Weekly Crosscheck Vol. 2, #5
October 30, 2006
Pucknut back again for more gloating.
Yes, the Fenton Pucknuts continue to win and are slowly climbing out of the cellar and into the mix of top teams who seem to be taking turns bring in first place of the Southern division. This week it is the Ice Bat who, as predicted, batted around the Monks and are one point ahead of the Sublimators in the Southern division. Helped by the tricks from Sid the Kid and Tomas Kaberle the Bats also set the season record for goals (19) in a week. The only record set this week, although many others came close. The Monks are now cleaning out the basement as a result of this defeat.
My highlighted matchup of the week between Camo and Sublimators turned into a blowout. Although Camo continued to dominate in goaltending their failure to meet the minimum requirents led to a thrashing that dropped them out of first place in the Northern division. The Sublimators are now poised to make a run for first in the South.
The Spankers did indeed suffer from the light schedule and posted their worst performance of the season. The A-Team were the ones doing the spanking this week which is the only fitting way to treat a Philly fan. The loss dropped the Spankers to 3rd while A-Team jumped into first place of the North.
As predicted, 5 for Fighting moved out of the basement in dramatic fashion by running all over SenStanley. SenStanley even checked in this week, but seems to have run away in shame rather than fixing his lineup. In the last matchup Spezztacular managed to move over the .500 mark while Sabreswinthecup continue their slow decent to the bottom of the Southern division.
Week 5 Matchup
Pucknuts vs Spankers
This is the matchup of the as the last year’s top two teams meet up again in a grudge match. Can the Pucknuts continue their winning ways or will the Spankers turn their team around after last weeks humiliating effort? It will be a close week, but the Pucknuts, of course, will take the victory.
Ice Bats vs Take Off Eh
The Ice Bats try to hold onto their slim lead while Take Off Eh attempts to get their team to, well, take off. They may be near the bottom of the standings, but they have always kept the scoring close so I’m calling for an upset with Take Off Eh winning by a narrow margin. The REAL competition this week will be for the PIM category. The Bats are in first overall and Take Off Eh is second.
Sublimators vs Monks
Can the Ranger’s continue to romp on the West Coast and help the lowly Monks return to form? Not this week. The Sublimators will easily take the week and make a play for first place in the Southern division.
5 For Fighting vs A-Team
After sleep walking to an easy win over SenStanley, 5 for Fighting will be brought back to reality with a tough match against A-Team who are trying to hold onto first place. Look for a close matchup with the A-Team winning while keeping a close eye o the scoreboard to see if Camo can leap frog into first.
Sabreswinthecup vs SenStanley
Looks like its Sabreswinthecup’s week for some easy wins. They will maintain their lead over the last place Monks while SenStanley reaffirms their role as the joke of the league.
Spezztacular vs Camo
Camo will make their comeback this week and try to move back ahead of A-Team and into first place, but don’t count out Spezztacular. I predict Camo will win, but not by as large a margin as they would hope. The race for first will remain close.
So put on your game face (and your helmet hair), it’s week 5!
That is all.
