Previews are Back!!!
So a lot of you have mentioned that you really miss the previews…so as always your wish is our command and we are happy to oblige.
GOTW
Fresh Kills at Hookers
Derek: The Hookers would clinch first place in the Brown Division with a win here, but I think Fresh Kills keeps it interesting with a 3-2 win.
Nick: The Hookers would clinch first place in the Brown Division with a win here, but as we all know, BTSH is scripted like pro wrestling and a FK win would make things more interesting. FK 4-3 with Gabe and Jason netting dueling hat tricks a la Crosby/Ovechkin in the 2009 Playoffs.
Eli: Corlears always seems to find a way to beat Fresh Kills, and Jason Eitel has been showing up of late, so I’ll go with Corlears, 4-2.
Sky Fighters at Riots
Rich: Terrible loss last week, Sky Fighters. They’ll get back on the winning ways this week, 4-1.
Derek: The Sky Fighters are teetering on the brink of demotion. With Filthy Gorgeous facing a tough Demons squad (see directly below), this could be a good chance for the Fighters to gain a little more ground. 5-2 SF.
Nick: I think the Riots are a much better team than their record suggests, but the Fighters will lean on Roman to get them back in the win column here. 4-1 SF with a multi-goal performance from him.
Eli: Dan Hopper has already told me he won’t be at this game, and the last time he missed a game, Olivier was captain. Some of the Sky Fighters might not be able to understand Olivier, but they’re probably used to that with Martin anyway. Sky Fighters, 3-1.
Filthy at Demons
Rich: If the Sky Fighters loss was terrible last week, it would be safe to say the Demons win was amazing. Each team has two great scorers, but the Demons have more team spirit and are always well rested when they play. 4-3 Demons.
Derek: This is one of those games that Vegas loves with the bettors putting all type of juice for on a Demons win. Well, I’m fading Glanzer on this one for a 4-3 FILTHY win.
Nick: I actually like Filthy this week – $h0wT!m3 always seems to show up for games against the Demons. I’ll have Filthy edging the Denim guys 2-1.
Eli: $h0wT!m3 versus the Demons? That means we get to promote this clip again! I don’t see this going to a shootout, though, as the Demons prevail, 3-2.
La Famiglia at Elves
Rich: Last time we played, La Famiglia dominated the second half, but lost in a shootout.
I predict Phil Donohue is going to be very glad he didn’t ref this game, like he did the last time we played.
Derek: La Famiglia wins in a shootout, and the $h0wT!m3 Division is tied at the top (not really, the Elves would still be ahead via the tiebreakers)!
Nick: I’m reffing this game so will abstain from a prediction here. Okay fine, I predict that both of those high sticks will probably be called.
Eli: Richie didn’t refer to La Famiglia as the Tuques? Uh oh, that’s not a good sign. Tuques, 4-2.
Gut Rot at Math
Rich: Boyfriend vs. girlfriend in this matchup, as Diane takes on Zach. Diane is one of the most competitive people in the league (in words with friends) and Zach has told Diane its over if she doesn’t throw it. So something has got to give. I’ll go 5-1 Math on this one.
Derek: Zach put yes in our team Evite with the comment that he’s out of town. Unfortunately, he actually is out of town, but I wanted to point out that he doesn’t know how to use Evite. Sam is coming though, and Nathan is a maybe.
Nick: Going with Gut Rot and the upset special here, 3-2. Diane Johnston pots a goal to extend her streak to two games and claim alpha status in her relationship with Zach.
Eli: You’re not going to sneak up on us like you did last year, Gut Rot. We’ve already won the Glanzer Division!
Butchers at Rehabs
Rich: Butchers are better at hockey, but they don’t have a cheer. So fuck them. Though I think they will win, 4-2. That new guy Jeff will have a hat trick. Why isn’t he an Elf?
Derek: Cherie doesn’t cheer. And I’ll go with Rich: 4-2 Butchers.
Nick: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Eli: Kehoe isn’t walking through that door. Butchers, 3-1.
Poutine at Cobra Kai
Rich: Josh Wilson’s whistle will explode (he’s reffing), and Poutine will win 2-1.
Derek: Nah, I think this will be a relatively clean game. Poutine is on a three-game losing streak, and it continues after a big game from Sebastian.
Nick: Cobra Kai is the class of their division and one of the most well-rounded teams this season. They’ll win 4-2.
Eli: Poutine can’t prevent the Dojo from clinching the Greene Division. Cobra Kai triumphs, 3-2.
Anklebiters at Rainbows
Derek: I predict five write-ups and 3-1 Biters win.
Nick: Rachel Klion gets ejected after Camber Weiss gets checked from behind and she third-man-ins the person responsible. The loss of two heart and soul players will lead to a 3-1 Biters win.
Eli: Okay, which person in that photo is Bernstein? Or Craig? Anklebiters, 4-1.
Mega Touch at Lbs.
Derek: No Mega upset sans Devlin. 4-0 LBS win.
Nick: It will probably be LBS winning here, but it will probably be a closer game than people anticipate. 4-2.
Eli: I don’t really use gchat, so I’ll go with a 4-2 LBS, Inc. win.
Gremlins at WTP
Rich: Corey told me that he is missing this week and so are all his refs. I’ll go with the Gremlins but how tired will Jamie be at 5 p.m. after playing in 4 other games already?
Derek: 3-2 Gremlins.
Nick: John Walker and his 99 leadership rating in NHL 15 will lead the Gremlins to the victory in the sunset game this week. 3-1.
Eli: Richie, Jamie gets better as the day goes along. Gremlins blank What The Puck, 2-0.
