| Welcome to week 2 of our season and week 1 of the Prediction Pool. Rules were posted last week so check Prediction Pool Week 1 if you need a refresher. Basically you pick the games, cost is $20 for the season, winner gets our money.
Stars (1-0) vs Lions (1-0)
Ever hear the expression everything old is new again. Well, here we go with the reigning, two time, Art Ross winner Haverstock taking the lead in the first week with a 1 goal 3 assist night and perennial 20 goal scorer Ryan grabbing 2 goals and an apple. Corkill and Myrick were the other goal scorers for the Stars and single assists went to Billard, Bright and Clark. Every year the Stars are known to take their guys, no one really cared about winning thus they have never won a championship in their history. This season they decided talent was of the upmost importance and if week one is any indication, then look out HRHL, there is a new team in town and they are coming for the Lions championship trophy. Stars Rookie Watch – Billard is the Stars lone rookie and seems like a steal in the sixth round. He managed an assist in his debut. The Lions started the season right where they left off last year, winning. Tracey has waited patiently for years to get put on a top line and his wish finally came true. He also proved he belonged by leading the Lions with 2 goals. Sto, Bent and Munden each had a goal and an assist and single assists went to Hartnett, MacDonald, McNeil, Mitchell, Taiani and Walshy. Speaking of Walshy there is a $25 league fine for not having a team jersey payable to VP Longaphy. He will collect the money throughout the season and the league executive will have a meeting at our friend Angie’s place to decide what charity the money will go to, Peelers with a thing for old guys is the leading option right now. Lions Rookie Watch – Lions hate the unknown, so they didn’t draft any rooks this year. Two teams here that won their debut matches, it seems a shame one of them will just be a mediocre .500 team after this week.
Stars 5 – Lions 3
Wolfpack (0-0-1) vs Oilers (0-1)
The Pack came in with so much fanfare this season and their exhibition game did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm, game one might have soured it a little. Strong scored the lone Pack goal with assists going to Curl and MacEachern. Logan was a bright spot for the Pack as he stopped 23 shots before the Pack registered their first. Pecarski and Pudge are the only team skaters who played summer hockey and they were both away for this one. I am going to chalk this slow start up to the first game jitters and the lack of ice time this season. I know the team we faced in the preseason is much better than the one that was out there Friday night. Captain Eddie is getting himself all married off next May and the team party/Bachelor party is rumoured to be taking place in Vegas. As the former owner and still 49 percent shareholder you can count me in. Wolfpack Rookie Watch – Justin LeBlanc is the lone Pack rookie, no points in his debut, might be asked to play some D this year and he did skate backwards once, so he is extremely qualified. The Oilers struggled to score which should be expected when two of their top 4 draft spots were D. Gallant scored the lone Oilers goal and Skinny had the only assist. It is going to take a few weeks to adjust from being a defensive D to an offensive D but if that is what is needed then it will be done. Oilers Rookie Watch – Half of the league’s rookies were drafted by the Oilers, just goes to show you how shitty the Oilers management team thinks all you vets are. LaPointe was the only rookie who played, and he was held pointless. The other three should make their debuts this week so we will hold off on any judgement on the team until we see the whole team. Of note there is a big challenge this season with LaPointe and Teen Wolf for point supremacy. Tied 0-0 right now, I will update when/if one of them manages a point.
