Week 11 Preview: Part I
GOTW: Rehabs at Filthy Gorgeous (by Richie)
After Filthy’s domination against the Tuques and their social media campaign to get James P. the first star…of course we are making them Game of the Week.
Filthy has been both Jekyll and Hyde this season. They’ve gotten obliterated by the Elves and Fresh Kills making them look like a minor league club. But then they kill the Lbs. and the Tuques making them look like a contender.
Nice goal Black Rob, but was it worth the awkward high-five snub?
I would think not.
Predictions
Rich: Will Filthy be Jekyll or Hyde, and which one is it good to be? I gotta go with the Rehabs on this one, since $h0wT!m3 was Filthy’s goalie in their two big victories. Rehabs win it 3-2.
Eli: Good Filthy Gorgeous shows up and they cruise past the Rehabs, 5-2.
Derek: The Rehabs have been rather two-faced this season themselves. After an extremely strong start, they have now lost four in a row. Make it five, as James P. goes off again. 4-2 Filthy.
Math at Riots (by Richie)
June was a rough month for Math as Michelle, Cherie and Becks all left Math because they aren’t good at hockey.
Richie’s Pick: Roxy and Amy will decide to stay after Math beats the Riots 3-1.
Derek’s Pick: “…left Math because they aren’t good at hockey.” Because Math isn’t good at hockey, or those three girls aren’t? Please don’t answer.
Rich’s Not-Answer: Don’t get me in trouble, Derk. You know what I meant.
Gut Rot at Gremlins (by Richie)
Time for new uni’s Gremmies. We have a zero tolerance policy for Zog shirts.
Rich’s Prediction: If you like soccer and good pitching, this is the game to see. Jamie vs. Eric will be a fun matchup and Eric will prevail 1-0 in a shootout.
Eli: Gremlins prevail in a low-scoring affair, 2-1.
Derek: This would be an ideal candidate for a scoreless tie (if we still had those). Since ties don’t exist these days, I’ll take a 1-0 win for Gut Rot in a shootout.
Cobra Kai at Butchers (by Richie)
This definitely could have been GOTW if we didn’t make CK GOTW last game. They will come back down to Earth as they lose 4-3 to the Butchers.
Eli: The Butchers squeeze past Cobra Kai, 3-2, in overtime, in this battle of division leaders.
Derek: Butchers continue to roll with a 4-2 win.
Sky Fighters at LBS, Inc. (by Richie)
These teams are eerily similar. Both are former champs, both have a very strong team D with good/solid girls. The Sky Fighters have the edge in game planning as Hopper is just a tad better than Noelle at strategy. But the Lbs. have a more stable goalie situation. I’ll take the Lbs. 3-2 in this one.
Eli: LBS, Inc. added Noelle? I was going to pick the Sky Fighters in an upset, but that changes things…LBS, Inc. 4, Sky Fighters 2.
Rich: Dammit! I was rushed.
Derek: During the the Sky Fighters’ offseason pizza party, Dan Hopper rolled a die to determine who would go downstairs to pay the delivery boy. Unfortunately, he rolled a one meaning Mark Bloom would have to go downstairs…and thus began, the Sky Fighters’ darkest timeline. 4-1 LBS.
