Couldn't agree more. Like I said, had they entered as MB...game on, they'd be in our rankings. Please explain why they didn't just enter as MB? Simple question...hoping for a simple answer. Seems as though the Tournament Director had enough pull to make that happen...it was their tournament. No clue.

Knew this was coming. Thanks for the check and balance. My response is simple. Had a team called the Machine Black entered the tournament, wore Machine Black jerseys and Machine Black socks...we'd have gladly ranked them into our T5. The Blues had a great tournament. Having run a few tournaments, l...

I don't know how you don't have '02 Machine Black in the top 5.

In the Stars and Stripes:

'02 Machine Black (Blues) beat Euro Red 5-2.

The org. from St. Louis backed out at virtually every level and MB filled in quite admirably.

He's not my kid nor my kin. Too chubby.

Correct........He'll still be with the Blades.

You guys are funny today. As you may recall, my post had nothing to do with Team MN or the Blades for that matter. Was just speaking to '02 Machine's poor play at out of town tournaments. More fact based than anything. Why don't you just worry about your own team and its success/failure in Edmonton...

Let's recap the '02 Machine spring season thus far: In April, we drove to Chicago, spent a lot of money and proceeded to finish 5th out of 6 teams playing some really bad hockey. We were told team was progressing and results would come later in the summer. In June, we drove to Winnipeg (actually I ...

Fivehole = Fraud In the past Fivehole was another "parent of an 02' Orange Machine player" just like Irish Eyes. Kind of lose your credability. Both are probably the same person. Like I mentioned before with Irish Eyes, pretending to be a parent of a different AAA team is just plain sad. ...

You seem to think everyone on this board is gullible.

What HD41 said: Liar, liar.........

What makes it worse is the fact that the original coach of '02's who Bernie replaced is once again in charge of the lines. Wrong again whacko. Bernie and Bernie alone runs the lines. You merely made an incorrect assumption when you attended the Machine v. Jr. Jets S&S Championship game. Have fu...

Roster u r looking at is not The Edmonton roster. I know very covert but true. Spehar33, hope you are having a great day today. Smile.. It is always sunny in philadelphia. What happened to your little Orange man? He's not on the final Edmonton roster. I guess you'll just keep on with the Orange des...

Not one '02 Machine Orange player. Where is Irisheyes02???? I thought his kid was going for sure

Good banter! Hopefully the games between the '02's can live up to the current anxiety levels of some of the parents. I don't think it really matters though because it is a foregone conclusion that the Orange will kill the blades because they are so much stronger, faster and overall more athletic. P...

Mo Wanchuk, Spehar33, Napalm 17 and others. I am one of the 2002 Blades Coaches. A parent who follows this board was nice enough to reach out to me to let me know the Blades coaching staff was being repeatedly slandered on this site. To set the record straight, the 2002 Blades coaches are not behin...

Orange Cult, your interest and concern is definitely A++. However, please allow me to present, for argument sake, the contrarian argument that maybe, just maybe, the roster might change between now and June 30th. Mind you, I'm not saying it will. However, one cannot argue with 100% certainty that t...

A lot of changes but, no '02 Orange players rostered yet. Still waiting Irisheyes02

Roster u r looking at is not The Edmonton roster. I know very covert but true. Spehar33, hope you are having a great day today. Smile.. It is always sunny in philadelphia.

When will Irisheyes02's kid ('02 Machine Orange player ) be added to the roster????? The Brick is rapidly approaching!

slow and robotic = orange.

You've been watching your '02 Machine Orange kid too much. Try watching some of the other kids, they are fast and quick.

Spehar33, ignorance must be bliss. Your "evaluation" is a slightly off based but I still enjoyed reading it. Thank you. The game is Chicago was dominated by the Blades. When Machine parents approach Blades parents and say, "what an embarassment" as in the Orange got smoked, I th...

Timing is eveything. Co-worker just told me that 02' Blade assistant coaches lost it on refs during tournament taking multilpe bench minors and costing them the game. Co-worker is not good source... Confirmation on this??? I heard the same thing (didn't see it)........multiple bench minors in multi...

This is what I was sent when I ask a 2000 Blades Parent about the tournament. The Brick tournament at the Novice major level (as they call it Canada) The Brick is a unique tournament and brings together Pick-Up teams from around the country with little on participation or even cross border particip...

The one coach who was replaced focused solely on his kid.

Did anyone see/hear anything about the '02 Machine??? I see they made it to the championship game.........any details???

Gotta scout the new guys!
