weekend games

[wheels15]

Our Growl team made a the long trip to Pittsburgh over the weekend and played a crazy sex game schedule in less the 24 hours and came away with six wins that ended up being big wins after hearing the the Typhoon lost two close games to the Lunatics over the weekend. There is no need to put the scores up, use can look at the scores on the pro inline website, and for the most part the games were played pretty clean. Things got a little chippy at the end, but things happen in hockey, the games are over and everyone went home happy. I just wanted to say that as a player I enjoyed playing on the huge surface that the Phantoms play on, it helped with the speed factor that our team has. One last thing, I want to let anyone know who woesn't there that Sean Sullivan and John Pinheiro could have made the entire top 10 list on "sportscenter". The one on one moves and the show they put on throughout the weekend were just as much fun watching as it was coming back home with six wins.
Well that is my update from the weekend. OFF to start my long work week.
Look forward to seeing Mazer and company next weekend, should be two great games, and we missed you B. Katinsky this weekend, I had to play with Sean Sullivan all weekend, how bad does that suck, lol.



"You can't score, if you don't shoot"

[SpiderRat]

"crazy sex game schedule"??? Which league is that? This league is co-ed I hope?

Blah Blah Blah, Shoot the puck already

[GROWL]

im not sure what bobby is talking about here, but i certainly beats last years trip out there.

[SpeedDemon]

Haha, wow I don't remember that part but I suddenly feel very violated.

[TheSnake22]

i think i can speak for our defensemen and goaltenders, as they also feel quite violated... i am also quite positive that the goal pinheiro scored on saturday night defied all laws of gravity and inline hockey...

22

[wheels15]

my bad boys, I didn't mean sex trip, lol, but by the way no one wanted to leave me and jd's room, it kinda felt like one, lol.

"You can't score, if you don't shoot"

[GROWL]

it did get a little steamy when you were trying to cuddle with joey

[wheels15]

Hey there flynn, me cuddling wit Joey is one thing, but whatever happened b/w cat and fish is different. Besides, I needed to warm up Joey's catching hand for our games the next day. By the way, did Jimmy V ever get his money back from ya.

"You can't score, if you don't shoot"

[GROWL]

hahaha... who jimmy vivoni? i've been telling everyone what dead money he is. Everyone things i talked him into coming back to help us win again, completely untrue! Just wanted a little extra sepending money on road trips.

Vivona: All in
Flynner: Call
Vivona: OH @#$%

[wheels15]

Yea, and after Vivoni says oh $h!%, Meaty jumps out the trunk of his car wit a bat and cement boots.

"You can't score, if you don't shoot"

[GROWL]

Meaty??? speaking of dead money

[GROWL99]

I'm just setting Flynner up for a big buy-in tournament where I will take all his money one way or another, even if it means having to " make him an offer he can't refuse "LOL.

[SpeedDemon]

You guys need to look into this super cool program called AOL Instant Messenger!

[33]

how in the hell did you finally figure out how to get on here? i'm sorry richard, but i will no longer be posting on this board with this guy on here. if he talks half as much as he does in person no one else will be able to get a word in. just kidding my favorite new yorker (besides meaty of course). it's good to see you finally got some computer lessons. what did you trade an IT guy for some poor investment advice?

[wheels15]

I can tell you where Jimmy picked up his computer lessons. I am guessing that after Joey D got hit on at the cafe saturday because of how nice his laptop was, "fortunately Joey denied the mans request". Jimmy must have snuck back in there after we left and got a few lessons on how to turn it on and type, lol.
Just messin Jim, You know you are the only person who can have a decent conversation about boxing or ultimate fighting and actually knows what he is talking about.

"You can't score, if you don't shoot"

[Maskman]

Jimmy knows everything. Thats why he's the professor.

