Chief Editor Rescues Whalers with Hat Trick
In certain moments in a season, a true hero emerges that defines the team. Last night's game against District 5, with the Whalers trailing 1-0 going into the second period a hero was called upon.
The Chief Editor tired of watching the Montel brothers fail of scoring goals, took it upon himself to secure the offense. It wasn't spectacular in any means, but it was just professional. A couple of loose pucks in the slot, and the Chief Editor scored 5-hole to give the Whalers a 2-1 lead.
Than later in the 3rd period, on a odd man rush. Superstar Don set up the Chief Editor to complete his natural hat trick and salvage the Whalers season. It was the Whalers second victory of the year which have a respectful record of 2-5. Later on we caught up with co-captain Montel whom explained the Whalers recent success.
So why have the Whalers won two games in a row?
"Well I bought these new skates that fit me more properly, and snug. So it has boast up my speed to a few m.p.h."
Is that why, you have been falling uncontrollably in the offensive zone?
"Yeah, its tough when you skate as fast as I do. I'm not used to having such great speed. When I adjust I should be fine, by right now I'm still feeling it out."
How far can the Whalers go?
"We should win every game remaining in the season. So that would level out our record to 5-5. Than when the playoffs start, we should have a fighting chance at the championship."
Why do think the Whalers could win the Championship?
"Like i predicting in the beginning of the season, i will score 60 goals by the time the season is over. Right now i have 4 goals in 7games. So i figure with the remaining schedule and playoffs. I'm good for another 56 goals. The Montel is just getting started."
Thank you Mr. Montel.
The Whalers have been impressive in the last two games and will try to continue their winning ways next Wed at 9pm. Its dollar dog night, so bring the family, and any hungry fans.

Whalers End Losing Streak Capture First Victory 8-2
The Skate Zone Floor was clean, the refs didn't call any penalties, Montel wasn't complaining about playing time, and Matt Arena had a smile on his face the entire game.
Losing Streak of 5 games came to an end last night, as the Whalers were victorious 8-2. The team called a player only meeting before the game and talked about the suspension of Quads Skates, and how they could win in his honor.
Montel had these fine words before the game; "We now can play as a team. Without Quads I can finally receive the playing time I truly deserve. I can't score any goals siting on the bench. I need to play as much as possible. I set high expectations for myself of a 60 goal season, and right now I need 58 more goals to accomplish this task. I'm not worried about the team, all I can do right now is focus on my own individual goals. Lets go out there and pass me the puck! Go Montel!"
With this inspirational speech the Whalers put their main attention to setting up Montel in front of the net. After numerous whiffs, Montel finally connected on some one-timers, which was more than enough to secure the victory.
Next week's game is against District 5, which will be most likely the opponent of the Whalers in the first round of the playoffs. Quads will return from his suspension, and JD is day to day with an injury.

Quads Suspended in Whalers Defeat
It was not a pretty site last night, as the Waterford Whalers continue their losing streak to 0-5 to start the season. The Whalers came out flat in the opening period, they looked sluggish, and disinterest in the game.
Montel brothers were skating around in circles, if they were helicopters they would of taken off into flight, by the 4th twirl. Boytanio looked nervous, making un-character mistakes in his own end. Quad Skates set a new men's league record of most turnovers in a period. Goaltender Steve gave up some cheap slap shots from the point. The Chief Editor was getting burned on defense. Buzz Killington was a total buzz kill as his debut as head coach. It was a total mess.
Frustrated by the lackluster effort, Quad Skates was called for a elbowing penalty. On his way to the penalty box, he had an unfortunate encounter with head ref Luigi. "What did I get called for?" ask Quads
Luigi replied "Elbowing"
"I wasn't anywhere near a guy to elbow him" Quads barked
"Go to the box!" Luigi remarked
"Why don't you go fuck yourself, you asshole plumber. Tell your brother Mario to stop fucking the princess and rescuing you from being an cocksucking ref. If I was a betting man I would bet the house money that Mario used to kick your ass as apprentice plumber. You are the worse human being I've had the chance to meet. So go sit on a plunger! And trim that mustache." Quads commented.
"That's it, your gone. Game misconduct for number 92. " Luigi replied
Quads was ejected from the game, but was allowed to watch the remaining of the game from the Whalers bench. During one of timeouts, a puck was shot into the Whalers bench. Quads pick up the puck and chuck it towards the direction of Luigi's mustache. An displeased Luigi, threw Quads from the facility.
Commissioner Hall, awarded Quads a 1 game suspension for abuse of an official. Great Job Quad Skates!
The frustration of Quad Skates has summed up the season so far for the Whalers. The team has showed flashes of greatness, but hasn't yet earn the confidence to win a game. Team morale is at an all time low, and if things don't change soon it may result in a total shake up in personnel and management.

