RECAP 18 (the edited version)

Week 18 MOTW: Barclay Hill Mollies (BHM) vs. Farls Regime (FR) VI

Remember, Mollies are 5-0 all time against the Regime.

The Mollies are known for winning rivalry matchups and losing playoff matchups, among other things...

Would things change this time for the Regime?

Could the curse of Molly end? Answer to come...

MONDAY:

-All-Star break still:



(no games, nah)

-Arturs Irbe wins day 1 just because he can.

(Just for the hell of it)

TUESDAY:

-Nab-ster owns, gets a shutout for Molly off the bat.
-Conklin shuts down the Devils for a 4****-star start.
-Mollies offense is be-bopping and skit-skatting; they get 9 points led by De-Ro’s 2.

-Regime welcomes you to Pomminville:

(3 points for the ‘Mayor of Pomminville’)


-Regime keeps pace with Molly; 8 points on the day and a killer start out of Mr. Biron.
-Vanek. GWG.



-Mollies win day two thanks to the SHO; it’s 1-0 BHM’s.

Wednesday:

-The Mollies ‘killer’ goalie combo of Nabby and Conk-Block muster up a combined 9 GA on the day, ouch.
-Cheechoo does something? He scores a goal and he’s smilin’ like a butchers dog.
-Mollies get a solid 6 point offering by the end of the day.

-Regime also gets 6 points, 2 from PM Bouchard.
-Niklas Wacky Tobbac-strom gives Regime the edge with a killer 4**** start.

-Regime wins day three thanks to the Minnesota Wild, it’s 1-1.

-Close matchup so far, could the Regime actually win one?

THURSDAY:

-Dan Hamhuis, 2 points for the Mollies??? What gives?
-Victor Koslov gets 3 points, Savard gets 2, Mollies are cookin' beans.
-Mollies end up with 9 more points.

-Regime can only muster 4 points on the day, 3 of which are from the Traveling Kostitsyn bros. Circus, they were solid all week.
-Jason La-Barbarian gets a real strong start for the Regime, but Niitty pees himself and puts up some miserable #’s.

-Mollies win Thursday, they’re up 2 days to 1.

FRIDAY:

-Derek Roy adds another 2 assists, Mollies are racking up points this week.
-Oduya. Assist.

(Johnny O-"how do ya"-duya, er whatever it was that Sam came up with)

-Pomminville scores for Regime; he showed up this week in a big way.
-2 points for Regime, this is easily the worst offensive unit Farls has ever had the pleasure of putting together. Selanne, no where to be found:

(Dude, help!?!)

-Neither team did anything, lets move on.

SATURDAY:

-11 point night for BHM.
-Kovie scores a sick goal for Molly, he smokes DiPietro like a bad cigar. Kovalev also grabs a shp, critical.
-BHM's Conk-meister gets another killer start, he’s on fire:

(Pensblog)

-Nabokov has a good start too, but is it enough to conquer Regime in goalie stats?

-NOPE. Marty. Biron. Shutout.
-Marty Biron fights off the waves to keep the Regime ship afloat:


(The Sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup to a deli.)

-Backstrom too has a top notch start, but he gave up a goal so…I had to mention Biron first.
-Regime loses none of the goalie stats, only a tie in SHO prevents the total sweep.
-But, Farls only gets 4 points, 0 on the pp, disgusting. 14 pims though…

-Mollies had a better day thanks to their offense, it’s 3-1 BHM.

SUNDAY:


-MOTW is 9-7, Mollies in the lead. If Regime can manage to get a goal, then he takes the goal cat lead, ties the matchup at 8-8 and wins the tiebreaker to break the curse…

-A PPG will give either team a commanding lead in the matchup, yep, it’s that close.

-There’s only one game in the NHL today: NYR @ MON.

-Mollies have Kovalev and Hamrlik looking for goals.

-Regime has the Kostitsyn family circus, and oft goal-scorer Shanahan. Could Shanny deliver the curse-breaker?

-NOPE. The bastard's a scratch in the game to take some time off with his bum knee.

-Shanahan = major disappointment this year for FR:

(At least he was once a Whaler)

-For those who don’t believe in the curse of this matchup, here’s the proof. One of my top goal scores (Shanny) is a scratch the day that I need a goal to break the curse.

-A few minutes into the NYR/MON game, the Regime boat sinks:

(teeth?)

-Kovalev scores, on the power play, has Elvis just left the building?

-Regime = stunned:


(stunned and shocked)

-BUT!

-Sergei Kostitsyn gets a penalty shot on the pp and...cashes in:


(WOW! Dirt. Ball.)

-1 more goal by the Regime and the curse ends…....

-………..not to be this time, folks. Clock runs out on the last game, Regime's goal is no where to be found.

-Both teams do the same on Sunday, the day is considered a draw by the judges.

-Mollies win the day count, 3-1.

-The curse continues. Mollies win the motw 8-7-3.


-I predicted 10-6 Mollies, so I was slightly off, not bad.


Observations on the MOTW:

-Where was Spezza?
-Where was pale-force Briere?




-Mollies lead the league with 40 points this week.
-The Mollies put up 27 assists this week, the Regime put up 25 points this week, ugh.
-A Search team was set out to find the Regime's offense which has been missing since last season:


(Hasn't turned up anything yet...)

-Selanne should be back next week for FR.
-Only one gwigle in this motw, lame.
-Regime Assistant Coach Hines had some choice words for the squad after the loss to BHM:

(listen up ya buncha jack-knobs, score more or I'll light you on fire)

-Remind me that I'm 0-6 all-time against the Mollies the next time I am pollishing off my hardware and see how much I care about the curse:

3 STARS OF THE MOTW ***

1* Alexei Kovalev (BHM) - 3 goals, 2 ppg, a ton of shots, and a shp.

2** Derek Roy (BHM) - 5 points, a ton of faceoffs, and a butt load of assists.

3*** Marty Biron (FR) - A critical SHO, 2 wins, and some dominating %'s and #'s.

-New MOTW tomorrow.
