Machine Parent, I guess your not going to address my last post. But I will address yours. First of all any team would like a Bob Probert on their team. Love him on your team, hate to play against him. Hockey, like many sports are played with emotion. There's an extreme on both ends of the celebrati...

You miss my point. The fact is sports are played with emotion. No denying that. To restrict that emotion is not natural. Definition of a robot is a mechanical being. That's what you are when you cannot show any emotion. Not someone who sees something on TV an emulates them or it. That's no differen...

Let's not get to off track here. By the way, who won the 2000 level?[/quote] Blades won. You can see all the score sheets from every level at http://www.pointstreak.com/players/players-leagues.html?leagueid=520[/quote] I thought this team wasn't any good? By the scores, they dominated. Boy, when the...

Nothing wrong with a quick celebration after a goal as long as it's spontaneous, genuine and respectful. So which is worse? The coach that doesn't allow any celebration or the coach that has the whole line all skate by the bench to bump fists? I know of a coach that does the latter and it drives me...

then make sure the legacy, and foothills elite and one other team that all posted 15, 19 and 18 -0 goals over one particular team, not just the blades........ Looks like the Machine and Blades are the 2 MN teams who should be playing each other. They are the only 2 teams without any sportsmanship. ...

Not true! (Talking 2000 level here because I believe that's the only Blades team in the International Cup) The Machine team shows more sportsmanship on the ice by a long shot! #1. They choose NOT to enter their team (or even their second level team) in an INVITE LEVEL tourney knowing full well that...

Top of the Morning HD41 – Snipers have been outscored 19 to 2 in the first two games, looks like your investment in MM Choice League and Breakfast Club are paying off as good as my BP stock. I always, I always love that one :P :P Iowa.....Ialllllllll.........IALLLWAYS! aaa hockey or is it? Do any t...

Now I hope the Icemen beat the blades 20 to 0. What a joke. Blades coach needs his head checked. Looks like the Machine and Blades are the 2 MN teams who should be playing each other. They are the only 2 teams without any sportsmanship. Let them beat each other up! Why don't they play? I would like...

Machine parent........take a deep breath and a step back, is this your oldest and or first child playing???? Its been said before on here this is a marathon, and just keep in the back of your head, the 95 machine are no longer and the "best 96 team in the country" at one point are not tog...

I'd love to read NIINTEAM's answer to HOTG's post. It's a good point worth discussing. Pay a lot of money to play top notch AAA hockey, and you have the choice (no pun intended) to play for a well respected coach (2000 blades), or a parent coach (2000 Machine), with no real coaching or playing back...

machine coach is excellent. team has extremeley low turnover - kids love the coach - all top players wanted to come back - add in a solid addition from the blades + 2-3 good hockey players from north metro -- 2010 should be decent would be great if blades would commit to 3 or 4 game series over the...

Did you say the Blades have the right to get slaughtered at the Brick tournament? Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value...

Muckandgrind - just want to answer some of your MANY questions you have posted here and many other threads recently: Bernie has NEVER mandated (or made us sign a contract) that Machine parents can't: 1.) Have a cocktail or drink at tournaments. As a matter of fact I can't recall a Machine tournamen...

First of all - yes, I'm a Machine parent so half of you guys can already choose to hate me. Thought I'd get that out of the way up front! Okay - haters on both side need to take it easy with all the allegations and hear-say about the rivalry between the Blades/Machine/Monopoly/Icemen and whoever is ...
