Rules in life - # 5

Always keep your head up!

This especially applies to skating with the puck.

In case you don't remember that theme look back at Scott Steven's Top 10 hits (with a new updated link) from the January 2006 section of this BLOG.

Player Profile - # 44 - Mike McGwan

Name: Mike McGawn
Position: Wing / C / Defense
#: 44
Why: That's what we gave him. I think he asked for #69 but I was 34 years old and could not allow that.
Nickname: Toe socks; giant yellow gloves; white helmet; Mikey.
How we know him: Went to Law School at CU with Adam.
One scout said: "The one-man penalty kill." He is a good skating, excellent defensive forward. Plays smart positionally and will chip in the occasional goal.
Game reminds you of: P.J Axelsson - LW - Boston Bruins.
Best line on the ice: "I suck c&ck!" - after missing a wide-open net.
You may not have known: Mike is another one of those looney tri-athlete people.
Thanks for: Playing defense during the playoffs, always paying your fees early, and coming out for beers at least once per season despite having a baby at home.

Tribute to # 24 Terry O'Reilly

I am sure many of you remember the movie Happy Gilmore. They explain that Happy idolized Terry O'Reilly and always wore his jersey. If you have any connection to New England, you know what a sports legend he was / is in Boston. His number 24 is retired by the Bruins and few people realize that in 1977-78 he had 90 points and 211 pims. More importantly, he was 6-01 200 lbs. when he played, and unlike Inigo Montoya - he was left-handed.

But really he was known as the scariest player in the NHL when he played. AVS analyst Peter McNab, has referred to him as terrifying - and the link in the title will explain why.

"We" are still working on the video where he actually went into the stands during a game against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden and started beating ass on some fans. We will keep you posted but enjoy this in the meantime.

It was a dark moment in STEAMER history....

...when The Pimp admitted to E5 that he looks at him inappropriately in the post-game shower!

Even the subsequent therapy - with a goal tender, no less - left the young center a little beside himself!

The MVP..........

... of the Vegas trip, # 26 - Dieter Brock, also won the Milan Hejduk trophy (leading goal scorer) and led STEAMER in scoring, and penalty minutes for the Fall of 2006 with an impressive:
18 goals, 28 points, and 22 pims in 14 games.

Good work Harvey - way to score and spend time in the box!

Rules in life - # 4

When in doubt, pick up the one in front of you!
This especially applies to forwards in front of the net or cougars looking for some "relocation!"

The recognition we finally deserve!
