Someone bring a stereo and play this when I get on the ice :-)

I see your BIG SHOW and I'll raise you a Giant Gonzalez



Since Tito Santana had no theme and I can't find a Super Calo one, I give you "Latino Heat" (r.i.p) as my entrance theme

Let's do some calculating.

If it stays at 24 skaters, that's 12 per team.
If you go, totally hyopthetically here, nine forwards and three d, that's three lines of forwards.
Splitting 60 minutes equally to three lines of forwards comes to . . . 20 minutes per line!
Not even close to 10, even with that many forwards, which is too many...not enough dmen.

You could rotate eight forwards and four defensemen, in which case forwards get even more time.

Seven and five would be OK with me, and I'd even play D.
Imagine all the ice time for the forwards!
And I'd be rested and ready for a shift where I can give my all, rather than not catching my breath since the last shift.

Hell, PTDP might not even get a chance to puke with that much time to rest.
I know, it might end a streak and be the temporary end of a . . . tradition.
Sad :(

Try this calculation:

Of the 24 signed up, 2 will sustain an injury, 1 won't feel well, 1 will have to work. 20 will show.

That's 2 lines of 5 per. That means that every player, in an ideal situation, will play half the time and rest half the time.

For 8 people that will be too much ice time. For 8 people that will barely be enough. For the other 4 it will be enough ice time but not enough puck time.

Despite this, all 20 will say they had a blast by the end of the night.

I'm gonna have to recruit 6-10 more skaters!

Joe, you could just pretend you're Raitis Ivanans and not play after the first 20 minutes...

Of course, you would have to practice your icy stare.

Where the hell did all these people come from???

I suggest closing it to new skaters... but I'd play all 75 mins, given the option.

I'm trying to get Cole to play.

I think it might work out well if you can still goalie..our list is looking full, if it stays that way we'll spring for an extra 15 minutes on the ice...you could provide a well needed relief.