Stilts calls a players only practice
Insight of a 0-4 record to start the season. Rookie forward Stilts called a player only meeting and practice yesterday. The Whalers are coming off two very disappointing loses, in which the game was tied in closing minutes and lost both of those games by 2 goals.
Stilts had some very positive feedback of what the Whalers need to work on to secure their first victory. "Its very plain and simple, Montel needs to score more goals."
Management also is very please with the effort by the Whalers in the last two games. "We feel we're on the verge of capturing our first victory of the season. We made some personal moves by signing goal scoring superstar Don, and Steve as our goalie. Tonight I expect the Whalers to be skating off in the sunset victorious. "
Head Captain the Chief Editor, has made some line adjustments and strategy changes as well. "Tonight we're going with 3 offensive lines and 2 defensive lines. Also we're not going to heavily rely on Montel for any more offensive production. His meager 2 goals for the season, isn't going to win us a championship, so we've demoted him and his Montel brother to the checking 3rd line. Our first line will be Don-JD, second line Quads-Stilts, third line Montel brothers, on defense it will be ED-Chief Editor, and than the lover defensive pair of Boytanio-Arena. We're going to stack our lines, to get more offensive out of Don. Plus Quads will be flying high on offense with Stilts as his winger."
Tonight's game against Razz Russ will be at 9pm, the champagne bottles will be on ice awaiting the first Whalers victory.

Can Can Girls harpoon the Whalers 13-3
The Waterford Whalers drop their second game of the season 13-3 last night to Shop Rite. It was such a debauchery that the game was called after the second period due to the mercy rule. Things started out ok, for the Whalers as they manage to score 3 goals in the first period and were only down 4-3 after the first.
But it was all downhill from their. They didn't skate in the 2 period, and were giving up on forecheck chances. It was a total mess, and were taken to school by the Can Can girls.
The Whalers didn't have any fight, and quickly threw in the towel which caused the "slaughter in the second." It was 9 unanswered goals by Shop Rite which killed the Whalers and a dismal start to the season at 0-2. We caught up with head offense captain Montel after the game.
So Montel you made bold acclamations in the beginning of the year of scoring an outrageous amount of goals. I believe you made the proclamation of a 60 goal season. Now with two games into the season you have 0-goals, 0assists. How can you justify such a lackluster amount of production?
"Well at first it was my cage on my helmet that was causing my visibility of not seeing the puck. Now I believe, its my teammates who can't get me the puck in front of the net. That is where I make my living and how I can put food on the table. If nobody gets me the puck near the net, I can't score. "
To be fair this is rather tough league, it is the A division the best league around. Everyone can skate, so by you just standing in front of the net it is not helping your team. Are you going to make any adjustments to your style of play?
"I'm not a fast skater, so I don't believe in skating after a player or carrying the puck in the offense zone. I'm strictly a guy who camps out in front of the net, sits on a cushion stool, have a cup of tea, read the morning paper and wait for the puck to come in my direction."
With the terrible start of the season of 0-2, and the way you've been losing the games. Do you see any possible way the Whalers can bounce back?
"Yes, We're a very good team on paper. This is just the learning process of becoming a team. Once we figure out, how to get me the puck in front of the net we're going to be a very dominant team in this league. "
Thank you Mr. Montel.
Well the Season hasn't started out in the way of the Whalers. But their spirits are still high and will try to march on next week against the Land Sharks.

Boytanio takes a dive for season opener
Sources close to Boytanio have confirmed that he indeed took a dive for the season opener in net. The Whalers lost their first game 11-5 with Boytanio making only 8 saves, while giving up 11 goals.
"He didn't want to play the entire season in net, so he purposely let in goals, and made it look like he was a terrible goalie." an anonymous source has told the Daily Whaler.
"I know he could of at least stop of few of those shots and could of gave the Whalers a fighting chance of winning the game. But he choose to use the Sad French Clown technique he master as an intern at Cirque De So La."
The Daily Whaler tried to get an interview with one of Boytanios French Clown instructors. But one of the codes of a Sad French Clown, is to never speak a word and look miserable and depress every moment of your life.
Management has issues a statement about the allegations of Boytanio's dive
"We are fully aware of Boytanio's dive in goal for our season opener. He doesn't care about the team but rather only cares about his own well being. That is a rather cowards move and as one of our colleagues have called it a "Dick Weasel". To further clarify what a dick weasel is, it is someone who doesn't care about anyone else, and would do anything to get out of a situation. Instead of helping the team out with a valiant effort, Boytanio choose to be a "Dick Weasel" and throw the game so the Whalers would get embarrassed on opening night. "
When asked what the punishment would be for throwing a game, management had this to say.
"We've talked about releasing Boytanio, but we believe in second chances. So we're going to play Boytanio in our next game against Shop Rite, and if he pulls this Sad French Clown tactics one more time, he is going to be put on waivers."
The Whalers will try to bounce back this Wednesday and even their record at 1-1.