[imasieve30]

You know Beauchamp, you talk a lot of $h!t when your hiding behind a computer screen! And besides, that was a job offer, not a marriage proposel. Your jealousy did finally show later that night though huh?
Anyway, if I tried to give Jimmy V. computer lessons he'd probably chuck it out the window when he kept screaming "pass the puck!" and it didn't respond. :-P

[wheels15]

I'm guessing that was you Joe. LoL. Hey I don't care what it was, as long as you shot him down, lol. And let me end by quoting the infamous Jimmy Vivona in our game on saturday vs the inferno. Remember, a guy is heading in to get a lose puck and go in all alone on Joe D, and instead of Jimmy V skating out of his boots to chase the guy down, he yells "Joey, go get the puck". It had to be the best line I've ever heard in hockey. Jimmy's gonna kill me when he reads this

"You can't score, if you don't shoot"

[GROWL99]

Your worst nightmare, other than last years championship series, is now offically computer literate. I figure I should have you seeing a shrink in no time. I'm going to be on you like the many rolls you have on the back of your neck...lol. Let the posts begin!!! Oh, by the way, I hope your feeling better and hope to see you out there soon. Love ya, Jimmy V.

[GROWL99]

Unbelieveable, how can you bite the hand that is going to feed you this weekend, Bobby?. What can I expect from someone who has as few brain cells as Flynn has hairs on his dome..lol. I will forgive your transgressions Bobby, because I know you will make it up to me by backchecking for me. As for the play with me asking Joey D. to save me some energy by coming out to the blueline with full goalie equipment to beat that guy to the puck, instead of me having to exert myself by chasing him, I see nothing wrong it..lol

[33]

i see nothing wrong with that jimmy. the goalies are always complaining that they are not involved in the game enough then they bitch when we give them the opportunity. unreal.

[33]

thanks pal, it really means alot coming from you. you just may have a heckler in the stands saturday night. i may make the trip down to watch. this not playing is killing me.it was tough to watch last weekend.

[rhhof]

AMEN - or how bout Flynn starting a Growl forum on your website - or is his screen whited out from fixing the mistakes on the PIHA site - he was/and still is a blond, i mean bald, you know

[GROWL]

ouch stio... that's it im burning my rhhof shirt now.

[imasieve30]

Ying, they must be bitching pretty loud for you to hear them all the way down at the other end of the rink... ;-) lol

[GROWL99]

I appreciate your support in this, my fleet-footed friend. Here we are involving our goalies on one side of the rink, and still finding a way to cover the oppositions goalie, and still we have to deal with critisism. It's an unappreciated art, what we do out there...lol

[imasieve30]

...and is not to be confused with the art of back checking, which is really just more of an inconvenience.

[Maskman]

It is alot easier to use the line..." Jonny go get it"

[33]

agreed. covering the other goalie is tough, especially when they decide to pull him...then we have to skate.

[33]

you know how you goalies are. wow, you only played one tourney with me and you have me figured out. i must be easy to read. lol.

[wolves89]

amen!!

i'm not slow, i'm patient

[wolves89]

not as easy to read as Jimmy V. in poker...

i'm not slow, i'm patient

[imasieve30]

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that half your goals came on the power play... and we all know that goalies are far from rocket scientists. ;-)
Man, touch up offsides would probably end your career huh? lol

[33]

absolutely! me and a few others on this board.

[GROWL]

:raises hand:

[GROWL99]

As you know, I feel I am the victim of bad beats when I lose in hold-em. I believe the great Phil Helmuth said it best " if it wasn't for luck, I would win them all ".

[33]

i am going to publicly apologize to the growl organization for turning jimmy on to the world of hold 'em on a gong show of a trip to cincinatti for narch. actually you guys should probably be thanking me for all of the dead money he's thrown your way. i know jimmy...bad beats, all of them!!!

[GROWL]

I am very appreciative, it has been very lucrative for yours truly!

[GROWL99]

I think we should have one big tournament at the all-star game. I will make all my $ back in one weekend. I especially have some business to tend to with you Flynner. The cards you catch are so lucky, but it wall all even out soon. Maybe we can get Scott Miller, "Bliff" as Meaty calls him, to make a donation, as well. JD and Bobby B. are also welcome donators to any game that I play in.

[GROWL]

Sure we can have a tournament of all-stars, but then you arn't invited.

[extremes55]

hey jimmy - bad beats? dont talk to me about bad beats - pocket Ks against 4 7....4 7 always wins....what a joke steve is lol....hey flynn..im taking the next heads up match up...and if jimmy ever makes it to the final two, ill beat him

[extremes55]

haha flynn...im a rostered player now!

[SpiderRat]

If you recall Ying, I was the big winner during that Cincinnati hold'em game. If Jimmy V won anything, it was because of my tutoring. I reeled you suckers in like I was fishing in a barrel. Chumps.

