Alright guys. Standings are updated now, so we can at least see where each team stands before heading into the last week of the regular season. Still waiting to update stats, since I'm waiting on a score sheet from Dave.

seems after the two sweeps last night, Starleafs will be within 2 points of BLSH which means we need to makeup the two games from week one in our fight for the first round bye! given the holiday weekend, I suggest we play the two makeup games the first weekend in December 12/4. First round would be second weekend 12/11, and Championship 12/18. others' thoughts? Chris 11/21/2011 18:40
After talking about it last night with Brandon and Dave, we think it would be best to play our 2 games Dec 4th around 4:30 or 5, BEFORE the 7:00 playoff games that same day. Then have the finals on Dec 11th as scheduled. This way we're not pushing further into December, where if weather is a factor, we have to push the finals into January like last year. Pat 11/21/2011 19:04
Pushing the finals into January sounds better than us winning the first makeup game...then losing the 2nd game..and end up possibly playing 3 more games against a fresh team who is a lower seed. I'd rather concede 2nd place as opposed to doing that (and that's not fair either). Brandon 11/22/2011 04:41
I'm not playing into January so we have to figure out something that will make it work. We either play them Sunday night or on the 3rd or the 4th. It's too close to the holidays to keep pushing it back. Everytime we suggest a make up time you guys can't do it. So we need to look at an afternoon or a Saturday or something. Maybe an evening during the week? The season needs to end on Dec. 11th. Dennis 11/22/2011 19:02
What exactly would be wrong with playing the first three weeks of Dec? I think 5 games in one night might be a little tiring for both teams. If you don't want to play in January Brandon then don't. But something more reasonable has to be decided then putting out an ultimatum. If the team can reasonably field teams. Then maybe a Saturday morning. Also, Dave and I spoke about only having two seasons or so. Both of us like playing, really no matter what is going on. If you can play of field a team, then we'll keep trying to find those who want to play. Andrew 11/22/2011 20:52
I can play this Sunday night if we can get teams together. I'd really rather not have either team have the potential of having to play five games in one night much less the fourth that would automatically be required for star leafs. I see the point that weather could possibly push the championship to January but I also don't see how that's really a big deal. Just my thoughts. Andrew 11/22/2011 20:54
Oops... *just need to nail down dates for each season and then planning would be much easier. Brandon 11/23/2011 02:42
I want to play. I'm saying I can't play into January. What I want has nothing to do with it. I'm saying we need to think outside the box for these make up games. There are six other days of the week we could play and 24 hours in each of those days. I'm a very busy person and I can make it happen so I know most people can too. You just have to want to. So that's why I suggest the Saturday, Dec. 3rd for the 2 games. I'm not trying to drop an ultimatum. I know my team doesn't want to wait five more weeks for this season to wrap up. Brandon 11/23/2011 02:46
Dennis, I'm not playing in January. I've already told Dave if the next season starts that soon, I'm out. So do me a favor and just ask your team if they can do it on different day of the week. Chris 11/23/2011 18:28
I am with Brandon on this. We need to make up those games another day and not push the finals any later. Dave, Brandon and I talked about this Sunday night. We agreed playing further into December runs a higher risk of weather cancelation, and as it's closer to the holidays, being sensitive to guys spending time with families. Pat 11/23/2011 18:45
I'm only a bit player in this (because i am a bit player) but i would rather either play this Sunday, or push things back a week. Having said that, i'm okay with playing the makeup games Dec 3rd. That's me...if not enough on my team is okay with that, or can play that day, i dont know where to go from there. I really dont see the big deal either with pushing things back a week and having the finals played Dec 18th. Normally, weather in central Indiana is not outrageous in December. Brandon 11/25/2011 02:34
The big deal is I probably can't make it the 18th because it's my daughters 1st birthday party that weekend three hours away. I won't make it back to play. The next week is Christmas. Dennis 11/26/2011 08:33
