I'm 2-1 this week, and although not perfect, still pretty darn good.

I've been waiting until the last minute to make my picks as I await medical reports, team trades, scratches, etc. to help analyze the winners.

Here goes Sundays
Waste Management Vs.Slapshot
Waste Management comes to this game with a 5 game losing streak. Their record of 2-9 is deceptive as they have many talented players. Hutton of WM stopped by the other day, bought a new stick and gave the "Messier Guarantee" that they will win this game. He was excited that this was an 8:30 game so he could get some sleep prior to his 4 Am work day. Breeding, Carlson & Hodges will help WM win this one in convincing fashion. Tourigny & Johnson of Slapshot will have great games after having played in the Turkey Tourney, but it won't be enough as the full ice version of hockey will take its toll. WM by 4

Don's Auto Vs. Coke/YDD
This game needs no build up. Trash talking was already happening at Wells Fargo the other night. Sergey Gorelik of Don's & Patrick Mcelyea of Coke played on the same team for the Wells Fargo game and worked the ice well together. After the game in the locker room, Patrick had wished Sergey luck for the Sunday game and Gorelik responded, "we don't need your stinkin' luck". At which point Patrick leaped over his hockey bag to challenge Sergey. Kozak & Willis of Don's were also there and jumped in to work Mcelyea over, but fellow Coke Teammates, Wherenberg, Wolf, Glessner & Harrelson also joined the scrum. It took 12 Wells Fargo security staff, 8 other players and the Ice Girls to break up the battle. Don's leads the series 2-1, but this will be Coke's night. In a close game, Coke wins by 1.

Sunday D
B & B Vs. Cup O Kryptonite
The newly sponsored team of B & B will earn their first win this week. Cup O Kryptonite brings an undefeated record to the table, but it gets snapped tonight. Cup's points leader Richter is held to no goals as Potthoff & Zeutenhorst open up to lead the team to victory. B & B by 3.

Alien vs. 11 to 7 Insurance
11 to 7's captain Green has a new weapon (stick). His Datsyuk like skills with it are unstoppable. he spoke with me at great lengths worried that he would be asked to move up to C and maybe B league very soon because of the onslaught of goals he will pour on. 11 to 7's goalie, Bailey will have the game of his life while Chopard, Kindred & Little are non-factors in this game for Alien. Hansen will have great game as well, but defensive breakdowns for Alien will cause struggles for the netminder. 11 to 7 by 3

Good luck and once again, you can lay the mortgage on these picks!
