in regards to janos being in an nhl game, so is mike sam and a bunch of other ice blacks sorry vince. i wouldnt be surprised if most of them are actually from queenstown as they consistently produce the best hockey players in the country.
also i would like to have a direct comparison of janos to jordane to see whos a better player. unfortunately janos never played this year so we will never know.
the game should be an all star game, if they want a pure ice black trial then they can run  that at a later date.
who chose the team anyhow? are duncan and steve vlok in the team? if not why not?

I think it was Jeff who selected it, not too sure though. Makes the most sence if it is an ice black trial.

So basically, the solution to the ice debacle for 2010 is for Azzy to head up the night before this years final and knock up little Susie before Johnnie gets his mits on her, then we can have the final on Saturday night next season because none of the ChCh parents will want to send their kiddies to the rink where “that guy” hangs out and so the Alpine ice arena won’t be making any money from their ice disco anyway and may as well stick the hockey on then instead.

We have plenty of “those guys” lurkin around our public sessions. We don’t need anymore thanks.

NZblack ice – Saying the coach sent players out there to get edan,,,,,,, well dont think so buddy, they just had fresh legs. reading into that one a bit much, the only person that puts Edan on a pedistall like that is himself, no offence to Edan, good player he is but not enough to take away the objective of scoring

Maybe I was reading into that a bit too much but you have to admit bringing age into a situation like that was completely irrelevant.

Plod 16 – Refs didnt see, once the whistle was blown Edan cross checked a [b:2k7hizvx]15 year old[/b:2k7hizvx] in the back of the head putting him to the ice, he was not targeted at all by anyone. He just got what he gave less actually.

Ask anyone sitting in the crowd down that end

Haha. That post made me laugh.

Why bring age into this? I, for one think it’s absolutely ridiculous that you did. I’m sure Chris wasn’t thinking “F*** yeah this kid’s only 15! Easy target”. This was a small after the play tussle. From what we saw from the bench, someone approached him, probably started chirpin’, and took a crosscheck from Eaden. That was Stampedes 3rd line, I would not at all be surprised if the coach told the young guys (Connor and Dane were out on that shift with Braden Lee) to go rough Eaden up and get his head out of the game, maybe draw a penalty on him. Good idea to send your young boys out to do that when you have a guy like chris out there. But Chin Strap, FFS, why would you bring age into it as to suggest that Eaden is some kind of bully or goon because he crosschecked a younger player. I’m sure If it was Braden he crosschecked you wouldn’t of written that Eaden crosschecked a 20 something year old. The way you mentioned his age suggests you think he should have special treatment. If you play in a physical game, you are going to get hit/sticked/crosschecked whatever, regardless of age. Just my rant.

Connor Harrison is definitely one of the most skilled 15 year old player we have had in the league to date. I’ve known him for a few months and is a super nice kid so don’t think i’ve got something against him.
