Geek Training Camp – 2008 Edition
We are heading towards the umpteenth annual Old Geek Training Camp. For those who keep score, we have lots of information about last year’s camp.
For those who want to really be prepared, have a look at the training camp roundup.
The Geeks had a good season this year (arguably the best start in many years), with a predictable collapse during the playoffs. “The more things change”, as they say.
A reminder – training camp is scheduled for May 23rd through May 25th, so you had better start your dry-land training now!! We are convening in the usual location – Collingwood, with two of the local golf courses being subjected to our dedicated practice.
It is clear that relative rookie Dave Maclachan has learned a fair bit this year, managing to collect five points in a single game during the run-up to the playoffs. Even more remarkable than this, is the fact that the scoresheet documenting the five point game is (mostly) untouched. Dave asked specifically for a framed gamesheet, and here it is.
One thing that Dave seems to have missed is that the Geeks lost 6-5. He also had a penalty – but no fight – so missed out on the proverbial Gordie Howe hat-trick.
By the way, I’m having a little trouble finding the Leafs on TV….
