2nd win....
07/03/2008 By DouglasLaxers, Hope this July 4th holiday weekend finds everyone doing well. My brother is currently spending his first fourth of July in Afghanistan, so this is a special fourth for my family and I. He has been there since mid March of this year.
Getting back to the season we put another "W" in the win column. It is only our second win but it was a big one against league leading Denver. If we hope to get back in the mix of things we need to get another "W" this week against LA. Should be a good challenge for us and me personallly to go up against the West Respresentative in the All Star Game at the Face off X, Anthony Kelly.
Congrats to Levielle, Gabel, and Brooks who all were announced to the All Star Team this week.

06/17/2008 By DouglasHey ALL, It been awhile since my last update with you all....I have since moved from Illinois and I am on my way to Fort Lauderdale Florida in July. I have made a pit stop back in Long Island for some family and Camp time until we complete the move.
The Machine, we find ourselves in familiar territory as a franchise....1-4 not good...we have had a few heart wrenching losses in OT this year and lost another 1 goal game earlier to LA. I have been pretty much relagated to face offs duty this year...some time you gotta due whats best for the team and since Danny Kallaugher broke his hand last week, this were I am need most....should be a good battle this week against Denver if we hope to turn our season around we will need this one.....Wish us luck

05/27/2008 By DouglasHey, Hope everyone enjoyed the final four and championship game... I know I watched a total of 5 minutes of all the games. Between getting to the airport and flying back and forth to Los Angeles most of the Machine guys didn't get to see much. Unless your name is Leveille who managed to fly in and out of LA all in one day from Boston and play in his own game after watching his brother beat Virginia in double OT. Not a bad weekend for that family...
The Machine game was another great battle this weekend we just fell a bit short, I know I hit 3 pipes on the day.....so annoying. Our defense and Gabel in the net have been awesome this year we just need to find our swagger on "O".
The draft tomorrow should be exciting for the Machine, with the #1 pick overall we have so many options that we could go with and plenty of talent to choose from, also heard about some possible trades for our # 1 pick so it should be interesting.
2nd win....