Killington out at least a month
It has been confirmed that star goaltender Buzz Killington will be sidelined for at least a month. He has torn some ligaments in his right knee, and could miss the entire season pending physical therapy.
Emergency goalie Brian Boytanio will not be called upon, unless a replacement can't be found. His poor performance and sad French Clown tactics in the season opener were not appreciate in the 11-5 slaughter.
So it looks like the Whalers will either go with Spot, or goalie by committee until Killington can make his return.

Whalers lose Season Opener 11-5
It wasn't a very pleasant season opener for the whalers on Tuesday Night against the Land Sharks. Spot the rookie goaltender from the OHL wasn't able to attend, so Brian Boytanio had to fill the goaltender position.
The Whalers were very disorganize in the first two periods, and spent more time chasing the puck around in their own defensive zone. At the end of the second period when the Whalers gave up 2 goals within the last minute, it deflated the club who was down 9-2 after 2 periods.
But the third period, the Whalers made some line adjustments and were playing much better. They managed more shots and scored three goals in the period to made it a justifiable lost of 11-5. After the game we caught up with the captain of the team the Chief Editor.
"We played a very sloppy game in the first two periods, and it showed. I'm satisfied with the third period effort and we have to play a full 45mins game with that composure. This is just the first game and we can build on this defeat and play a more intelligent game next week against Shop Rite."
The Whalers are holding another unofficial practice at Skate Zone tomorrow afternoon at 3pm to work on skating and trapping in the neutral zone.

Montel Displeased with Shorten Playing Time
On the eve of the Waterford Whaler's inaugural game, management has decided to increase the roster to 9skaters and a goalie. They have added interim goaltender Spot from the Western Ontario League. This means that Boytanio will be free of his obligation of filling the vacant goaltender position.
Management has made the following statement "After long and tiresome hours of scouting and evaluated in house talent. We've decided to add Spot to our roster and allocate Boytanio to play offense. Spot has perform well for his OHL team the Land Otters, and we think he can help the Whalers until Killington can return. This also means the offense will have an extra player, and we give us added depth up front with Boytanio. We're very excited about tomorrow's game against the Land Sharks and think we have a very competitive hockey team. "
With the addition of Boytanio to the offense it provides the Whalers with options of shuffling the lines. We caught up with Montel and ask him his thoughts about this announcement.
How do you feel about having an extra skater on offense?
"I'm not happy at all. This is going to effect my playing time and performance"
How is it going to effect your performance"
"I can't play well, if I'm not getting the amount of playing time I deserve. How am I going to score 40goals if I have to sit an extra shift. That is total bull- and I'm very upset with how management handle the situation."
Why are you angry with management?
"They didn't consult with the Assistant Captain and offense captain for one. Its a slap in the face that they don't trust my offensive skills of camping out in front of the net and producing for this organization. Second they haven't taken into account of my new found strength which has added 20mph to my wrist shot and 40mph to my slap shot. And finally didn't they see my resume from last season, I was a beast with 30goals in my first season as an indoor roller hockey player. I don't understand management."
How are you going to respond?
"I'm not predicting 60goals for the season. So its just going to motivate me to play harder and better with this BS shorten shifts. Did Wayne Gretzky have to sit an extra shift? I don't see why the Montel has to either.
Tomorrow's game against the Land Sharks is at 10pm, please arrive a half hour early and beat the traffic.

Killington a victim of his own Buzzkill
Star Goaltender Buzz Killington took a nasty spill last night at Firefighting Hockey. His right knee buckled and was carried off the ice. Early speculations are a torn ACL, and could cost him the entire season on the IR.
No official status of Killington's injury has been issued yet. The Daily Whaler will keep a close eye on this incident, and will keep an update on any other developments.
Right now it looks like Boytanio will have to hold down the fort in net until the Killington can make a full recovery.
Management has decided to sign Ed(Coldplay's older and more talented brother) on a loaner deal to play this Tuesday for the season opener. Both sides are still working on a contract extension for the entire season.
With the addition of Ed for this Tuesday, the roster has 2 solid defensive lines, with 2 supporting lines of offense. Management has made the following statement
"Ed is a great defensive player that can allow JD to move to one of the inadequate offensive lines. We are still very concern of the recent injury of Buzz Killington, but we think that Boytanio can provide us with outstanding goaltending. We've heard the concerns from Montel about his shorten shifts, but as of now we have 8 skaters and a goalie, so no playing time will be cut. "
With all of the pre-season drama, it looks like a very eventful season.