Oilers 4 – Wolfpack 2
Flames (1-0) vs Jets (0-1)
The Flames are in trouble, or at least that is what I was hearing from most analysts after draft night and after their exhibition game. Well let me tell you, they didn’t look like they were in trouble on Friday night. Flemming scored the Flames only regulation goal with Currie and Murph getting assists. Burgess buried the shoot out winner just like a teams number one pick should. You might wonder why they aren’t in trouble when they managed just the one regulation goal,. The answer is speed. With Flemming, Ross, Dempsey and Taylor in the lineup the Flames have 4 of the fittest dudes in the league and the new and improved Murphy is also a specimen these days. Chappy missed game one, but the silver fox looked to be in top shape when I last spotted him. This team is going to be miserable to play against all season. Coombs and Powell are both on the mend and looking for quick returns to the lineup. Flames Rookie Watch – Flemming scored one, bunt single if anyone is looking to pick up a ball player. Have you seen the Old Spice commercial where the fit as fuck dude goes by on a horse, that was the exact feeling I got when I saw Flemming arrive at the Centennial this week. I might have a new man crush, not Eddie and Josh man crush more of a man I wish I was fit like that man crush. Ritz scores every game, when his team wins, when his team loses, whenever, and he did in this one too. Parsons and Croke added helpers and the Jets looked a little lost out there. With the moniker of Greatest Show on Ice I expected a bit more. Although he isn’t a rookie Messervey is back after quite an absence. It surprised me to see his last season in the HRHL was the 2011-12 year when he was selected 5th overall by the Bruins. Time Flies, anyway, he missed week 1 as did Findlay so judgement on the Jets will have to wait a bit too. Jets Rookie Watch – Proctor is the only rookie on the jets and it looked like he had a pretty solid game, until I talked to him on Saturday and he said the first three times he touched the puck it ended up in his own net. I think he is exaggerating but he was a solid D all summer so look for better things as the season progresses.
Flames 2 – Jets 1
Side Notes:
I am a life long Patriots hater but since Brady has been gone I they have been irrelevant so no reason to hate on them. That is until yesterday when they beat Cincy and I along with 13 other went out in week one of the Survival pool. Guess what, the hatred is still there and back at the forefront.
My Steelers still can’t score but will still finish above 500 because they can play D. Maybe the Oilers need to take solace in that fact.
I have had dozens of guys ask about getting a spot in the 45 and over league. I don’t have anything to do the league, just a player in it. I would love to get 2 good hours of ice time a week and start a new 45 and over league but ice time is scare in Halifax and I don’t want to be at the rink till 11pm on a weeknight.
Seems there might be some kind of election going on in the States. Doesn’t it seem that every time they have an election that it is the “Most Important Election in their History”. Longo, Skinner, Walshy and I are going to be in Nashville the day after this election, hope there isn’t a civil war, might be a gun or two down there belonging to a pissed of loser.
Made pulled pork yesterday, might be the new go to for the Super Bowl party, so easy and fuck it is good. Joe Burrow is my new favorite football player despite the survival disaster yesterday. Why you might ask, not because he is a Bengal, as a Steelers fan it is my duty to hate those guys? He suggested they just go to the 18 game schedule, add a buy week and have the big game on the Sunday before President’s day so everyone is off on Monday. Since that is also a holiday here, I think that is the best idea I have heard in a while.
Baseball playoffs are right around the corner, love baseball playoffs. Better when the Jays are in but still love them. No good NL races for the division but the wildcard is tight. Braves and Mets tied for the last spot right now but 4 teams within 2 games and only 3 spots, should be fun down the stretch. Yanks and Orioles will fight till the end for the AL East title but the loser will still get in. Dodgers look like the team to beat but we all have seen that before.
I am on vacation for three weeks so if this write up is late you know why, better things to do. Have a great season guys, looking forward to Vegas with Eddie.

| We are off and running. Or skating.
One whole week is now in the books as far as the 2024-2025 HRHL beer league season goes and Week 1’s icy assortment of skates didn’t disappoint in the least. While a few guys, including a couple of goalers, will only make their season debuts in Week 2, almost all of the league’s stars (both new and returning) were out and shining bright last Friday night as Stewtennial arena’s finest got hard back at again. The fans in the stands were nonetheless entertained by more than just Buds, Silver Bullets, and Masala Magic chips.
Last Friday night saw the dazzled (drunken?) denizens of Fairview treated to three great games to begin the year, including a shootout in the season’s initial contest, and a fair number of goals across the board. Aside from that chance-filled, but low-scoring, 2-1 shootout win in the year’s first game, goals weren’t that hard to come by, with two 5-1 results to complete the night. That said, it was a bit of a contrast to last year’s opening weekend as far as scoring rates go.
