i'm sorry, how many practises this week?


well, turns out i didn't need a few weeks. I can tell u right now. trainning in the Full Time Trainning Center is HARD. seriously hard ass. 5-6 hours a day of getting your ass handed to you. 5 days a week. there's only 9 of us and we're starting to fall apart. damn.

anyways, for all yall that know about www.pvbcanada.com go check out "snake looking for a beach parter" or something like that, in the forum. so funny. i'm pretty sure its posted by some polish dude who struggles with the eeenngriish language. alright, peice out yall.

Day 4 Complete


Well,

its been a few days now, so i guess I should let yall know what happened. Goes like this. 1. Canada A 2. Tunisia 3. Canada B 4. Argentina. Canada A more less ran over Tunisia in the final. It was good to see. Freds back got all eff'd so he didn't play in the final so it was Bernier and Martin playing leftside. They did a real good job. It was good proof that our team is fairly deep on the bench. That was the only change in the line up, everything else was more less the same. So they won in four.

Canada B was the bronze. It was good to get a win. We hadn't had any in the W bracket since the tourny started. We beat Argentina in Five. We played a wicked first two sets. Running away with it really. Then of course we let up off the gas in the third. Made errors and didn't really do anything positive. So like clock work, i got yanked. I tend to get yanked a lot... My bad. Anyways, we finally got our shit together in the fifth and came out guns blazing and got up big early. Which is key in the fifth. And then we won. Hip hop hooray. We got a silver plate that says third place that no one will ever eat off. Such a shame really. So that was the Canada Cup. To all yall that came out, thanks a lot. The support was really nice. Respect to the Wu Tang.

Day 3


sup yall,

So, day three of the Canada Cup is over and in the books. First up, Canada 2 Lost to Tunisia.... frick. In three. They're pretty good. We were just not all that awesome. Might even call it a complete lack of awesomeness. void of an iota of awesomeness. Anyways. Canada A (old balls) beat Argentina in three. It was nice to see them play fairly well. Fred was doing his thing. That's why he's PAAAAAID in the Citttaaayyy. Good to see my man Terry Martin come in and finish things off with a few Martin style kills (Martin style of course being ill sick). So now its Tunisia and Canada A in the final, and Argentina and Canada B in the toilet bowl. I hope we do some good things tomorrow. Me personally too. I gotta do something. Get my act together. get'er done n shiz. Hit balls high n' hard. Serve heavy balls n stuff. Alright, i gotta go to sleep, early morning tomorrow.

P.s. thanks for clicking on the ad yall, it really helps me out.

p.s.s. if team canada started selling vintage jerseys or current jerseys, would yall buy them? I remember my friends back in the day bought some of Pauls jerseys. what you think?

Day 2


So, day two of the Canada Cup is over. Pretty disappointing for the Canadian teams. First the B team lost to Argentina, then the A team lost to Tunisia. Wild hey. I haven't even explained what happened yesterday have I. My bad.

yesterday Tunisia beat Argentina in four. Pretty surprising I think. I would have thought Argentina would have walked all over them, but Argentina doesn't have any of their big guns. After that Canada A beat Canada B in five. Good match for the most part. Till the end that is... Canada B kinda just fell apart. Which sucks. Good, so that was lastnight. now about tonight.

We lost to Argentina in four, really not our best showing, but I guess what do you expect from a bunch of university players thrown together 2 days before an international tourny. A lot of these dudes have never played senior international ball before. Excuses I guess. Whatever. And Canada A! What happened there, loosing to Tunisia. Its not so much that Tunisia is bad, Canada just let it slip away. Tunisia is very good, but shouldn't beat Canada. Come on. Forget about it. So hopefully tomorrow will be better. I sure hope so. Damn, greyhound don't float on water...

Ottawa


Wow, its been a while.

well I'm on my hotel room kickin it. Waiting a few hours till we start getting ready to play tonight. We're in Ottawa right now. Playing in the Canada Cup, or Furlani cup. It was supposed to be Us, Cuba, Argentina, and Tunisia. Broke ass Cuba sold out with like a week before the tourny. So they've been going like crazy in the office trying to find another country to send a team. Of course no one agreed. Makes sense tho. all the national team players from all over are heading back to their pro teams right about now. So, we put together a make shift B team. Its basicly a team made of cis dudes.... And a bunch of French dudes..... Strange. Anyways. Now its Canada A, Canada B. Argentina, Tunisia. We've been having a good time playing together, getting ready for our first match tonight against the old balls Canada team, or Canada A. (A standing for arthritis pain in the knees). Things are looking....Ok. Other than my man Louis-Pierre just went out with an ankle injury. So that puts us down to 10 dudes. So this'll be fun. So I hope to have fun. Its been a while since I've really enjoyed playing the game. So I hope I can enjoy myself tonight. We'll see what happens tho.

Oh ya, the venue. I'm so happy, we got a super nice venue. Scotia Bank Place. where the sens play. Fits like 22000 or something silly. Last I heard we had 800 tickets sold. SO, its gonna feel empty. kinda like the MTS center last year at the Norceca championship. We will have to produce our own energy, and not rely on the fans. Well, this should be interesting. I should get a nap in before this crazy shiz. respek.
