Don't Cross the Line...It's Week #9

Coke/YDD vs. MISF

Coke/YDD is definitely on the decline. After a poor loss against Alien Mike last week (and Mikey didn't even score)...they face a much fiercer opponent in MISF. "Laziness has plagued our team", mentioned Whitaker of Coke/YDD. "These guys don't want to show up and play." This coming from the captain that has made only 1/2 the games himself. "When our leader is gone, we have no direction" creid Koenig of Coke/YDD. " I even gave myself a tear tattoo on my cheek as a symbol of the sadness I have when Whitaker doesn't show." MISF is on a 2 game winning streak after defeating Alien Joe last week. Our players are dedicated, determined and desperate proclaimed Anthan of MISF. "Our players know the scouts are watching for B League, so we can't disappoint." This passion far outweighs Coke/YDD's mediocre play. MISF by 3.

Alien Joe Vs. Alien Mike
In the last outing, Alien Joe put a thumping to Alien Mike. Although Mike's team may have the better record, Alien Joe knows all of their weaknesses. Since there are so many holes in their game, I will share the key ones for all to see.
1) Barker in net - Ouch. He's another Chris Osgood. He played with Alien Joe last season and our stellar defense made him look like a champ. On his own, he's a house league goalie for a Pee Wee squad (at best).
2) Brad "The Mean" Dean - Have you seen this guy? He's like 5'2" tall and not very good. Our team has me & Lowell, who are not very tall either, but at least we're good.
3) Justin West is NO Gene Kelley - The battle of the pushers & shovers will be won by the elder. Gene invented the "shove you out of the crease" well before West even realized the Red Wings were a hockey team.
4) Mikey should stick to kickball. The most overrated player in the league. Easily stopped. He'll be lucky to touch the puck 3 times much less score 3 goals.
Alien Joe by 2

Legends/Irwins Vs. Bearings Group
Bearings has lost their last 2. Legends/Irwins has lost their last 4. Legends/Irwins brings a SOLID 1-7 record. The Irwins players say "We should have never merged with these guys", while Legends says "What time is Happy Hour?" Bearings is the dark horse in this league. All it will take is all their guys clicking all at once, and they will be the unstoppable force. The wins begin Wednesday. Bearings by 5.

Slapshot Vs. MP Security
With an undefeated record on the line, a 4 game winning streak, the top scorers, top goalie, best minor league affiliate, best team bus, coolest uniforms, most ammo per player, etc. etc. etc. the MP team is a force. Slapshot is no slouch. They only have 3 losses and have played some tough games. (A lot of ties). An upset is in the making and Slapshot takes this one by 1.

Joe was right about Gene's crease skills...luckily (for us) he was too slow to stop my short-handed goal...and Mikey's...and a few others....