Blah Blah Blah, Shoot the puck already

[GROWL]

Rob...

Doesnt vivoni have some nerve talking about bad beats? We both lost hands to steve that were legit bad beats, then he calls me with his pair of 3s and my pocket hooks beating him was a bad beat?

[GROWL]

i wouldnt take to much credit for teaching vivona his poker skills

[extremes55]

hes from new york - what do u expect - hes always right

[wolves89]

guilty... lol

i'm not slow, i'm patient

[GROWL99]

Roger, you are as dillusional as ever. It was me who was robbing Ying, Biff and Meaty. You were in the hotel room recovering from a sore neck, because of all the pucks that went by you that weekend...lol

[GROWL99]

Oh, Robby my boy. If I get you heads up, I am going to beat you worse than the opposing forwards have been...lol.

[wolves89]

jimmy, im going to drive out all star weekend just to steal your money in poker, god knows im no all star but the fact that you'll be paying for my gas money and hotel all seems to make it ok by me...

i'm not slow, i'm patient

[GROWL99]

It was one bad bluff on my part. I blame it on the long road trip and fatigue from my efforts on the rink. I can't wait to get a crack at you Flynner, as well as Billy K., Robby and Kalish. I will be deemed the supreme player after the next tournament. I promise you all. I only wish Roger Lee was here to donate to the Jimmy V. fund, as well

[GROWL99]

This is unreal, not only did I have Bobby B. to scold on here, but now, someone else who I hand feed pucks to has the nerve to chime in as well. On the next road trip, I'm going to have all your money, and you're going to be left eating the rolls off the table in the diner for nurishment.

[NJwerewolves12]

Jimmy V being mean no way he is Mr. NiceGuy hahaha

Doing the Cobra

[GROWL99]

They know I love them all, T.J.. By the way, good luck with your new team. I'm sure they are going to welcome you with open arms. They have a few guys that have some good skills, and their coaches care about the team, as they showed by benching a couple of their guys for not getting to the rink on time. I think you will be a huge help to them.

[NJwerewolves12]

Thanks Jimmy i Know they will welcome me with open arms. they seem like a Excellent Orgnization. They care about there players and wanna win. they will Open there arms to Myself and Joe Schmeltzer. The team has Class

Doing the Cobra

[TheSnake22]

thanks for the praise of our organization guys, we're trying to build a winning team, and we know tj and joe are a big step in the right direction... and as for this all star poker tournament, you better believe ill be wanting to represent the phantoms there too as well... see everyone next week...

[SpiderRat]

Ohhhh, so now it's go time!!! I'm the one you kept the games close. You're 8, I mean zero goals certainly wasn't helping any.

Blah Blah Blah, Shoot the puck already

[SpiderRat]

Why, why, why did anyone tell him about this message board!!!! You realize he is never going to stop right!!! Ying, this is all your fault!!!

Blah Blah Blah, Shoot the puck already

[33]

i thought we were safe because he didn't know how to turn his computer on, but i guess someone he's "connected" to taught him a little bit.

[GROWL99]

If you would please recall, I had a crucial goal in a 6-2 loss during garbage time of that forgettable tournament. My passes to someone who will remain nameless, "Ying" were being wasted like a garden salad vs cheeseburger choice buffet. As for keeping it close, unless you had something to do with the schedule of our games, which were pretty close together, I don't remember you having a Grant Fuhr like performance...lol..

[GROWL99]

I'll be sure to wear my Growl hat when we're in a hand together, Jake. That should get you to fold right away...lol

[NJwerewolves12]

hey if i were sitting across form Jimmy V in a poker game wiht a growl hat on i would deff fold right away

Doing the Cobra

[GROWL99]

My ass you would. I was wearing the whole friggin uniform when you slashed me like Jason from Friday the 13th, that first game of the season...lol

[NJwerewolves12]

hey man i had to gaurd one of the best players in the league. And it made u made and focused on my instead of the game no hard feeling ur still my boy blue

Doing the Cobra

[GROWL]

The Phantoms are very classy, perhaps with the exception of one guy who seemed to have his priorites out of order. Trying to prove a point to an organization that welcomed him (more then once) with open arms, when the rest of the hockey world shunned him. Running our top players when the score was 8-0 doesn't earn you credibility, just puts a huge bullseye on your back DB!

