Yes. And a small group of the parents cheered and a mom said, "they're only little machines." Then a father of a Monopoly player apologized on their behalf. Same coach or just the same philosophy, you forgot to answer the question, I did? so before you heard this QUOTE Funny, I heard the ...

Actually I did talk to Scott about the tournament in length. He is apparently a better man than me, because if I was in his shoes I would have had a lot more to say about Jingels. I also talked to a parent from the Monopoly and a parent from your machine team. They all had pretty much the same stor...

On a side note the comment from the 00 Machine parent about hammering the monopoly....in pool play? get a life...That is the reason there are orange haters on this board. The 9-2 rout was in the quarterifinals, after pool play had commenced. And I think if you ask people, a 9-2 score is a hammering...

Just wondering about all the Machine kids sitting on the bench in between shifts. (instead of standing up waiting for their turn) What is the supposed advantages of doing this or do you think their are any disadvantages to doing this? (not a critisism, honestly wondering why its done) Couple reason...

Hey Yeahyeahyeah Fact every girl on the USA team played with boys at one point. Also as a friend of 2 members of that team, recently they expressed concern over the talent level of the girls playing todate. When a player has not been challanged by playing with the boys they are not prepared to play...

A lot of you must be on the iceman payroll, because this is a very week field. The only reason the Blades are in it because Tony Br___ let them in for free. He was hoping that it would draw some of the better teams. One can always hope. If there are any of those fantastic player gift bags left over...

If this is the QUALITY of play are looking for then join Showcase, better value at lower price. These are not even open level teams outside the top two or maybe three teams. Yes the alliance has had an impact on Quailty teams playing in tournaments like this. This tournament has no AAA level teams ...

Now that's funny. Maybe the point is that for a Mash game 2-3 kids and the goalie may have a baseball practice they felt was more imporant so they didn't show up. Who cares what the outcome is for a mash game. It's pick up hockey. I coached mash teams that were 84-1 over three seasons a few years b...

Trying to argue with someone who believes a MASH game is equal to the Stanley Cup is an argument that cannot be won. Best of luck to you. So this I what you get from going to a public school! Who said I was arguing or much less the fact that I said MASH games are equal to the Stanley Cup? I was sim...

Are we seriously arguing the merits of a team based on the results of a MASH game? Get a clue! So you are implying that MASH games don't mean much and that those teams playing in those game aren't trying to win? I got it - maybe we should play the games and not keep score? Heck! Forget the games al...

(inigo) However, the remainder of your post gives the feeling of disagreeing with your argument. They are not all equal, but they should get treated equally; wouldn't treating them 'fairly' rather than 'equally' be a better goal. See a lot of common sense in this quote! The world is not "equal...

Am I wrong or is summer hockey for the boys to develope and improve for the winter season? I have 3 boys playing AAA hockey and I coach. If a team from the metro area can't find 15 players that all can play at that level there is something wrong. Why do you think high school and collage teams roll ...

Went up to MG and watched both games against these two clubs. 1st game was very even with similiar time in each end of the rink, equal shots on net. Machine capitalized on their scoring opportunities and the Blades didn't. Stronger goaltending by the Machine. Second game was more or less controlled...
