Frederick Stars Hockey

After riding the high of a fall session championship, Forrest seemed a little off throughout the winter and early spring, but there is no denying his stellar play for the last 3 games as he has allowed the woeful Stars to at least appear competitive. Not sure if it is steroids, a new girl, or perhaps seeing Coach Steve V eyeing the 10-12 year old goalie prospects that practice at the rink? Whatever it is, keep it up Forrest.

What the hell happened to the team that beat Capital punishment and then shut-out the Blues for the Fall championship? The effort of newly re-signed coach Wes Campbell aside, we all need to pick it up a notch or we will be relegated to "Thrasher" status with no respectability.

I personally plan on trying to improve my own production and not in the penalty minute department either. For those counting, through 4 games I have 4 goals and 7 penalties. It is a sad performance at best.

Okay, back to the war effort.

In a rare move last week the Stars signed on rookie wing
Salvatore Rowe. Going by the name of Sam, he spouts that his great bursts of speed can get him behind any Defense. However, while his speed is ok, his control or lack there of have a lot to be desired. At one point during the blues game we could have sworn he was passed out on the bench, although he claims he was just "re-lacing his skates".
He either bribed his way on the team with hotdogs and beer or maybe the Stars have found a quick moving forward that just needs time to develop.

Here is the latest bit of evidence that seems to point to Obama being evil (some say Antichrist):

The time between the day Hawaii became a state and the day Obama was born was:

61,689,600 seconds

Notice there are 3 groups of numbers, all beginning with the number 6. So that's 666.
If you add up the individual digits (6+1+6+8+9+6+0+0) you get 36... again, three six... 666.

Others have pointed out that Barack Hussein Obama has 18 letters. 18=3x6 again... three and six... that's 666.

Still others have pointed out that Obama's zip code in Chicago was 60606. Obviously three sixes.

But the real reason Obama is evil, I think, is because he'll never be able to stop the Yosemite Supervolcano from erupting.
No, wait... I said it wrong... He's evil because he's a politician. DUH!

Best. Hockey. Fight. Ever.

Today my hopes for one day being tapped to play in the NHL were sparked to life. Capitals web producer Brett Leonhardt was called up from the IT department to fill in as backup goalie for an injured Jose Theodore (hip flexor) until Hershey's Simeon Varlamov could get to the arena. Varlamov couldn't make it for the opening of the first period because the Bears were still in Texas. The Bears lost 3-0 to San Antonio Thursday and are scheduled to play in Houston Saturday at 8:35 PM.
At 6' 7", Leonhardt would have tied the record for the tallest goalie to ever play in the NHL. At 6' 2", 168 pounds, I would be the scrawniest player in the NHL. But I'm open to the opportunity despite my wiry composition.
Leonhardt had to sign an amateur tryout contract before game time. I, for one, would love to see the terms of such a contract.
Player gets zero compensation for any performance. Player understands it's likely he'll get pulverized if given the opportunity to take to the ice during game play...."

So here I am, NHL! Come and sign me!