Boytanio Buzzkilled
Starting goaltender Buzz Killington will be scratch for the season opener start on Tuesday. He has a very important party to attend, and won't make Tuesday's game.
Brian Boytanio will replace the Killington in net, and now the roster has shrunk to 7 skaters and 1 goalie for the season opener.
Assistant Captain Montel has issued a press release
"The Whalers will play hard with the absence of Killington. I know that much has been made of adding another high quality player to the roster. But I assure everybody that the Whalers will splash on to victory. I've been working on my red line slap shot, and its going to be deadly to the opposing goaltender. Just get me the puck and I predict now 40goals for the season."
With the season only days away, the drama thickens for the Waterford Whalers
Brian Boytanio will replace the Killington in net, and now the roster has shrunk to 7 skaters and 1 goalie for the season opener.
Assistant Captain Montel has issued a press release
"The Whalers will play hard with the absence of Killington. I know that much has been made of adding another high quality player to the roster. But I assure everybody that the Whalers will splash on to victory. I've been working on my red line slap shot, and its going to be deadly to the opposing goaltender. Just get me the puck and I predict now 40goals for the season."

Second Unofficial Practice
Second Unofficial Practice was held today and it was a clinic on skating. Boytanio, Stilts, Montel, and Chief Editor were the only Whalers in attendance.
Assistant Captain Montel showed promise and poise in the offensive zone as he weave in and out of traffic. Montel is determine to reach his goal of 30 goals this season with a workload of playing time.
However Heroic Icon Master P on conference call from Las Vegas, had different views on the upcoming season for the Whalers.
"If Montel and Boytanio are on your number 1 offensive line, your are going to suck. I would recommend telling management to sign a skilled player and make Montel sit an extra shift. It is important that Montel gets enough rest so he can perform his early morning talk show. I'm ready for some Montel!"
Management hasn't yet commented on whether they are pursuing any free agents to fill the void of Scores A lot's offense.

Revised Schedule
So once again the SkateZone has decided to trouble our lives and make the 3rd schedule change in about a week. If you notice first game is on Tues 10/27 at 10pm.
I'll be around tomorrow, so if anyone wants to go to open hockey at 3pm, let me know.
Back-up goalie/mascot Gang Green might be able to play tomorrow, so we'll have 1goalie.
As for Mr. Buzz Killington maybe?
Go Whale Go!

Shockwaves SAL not a Whaler
It is official that Scores A Lot has not renew his option and will not be playing for the Whalers this season. He has decided to play for another Men's League Team instead. When asked why? he made the following statement
"I have chosen to take another direction and play ice-hockey instead. It is in the best interest of my future and well being to concentrate on sport that has a larger following. Plus, I couldn't see myself playing on the same line with a guy who triple axles in the offensive zone. Its just not my thing. I'm sorry and wish the Waterford Whalers the best of luck."
The Chief Editor was too emotional to be reached for comment, and had offensive captain Montel answer reporters.
"I'm going to take the offensive workload on my back and score at least 30goals in Scores A Lot's honor, Now with Scores A lot gone, I will have the sufficient playing time I deserve and I will produce the majority of the goals."
How are you going to score that many goals?
"Well I'm glad you asked this question. See everyone knows I'm not the most nimble of skaters, or even a finesse type of player. But with more playing time, I have a greater chance of scoring. So its basic math, the more time you have to score goals, the more you'll score."
But even you admit that you don't have the greatest skills to accomplish this task, so how are you going fill the void in the Whalers offense?
"No need to worry, if you believe in yourself anything can happen."
So the Whalers kick off the season this Sunday against District 5 at 8pm, what kind of offense production is still in question.

First Unofficial Practice
The first unofficial practice of the Waterford Whalers was conducted on Thursday at 3pm. Highlights included a tutorial of how not to turn into an apple turnover machine, and defensive zone breakouts.
Boytanio was skating so intense that he made a innocent bystander puke his brains out. Good work Boytanio!
First Game is on Sun 10/25 at 6pm, I recommend everyone to try and get some rink time before the season starts. Skatezone has open roller every weekday from 3pm-430pm. I'm willing to go next Thurs if anyone is interested
Also I would like to make an announcement that Quad Skates is officially allowed to wear his medieval skating devices in the league. So we now have a defensemen who can shuffle and boogie to all of your favorite 70s hits.
