All games Cancelled Sat 5-9-09

The ice melted at NYTEX. This is not a joke, tonight's games are cancelled.

(Now for the jokes)

Speculation on reasons:

-Frank and Knute have decided that since the Brahmas season is over, they can finally get rid of the ice completly and install a swimming pool for water polo.

-The Silver Bullets feared playing the Stingers so much that they threw a Spider Monkey Wrench into the compressor.

-Euless StarCenter I-league attendance is down, so they're doing everything they can to draw NYTEX players over there, including sabotage.

Limited Number of Contributors Being Added

This little site started out as a fun way for me to get to know all the people I play against, and man did it explode! Lots of you guys have told me how much you enjoy it and if I go more than a couple of days not putting some info up, I hear about it from all of you.

I would love to spend an hour a day posting stuff here but I have to work to pay for my hockey, so I don't always have time to add fresh stuff every day.

I have invited a couple of people to join me in being contributing authors to the blog, so that we can keep making this a fun, dynamic place to waste time. Remember that you don't have to be an author to comment on the posts, and you can always email me (I know the last couple weeks I haven't even checked that email, but now I have it set up to automatically hit my phone so I get notified immediately.)

Think you have what it takes to contribute to this thing of ours? Come talk to me. Don't know how to find me at the rink? If you don't know, ask somebody. :)

Texas Offense Continues to Roll

TEXAS ONE WIN WITHIN REACH OF CHAMPIONSHIP; BEAT EAGLES 6-3 IN GAME 4

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas (May 5)-The Brahmas motto for their playoff run this season is “One Goal”, and now they are in position for one win to win the CHL Championship tomorrow night as they defeated the Colorado Eagles 6-3 in Game Four of the CHL Finals Tuesday night.

Brahmas leading scorer in the postseason found himself in the penalty box early in the game, giving the first ranked Eagle’s powerplay an opportunity for the first goal of the night. Colorado buzzed around Brahmas netminder Brett Jaeger’s crease until Konrad Reeder’s shot found the back of the net for the 1-0 lead. As the game continued the teams skated intensely when with four minutes remaining in the period the Eagles were to be penalized; but before Colorado could find possession defenseman Kevin McLeod put a screaming shot past Andrew Penner from the point for his third of the postseason.

The Eagles regained the lead when Ed McGrane scored his team leading eleventh goal of the playoffs on the powerplay. Down but not out, the Brahmas gained momentum from the sold out crowd at the NYTEX Sports Centre and a shot on Penner from the blueline by Brahmas veteran defenseman Mike Vellinga was evidence of a turning point for Texas when it slowly trickled across the goal line for his first of the playoffs. It was a scoring barrage by the Brahmas from there as Jason Deitsch took a pass from Brandon Benedict and Scott Sheppard for Texas’ first lead of the evening.

Texas tough guy, Greg McConnell was able to get in on the scoring as he lit the lamp 1:34 minutes after the Deitsch goal. With one minute remaining the Brahmas were able to get their first powerplay goal of the game when Deitsch’s shot went up and over Penner for the 5-2 lead.

Colorado geared for a comeback in the final period when McGrane notched his second of the night, but McLeod and his teammates were not ready to sit back when McLeod tallied his second in the game on a powerplay. The Brahmas are now 6-0 in the playoffs when outshooting the opponent as they had 43 to the Eagles 25.

Game Five of the Ray Miron President’s Cup Finals will be played tomorrow night (Wednesday) at 7:05 PM at the NYTEX Sports Centre in North Richland Hills.

Week 2 Standings, Spring 2009

Dreamy

2nd week of the season was a strange one... by the end of every game, it looked like the beginning of Michael Jackson's Thriller video with all the fog.

But they did get the dehumidifier fixed before the Brahmas game Sunday night. Brahmas lead the series 2 games to 1. Woohoo!

I have decided that NYTEX is the only place in the world that DOESN'T need more cowbell.

The Uniform Czar is Pleased

General Stolisomancy, Uniform Czar


The Silver bullets have made the Uniform Czar very happy with their new dark grey uniforms with black letters and numbers, very nicely done.

The Hurricanes, our newest addition to the league, has also satisfied the Uniform Czar with their sharp White and Blue.
