The McDonald's preview the 2010 Chaos Roster
© |
 |
|
|
Belding, Preston |
8 |
8 |
Returning to the Chaos after a 1 year
suspension due to pathetic play EVERY year. The not so perfect
attendance Belding is not expected to produce much firepower despite the
good fortune of playing on a line with Mike Macaskill who is fresh off a
stellar season where he led a depleted Hamlin Pub Shark team to yet another
Championship |
|
Benninger, Steve |
5 |
C |
The Captain has not been playing much and his
game has obviously suffered the inevitable decline that comes with age.
Once again, he has put the young McDonald on his line so he will certainly
manage to figure in a few goals. Will he achieve his over/under
number. Don't bet a Loonie on it. |
|
Channer, Dwight |
42 |
F |
The only Chaos player who consistently
improves each year, he is just about acceptable now and stands a better than
average chance of achieving his over/under number. |
|
Fitzgerald, Will |
|
G |
Just knowing Jay Totzke has secured this man
a place between the pipes. It has been a long time since he was in the
net but he has been honing his skills on the softball field. Nobody is
impressed. The Chaos will need to step up their scoring to
overcome having Will in the net. |
|
Hill, Jason |
11 |
D |
For the second year in a row, Hill has
accepted a late invitation to join the Chaos. He stepped up to C
league play this year to prepare for Chaos competition but the results were
far from spectacular other than the occasional highlight of an opponent
swinging Jason's jock in the air after scoring a fancy goal. |
|
Kappler, Brian |
7 |
F |
Expectations for Kappler are running high for
the first time in memory now that he is reunited with Belding and playing
again with Macaskill. This line somehow manages to put a couple
on the scoreboard each year despite a noticeable slowdown in the pace of the
game whenever they are on the ice. |
|
Kinlin, Peter |
6 |
D |
Kinlin has been playing scrimmages in
Columbus with the Blue Jackets and his game is at an all time peak (for
him). Being paired with Eric da Butcha will only help and it is
unlikely that any goals will be scored when he is on the ice. |
|
Lovell, Andy |
13 |
D |
After doing pretty much nothing as a forward
last year, The Captain has moved Andy back to D. He seems to have
forgotten that last year Lovell was moved to Forward due to his performance
on D. I would not want to be the Captain and decide where to play this
man. Best to flip a coin. |
|
Macaskill, Mike |
3 |
C |
Mike is back centering a line with Kappler
and Belding. Checking past statistics, we can note that in 2008, Mike
outperformed The Captain in face-off winning percentage. MR. FYYF has
been on a tear recently and he is probably the Chaos player most likely to
double his over under number. |
|
McDonald, Pete |
4 |
F |
The Elder Statesman on the team has been
rejuvenated this year and has been playing some of the best hockey of his
life. There are articles all over the Internet describing how Pete and
his "brother" Paul are the two best players on the team. One even goes
so far to say that "once he gets going, don't even try to stop him".
He may even admit that this is a slight exaggeration, but it does indicate
that he is playing strong. |
|
McDonald, Paul |
91 |
F |
Paul has continued to follow in his father's
footsteps - at least from an offensive standpoint He has played well
every year and can usually be counted on to score a couple of goals every
game. 2010 will be remembered as the year where he discovers that
there is no force field at his own blue line and he can go back there to
help on D and get the puck at least once. |
|
Owen, Will |
66 |
D |
Last year Will moved from the leading spender
of "Butcher Bucks" at the local bars to the top defenseman on the ice.
Despite past performance, nobody knows how well he will be able to play (or
spend Butcher Bucks). Will managed to break his hand and we will avoid
describing how it happened other than to say it was not very smart.
His first game back will be the opening Chaos game. Will Will's game
be sharp? Nobody knows. Probably best to bet under on the
big moron. |
|
Phylactou, Steve |
TBD |
F |
Steve Phylactou? What kind of name is
that? How do you say it? Simple, Rhymes with Phuck-t-you.
Figure it out. Let's just call him Steve. He is a late addition
since everyone else we could think of already turned us down. He
is from Canada so he should be an acceptable player. Hopefully
he is from Montreal and not Toronto, Calgary, or Edmonton . . . after all,
The Chaos do not need any losers on the team. |
|
Sandstrom, Eric |
15 |
D |
Da Butch is woefully out of shape right now.
He has only played once or twice this year and neither performance was very
good although he did manage to get to the penalty box on his first shift of
the game last week. Hopefully this will be an indication that he is
back to being the Butcha we all know. The youngsters are counting on
this . . . for the after game festivities. |
|
Totzke, Jay |
2 |
F |
This is the first year in our memory that Jay
will be coming alone to the tournament. Most expect that this
will cause him to lose his mind and let the many distractions in Niagara
impact his play on the ice. Don't be surprised if this is that case.
Unless his over/under is less than 1, he will not go over. |
|
Winchester, Chris |
|
Wimpout |
Chris was a late addition last year and he
claims he will play this year. He is the exact opposite of
Preston Belding when it comes to reliability. Anyone who doubts this
only needs to look at what happened in the Championship game last year when
he did not even bother to show up. What will happen with Chris this
year? Nobody knows but if he does, he is set to play with Pete, so he
will have many scoring chances. |
|
Lipskie, Brad |
|
wimpout |
The once mighty Enforcer is no more.
Once again, he has joined the wimpouts. Once again it was at the last minute leaving the team high and dry. It now seems
obvious that it was inevitable. With his "Eat Alberta Beef" and "Leaf"
teams all playing golf, he decided not to be a big man and accept the abuse.
He will probably be playing golf like the rest of them. |
|
Fidler, Terry |
|
wimpout |
A no-show for the second year in a row, he is
close to being completely dropped from the roster. His presence at the
parties will be missed, but we will not comment about his presence on the
ice other than to say that he will not be missed at all. |
|
Krizek, Joey |
|
wimpout |
JOEY Who? 2 years in a row of not
playing. He is now behind the Roller Goalie in the pecking
order. |
|
Marchesi, Marty |
|
Dumped |
The world famous Roller Goalie played much
better than anyone expected last year and really only gave up one pathetic
goal. Unfortunately, it cost The Chaos a championship. We cannot
blame Hill for backing up and letting that guy score even though he should
have known better. Ultimately, every goal could have been stopped by
the Goalie. Also, his stellar imitation as Del Griffith while rooming
with McDonald virtually eliminated any chance he had to return as Goalie. |
|
Wagy, Rich |
|
wimpout |
In danger of being dumped from the roster. |