For you house league mathletes, we’re averaging 5 goals a game after Week 1 in 2024-25, which is definitely down from last year’s goal-fest-a-palooza numbers (27 total snipes for 9.00 goals per game after 3 games), but still pretty reasonable. A dive into recent league history shows this is the fewest number of goals scored in an opening week for quite some time. In addition to the 27 scored last year, Week 1 of the weird COVID-y 2020-21 season, saw 30 lamps lit. This year’s output also fell shy of each of the 2019-20 (19 Week 1 goals), 2021-22 (24 Week 1 goals), and 2022-23 (23 Week 1 goals) seasons. It’ll be interesting to see if the trend continues or if the league’s firepower kicks in sooner rather than later.
As is almost always the case, some teams find themselves looking to course correct after their initial regular season skate of the season. Some squads’ early season messaging and tactical approaches have struck a chord with the guys in the room, with (almost) everyone singing from the same songbook, while other groups find themselves between a (hard) rock and a hard place. As such, it only makes sense to pick a song by 1980’s / early 1990’s hard rock legends The Cult to describe where each HRHL franchise might feel they are after one week of games.
The season is underway. The prediction pool starts for real now. Everyone is amped up. Time to see who ends up lucky on Friday the 13th. On to the games…
Stars (1-0-0 / 2 points / 5GF/1GA / +4 1st place tie)
vs
Lions (1-0-0 / 2 points / 5GF/1GA / +4 1st place tie)
What a treat! The early game here in Week 2 features two of last week’s as-of-now undefeated, winning clubs, who also happen to be the top two regular season finishers from last year. And one of those two clubs is also the reigning HRHL champ.
The blue-shirted Stars are on a mission. Locked and loaded. They have a tonne of fire power and are looking to unseat the Lions at the top of the HRHL pecking order. This one could be a war, and each of the Shinty Brights sees himself as a “Soldier Blue” in a killing mood:
“Well, soldier blue, soldier fright
He's gonna bust up everything in sight
A real heavy dude in a killing mood
Pack your bags or you'll be through, you'll be through, yeah
He's guaranteed to shatter all your dreams
His mind's exploded, ego's overloaded
Hey children, start-a-runnin', yeah”
The defending champion Lions having been running wild on and rolling over the league for over a year now. Based on last week’s result that may not stop any time soon. This week’s clash with Stars will give the rest of the HRHL a bit better sense of whether or not Tim and Marty’s “Wild Hearted Son(s)” in black can be tamed:
“I'm a wild hearted son
I'm comin' down like a rolling stone
Wild hearted son, yeah
I'm a wild hearted son
Hey mama, the world didn't want me to run
Wild hearted son”
Stars 4 – Lions 3
Wolfpack (0-0-1 / 1 point / 1GF/2GA / -1 / 4th place)
vs
Oilers (0-1-0 / 0 points / 1GF/ 5GA / -4 / 5th place tie)
This week’s sandwich skate see two squads looking for their first wins of the year going head-to-head. It’s also the first time current Commish / Pack Legend Webber takes on his beloved gang of greens while wearing Oiler orange.
The Pack were disappointed with the result of the first game of the year and know they can – and will – be better moving forward. After the draft, and a solid exhibition showing, they were feeling pretty good about their chances to make some playoff noise this year, but Week 1 showed there are still a few things for Captains Ed(d)ie and Josh to iron out. The Pack’s dream of a perfect season is over, but there’s plenty of time to re-group. Their song is clearly “Ed(d)ie (Ciao baby)”:
“The dogs lay at your feet, Edie
Oh, we caressed you cheek
Oh, stars wrapped in your hair, Edie
Life without a care
But you’re not there
Oh, caught up in an endless scene
Yeah, paradise a shattered dream”
The Oilers initial skate showed they still have some work to do to figure out their best configuration to maximize scoring. No doubt getting their full squad on ice, including hotshot rookie auteur Huebert and RVH specialist Theurkauf, will help. One thing is absolutely true, between Veinot, Bent and Turple, Skinner’s Winners have three guys who can shoot the puck pretty darn well. Each of those VeinBros has the ability to terrorize the HRHL’s goalies and turn a puck into a “(g)Love Removal Machine” with the flick of a wrist:
“(Talkin' bout love) Love removal
(Talkin' 'bout love) Love removal machine
(Talkin' 'bout love) Gimme love, soul stealer
(Talkin' 'bout love) Love removal machine
(Talkin' 'bout love) Gimme love
(Talkin' 'bout love) Love removal machine
(Talkin' 'bout love) Gimme love, fun remover
(Talkin' 'bout love) Love removal machine”
Lions 4 – Jets 3
Flames (1-0-0 / 2 points / 2GF/1GA / +1 / 3rd place)
vs
Jets (0-1-0 / 0 points / 1GF/ 5GA / -4 / 5th place tie)
The West-Coaster this week pits a Murphy-Kerrs squad looking to build on a shootout win last week against a Croke-a-Duke bunch looking to rebound from a disappointing result.
