A terrific 2-1 start this week in picks for Wednesday has me typing this email with a fire extinguisher nearby. I'm worried that my fingers ignite while typing this since I am red hot.
Sundays match ups should be easy this week, so as Larry Wusniewski always says "If you let the dog sleep, he won't need any food."
Waste Managment Vs. Coke / YDD
WM makes some positional moves to shake things up. "Our team needs a change, a spark, a big 55 gallon drum of Red Bull." proclaimed WM captain, Hodges. If WM even stands a chance, they need a big performance from Hutton, Breeding & Heckman. These top performers have been highly overrated all season and have yet to step up and earn their big contracts. Coke/YDD on the other hand have every player on the roster having at least one point with the top 7 players each having double digit points. "We not only play as a team, we dominate as a team." preached Captain Whitaker. "We don't just play hard, we go for the jugular." To remind all his teammates that Coke/YDD is the best team to ever play C League, Tattoo Dan provided each player a mandatory "Coke/YDD is #1" tattoo. Teammates Loverude & Mcelyea agreed that team unity was important. "Its kinda neat to get these tats, but maybe a bit much across the center of our chests." Coke/YDD by 2.
Don's Auto vs. Slapshot
After a HUGE win last week, Slapshot has some driving momentum. Don's on the other hand suffers a devestating loss. "If our guys want to continue their poor performance, some will lose their positions on this team." yelled Davidson, owner, captain & mascot of Team Don's Auto. Anderson, goalie for Don's , has been quiet up to this point, but after the OT loss in a shoot out, he had this to say: "Sergey & Sergiy are #2 & #3 on our team in points....but it didn't show last game." Those players responded "Anderson shouldn't talk so much. We lost in the shootout because he lets in soft goals." Don's Auto is in shambles behind closed doors. Tensions are running high & players Dimenstein & Knight are holding self imposed hunger strikes until the next win. On the other side, ex-Canadien Pro, Tourigny, is struggling on the stats side. His (1) sole goal for the season is hurting the team. His +/- is a whopping (-21) and he drinks all the water out of his teammates bottles on the bench. "I don't get it!? I skate hard, come off and my bottle is empty! I look over and there is Guy just smiling." complained Day of Slapshot. "We've turned a new page with this team" preached Rech. "The Klevens, Johnson & Bilbrey are finally showing up to play and it shows." Although this one stays close, Don's pulls out the win by 1.
Sunday D League
Kryptonite Vs. Alien
This should just be called "Alien vs. Predator", as Cup o Kryptonite takes their undefeated season and is looking to treat Alien like their next prey. Cup's Captain Johnson brings a balanced attack to each game. "There is no 'I' in team, but there also is no 'Q', 'Y' & 'P' in team either" babbled Johnson. With 9 players each having 2 or more points, almost every player is involved in every play. "I just cheer, c'mon you can get over that board, when Pedersen comes off", yelled Whiteman. They are almost playing the complete opposite team when they face Alien. The 2 Adams (Keller & Schneiders) along with Kindred are the teams backbone. "I know that the team counts on my dominating presence" stated Kindred proudly. "I have a hat trick and own this league" she boasted. Team Captain Bafia tries to keep her superstars focused, but is getting resistance. "They don't come to practice because of the Nike commercials they are shooting....its not fair to the rest of the team." Bafia commented. I'm taking selfishness on this one and take Alien by 2.
11 to 7 vs B & B
With no wins yet, B & B is on the verge of making a break through and hopes to get a "W" this week. With a rookie goaltender & a not-so powerful offense, they will need a leader to step up and take charge. "I know he's the team sponsor and all, but no goals or assists for Hobbs is not what we need." mentioned Liz Bryant. "I score all the goals, my great, fearless, & good looking husband stops all the goals, when will the rest step up?" 11 to 7 has 1 win and is looking to start their rise to the top. "We try and bring a balanced attack. Everybody contributes in points." As the stats show, Grahm is first with 28 pts and Casey Miller is a very close second with 9 pts....yeah really balanced. With Grahm getting shut down this week, I give the win to B & B by 3.
A capacity crowd is expected tonight as the first 500 fans each get a free "Matt Whitaker Bobblehead". "It looks a bit like him, but I'm used to seeing him flat on his back." noted Coke/YDD teammate Mudge.
