Steamers Hockey

The Steamers repeated as division champs for the 2010-2011 season by taking the long road. After dropping the first game of the playoffs and getting sent to the loser’s bracket, the Steamers pulled off five straight wins, four of which were by a single goal, and one in overtime. The final two games against the Hudson Fire were won in front of a hostile crowd and we took the trophy home. And Hudson Fire fans, just in case you were wondering, yelling at the opposing goalie every time he touches the puck just motivates him. How’d that work out for ya? See game footage for details.

In other news, JT just edged out Gordo for the team lead in penalty minutes. Good job, rookie.

The Steamers grabbed the President’s Trophy and the number one seed in the playoffs following a 7-0-2 run to end the season. And JT still leads the team in penalty minutes. Playoffs start Monday night. Get your tickets early.

And did it with a .500 record by beating the Iceholes 3-1. Who knew we could get hot in the playoffs? Stats have been updated for the entire season. To celebrate, I give you yet another Hayden Panettiere kissing the Stanley Cup picture as well as Illustrated Whaler Girl (by Rob Ullman – robullman.com – go buy his books). Neither of the girls are happy with Russ for breaking the trophy ten minutes after getting our hands on it, but I guess we’ll take what we can get…

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.

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.

According to our esteemed Captain, with our 4-2 win over the Turtles on Monday, we sewed up the tie breaker and made the playoffs. Guys named Steve never botch the math, so I am assuming this is a lock.

Monday night is the final game of the summer regular season. It’s early (8:20) and there will be grilled meats in the parking lot after, so come on out and wear your pink hats for big happy fan fun time.

In celebration of making our last regular season game meaningless, I give you Hailey, who brings meaning to the world by wearing a Hartford Whalers jersey. Best. Jersey. Ever.

When hockey players lose two straight playoff games and are ousted into an early offseason break, they go play golf. And so, to ease the pain, I give you Natalie Gulbis.

See you in six weeks.

… and Lindsay Lohan will be there. I guess she is excited about seeing our rematch against the first place Badenovs. It should be quite an adventure. Russ is a healthy scratch (or unhealthy depending on how much Mexican water he’s consumed by now), but everybody else should be there.

In less exciting news, there are a bunch of new stats posted on the site, so take a look around and see if you can figure out who’s getting cut next season (cough… goalie… cough…)

The Steamers managed to lock up at least fourth place in their division, along with a playoff spot, by beating the Rampage 4-2 last Monday. And for once, I didn’t give up any goals in the third period. Really, what else could you ask for? Since the answer to that question is obvious, I posted another picture of Hayden Panettiere hugging the Stanley Cup. I heard she will hug me too if we win a few playoff games.

Wow. In celebration of our Frozen Four victory last night, I figured I’d post this ridiculously hot picture of Hayden Panettiere licking the Stanley Cup. Word is she will be licking the winners of our game next week, so that is some motivation for you.

We beat the Milford Fire last night 4-3. During the first two periods we pretty much smoked em like phillly blunts and were up 3-0, even though they were skating with 14 guys and we were only skating with 10 guys. Per usual, after that, we slowed down some, and let them back into the game.

A big thank you goes out to the guys who decided to start throwing punches with 24 seconds left. In our league, the clock runs during an altercation, so instead of a faceoff right in front of me with an extra skater, the clock ran out on them while one of their guys was trying to de-jersey Ken. Whatever, it’s a win against a rival team, and we were very pleased with ourselves.

Kudos to the fans that came out. And the goalie’s wife deserves extra credit for coming out and watching me almost botch it.

And kudos to Russ. For the first time ever, Eric had nothing to say about him except that “Russ did everything right tonight and will be allowed back next season.” Russ scored a goal, did not trip over the blue line, brought 36 cans of PBR to the game, and actually stayed to completely drink a few after. Good show.

Next game is Monday night at 8:50pm. I haven’t heard who won the other Frozen Four game, so I don’t know who we’re playing yet.
