Well on top of the news that the Blues are undefeated in the post season, the folks at BBC Hockey central statistics finally added up the season totals, and have announced our very own Brian ‘Sweep’ McGinnis as the Art Ross trophy winner - presented to the leading scorer of the league.

Sweep finished the season declaring:
‘Boom - that’s a goal’ a total of 21 times
‘Oops i lost the puck but at least he scored ‘24 times’
‘I’m from Calgary’ - a total of 14,233 times

Our very own male model

Well the exhibition games have come to a close, and tonight the Blues will entertain the Golds in the first match of the Balmy Beach round-robin championship. (For those of you who are new to the internet, on the right side of the screen you will see the schedule of gametimes - if it says 6pm - that means 6pm/18:00hrs - 7pm=7pm/19:00hrs and so on…)

Word just came in that the last man to avoid the internet has now been on it. Someone’s getting a new VCR soon I bet….

Well, welcome to 2008, or more specifically, February of 2008…let’s jump to the most recent news, in the interest of time, I’m just going to cut to the highlights:

- Blues open the month with a 7-0 win over the greens

- Blues, hot on the heels of a big win, host the most magnificent italian feast the club has ever seen

- Some players from all teams (including some greens, who had just lost) came by to support the club, and the tremendous effort by all who helped out

- The Blues (who had just won 7-0) served up a terrific spread of canelloni, garlic bread, chicken parmesan and ceasar salad.

- PG was absent for yet another game (and missed a chance to celebrate a win over the greens)

- Emo wanted to know who won - well Emo, Blues won over the greens

- 7 different blues scored the goals in the game, although 3 of the different people were ronnie.

And that’s the news…..Thanks to all who helped out in getting the Friday event organized and pulled off smoothly, it was a great showing, and terrific evening.

Well the Blues dominated an aging green team last Friday - posting a 5-1 victory with only 2/3rds of a roster. To add insult, the additional week layoff means that the Blues have 14 days to celebrate the victory, while the greens have to wait the two weeks before getting a chance to spear anyone again.

In other news - mark down February 2nd on your calendar - Tickets are being confirmed this week, but it looks like Pittsburgh 2.0 is going to be that date. Similar to last year, although with better seating (section B20 for anyone wanting to look at a map) - there are currently 21 seats remaining, due to the limited time to sell out, I am not specifically holding on to any for anyone. A deposit of $150 is required to secure your spot. Final pricing will depend on your hotel arrangements - if you have 4 people in your room, it’s $265, $300 for 2 people in a room. Price will include bus travel, ticket to the game, and hotel. Best hockey trip of your life: priceless…

Once I have confirmed tickets in hand this week, I will be actively pushing to fill the seats, so don’t delay in getting your deposits in…