The Flames, even though missing a bunch of keys guys due to injury (Coombs, Powell) or travel (Chappy), nonetheless came out firing on all cylinders, using a blitzkrieg of lightning speed to forecheck the heck out of their opponents. That sort of energy is infectious on the bench and a real issue for opposing squads. Tell your wives and/or girlfriends: the Red Hots are on “Fire, Woman”:
“Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire, yeah
Smoke on the horizon, well
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Oh, smokestack lightning
Smokestack lightning”
The Jets were also missing a couple key guys, including legit Vezina candidate Findlay, and a highly anticipated pseudo-rookie in Messervey. Jets management still believes and knows that things can change from week to week in the crazy world of HRHL hockey. As much as one week’s result can be a disappointment, you’re only ever a week away from possible redemption. Things change the world turns. You can’t let things keep you down. The Jets might try listening to “She Sells Sanctuary” on repeat:
“And the world, the world turns around
And the world and the world, the world drags me down
And the world and the world and the world, the world turns around
And the world and the world and the world and the world
And the world drags me down”
Flames 4 – Jets 3

| Weekly 3 stars……..
3. Flemming , the young hotshot rookie on the flames was an unknown at the draft. I heard he’s a second round guy, third rounder and as good as Chappy . I think he looks like a top end guy to me so I guess like a Chappy. Long and lanky guy has a Bundl quality to him. Flames got a steal there.
2. Sugar Shane Tracey , scored two in the win for the lions last week and anchored the top line. He told me at the draft in a Punjabi language bout time he’s with Desi and Jared . This guy can score , pass win a couple draws do it all. The lions have a good one here in Tracey
1. Ingraham, I’ve played with Glenn for many years and never have I seen him so ready to play as this year. 31 saves in the west coast game including several beauties on Venoit . This guy has a burr up his ass about being drafted in the twilight rounds and his play will prove the haters wrong. Nothing better than a fired up motivated goalie to lead his team . Go Glen go!!

| Notes……..
Stars told the oilers to give it the old hawk tuah and spit on that thing. Definitely a one sided beat down
- transgenders aren’t what they used to be.
- leafs sign Max Pacipretty to a PTO
Sorry but he hasn’t had a full season in 8 years. At 36 he can’t give you much
- Flames looked good to me in game one. The prognosticators had them missing the dance. They gave a ton of talent in that room
- Dempsey and priest both returned after a year off finding themselves. They both looked great flying all around the ice. Flames love former stars legends
- getting to thr roundabout from herring cove road takes about a half an hour now ….. Fuck
- Billard has a gas tank like an F150
A pleasant surprise if I do say so. Glad Tony and I put the work in and watched him at pick up
- jets looked so so . Not horrible
Not good
- pack are better for sure , I can’t wait to see the 10 and 3 night awesome
- oilers did great holding their composure in game 1. Barely any penalties and no misconducts, well done guys
- this rookie class looks pretty decent
Flemming looks slick , Billard great
The best Leblanc looks like he’s d number 4
We’ll see.
Can’t wait to see the rest of the newbies this week.
- not saying bobs lying about 45 and over with his involvement . I’m in the team and were Called Bobby Lee Webber and the boys
soooooo…….
