-It was an unprecedented move the likes of which have never been seen before.
-Votes were cast, it was clear what the people wanted…and the winner is:
-It’s nice to get some new blood into the blog, Mario was overdue for a MOTW spot but his schedule had been weak.
-The Mollies were in the last 3 MOTW’s and BC was in the 2 before that so it’s nice to give them both a breather before they undoubtedly get more.
-Anyhow, Mario’s team is good. Dan’s team is good. This MOTW should be good by default.
-Dan’s team is shifty. One moment they’re in the basement, the next they’re in 3rd the next they’re on the bubble with all the other fringe teams.
-Mario’s team has been fighting around the bubble all year and only recently pushed up into a playoff position, even got as high as 4th. But once teams took notice to the Militia’s success things have slowed down for MM:
(There they are)
-Lets check out the stats in this matchup:-Mario has the best power play in the league, I think he’ll win power play stats.
-Reed’s non pp #’s are better, so I’ll give him those.
-Mario should win faceoffs, pims and maybe even shp.
-Dan should take shots, and +/-
-Gwigs are up for grabs as usual, they’re a wash.
-If you look at goalie %’s these two teams are literally almost identical, so they’re a wash too.
-Mario should take wins and saves out of brute force and sheer numbers.
-Mario has some injury problems: Horcoff, Zednik, Forsberg, Stasny, Cleary, Hasek, and Nylander are all hurt…ouch. Although Kotalik returned today and Stasny might this week…still, it’s rough.
-Injuries, sminjuries. Mario has Malkin, that’s like having 3 good players.
Malkin-Blog:
(Pete!)
(Best player in the world right now)
(And a Flyer killer, what more is there to ask?)
[/Malkin-Blog]
-12 points last week for Malkin, whats to come this week for Militia? More of the same.-Enough babble, prediction please Mr. Carson:
(Prediction ready in envelope form)
-Even with the injuries Mario will pull this one off 10-6-2.
-Reed is left scrambling to trade his team away for future help:
(YES, thank God for photoshop!)
-Militia pushes on towards their first playoffs birth:
(Do it, dude)
-Let it be known people, if Militia misses the playoffs it will be because of injuries and injuries alone.
Lemieux’s League news:
-Records. Sam broke one. 232 faceoffs won.
-The records page at the website got an overhaul.
-Some records like GWG’s have been added, along with some year long goalie record stuff for good measure.
-More records to come, mostly ones relative to the MOTW. Got any ideas?
-You can tell which records I added because there is no record holder for them.
-The team with the most GWG’s this week gets the record, let the great race begin!
-Zoom and Marko have updated trade blocks, anyone feeling the mood to start the trade deadline fealing off a bit early?
-Dan picks up Darcy Tucker, Dan hates no player more than Tucker so there was apparently no one else to pick up.
-Tyler Arnason is a Molly again. Random guy approves:
(R.G.)
-13 points separates 4th through 9th place.
-This is really the first year where more than 7 teams had at a shot at the playoffs at the end of the reg season, it’s getting more intense each week too.
-Farls Regime does the unthinkable and sets a new season 3 points record in a week by putting up a 57 burger and dropping a browner on the league message board.
-How did Regime do it? Got rid of or demoted the geezers on the team, like I used to. Another pep talk from Coach Hines didn’t hurt either:
(“It’s a hee-haw factory in here with the jackasses”)
-Regime scored 22 goals last week, only 3 shy of the record 25 set by Capretto’s Fins last year.
-Zoom, Kim, and Farls benefited most from the offensive explosion that was the Senators last week:
(Spezza was the NHL's #1 star last week, he put up 11 points in 3 games)
-That’s all for this week.
-MOTWBlog keeps it real like Guy Herbert:
(Mighty Ducks, lol)
-Got a prediction? Go up against mine, I’m usually wrong.
