So my Wednesday picks didn't go as expected (although I did pick MISF by 3 and they won by 5). This being said, its time to start putting curses, jinxes, etc on teams.
D League Games
11 to 7 Vs. Cup O' Java
Starting the season 0-2 for the defending champs is not what I expected. With captain Johnson at the helm once again, he cannot seem to right this sinking ship. I have seen him on a number of occasions at his shop as he pours me my double capacino, espresso, chocolate latte with 2 ounces of whole milk and he mumbles to himself "where or where is Richter?" Not the confidence the team wants to see from their leader. Seiler & Whiteman both agreed that it may be better for the team if Johnson steps away from the "C" on his chest and give it to the true leader in Compton. How long will this hungry owner go before changes are made?
As for 11 to 7, a 1-1 start is respectable. A good crew of players that although have no skill whatsoever, still manage to stay competitive. Its the attitude that team cheerleader Beede brings to the table. He has been known to give shoulder rubs in between shifts to his teammates. Although most appreciate this as a way to relieve tension, teammate Gardner says it makes him rather uncomfortable. 11 to 7 wins by 2
Alien Hockey Vs. B & B
Alien Hockey also holds a 1-1 record going into this game and faces their biggest challenge with the undefeated B & B. The Alien crew is a crazy mix of people. How a mix of personalities like they have get along is beyond even my genius comprehension. With a convicted felon, coal miner, Navy Seal, Dandelion Collector, Flea Circus Trainer & professional swordsmen all on the team, you would think there would be personality clashes. Team captain, Bafia, who plays every other game because as she puts it "I can do whatever I want." will be back tonight. With Hansen in net they always have a chance, but will they play together?
B & B on the other hand is a bunch of crazed & rabid dogs. They know the feeling of losing with their stellar performance last season, but new additions like Holloway & Bishop in net, They have a new focus. Potthoff is extremely disappointed about the 3 goal rule as he feels he will have that easy tonight. Just today, Zeutenhorst stopped in to sharpen his skates and purchase a "Terminator" shield for his helmet. He informed me that he does not want the opposing goalie to see the whites of his eyes as he top shelfs Tony all night long. He's already growing his playoff hair & beard only 3 weeks into the season as he thinks it will take a good 20 weeks for it to actually show up. B & B by 2 in this one.
