For all my fellow beer leaguers out there...

Thought this was pretty cool....

This kid again, he's 10 now!

Rumor has it this kid turned his life around after getting some words of wisdom from a beer hockey player after a game.  Who doesn't think that is effective?  Anyway, Oliver Wahlstrom again!

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Shea Weber shot

Not 107 MPH, but pretty impressive!

Did a Steamer player make it onto Jeopardy?

Player Profiles - # 51 - Randy Ketchum

Name: Randy Ketchum
Position: Defensemen - or any stance that would somehow position his aging scrotum directly in front of an incoming shot!
Number: 51
Why?: Similar game to Brian Campbell – no; the number of days passed the expiration date of the condom in his wallet – maybe; a number that was available and he was ok with it since it adds to 6, his number growing up – most likely.

Nickname: Slim Shady (do to use of an M&Ms bag), Old Balls; and Nordic Track (for his skating stride). How we know him: Harken back to Avalanche glory days, Denver had just stolen the 'Dique from Quebec and the Camp boys bought a fan plan to watch the new team win Lord Stanley in it's first season. Sitting in the same section were a couple of hockey fanatics who were always sporting the coolest jerseys. Turns out these "Nutty brothers" would become mainstays on Steamer- although it took quite the prodding to coax them out of retirement.
Scouts said: "Never, and I mean NEVER, flashy, but always consistent. Always clears the puck, throws his body in front of all kinds of shots and passes, and gets physical (with men) when he needs to.  Will lay-out to block shots like few beer-leaguers you have ever seen.  He really keeps it simple and that is usually the best play." 
 Game reminds you of: Jay McKee – D – retired; the late Karlis Skrastins – D- Lokomotiv.

Best line on the ice: "Oh, ok, f#ck you!"
You may not have known:  Played on a State championship hockey team in high school.  Once donated his “Cheerleaders” hat to a young man looking for some valuable lessons about life.

Thanks for: Constantly saving the asses of our many forwards as they change lines while the other team is breaking out. Thanks for pre and post-game beers and being one of the nicest and funniest bastards ever to don a Steamer sweater.

He dresses sharp and can tickle the ivories?

Pretty dumb, but I found it amusing........

Perpetual wrong-ness

Rules in Life # 22 - Goalies are still crazy

Tell it like it is Bryz!

And you thought what happened to the North Dakota hat in the Steamer locker room was bad?!?!?

If you were not there for the incident with the Fighting Sioux hat, well.....never mind.  If you have read this blog, you know that completely tasteless and funny are not mutually exclusive.  

So, check out this crazy chowderhead.  I can't do the story justice, so please follow the links and read both the Dead Spin (thanks for the pic) and PuckDaddy coverage of this once in a lifetime (?) story.

Merry belated X-Mas...from the Blackhawks!

This is amusing......

Brilliant!

On HBO's 24/7 Rangers at Flyers show they film the Flyers at the Anthem-Booers.  Flyers coach Peter Laviolette gets pissed about what the narrator calls "The Refs being influenced by the home crowd in Montreal.  Wait, no way - that never happens! 
Anyway, Laviolette yells at the Refs "Typical Montreal.  This crap always happens in Montreal!"  Mad love to cheapgoalieggear.com for coming up with this t-shirt!

# 1 Star of the week!

Still not sure if this is the dumbest or coolest nickname in the NHL?  Regardless, Brad Marchand is a bad ass!

Top moments in Anthem-Booer history

Maybe your fans take stuff a bit too seriously?  At least Joe Ted made a save on someone!

WTF - is that you Turd Ferguson?

We recently had a right wing (who runs over female players, lives for post-game showers, and is probably our career leader in fights) miss a Sunday night game.  Now I am not saying who it is, but the next night the AVS were getting drubbed on TV and I looked up and saw the picture below - WTF?

Hossa from Kane goal!

Working for charity?

Just a reminder to think of others and be charitable during the holidays.  I love what we do in the Summer with the tournament, but I want to do this some time.


The Calgary Hitmen's charity event - The Teddy Bear toss.  Pretty sweet!  I guess they got 25,000!

Not the former STEAMER player........or is it?
