RE-CAP Week 17

Week 17 MOTW = 'the' Halfhill Crusade vs. 'those' Barclay Hill Mollies

-I predicted that the Mollies would win 9-6-3 in a weird pre-all-star weekend motw.

-What’s weird about this week? It’s only 4 days worth of games.

-Should cause a solid amount of randomness, let’s check it out:


(let's do this)

MONDAY:

-Victor Koslov scores a pair for the Mollies…
-…but he scores them on Dany Sabourin, which was the mollies goalie tonight.
-Dany Sabou-tage refuses to stop pucks all night in goal and has a rough time…
-…but Ty Conklin comes in and picks up a few pieces of Sabou’s shattered game.
-Mollies get 6 points, good start.

-After Sabou-tage's performance, Mr. Molly himself wrote: “dany sabourin eat dog shit and buy a plane ticket to tajikistan where you'll hopefully be recruited to run blindfolded over a soviet supplied minefield planted by small schoolchildren.”

-Let me see if I can wrap my head around this concept for a second:


(Dany Sabourin^)

(eat dog shit^)

(buy a plane ticket^)

(to Tajikistan^)

(run blindfolded^)

(through soviet supplied^)

(minefield^)

(planted by small schoolchildren^)

-Good stuff. Dany Sabourin will be a busy man.

-Back to Monday:

-Halfhill gets the first GWG of the week from Cory Stillman, on the pp too.

-Luongo has a ‘meh’ start.
-3 points out of Halfhill tonight, not good.

Conk-Block saves Sam, Mollies win day 1, it’s 1-0

TUESDAY:

-Big night = Mollies, Devils hockey saves them.
-“Coach” Elias gets 3 points and a gwigle, “Pat” Zajac gets 3 assists.
-Zajac is another one of those typical late-bloomer Molly types:

(Zajac/Sajac, same difference)

-All in all the Mollies get 13 points and a 4 star start out of geno nabokov.
-Sam let’s everyone know that Steve Ott has indeed scored a goal:

(Otter! What a human...)

-Halfhill gets a 3 point effort out of Jagr, that’s rare this year I guess.
-Vinny blows up for 2 points BUT 1 was a gwigle and the other was our first shorite of the week (shp that is):

(Yep, that's Marty St. Louis)

(I wish I could have made that, lol)

-Halfhill gets two more meh starts out of his goalies.

Mollies win the day easy, they have a solid 10-6-2 lead going into the final 2 days.

Mollies lead the week 2–0 (days wise)

WEDNESDAY:

-Only a few games

-Mollies have 1 player, Koslov, and he grabs an assist.

-Halfhill has 5 players and a goalie, how did this scheduling advantage slip through my prediction? Because I didn’t look…



(Poor taste? Meh...)

(If you're looking for political correctness...)

(you're in the wrong place, lol...)

-Halfhill gets 3 points, 6 pim’s and a 4**** start out of Little Bobby Luongo.

Halfhill wins the day easy, but it’s still the Mollies in the lead 2-1.

THURSDAY:

-What’s this? Thursday is the last day of the week? I told you the all-star break week is weird. Tonight determines the winner, lets see what went down:

(Thrusday’s are always critical)

-Lecavelier and Jagr are nowhere to be found, Halfhill is stunned:



(stunned)

-Halfhill manages a measly 5 points, but does get a gwigle from knuble. That’s right, it’s a gwigle-knuble, try to say that more than twice.
-To Matt’s credit, he only sat 1 point on the night, his team just didn’t show up.
-Brodeur gets a bad start, serves him right.

-Every Molly did something tonight. 11 points total but even the bench had 10 points.
-Derek Roy, “De-Ro”, gwigles it up for molly, but the Mollies only manage 3 ppp.
-Geno Nabokov gets a critical-killer start, but the Conk-meister messes it up with a sub-par outing.

Mollies win the final day easily, they win the days count 3-1.

Final score of the matchup is: 10-6-2 Mollies win.


-I predicted 9-6-3, not bad eh?

(R.L. Stine Ladies and Gentleman...)

-Bone corp predicted a 9-7-2 win for Halfhill:

(should have done your homework kim, lol, I kid of course)

Observations from the MOTW:

-The Mollies had 31 points after 4 days, they were on pace for 50 points, too bad.
-Matt didn’t sit many points, in fact, it was Sam who sat the most points.
-Goalie #’s were very close, I thought Matt would take most, it was a wash.
-Did you feel something move? It’s the standings:

("I think it moved")

-New MOTW to come Sunday or so…

-I think this was my best Recap so far, your thoughts Eddie?

(He has no idea)

-Leave comments if you would like to discuss the Mollies vs. Halfhill matchup.

-I'll be there until next time, ladies...

good stuff Bob...

the short week saved Mollies (no offense Mollies, you know I'm rooting for you)...to Bob's earlier prediction, Halfhill's goalies are too good and over the long run, will always be better than Mollies...as such, in a 7 day week, I predict Halfhill would have taken this 9-8-1...give Matt a few more days and he would have taken GAA and wins...not to mention ppp, ppa, ppg, and assists perhaps...

good time for Mollies to play Matt for sure...Mollies is sporting low injuries right now (only Stumpel out of the lineup) while Matt is missing Smyth, Bergeron, Zubov and Connelly...

playoffs are looking oh so interesting...

I'm not sure matt would have caught up with the Mollies in the offensive stats, but you're probably right about the goalie cats.

Sam was on a 50 pace, and Matt's team was both injured and cold (5 points on thursday, and 1 on his bench?). I think sam would have held on, but it would have been close, probably 8-7 or something.

My team is so frustrating. I played Cobra and then Hoquet, so here's my chance to jump up in the standings and secure something right? Nope. I lost to cobra 8-6 when they played out of their minds and then Dan plays them and wins 16-0! Bad luck here. Then I play Hoquet and barely crawled away with an 9-8 win. From now on, the only 'weak' team I play is WI3, everyone else are teams that are still in it.

It's do or die time.

WOW, I didn't realize we have 6 or 7 weeks left?!? Yikes...