I'm ok with playing early the 3rd. By early I mean before Noon. Andrew 11/28/2011 13:15
I am unavailable December third. Chris 11/29/2011 18:55
What's the status on the rest of the Starleafs for playing this Saturday? We should be able to at least field a team. Brandon 11/30/2011 04:58
hey Chris, text me what people are going to be able to show up on Sat. Bill 11/30/2011 10:43
Guys, I think there is a reasonable alternative to playing on saturday. Would StartLeafs and BLSH be alligned on playing just 1 game on Dec 4 at 6 pm to decide the seedings? The winner gets the bye and the loser plays HSH at 7 or 7:30 pm on the same night to begin the first round of the playoffs. The loser would then only be playing 1 extra game that night. In this case, the BLSH would have the most to lose since in the other format they could lose the first game and still have the opportunity to play 1 more game to secure the bye. That sounds like a good deal for the StarLeafs if you ask me, but the BLSH would have to agree to this. I think our team would allign. This allows the league to finish the season on Dec 11, which I and others seem to prefer. Thoughts? #45 11/30/2011 15:38
I like it bill Chris 11/30/2011 16:56
Although that cuts my chances for another shutout and another win to further the goalie wins in a season record, I'm on board for this plan. Let's do it and end this funny business Dennis 11/30/2011 17:10
Sounds fine w/ me. I'm trying to pull everyone together anyway. Should be ok w/ a make-shift team on Sunday. Brandon 12/01/2011 02:49
I'm fine with it... But just out of curiosity if you are only going to have a makeshift team on Sunday then what was the big deal with playing a different day. It probably would have helped you. Anyway, see you Sunday. #45 12/01/2011 14:47
then we will shot for the playoff round to be at 715pm this sunday. Dennis 12/04/2011 10:38
Make-up game at 6pm, right? Chris 12/04/2011 11:54
Yep. Rain or more rain, we'll be there #45 12/05/2011 08:01
great games last night. congrats to the starleafs. good luck to both teams in the finals next week. Dennis 12/05/2011 10:13
We wanted to know if BLSH were ok with starting at 7 on sunday? Andrew 12/05/2011 12:33
Thanks Dave. See y'all next weekend, way to go green! chris 12/07/2011 06:10
We should be fine with starting at 7pm this sunday. Looking forward to it chris 12/07/2011 06:13
Also, to Dave or Aaron, I was wondering if we could get the site up to date through the end of the reg season to see stats and what not Bill 12/07/2011 10:16
I'm confused. #45 left a blog on monday (12/5) that read "great games last night. congrats to the star leafs". On 12/4 I thought the 1 make-up game we were planning between BLSH and Star Leafs, and then the subsequent playoff games between Star Leafs and HSH, was forfeited by the Start Leafs because they couldn't field a team that day?? Chris texted me a message that I shouldn't show up. What's going on? Are the BLSH playing next week on Dec 11? Dennis 12/07/2011 10:46
Starleafs had to forfeit the 6 o'clock game because half the team was unable to make it at the 6 o'clock time frame. So that gave BLSH a free ticket to the championship. Since the start of the "playoffs" weren't scheduled until 7:30ish, we were able to field a team for those games to still fight for a shot. Bill 12/07/2011 11:28
Dennis, thanks for the clarification. With the site not being updated with scores/standings it was hard to follow what occurred. Aaron Biermann 12/08/2011 06:35
Chris, I've been wanting to do that a while, but I'm still waiting to get stats from Dave. It's hard to update when info isn't passed on, timely. I don't mind doing it, but I may have to pass this task on next season, since it's gets to difficult to try to update stuff 3 weeks later, when I finally get stats. Chris 12/09/2011 06:04
Ha. Yeah, I figured as much. My comment was more directed to Dave than to you. Especially for all the crap I got for losing (then finding) the stat sheet from week 3 or whenever. Aaron Biermann 12/10/2011 17:06
No worries. Might not be a bad idea for next season. He actually got me the stats tonight so I'll try to get it updated in the next few days. Andrew 01/06/2012 15:34

I should have medical clearance to play again at the end of the month. Had to have back surgery thanks to Bill. Andrew 01/10/2012 21:25
Holy smokes Steve, I'm glad to hear you'll be making a full recovery... Hopefully we can kick off a new season in the next month or two... #45 01/11/2012 20:01
Next season looks like a mid feb. start. aaron or me will post more info asap Andrew 01/22/2012 07:44
Not much site activity....let's play some hockey! Brandon 02/07/2012 04:53