[GROWL99]

You did a great job that game. I have to admit, it certainly made me think a little, but what really had me going nuts was watching a rusty Bobby B. miss 5 open nets that night..lol

[GROWL99]

Valid point, I'm sure. You have to give that player credit though, in that, when there was retribution, he took it, and didn't say a word, and then when challenged, he was ready to go. Believe me, as one of the players that took the brunt of one of his runs, when I wasn't expecting it, I don't condone it, but it was nice to see our team stand up for one another, and that player stand up for himself. It's all part of the game.

[GROWL]

unfortunitely I just think the reasons he did it were a little misguided? he was passing threats along before the first puck ever dropped and after reflecting on it I find it very ignorant of him after how this organization has treated him over the past 4 years.

[33]

wow, i forgot about all of that drama. i wish i was there to see it and i'm sure my buddy will fill me in next weekend.

[NJwerewolves12]

yea i was abit suprised at that as well he never misses the net. Thats like u messing a pass up and not hitting the tape on someone's stick eh

Doing the Cobra

[wheels15]

See all this. I work all day, come home, and Jimmy V has 500 posts on here. I wanna know who told him about this forum, he's as happy as a fat kid in a candy store on here. Also, I have watched Jimmy play poker. He plays good pocket cards, like anyone else, but when it comes to the river, "he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat". Flynn, I am definately thinking about making the trip out the to game, either fri or sat. I want in on this big tourney. Is TJ really going out to Pittsburgh, they r a great organization, but thats a heck of a drive to get out there. Guess we'll see him in a few weeks at our rink. Also, anyone need any Narch or Torhs playes, I am looking to play this summer and need a team. So let me know.

"You can't score, if you don't shoot"

[GROWL99]

you should have said: as happy as Steve Yingling in a candy store. By the way, make the drive, and bring the donation paper, known as your money, for the Jimmy V. poker classic.

[33]

there we go again. so one dimensional...kind of like your hockey game.

[AFan99]

Jimmy, i think the closest roger kept those games was the opening face-off. 0-0

Paul

[wolves89]

bobby i got you covered for the summer narch and torhs... talked to Troho yesterday about you... you and johnny are with us for the summer games... also Statewars too

i'm not slow, i'm patient

[wolves89]

theres nothing one dimensional about never backchecking and picking up the 4th man even when hes not your guy!! haha, although i must say that i have never seen jimmy skate like he did at the Torhs Winter Cup, he was on fire, both on the rink and with his speeches...

i'm not slow, i'm patient

[wolves89]

damn, now im really pissed i couldnt get out there!! no one loves sticking up for teammates more then me and ray!! haha

i'm not slow, i'm patient

[wolves89]

hand feed pucks? if i wasnt a master of picking up pucks off of my skates and out of the air, then i would never put your passes in!! haha

i'm not slow, i'm patient

[wolves89]

if i was on the other team i would slash you too, you are the only one i would be able to catch haha

i'm not slow, i'm patient

[33]

yeah, that speech was monumental. i'm still chuckling.

[SpiderRat]

Hey hey hey....Now listen Grampa, let's see you play goal well when you have the likes of Ying and Jim V on your team. Talk about no back checking, defensive skills or any degree of comprehension of how inline hockey is played. Every time the opposing team crossed the center line, JV would head to the bench and then Ying would fall while skating backwards. I think in four games, I had 86 two on nones, and only let up four goals. As far as you are concerned, you haven't scored on me since the summer of 1999. I think it was late August, and it went in off of one of my defensemens skates.

Blah Blah Blah, Shoot the puck already

[33]

you let up 4 goals in the first minute in the one game and three of the goals were from the boards and the other one was from just inside th red line. i know, you were screened.

[AFan99]

Actually if you double check it was the center's fault for not checking to see if Roger was ready. Come to think of it i think it was Jimmy V who was the center.

Paul

[GROWL99]

I knew things were bad for us when we couldn't hit you in warmups. My goodness, gracious, I actually think pucks were going through you. I almost checked you for holes after Darrel Debartolo shot a slapshot from the boards that hit you in the chest, but still found it's way in the net. I will not take responsiblity for our poor showing. My job was to get the puck to our goal scorer, who we thought was Steve Yingling. If I would've known that "Biff" was going to be our most dangerous shooter, I think he scored 1 goal on 2 shots, which is 50%, I would've given it to him more..lol