- water was hot in showers after the game and we had the packs room. Josh and Eddie were still rubbing each other down with the loofas when we went on ice
- the bengals decimated the siurvivor pool
- stars will sell a lot of beer this year , always a bonus
- I like the coldstream beer
- I like big butts and I cannot lie
- try the munchies chips available at Sobeys spryfield 6 flavours
Guys of my age will re my never these little characters
When you got the munchies and nothing else will do hostess potato chips
- l celebrated my 25 years anniversary at work the other day. Man I sure as fuck never thought I’d be here that long!

| Notes cont…..
Correction guys my age will remember the munchies
- imagine your pitcher is shelling and dealing a not hitter through 8 complete . But you end up losing 6-2 that’s the blue jays way
That fuckin bullpen is awful. I think venoit and turple could round some local boys up and give them a game. They gotta revamp the pen with about 6 guys.
- Tyrell hill gets arrested , he’s lucky he wasn’t killed. Heard the audio and he was being a dick but so was that cop.
Funniest part when the cop stays why you crying?
Stop cryin?
- what in the fuck was he driving the Delorian ?
- we gotta get rid of these fuckin pictures you gotta pick to post something
I get them wrong 75% of the time
- speaking of percentages, the stars centers Haverstock, Corkill and pinch hitter Ryan won 91% of the draws vs the oilers .
- when on ice with haverstock be ready if you’re open he’s finding g you. Crazy hockey sense out there
-the money these QBs get is fucked
Dak Prescott getting how much
Wtf?
- Kendrick Lamar at Super Bowl????
I’ll pass I’ll drink some more

Voyeur a movie I watched the other day
A fuckin rocket.
-I hate the fact that it’s 8:00 and pitch fuckin dark out
Drink of the week…..- I played this summer with the Stewtennials and a couple of the more feminine guys introduced me to these

| Notes:
1. What a terrible 3 games last Friday. I can’t think of a worst 3 games being played in the HRHL over the past 15 years
2. Shout out to Darren MacQueen for letting me know about Francis taking a no-hitter into the 9th inning yesterday. I proceed to flick it on, and immediately see Lindor hit a bomb. Hilarious. I guess I kind of deserve that.
3. League’s best goalie returns this week. Should be Awesome.
4. I received a text earlier this week stating that Auston Matthews was the 3rd best player in the NHL behind McDavid and Mackinnon. I laughed for a very long time. Can we please get through a round of playoffs before stating such an absolutely Absurd Take.
5. Did Dan Fougere play last week? I can’t find any evidence of it.
6. Survivor Pools are such a great fucking time. They are so much fun. I believe this is the third time I have been eliminated in week 1. Fun Times
7. Check out “Rebel Ridge” on Netflix. Pretty cool movie. Similar Premise to Rambo: First Blood, but with less violence. But still extremely good movie.
8. I am so nervous for tis upcoming NHL Season. The Edmonton Oilers are going to be so tuff to beat. I think Colorado or Dallas are going to have to knock them off or its going to be a shitty June. I feel like throwing up every time I think about it.
9. The Greatest Show On Ice promises their fans that they will show up this week. I feel bad for their opponents.
10. Dolphins 2-0 start again this year!!! Fuck, I loves It.
11. I second TMoney’s take on War Pigs by T-Pain. Outstanding. I would like to point out that Chris Cornell’s cover of War Pigs is better, but T-Pain’s version is absolute Sickness.
LEGEND:
WOLFPACK = PUSSYPACK
FLAMES = THE PYLONS
LIONS = THE SOUP CANS
STARS = THE ASS HATS
OILERS = TEAM SHIT
JETS = THE GREATEST SHOW ON ICE
The Ass Hats vs The Soup Cans
Sorry guys, the schedule maker didn’t do us any favours with this game. If I were you, I would try and stay home later than usual. I know you guys like to get out as early as possible on Friday’s, but you honestly don’t want to watch these 2 teams try to play the sport you love. Anyways, they both got surprise victories last week, with some unusually great performances by certain guys. I like the Ass Hats to win a close shitty affair in the early game.
