-A quick history lesson for the noob-ulites=
(Fun while it lasted...but mostly gay)
-They became the Farls Regime a few months later due to the lack of bad ass qualities in the Whaler name:
(I just needed something more intimidating)
-But what was the second franchise in league history you ask?
-None other than these very same Barclay Hill Mollies.
-I could go on and say that this rivalry is on par with the Yankees/Red Sox, Steelers/Browns, Penguins/Flyers, Pirates/themselves, etc, but I won’t.
-I won’t because this isn’t your normal rivalry, folks.
-The only time I HATE the Mollies is when I play them, and this is only because I have never beat them.
NEVER
-0 wins, 5 loses. Embarassing. It has to change.
-This week it’s the Regime against the world, and literally against all odds. Do you believe in miracles?
-Seriously though, when I’m not playing against these Mollies, I like to root for them, they’re always such a weird group and I can’t help myself. How can you not?
(Molly, what a kanine...)
(It was cold in the basement)
-So what we got here is a game with HUGE playoff implications and a good old rivalry matchup too.
-Sounds good to me.
-But who will win?
-I’d LOVE to say Farls wins 18-0 on his way to regaining a playoff spot and then a top 2 bye spot, but I’m a realist:
-Mollies goalies > Regime’s goalies
-Mollies specialties > Regime’s specialties
(based on head-to-head #’s)
(Yeah, I’m in trouble.)
-If Ty Conklin regains his form, then I’m toast, but if he continues the mini-funk he is in then I could be gold with Mr. Niittymaki.
-Simply put, for my Regime to win offensive cats I need the Mollies to not show up and I need Selanne to play. Chances aren’t good for that.
-Injury wise, both teams look good, but that NA next to Selanne means he is not gonna help me, so he might as well have a broken leg:
(Please come back...)
-I say Mollies win offensive stats, face offs, PIM’s and shots.
-When you look at the stat totals for this matchup, something alarming pops out. There is only 5 stat categories that Farls has a higher total of than the Mollies have:
(Farls = Shocked)
-I blame Paul ‘Power’ Ranger mostly, and the 'Adventures of Rusty n’ Steve’ debacle.
-Let me throw out a prediction:
(survey says...)
-I predict that the Mollies will win 10-7-1, and as usual they beat Regime.
-There’s just not enough that tells me it will change now.
-Regime wins the 5 cats I mentioned that he is somehow better at, maybe grabs a few other lucky ones, but other than that, Mollies win big.
(I'll be damned if we don't go down w/o a fight...)
Lemieux’s League News:
-Johnny Oduya is the newest Molly:
(Oduya pic here is a must)
-Farls finally shafts Stoll, this time in favor of 1st rounder Sam Gagner, jealousy over Mueller and Backstrom flowing freely over at Regime HQ.
-Sandis Ozolinsh is still kicking it, zoom picks him up.
-Reed traded Campolli to Zoom last week, now Campolli is out for the year. Dan’s response? “I’m a cheater”:
(Haitian Voodoo, this isn't the first time we've caught him...)
-Dan loses 1-17 last week, cries about it, then wins this week 16-0, maybe I should cry…
-Matt refers to sam as Samuel "Halfhill can't beat me" Wengryn, a 'true statement' as Dan would say.
-Dudes, Zoom won last week. He also gave us a look at the new standings:
(:: round of applause for Zoom ::)
-Mario sits in 6th, oh yeah, his team has that Malkin guy:
(GE-NO!)
-Marko has been diligently Dumping and Chasing all year, now he sits in 4th, well done.
-Check out the league’s forum, it’s solid: http://lemieuxsleague.proboards61.com/index.cgi
-Regime Firesale just around the corner, it will be unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
-That’s all I got for now, comment on here or even at the league page if you prefer.
-Keeping it real:
-like Eddie Shore, old school hockey style.
