Steamers Hockey

We are now on a two game unbeaten streak going into the final game of the regular season. And we have a chance to win and come in at .500, which pretty much puts us in line with how we’ve been playing all season (aka mediocre). So here is this chick Amy to get you excited for a possible playoff run.

Took me a while. But stats are updated. And we are (go figure) sitting at .500 for the year so far.

Despite terrible goaltending, the Steamers managed to beat one of the new teams in the division, Hudson Fire, by an old football standby score of 9-6. Julz (pictured here) was not impressed by either goalie.

In other news, the first four games of the season have been posted in on the schedule page. And there are rumors of new jerseys. Stay tuned.

We’re back in the playoffs starting next week. We finished up the regular season strong last night with our second win in a row. Hopefully we can carry some of that momentum into the playoffs. And just for some motivation, if we win next week, these girls show up the second night. Stats are updated through the end of the regular season.

Too bad for the team, I’m back from vacation, and in net again. And back to losing. Sounds like the guys played better while I was gone. At least they may offer to ship me back to Australia, and I probably wouldn’t turn it down. Stats are updated.

Per usual this season, last night we played only as well as the other team and managed another tie. That brings us to 3-5-5. Pretty ridiculous. But at least it was a comeback tie. And the other goalie actually showed up this week. But forgot his pads. Really?

In other news, our boy is all grown up. Chad brought beer for the first time in like three years. And actually drank one with us. It’s about time.

I put in some code to give stats on game winning goals, so go check out the stats page for more mindless time wasting. In celebration of this, I give you Ashley and her stick…

Our last few game have been tight ones, and we seem to be fans of tying teams this year.

So in keeping with all things “tight and close”, and to encourage us to finish it off in the third period, I give you this Teemu Selanne fan. I hear she will be hanging out at the next game. I wish I could take credit for being the photographer, but I can’t, so give shooterman1 the photographer of the week award.

In other news, more schedule has been posted, and the league is still screwing us unfairly with Sunday games, and lying about it. I don’t see anybody else who has half their games on Sunday. Jim – you are a lying douche.

Just to get you ready for the upcoming Steamers winter season, I found some more pictures of hot ladies in hockey jerseys. Kentucky really does know what they’re doing. In other news, the first part of the schedule has been posted on the schedule page.

Even though we came up with a lackluster .500 record this season, somehow the Steamers have managed to lock up 2nd place in the division going into Monday night’s playoff game. What does that tell you about our division? It might be parity, but in my opinion its mostly that the first place team cleaned up and maybe shouldn’t be playing in there. Gotta love summer hockey.
