What The Puck’s Opponent Can’t Stop What They Can’t See
#1 What The Puck (13-3-0-1) vs. Mexican Standoff/Happy Little Elves/Bad Touch
Location: Corlears North, 2:00 PM
All-Time Series: What The Puck leads Mexican Standoff 6-0, What The Puck leads Happy Little Elves 1-0, What The Puck leads Bad Touch 9-2
2008 Result: Week 2 - What The Puck 9, Mexican Standoff 2; Week 15 - What The Puck 3, Happy Little Elves 2; Week 1 - What The Puck 6, Bad Touch 2
Game Notes: In addition to finishing first in the overall league standings, What The Puck also boasts BTSH’s highest scoring offense. The team combined for seventy-five total goals, with three of their players finishing in the top ten: Mike “The X-Factor” Woodsworth (18), Corey “Chongo” Winters (15), and Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer (14). Renowned as one of the craftier captains in the league for his exhaustive game-planning and film study, Zimmer will have to devise three separate strategies for What The Puck’s unknown opponent. Regardless of who it is, What The Puck will be heavily favored.
Eli’s Pick: What The Puck. The regular season champion has never lost in the opening round.
Derek’s Pick: What The Puck. They have a small team, but everyone on it is good.
LBS, Inc. Looks To The Playoffs
#2 LBS, Inc. (13-3-1) vs. Gouging Anklebiters/Mexican Standoff/Happy Little Elves
Location: Corlears South, 2:00 PM
All-Time Series: LBS, Inc. leads Gouging Anklebiters 8-1; LBS, Inc. leads Mexican Standoff 5-0; LBS, Inc. leads Happy Little Elves 1-0
2008 Result: Week 3 - LBS, Inc. 5, Gouging Anklebiters 3; Week 10 - LBS, Inc. 6, Mexican Standoff 5 (OT-SO); Week 9 - LBS, Inc. 7, Happy Little Elves 3
Game Notes: Although second-seeded LBS, Inc. should be poised to make a deep playoff run, their focus is far from BTSH at the moment. As Wall Street continues to topple, the corporation is heavily immersed in damage control. In fact, majority shareholder Ken “The Alpha Male” Poulin (who is referred by that nickname on all corporate documents) has already released a statement that he will be absent from the game as he continues to reassure the Board of Trustees. It reads, “Although I will be unable to attend this week’s game due to circumstances beyond my control, I am confident that our CEO Sascha Puritz, CFO Brian “Grandmaster B” Barrett, Compliance Officer Karsten Pichon, and the rest of our exceptionally talented staff will deliver a decisive victory.”
Eli’s Pick: LBS, Inc. If they win by more than five goals, Poulin’s stock goes up a full two points.
Derek’s Pick: LBS, Inc. It’s tough to imagine LBS, Inc. losing to a team that’s playing its second game of the day.
