-Because I get confused:
-Barclay Hill Mollies will be in Orange, like the flames on their helmet:
(Solid look for BHM)
-Bone Corp will be in Pink, like…well:
(Bone Corp needs a helmet)
-Before the recap begins, let’s recap what I wrote in the motw:-I predicted that the Mollies would win, 10-5-3.
-I said “Bone Corp is left wondering if their Cinderella season has seen better days…”
-Cinderalla was probably not the best way to describe BC, but the reality is they were the 12th place team from last year (ol’ Stone Ponies for you league vets out there).
-But this is Justin Kim’s Bone Corp franchise now, and they seem headed towards some greener pastures so far in this league.
-Would they find any pastures of success this week? Here’s a few highlights of the motw that was:
MONDAY:
(Let the battle begin)
-“Pat” Zajac gets 2 points for le clube de Molly:
(Pardon my French)
-Sam pens what might be the best new nick-name of the season. Please meet Agro-Craig Rivet (named after the ‘Agrokrag’ found in Nickelodeon’s Guts show from the 90’s).
(Guts! There's the Agrokrag in the background)
-Agro-Craig nets an assist on the night for Molly, what a nick-name.
-Danny Carcillo gets 17 pims for Bone. BC is hell bent on having former Regime players which has everything to do with why they sit in 1st place right now.
TUESDAY:
-Phaneuf, Mollies MVP? 2 goals, +3 and a fighting major on the night. Killer.
-Ty Conk-Block-city, good start all-around for BHM’s top netminder.
-Eric “Gunner” Staal gets 2 points, Ray Emery matches Conklin’s fine start.
Wednesday:
-Slow day for BC, they were nowhere to be found:
-Elias and Roy get 2 a piece for BHM. Nabokov FINALLY doesn’t play in a game.
THURSDAY:
-Choochoo gets a hat-trick, that might be the lamest nick-name of the year. He also nets a gwigle for Molly:
-Jason Argonott nets 2 points for BC, both on the power play.
-When Jason Arnott scoring is your biggest story of the day then you know your team isn’t having its best week.
FRIDAY:
-Bone Captain Brendan Morrow has a HUGE night. 2 points, a gwig and a shortie.
(shortie)
-Nothing going on for the Mollies, the team was busy teaching Hobo’s how to pull rickshaws:
("Run down the street, make the turn, and come back.")
SATURDAY:-Everyone shows up for the Mollies, 12 points on the night. Roy and Fro-love with 2 point games.
-Bone Corp doesn’t go down without a fight. Eric Staal gets 3 and a gwig, Rick Nash gwig’s it too and ‘C’ Brendan Morrow has a 4 point night with a +5. +5 because he got nothin’ on the pp, ouch…
-Emery with a great start and win over the Pens, can BC catch the Mollies from behind?
SUNDAY:
-King Henry gets a shutout for bone and a ‘Win-cat-tying’ Win to soften the impending defeat.
-Mollies win.
-Game.
-My prediction was off because I thought the Mollies would lose goals and then they dominated it (pp goals too). Also I thought Bone would lose +/- but they took it by 1 on the last day. Also, Bone, how could you lose pim’s on me?
OBSERVATIONS ON THE MOTW:
-For the first time in their history, the Mollies broke the 50 point bearier as they put up a 54 burger on the #1 team in the standings.
-22 goals for BHM, 3 short of the record of 25.
-Bone Corp put up 4 giwgles.
-That shutout win by King Henry on the last day might allow BC to hold a bye week position heading into the playoffs, HUGE.
-Mollies were record hunters this week. 180 shots (5 shy of the record), 22 goals (3 shy of the record), and 231 faceoffs won (1 shy of the record).
*** 3 STARS OF THE MOTW ***
1* = Pat-trick Elias (BHM) – 6 points, 2 on the pp, faceoff winning LW.
2** = ‘C’ Brendan Morrow (BC) – 6 points, +5 that one night, 1 shp, and 1 gwg.
3*** = Dion ‘Jack Lambert on skates’ Phaneuf (BHM) – 3 points, tons of pims, shots and +/-.
-How about something new?
TOP 5 REASONS WHY BONE CORP LOST:
(5) Toby Enstrom. What happened to this guy? He did zilch all week.
(4) Bone Corp’s lack of a helmet for a yahoo page logo.
(3) Sergei Federov. See Tobias Enstrom ^
(2) Agro-Craig Rivet was too much nick-name for Bone Corp to handle.
...and...
(1) BC played the Mollies.
(Still comin' from behind on the top teams)
-New MOTW tomorrow.-Enjoy a little Marc Bergevin until then:

Another great analysis by you farls. I have been very busy lately since I started a new job so I haven't had much time to look over my daily fantasy sites. All I have been doing is basically setting my lines up.
Might see a trade from me @ the deadline but I feel comfortable with the team that brought me here.
As for last week, I just got hammered. Hopefully I can avoid a 2 game losing skid. Once again, doing a great job with these blogs. I love reading em lol.
