Looking Forward

Well my friends our season ended last night with a 2-1 loss to Columbus in the conference finals.  It is a tough one to swallow but my hat is off to the Crew.  They are a good team and I wish them luck in the cup.  I truly felt that we were going to win that game.  We just had a 6 min period in the second half when they got the better of us.  We just need to learn from this for next year.  I am very proud of my team, we really came together this season. 

No one gave us a chance and we finished second in the east and beat New England in the first round of the playoffs. We posted two cleansheets in that series.  I am already looking forward to next season, we have a great core of kids here who can really play. 
As far as me personally I think I did pretty well.  I proved I am healthy again and can play every game. I was voted mvp of the fire and gk of the year in the league.  I am really happy with that one because it is voted on by the players and coaches, so it means alot to have my peers vote for me.  Now it is time to finish up in Chicago and get home and spend some quality time with my wife.  Oh yea and I have to get back to my gk academy and train some gks.  No rest for me.
I want to say thank you to all the TGBers for all your support this season, you guys have been great. I will be blogging with you guys again soon.

all the best

All of us on TGB want to congratulate Jon on a fantastic season.  Mixed feelings for me as Jon is a good friend of mine, but I have been waiting a long time for the Crew to make it.  Hopefully we will hoist the cup next Sunday!

Jon, would you care to comment on the "confrontation" with the Large Waisted One that ESPN referred to after the match? Sigi seemed to take great joy in dissing you yet again.

It was nothing, and yes he did.  But if you get ahold of chewie he knows the whole story.  Only part of it was told on the tv last night.  I will leave it at that because I am more professional than that.

thanks

buschy, even my girlfriend, who generally doesn't care about sports, was shouting at the TV last night as we watched the game, rooting for you guys. You should all be proud, and you in particular had an incredible season. I hope somebody out there with video editing skills can put together a hilight video of your best saves. I know we'd all love to see that. Enjoy the offseason!

Really great stuff this year Buschy. Saw your spot in Sports Illustrated by the way.

Hey Buschy, tough last game. I of course have the same mixed feelings as Chewie. I have it double too, as a friend and former teamate of mine was one of Chris Rolfe's coaches in Dayton too. I had been pulling for you guys all season. Congrats again on the season as a whole. I really enjoyed watching the games I got to see.

Sorry to give you a short break, but I am really looking forward to the goalie training.
