To paraphrase the joker “Why [does everthing have to be] so serious?”
I thought if I hypothesised some ridiculous excuse for a loss, the real analysts amongst us would come out of the woodwork and give some real reasons.
I though one of the major differences was the contrasting D-zones. As my Granddad (who has never watched a game of ice hockey before) said whenever you were shooting on their goalie he had a whole bunch of his team mates helping him out, whereas the Thunder goalie was left by himself making it hard.
Also Thunder showed signs of panic a lot getting rid of the puck more quickly then required.
Also I am not sure why the officials deemed it necessary to tackle the thunder players so often? Mike Ceelan took out our Dman in the first period, and Paul Scott got Damo quite good in the 3rd. Perhaps I haven’t read my rulebook lately but I don’t think that’s how you officiate a game.
Also most of the crowd I have talked to asked me if their will be a fight every game, because they loved it….I myself felt it was poorly timed on Thunders behalf, as we were making good progress when it happened, and that 5 mins of 3-3 didn’t really help us.
Azzy77Moderatorthis has potential for awesome, epecially bit charging out changing room, could go to face off, the shot or something and then a gol is scored, at which point stick is launched and wide angle shot shows players celebrating
Azzy77ModeratorWord on the street is the cops caught them. Cos Frenchie had some shoes stolen and i think he got them back
Azzy77ModeratorWell I hope this young Nick Gloag takes the role of head of Stats as seriously as Aston.
What stampede have gained in a great goalie, they have lost in one of the finest exponents of hockey statistics in the National league today, second perhaps only to me.I mean I would go on 60 minutes to tell my tale, but I am afraid with all his fame aston might not acknowledge that he once knew me.

I am going to bring this topic back on track, by posting this audioclip that I haven’t actually listened to yet (due to no web audio capabilities on work comp)
I assume its worth listening too, but like I said I haven’t listened so I can’t commentAzzy77ModeratorIf we start having problems due to us getting enough people to warrant visit fire inspector, we would be pretty stoked I think.
Its better than having so few people that we have to deal with tumbleweed inspector
Azzy77ModeratorWell I believe the seating caters for like (just estimates) bottom stands (200+200)? and maybe 1200 in the balcony….so thats like 1600
I would imagine that the general populous is not getting into the big empty balcony, its probably reserved for sponsors or corporates, if it is used at all during games, it requires extra staff to be put on. You could probably put another 200 up there.Azzy77ModeratorI think you misunderstand that was Thirteens counting skill, not actual crowd figures.

[/quote:24ubcce5]We let Thirteen count the crowds last year….it made us feel better about ourselves.
1,2,3,50,26,3000,400
Hey guys there are over 400 people out there.
Azzy77ModeratorIts a good thing there is money exchanged in these score predictions, seeing as there are at least two stripy tops, and potentially one penalty box attendant here.
Otherwise Gunther might have a scandal like the NBA had a couple of years ago on his hands.
Yeah I agree with Vpatrol on this one, you can support one team but think another will win. Its Heart vs Head.
Azzy77ModeratorPrivate residence….I not big fan of terrave anymore since, they booted my mates out for not ordering drink to watch olympics, because they were waiting for me to arrive.
They were sitting there for 5 mins max, before they got askd to leave in the middle of the day?Besides private residence is cheaper….
Azzy77ModeratorI have edited the poll so now you can pick 2 options.
I also changed it so those of you that have already voted can pick a secondAzzy77ModeratorYeah Router was sporting a fine beard.
Yeah I think both teams were at fairly full strength, Dunedin lost Damien Watson in the 1 st period, so required so tweaks to the lines.I think all four goalies played pretty well. There was some epic saves being pulled all over the place.
I had trouble making it to the changing room, with all the fans crowding the door looking for autographs…
This does certainly bode well for a tight season.
Azzy77ModeratorYeah, and I am not sure of the merits of buying cheap crappy mouthguards as opposed to expensive yet great mouthguards, based on your inability to remember you have taken it out of your mouth.
The same logic should dicatate you buying only $100 cars Thirteen seeing as every car you have you crash so instead of losing $10000 you lose $100
Azzy77ModeratorYeah all you guys complaining about mouth guards probably wearing the $5 model from the warehouse right.
Well if you invest a bit of cash (and I admit they are expensivish) you can pick up a properly fitted mouthguard from a dentist, and you can talk and you can breathe and it feels just like you not wearing one at all.
