Guess What You'll See....in Week #3

The first 2 weeks are always used to "test the waters" and give all teams to see what the others are about. Picks will become more accurate now that I have a sense of skill & ability.

Alien Mike Vs. Bearings Group

Last season had Bearings Group owning Alien Mike. "We couldn't beat them last year" mentioned Wheeler of Alien Mike. "This year will be different." Different is right. The Alien Mike team brings added firepower with Dean, McCallum, Rech & West that were not there last year. "I'm bringing my scissors and 3 goals with me to the game" stated Feathers of Alien Mike. "I think someone's gonna get their haircut this game." Dylo added, "Blaine is definitely no Shane in net. Blaine's young, slow, cocky & a bit overrated, but we'll take him." The Bearings Group has a different take on the game. "I may be slow, tired & less skilled, but Alien Mike will not beat us" proclaimed Hoekstra. With the new rules banning performance enhancing drugs, the Bearings team still fees confident. "We'll find a loophole to the banned substance rule" stated a determined Danielson. "Hemphill has already suggested a Red Bull, ground beef, chocolate bar & guava juice shake has the same effect but is not illegal." I think both teams are relatively even and predict that both teams cancel each other out. 3-3 tie with Blickley & Dylo both hitting their max goals.

Slapshot Vs. MISF

The second game will come down to goaltending. With Storm in net for Slapshot, you never know what you'll get. "Sometimes I rush to put my pads on, and they go on the wrong leg" said Storm. "That makes a big difference you know." Alot of offensive support will need to come from star players like Ehrhardt, Reynolds & the Klevens. " I can't carry this whole team all season!" declared Day of Slapshot. The other netminder is another story. With Shivers in net, you better hope for a mistake as consistency is her game. Already being known as "Mini-Davis", Shivers should shine with or without her team playing defense. "Romey, Elliott & Anthan are the guys that will step it up this game" said MISF captain Knox. "These guys should have 3 goals each every game." Although a tough call on this one, goaltending will win out & MISF wins by 3.

MP Security Vs. Alien Joe

The talk of the town is an undefeated season by MP Security. With only 2 games past, players have already stated that Bishop, goalie for MP, is the "chosen one" and cannot be beat. "We can skate 1 player against Alien's 5 players, and they still wouldn't score on our guy" declared Broadbent of MP. Newly acquired player Bartak for MP Security left his former Alien Joe team. "Those guys were bad" said Bartak. "I wanted to be the superstar and they wouldn't let me, they held me back and now they'll pay for it." Alien Joe has a different version to the story. "We loved Mike and catered to his every whim" expressed Lowell of Alien, "I even filled his water bottle and folded his jersey after every game." Bartak leaves with a bunch of Alien guys disgusted. "He's got a target on his back" threatened Topliff, "I hope he stays home this game." As for goaltending, Alien Joe believes MP's net guy is lucky. "What's his last name? Bishop? There is only 1 'Bishop' in this league and he plays RW for Alien" observed Dan Bishop of Alien Joe. "Their goalie will at least be glad I can't score more than 3" added Scott Kelley. In a tight game, Alien Joe by 1.

Yankee Doodle Dandy Tattoo / Coca Cola Vs. Irwins Bikes / Legends Bar & Grill

This game has more sponsors than a Nascar auto race. A consistent YDD/Coke team is coming prepared. "We won the championship last session" pointed out Whitaker of Coke/YDD, "We've beat most of these guys once and ready to do it again." The new & improved "McDonald's" line consists of McElyea & McDonough. "We're gonna serve up a McGoal on their McGoalie and McWin this game" blurted out an angry McDonough. "All this is making me hungry" added Wolf. The Irwins / Legends team has had 2 weeks to "merge" their 2 teams together and start playing as a unit. "We don't have time to give all these players skating lessons" observed Halvorson of Irwins/Legends. "I can't be teaching people what offsides is, or how to hockey stop." The frustration can be seen by other teammates as well. At one point, Wente was having a beer at Legends with teammate Madson when his phone rang. It was the rest of the team asking if they were coming to the game. Wente replied sure...why do you ask? At which point, Mathews calmly mentioned they were already in the 2nd period. Gotta go with the long name and amazing results team. YDD/Coke by 3.

Good Luck all!