The Ass Hats 3 – The Soup Cans 2
PussyPack vs Team Shit
Well, another fucking stinker. Jesus. Can we get a good game or What? Anyways, these 2 teams are coming off devastating losses last week, but apparently we need a winner. Look for Team Shit to take this one.
PussyPack 3 – Team Shit 4
The Pylons vs The Greatest Show On Ice
So, what an absolute beat down we have coming in the west coast game. The Pylons are coming off an early victory and the GSOI are coming off an inexcusable loss to The Soup Cans. The Greatest Show On Ice turn things around this week, and dominate.
The Pylons 0 – The Greatest Show On Ice 14

| Stars /lions…….expect some offense in this one as this game features10 of the top 11 scorers in the league. But its team defense prevails as the injury riddled stars rise up and win 4-2 over the defending champs. Perry with a pair , haverstock and longo round out the scoring. Glen solid again with 25 saves.
Oilers /pack ……… two teams coming off losses last week means they hit the drawing board for new strategy. I think the oilers will be more prepared this week and they win 7-5 over the pack. Venoit and bent bulge the twine twice and skinner, turple and rookie Martin LaPointe scores his first. Webber adds four assists and Therakauf gets the win in his official oilers debut.
Jets/Flames…….. after being destroyed last week the jets will rise up and win 6-4 over the flames. Speedy demon Messervey returns after 34 ten minute misconducts and 12 years to score a pair in the win. Ritz, Parsons, Macqueen and States all score in the win. Findley makes his debut a good one in the west coaster.

| Afternoon kids,
First someone tell Parsehole the difference between worse and worst. Then someone break the new that the Dolphins are who we thought they were.
Another great season of the HRHL is underway and I for one am loving the message board so far. I would prefer to get the Prediction Guy's message on an e-book so I can listen to it in the car, but for now I will continue to book off an evening away from my family to read it.
So you all know, Parsehole is coming off a mid-life crisis that saw him stop posting on the board for a few years and we are glad he is back. He may sound angry, opinionated, and he might even offend you sometimes but if he does that is likely your fault for not being able to take laugh at yourself. He is really a big teddy bear who loves all and spreads positive vibes throughout the land.
T-Money is another posting legend. He figured out caps lock a few years back and now that he doesn't yell all of his messages they are rife with humour, great observations, bad spelling, typos and gramatical freedoms.
I have been in this league for 30 years and love it. If you decide to hang out to watch games, talk to folks you don't know yet, and maybe have a beer, you will find that we only accept the best people and you will have a blast. Even the dick who slashed you is probably a pretty good fella.
Finally,
The refs will make many mistakes this year and you will get pissed off I am sure. Remember not to make an ass of yourself. The quality of refs in this league is directly related to the quality of players in the league. If you never fuck up then have at it. If you have ever made a mistake then shut the fuck up and just play.

| Funny that I made multiple mistakes as I tease Timmy about his.
The Stars looked pretty slick in week one. The Lions looked half decent. Week One often means nothing as guys get in shape and teams gel. That said, I think the Stars speed and tenacity will rise above.
Stars win.
The Pack have a solid leadership group and have some talent. Looked a bit like one of those teams that just need to play together a bit to make noise. My former squad is solid as fuck on D and has a hard working forward group. A little worried that I was told the "NO GOAL" for Bent that went in the center of the net was the reason he stopped being effective. I hope one early play doesn't derail my alma matter every week.
I am looking at an Oilers win in this one i think.
The FLames are FAST. Dempsey looked like the fella who lead Cunard Jr High all those years ago. If Kevin O'CArroll, Nicky Trim or Billy Fripps show up on this team it could be a championship squad! Not sure who finishes for them as constructed but hopeful for them. THe Jets sucked balls week one, but they have a solid lineup for sure. I think Messervey goes off tonight and all the panic goes away.
Jets win.
This league always goes down to the last few weeks. There are no wasted points boys so fight for each inch of ice, shake hands and have a beer in the stands.
HRHL forever kids!
