Great Rivalries Coming this Wednesday

Detroit & Colorado
Toronto & Montreal
Philadelphia & Pittsburgh
All great match ups over the years, but none bigger than what you will witness this Wednesday.

Bearings Vs. Legends
A natural rivalry exists between these two teams based on geography alone. With both teams residing in the Des Moines area, each wants to "own the land". This match up has been dubbed "The Legend of the Bear."
This is there 4th meeting and Legends has the upper hand with a 3-0 record against Bearings this season. "We win this week." guaranteed Brus of Bearings. "I know I'm in a slump, but its coming to an end." I see the tide shift this game and Bearings wins by 2.

Alien Joe Vs. Irwins
On the surface it looks like Joe & Bill get along, but the reality is truly different. With many behind the scenes player issues, a true rivalry exists here. Irwins very own Aaron Clutts was once heavily recruited by Alien Joe. "They offered me my own masseuse, team limo & Reeses Pieces, but I had to go with my gut and best chance to win a championship" proclaimed Clutts. Irwin's top line of Brekke, Matthews & Anthan all play for Alien Hockey's B League Team on Sundays. "We can's hurt Joe too bad on Wednesday because he's the greatest scorer on the planet in B League, we can't afford to lose him", the trio stated. On the other side, Alien Joe's Dynamic Duo of Bartak & Brand are former Tour De Iowa Champs. "We buy our bikes at Irwins when we compete," mentioned the duo. "There wheels are the roundest anywhere." Alien Joe has the series lead 2-1 and should continue its winning ways. Alien Joe by 3.


Plaza Vs. Alien Mike
One team has firefighters, the other team has known arsonists. One team has a police officer, the other has a convicted felon. This is a recipe for one of the best rivalries in any sport. "The only good shot Mulford has is when he's shooting his gun" pointed out Captain Dylo of Alien Mike. "I'll show him how to shoot with my weapon, the feared Vapor XXX." With so many legal issues on the ice, anything can happen. "Theses games are fun to watch." stated Whittle who is the parole officer for Alien's Gene Kelley. "Its the only time he can legally make contact with someone." Barring no explosions at the Barton Solvents plant & no special sales at Krispy Kreme, Plaza by 2.
