Week 21 MOTW

-Finally, a matchup among a few of the top teams.

-1 vs 3 this week, no way to dance around the obvious, it’s:

#1 Bone Corporation vs. #3 The Barclay Hill Mollies.

-The Mollies have risen from the dead, remember when they were in 12th? Since then BHM has won 5 straight and 7 of 8.

-Before a weird tie with Hoquet last week, Bone Corp had been on a 4 game win streak.

-Both teams are playing well, both teams are looking to ride it into the playoffs, but both teams can’t win this week.

-What do the numbers say?

-Mollies win faceoffs easily this week, no-brainer.

-BC is better at scoring goals, BHM is better at setting them up, and points should be a wash (PP and even strength).

-Both teams are dirty (PIM wise) but BC has somehow only lost in this cat 5 times, so I’ll give them the edge.

-Mollies should take shots and shp, but gwigles will be a wash as usual.

-BC should take +/- based on the totals, but I’m giving it to BHM, why you ask?

>>>>>>>> NEW LEAGUE RECORD <<<<<<<<<

-Bone Corporation set a league record last week for the worst +/- in one week with a stunning -22 performance. Ouch.

-Something has gone terribly awry w/BC’s +/-, I don’t think it’ll be a quick fix for this week so BHM takes +/-.

-BTW, the previous record for worst +/- was -19 by Mario's Militia, and they still hold the season long mark for worst +/-.

-Goalie wise, BC never gets wins, but they should get saves this week. I like Ty Conklin to carry BHM this week in the goalie %’s, the guy has the best save % in the league.

-So what does this all amount to?



-Mollies win the matchup 10-5-3.

-Bone Corp is left wondering if their Cinderella season has seen better days, or something like that.

Lemieux’s League news:

-Trade deadline is not this Thursday but next Thursday, the 28th.

-The playoff picture got a lot clearer after last week. The top 6 have distanced themselves a bit, but a few teams can still jump in from the bottom 6.
-As I mentioned before, Bone Corp set a new record for the worst +/- in one week, record page to be updated shortly.
-4 or maybe even 5 teams set a "GWG’s in one week" record with 3 a piece. Rather than write everyone in I’ll just wait until someone gets 4, it should happen before the end of the year.
-I think I’ll add playoffs matchup records to the record page. Only a few new records though, we can’t crowd it up too much, lol.
-Hoquet and BHM might be working on a dealio…
-The Mollies have expressed interest in moving Danny ‘Paleforce’ Briere, any interested takers should contact Mr. Wengryn asap.
-Cobra stopped setting his lineups, league managers have grown concerned.
-BHM says Jonathan Cheechoo is good. I miss the Ceech and Guch days…


-That’s all for this week.

-MOTWBlog keeps it real:



-Like Kenny Wregget.
