Week 20 RECAP

-The week 20 MOTW was #5 Mario's Militia vs. #6 Reed Dynasty

-I said Mario would win this matchup 10-6-2, and you can throw MM’s injuries out the window.

REED

VS

MARIO

(Shown above: ECHL powerhouse Billy Irish-Baker)

(He drops the ceremonial puck and we're underway on this motw)

Here's an overview of the important things that happened:

MONDAY:

-1 NHL game, neither team has much to show from the day.

(Monday is brought to you by Thom Yorke’s eye)

TUESDAY:

-Reed’s Osgood has perhaps the worst goalie start out of anyone all year, take a gander at these #’s:

20.42 GAA and .250 save %

(Thanks to johnweng28, lol)

-Offensively RD grabs 6 points and a game winner from Jerome Gwiginla:

-Whats this? Trent Hunter?? Hunter does the unimaginable and gets 3 points for MM.

WEDNESDAY:

-Reed does little on the night. 1 point from Lucic, and that’s it. Wideman grabs 6 pims and a +1.

-Mario, ouch, 2 points out of an almost full lineup. Malkin gets a ppa, 5 shots, and 13 faceoffs.

THURSDAY:

-This guy:


(2 assists for Reed)

-Man Legace with a monster start, Dan really needed it.

-Mario laughs at Dan’s goalies and gets 2 killer starts; one from Garon and one from Bryzgalov.

-Marty St. Louis gets 3 points on the night for Mario, he’s small:

(Cheap shot)

FRIDizzle:

-Osgood = Osbad, another awful start for him. This guy is having an awful week for Reed, nothing is going right.
-Osgood can’t buy a win; geez even the Whalers won some times:

(Ron Francis!)

-Nothing much to report on Mario’s side of the mathcup; a few points but nothing special.
-Militia needs PIM’s, word is Peter Worrell has been contacted:

(PETE)

-Reed is down in this matchup 13-2-5, but a lot of cats are close…except the goalies stats…again, osgood’s at fault here easily.

-Neither team is doing much offensively, but whatev, the show must go on.

SATURDAY:

-Reed negates Hunter’s stunning 3 point effort by getting a 3 point effort out of Darcy Tucker.
-Man Legace has a good start, but no win, Dan is pissed.


-No one really stands out for Militia on the night, but he manages 8 points.
-Mario has pretty much sealed up the matchup at this point.


SUNDAY:

-Mario’s Markov and Malkin combine for 5 points.

-Man Legace with another killer start for Reed, but it’s just too late.

-This one’s over.

-Mario wins the week 20 MOTW 13-2-3.

-I predicted that Mario would win 10-6-2, so I was off by 3 wins and a tie or so.

-But were did my guess go wrong?

-I said Reed would win the non pp #’s, he didn’t.

-I said Reed would take shots, he lost by 20, lol.

-I didn’t think Mario would take GA in addition to Wins and Saves, but he swept all of them.


*** 3 Stars of this MOTW ***

1* = Bryzgalov (MM) – 2 wins, 7 GA, and other sick #’s
2 ** = Garon (MM) – 2 wins, 7 GA, and other slightly less sick #’s
3 *** = Man Legace (RD) – Played his little heart out, but alas, Reed won 0 goalie stats.

-3 star goalie sweep? Sure.

-Look out for Mario’s Militia:

-New MOTW tomorrow.
-We'll see what records were set.
