Weekly Crosscheck Vol. 2, #4
October 27, 2006
Greetings all! Pucknut here filling in for Winnipeg Johnny.
I’ll start off by apologizing for the delayed Crosscheck (I guess that would be called charging). I have been busy enjoying the success of my team last week. After being called out in last weeks Crosscheck the Pucknuts have turned things around and are ready to steamroll into first place. When they win the cup again, remember it all started with a thrashing of the Monks.
The Bats were correct that they didn’t stand a chance against the Sublimators goaltending despite putting up respectable numbers, but underestimated how well they would do offensively. Take Off Eh put up some decent numbers, but were upset by the A-Team in a week that was much closer than the final score indicates. 5 For Fighting and Spezztacular showed us that they both suck pretty equally. Camo ran away with it this week it a highly offensive matchup with Sabreswinthecup that featured some of the worst goaltending we’ve seen this season (1/3.39/.870 to sweep goalie stats?!?)
Records continue to fall as teams are finding their stride. The Spankers and Camo matched the goal record with 18. Pucknuts and Take Off Eh set a new record with 32 assists. The Spankers are picking up where they left off last season and set new highs with 21 PP points and 173 shots. The most impressive feat of the season that is unlikely to be beat is the Sublimators with 5 wins, 1.26 GAA and 0.956 coming from the combined work of Giguere, Garon, and Fernandez.
Looking at the standings, Camo continue to stretch their lead of the Northern division while the Spankers move into first place in the South.
Week 4 Matchup
Pucknuts vs Take Off Eh
The Pucknuts have retooled their lineup and will continue their run to the top of the division. Expect Take Off Eh to claim a couple categories, but the end result will be another lopsided Pucknut win.
Ice Bats vs Monks
The Ice Bats have finally claimed the PIM lead and will look to make a run at first. As the Rangers go, so will the Monks and the Rangers are having a slow start. Bats take the win.
Sublimators vs Camo
Camo is the team to beat right now, but the Sublimators have the hottest goaltending in the league. This is the matchup of the week and won’t be determined until the last day. Camo will continue their win streak by a small margin of victory.
Spankers vs A-Team
Another close matchup, but can the Spankers overcome their light schedule? This one will be a draw and allow other teams to leap frog these two in the standings.
5 For Fighting vs SenStanley
Another matchup to determine who sucks less. Can 5 For Fighting take another week and get out of the basement? This week they’ll do it.
Sabreswinthecup vs Spezztacular
Both teams are falling in the standings. Here’s an opportunity for one of them to delay the inevitable for another week.
That is all.
