Ryan,
The goalie stats, I think you need to swap them. There’s no way that Rhys had 23 shots on him in the last game, and there’s no way we only put 10 on Aaron. I put about six on Aaron myself. And I saw the kings sk8 game, and Devin stopped a heap of shots, he must have had at least 15 – 20, I would imagine those 7 shots were put on the sk8 goal, which was empty on and off during the game. I would suggest the same thing would solve the week before – we put a crapload of shots on Tony Pasco, and kept most away from Rhys.
Are you sure you’re always picking the right column, because the goalie stats are pretty messed up. It seems swapping the shots over might lead to the right result.
The ‘points after round six’ are also still wrong on the individual team pages. You’ve got us down as only having 5 games, and the results, goals etc are wrong. The scores up above on that page, also don’t relate to the correct results you have earliert in the stats.

Sharks vs Bullfrogs: Sharks are locked into a tie for 3/4, and a win tonight should see them kick on to a semifinal finish, and a chance at the title. A loss, and they’ll be looking behind them to a last week game against the Beasts, which will be ‘must win’ for a semis spot. Bullfrogs have been looking strong all year, and will be looking to cement a ‘home’ semi tonight. Sharks have a solid netminder, and Simon Christos and Cory MacDonald have been racking up the points – 17 in five rounds. Things thin out a bit then however, and if the Bullfrogs can shut these two down, they’ll kick clear. For the ‘frogs, Sam Smith on fine form with a hat trick in the first period last week, and David Bulling looking to get over the disappointment of no goals.
Kyle’s pick: Bullfrogs to take it out 4-2, Christos to get both the Sharks goals, Smith, Bulling, and Matthews to score for the ‘frogs.
Beasts vs Ducks: The Ducks roller coaster moves on, looking to munch up some Beast tonight. Key for the Quackers so far this season – an incredibly solid body in front of the uprights, and then two scoring machines in Matt’s, Aitken and Reay, with a whopping 32 points between them. Tonight won’t be too much different, despite Beasts having a collection of good players and Metzger in goal providing a solid line of defense – eventually the shots will get through. Key for the Beasts if they’re going to compete – Matt Bowen with a strong wrist shot, and talented inline convert Stefan King. If they can rack up a couple of goals between them, and Nick has a blinder behind some solid defense, Beasts can push for some points.
Kyle’s pick: Ducks too strong, 5-2. Aitken to miss out on the hat trick for the first time in the season.
Bulls vs John McGlashan: For last year’s champions, the Bulls, it’s been a season of ‘almosts’. One draw and two games where they went down by just a goal – three more goals at crucial times and they could be on six points and competing for the top four. They’re stuck on the bottom of the table, and yet their goal differential is better than two teams higher than them. Their hopes of making the finals are shot, but they’re still in with a chance to spoil some other team’s final runs, including John McGlashan. ‘Johnnies’ had a good run of three wins, but struck some good Bullfrogs defense last week to miss out 4-3. They’ll be looking to hit back on the points table, and Bulls will be looking to finally pull it through, and get the win. Key for the Bulls, a good team effort with a number of their better players taking shots on net, tied with good defense on some of Johnnies stars. Key for their opposition – keeping up their good form so far, with Cleugh, Mannerwood, and Weir all performing out on the ice.
Kyle’s pick: Out on a limb, I’m going for a draw, good work from the Bulls and a big night for Antony Blackett in goal. 3-3.
SK8 vs Kings: Kings had a big night last week with their first win, and they actually have the easy run to the finals with fellow cellar dwellers SK8 and Bulls to go. They’ll be looking to kick on and finish on a high note, and they might rumble SK8, who haven’t had the happiest season to date, with a win and a draw. Key for Kings, attacking stars Garrett Wilson and Damien Watson getting the puck in the back of the net, with good support from the rest of the team, and goalie Devin Williams having a good night in goal. SK8 just need to pull it together, sort out their passing game, and put good shots on goal.
Kyle’s pick: SK8 to take a close one, 5-4. Roth brothers to get a double, Kings to spread the scoring around a little.
Off ice: Referee to get injured tonight. Sorry about jinxing you there mate. People starting to get excited about DIHL II 2006 – split pool! Slap shots! No goal limits! Bring it on! etc, all heard around the rink. Rego forms coming in a couple of weeks.
The forum also won’t let me upload an avatar image. It gives an error message which disappears too quickly to read it.

no that was my pre-game prediction. Which was clearly wrong. Ignore that, the stats I mean on the pdf stats sheet.
John McGlashan vs Bullfrogs (4 – 3 to the ‘frogs)
A perfect pick on the score, that’s not bad. Still no goal for Matthews, and the whole wearing a mouthguard thing – I couldn’t yell at people, or breath properly! How do people wear them? Sam Smith gets a hat trick in the first period, and then helps out Pete Sandford with the winning goal. JMs push hard near the end, but Bullfrogs hold out to stick at the top of the table with a guaranteed semi now. If only they could sort out the offside rule.
Ducks vs SK8 (4 – 2 to the ducks)
Nope, Ducks were home and away with this one, with SK8 just unable to get it past big Toby Schuck in goal, and Daniel Kinraid not having his top night between the uprights for SK8. 8 – 1 in the final score, and SK8’s frustrating season of having shots, but just not converting, continues.
Beasts vs Kings (4 – 2 to Beasts)
Interesting game this. Antony Blackett subs into goal for the Kings, and with Damien Watson netting three, and three other players scoring, Kings get a first win. Nick Metzger has a rough night between the posts, and Beasts players are only to get a couple of goals. First blood for Kings, and they’ll be mighty glad of it no doubt.
Sharks vs Bulls (4 – 3 to Bulls)
A close game, but I’ve called it the wrong way. Sharks win 5-4, Simon Christos and Bob Bell both getting hat tricks for their respective teams, Cory McDonald continuing his fine form with a couple of goals making the difference. Bulls languishing on the bottom of the table, on one point, won’t be happy.
(There’s still some problems with the stats Ryan. page 7 for example, the score against the beasts isn’t right – we won that game. The points after round five is also wrong. We’ve won 4, drawn 1.
I’m also not sure what the scoresheet says, but page 6, there’s no way we only put 10 shots on Tony, and no way Rhys had 37 shots – that stat might be the wrong way around? The other team pages seem to have similar errors – Bulls some of the scores, and the points are wrong.)

Cool. Maybe if the split dihl plays on two different nights one will work better for her.
Ryan, can we remove any references to people still joining the DIHL? I don’t think we want to advertise that any more, as I think we should turn people away from now on.
What happened with Martell btw?
Kyle
I agree – I don’t have any problem with adding just about anyone to this forum, as long as they treat it with a little bit of respect. I guess the determining factor as to whether they have access to it, is they’re either doing some useful work for the dihl or some other part of dunedin ice hockey, or they have some useful advice to offer.
Btw Ryan, can you email me those rules that you’ve been working on? I’ll give them a once over with my red pen.
Cheers,
Kyle
