

In these humble pages do I offer the game stories, mundane facts, stats, and proud tales of our Beer League Hockey teams the Cadavers and the Schlitz.

Can you say something is just a hobby if you do it once (or twice) a week for as long as you can remember? I don't know, but I love to play hockey. We've been playing with one incarnation of this team or another for ten years plus now. We play even if the games are late at night, or on a weeknight (they are usually both), and the kids haven't been sleeping great, and you have to be to work early tomorrow morning. We still go play. Its just what we do to play our game.

Our hobby... or what we do every week, sometimes(mostly) late at night in far away places. Then we like to have a cold beverage and talk about it in the parking lot afterward. Because that's a big part of it to... as you will see.

I got to thinking a while back that we should keep stats. You know, some way to give a story line to the season. So many of them had flown by, it was hard to remember all the things that had happened to the team or teams over the years.

Keeping track of the stats and email conversation threads that went on and on told our story in a new way. Which was cool.
Then I discovered blogger.

The Blog is a perfect forum, in my opinion, to tell our story, and the perfect companion "hobby" to my weekly sport hobby. Each week we get a game story and maybe some fun stories about the game. It works great now with the two teams because everyone wants to know how the other squad did.

So this is the story of our teams and our friends. I hope you find pleasure in the telling of our tales. A good game, a hard skate and usually a cold beer afterward. There are few greater things one can do with their time. At least that's what we think.

Please feel free to comment, whomever you are. The more the merrier I say as long as you are polite... or very funny. Visitors, friends, and opponents thoughts are always welcome. I invite you to share what you have to say. Everyone.

Thanks for reading.
Enjoy.
