Tough Picks This Week

Last Sunday I went 2-2. The Wednesday before I went 2-1. Thsi puts me at 4-3 for last week. Not the best showing, however still pretty good.

This week's match ups will be tough, so lets start with Wednesday.

Alien Joe Vs. Plaza Printers
It hurts to make this prediction, but with Alien missing Bishop & Close, Topliff & Mcelyea both being off last week, and Barker due for a bad game, I don't think I can score enough to keep my team in it. Although we'll make a valiant attempt, we lose this one.

Legends Vs. Irwins
A hot Legends team at the beginning of the season started cooling off and became inconsistent. They come into this game with a 2 game losing streak and need a win to get back on track. Irwins still is recovering from the grueling OT win they had last week. Team captain, Goodman stated that his team was still celebrating the win well into Sunday night, so they will be tired tonight. Legends gets the win here.

Alien Mike Vs. Bearings Group
Bearings is the "Dark Horse" this season. They can play a solid game one week and fall apart the next. They are the "Rex Grossman" of Wednesday Night C League. Alien Mike loses its captain, Dylo this week due to a skate sharpening incident. Although he denies it, Hoekstra from Bearings Group, brought in a faulty skate to get sharpened causing the injury to occur. "Next time, he'll be more careful" stated Hoekstra without compassion. Can Perry from Alien Mike carry the load all by himself ? Will the Kielty Bros each get hat tricks? Will Schaeffer ever leave the opponent's crease? Bearings wins this one.


Sunday C
Team 4 Vs. Coke/YDD
Koenig of Yankee Doodle Dandy Tattoo will be giving several free tattoos this game. After a tough win last week, Coke/YDD will have 3 players scoring 3 goals each. Glessner, Wolf & Harrelson each get the "tricks". Mattis, Day & Rech each have solid games for Team 4, but it won't be enough.

Waste Management Vs. Don's Auto
Don's comes into this game with a 4 game winning streak. And it will not end this week. Overwhelming firepower from Brandon, Kozak & Gorelik along with a "Hasek-Like" performance from Anderson will put Don's on top. Waste Management shoudl have all their players there with the early game, but Hutton, Runner & Camp will not be enough to be the "Don".

Sunday D
Cup O Kryptonite Vs. 11 to 7 Insurance
The Battle of the business owners is set. With both teams coming in with wins last week, the match up will be good. 11 to 7's goalie, Bailey has formally challenged opposing goalie Beller. "He can't stop a beach ball" stated Bailey. Although the score stays close, 11 to 7 improves their record to 2-0 with the 1 point win.

Alien Hockey Vs. Miller's Team
The late game will have both teams tired. this is a 50/50 pick as the winner will be the team that drinks the most coffee. The X-factor will be potential team sponsor Brian Hobbs. "I will step up and make the difference at this game", proclaimed Hobbs. Edge goes to Miller's Team.
