MOTW-Blog: Recap of Round 2

-Will these 2 Underdog/Cinderella seasons continue or will the ball end early?

-The Bone Corp and the Mollies are back from their bye weeks ready to get back at it.

-Lets start the playoff conversation off with #1 Bone Corp taking on #5 Dump and Chasers.

-I liked the way D+C was playing but I didn’t think they would have enough to beat BC. My guess was a final score of 10-6-2, Bone over the Dump.

-Bone Corp picked apart the Dump like they had been in 15 playoff matches before this one.

-Bone Corp was all over the Chasers early and often, they let up a bit late but by then the matchup was there’s and they were waiting to see who would play them in the finals.

-If each playoff matchup in this league consisted of a ‘7 game series’ with each day of the 7 day week equaling one game, then the Bone Corp would have been ‘that team’ that beat you in 4 or 5 games and was waiting for the other 2 teams to finish up.

-This one wasn’t all that close, Bone Corp pretty much had it all the way, they win this one 12-4-2.

-Nash and Mueller both had 5 points, and Hemsky put up 6 assists for Bone.

-The other playoff matchup is the #2 Barclay Hill Mollies vs #6 Farls Regime part VII

-If you didn’t know that the Regime is cursed against the Mollies (0-6 all time) then this is either your first time at this blog or you have been hiding in a cave for the past 6 months of the fantasy hockey season.

-It was prophesized last year by myself that the Regime would not break the curse until they were in a playoff matchup against these very Mollies.

-My reasoning was that the Regime’s bad voodoo against the Mollies would be offset by my good luck in the postseason.

-After the first 3 days of the matchup, I was right, and the Regime was all over the poor Mollies.

-Mollies GM Sam Wengryn was ready to throw in the towel already. Sources say Molly herself was so upset that she ‘allegedly’ spoke to a few ‘potential’ ‘replacement’ ‘candidates’:

(Morty Seinfeld has been linked as a possible replacement candidate)

-The Regime was quick to point out that we were not yet at Thursday, which is considered by many to be the midway point of the fantasy Hockey week.

-I guess I should mention by now that I picked the Mollies to win this one 11-5-3.

-Not a very good prediction.

-The Mollies EXPLODED with 12 points on Thursday and suddenly both teams were back to square one.

-Friday and Saturday went by and both teams were tied at 8 going into the final day on Sunday.

-Call Sunday game 7 cause this was what it was all about.

-Problem for the Mollies is that they have 1 player on their Sunday lineup, and that’s Paleforce Danny Briere.

-Regime had a solid lineup comprised of Secret Agent Patrick Sharp, Andrew Ladd-er, Kimmo ‘Flock of Seagulls’ Timonen, Mike Dot-Comrie, and Andy ‘don’t call me Ronald’ McDonald.

-All Regime had to do is make sure their 5 players match what Briere produces on the night and they would win the matchup and move on.

-Briere hasn’t had a 3 point night in 2 months, what are the chances he has one now? Apparently very good. Briere gets 1 goal and 2 assists, Farls = Stunned.

-HOWEVER, Andrew Ladd got an assist, Patrick Sharp got and assist and Kimmo Timonen assisted on Briere’s goal.

-This of course means that the Regime….

(WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!!!)

-Final score is Regime over the Mollies (finally) 8-7-3.

-The prophecy was true, the curse has ended, and the Lemieux Cup beckons.
