Weekly Crosscheck Vol. 2, #8

November 21, 2006

Hi Everybody! Winnipeg Johnny here to inform you via another exciting edition of the Weekly Crosscheck.

A pretty good week all-around last week. I didn’t call them all right, but I came pretty close. The Ice Bats and Pucknuts won both their matchups and are tied with a league leading 88 points. The Spankers finally woke up much to the Sublimators dismay. The Monks beat Take Off Eh. The A-Team just squeaked by Spezztacular, but Camo lost to Sen Stanley, fulfilling my prediction that the A-Team would take the lead in the Northern Division.

New Records:
It was both a good week and a bad week for the Ice Bats. They finally got some goaltending (yeah… rotating 4 goaltenders) and smashed the old Wins record. In the meantime they lost the goals record to Camo, and worse, lost the PIM record to the Monks. The Sublimators tied the old Saberswinthecup! shorties record of 3. Although the Ice Bats have a firm lead in overall PIM, we might see some drastic line-up changes before the end of the season for no other reason than to re-take the goon title.
What are the picks for this week?

Week 8 Matchup

Ice Bats vs. Saberswinthecup!
The Ice Bats will take this one vaulting them in to sole possession of the lead.

Spezztacular vs. Pucknuts
The Pucknuts will win, although Spezztacular will put up a battle in Assists and Goaltending.

5 For Fighting vs. Sublimators
The Sublimators should take this easily and start their climb back up the ladder.

Spankers vs. Monks
This is the matchup of the week. Both teams with a hot hand right now. It’s going to be close in all categories. Lets call it a draw.

SenStanley vs. A-Team!
The A-Team is on top of the Division, but they won’t stay there. They might beat SenStabley but not by enough points to stay ahead of Camo.

Camo vs. Take Off Eh
Camo still has the better line-up although they’ve been cold. Camo will come out ahead and re-take the Northern Division.

Now the moment we’ve all been waiting for. The first ever induction into the Hockey Blog All Stars Hall of Fame. Ladies and Gentlemen…. it gives me great pleasure to announce the 2006 inductee…… Bamboni!
