Week 10 Preview: Part I
June 25th, 2014It’s a Championship Game Rematch!
No, Ali, this is only the first time you’re playing the Hookers this season.
Corlears Hookers at LBS, Inc. (by Eli)
The championship game rematch normally takes place on Opening Day, but due to “rain fears”, this is the first meeting between last year’s championship game participants, with the winner getting sole possession of first place in the Brown Division. The Corlears Hookers suffered their first loss of the season last week and are coming into this game angry. Well, those who were there last week are angry. Those who weren’t, like Jason, or Danilo, or Gavin…probably not so much. But it doesn’t really matter, as Corlears rebounds with a 4-2 win.
Derek’s Pick: A tight, 3-2 win for the Hookers.
Rich’s Pick: I bet Noelle, Tiffany, and Sam aren’t angry either. Tim Brown isn’t playing for the Lbs., so I’m not picking them. Or else he will fire me. 4-3 Hookers.
Three Stars!!!
June 24th, 2014
Craig ponders who the three stars will be this week. The two goons behind him think it should be Alex from Fresh Kills and Brugger (New Trevor) from the Elves.

Yesterday both FK and the Hookers lost. Have they ever lost on the same day before?
Week 9 Preview
June 20th, 2014
GOTW: Fresh Kills at Happy Little Elves (by Eli)
Last week’s Game of the Week was kind of a letdown, as La Famiglia put forth a skeleton squad and was doubled up by the Corlears Hookers. Let’s hope that this week’s featured game lives up to the hype.
Keys To The Game For Fresh Kills:
Attendance matters. Last week, Fresh Kills was able to squeeze by a scrappy What The Puck squad despite having only two subs. Sure, that allowed Gabe to play most of the game, but that won’t cut it against the Elves. Dave might need to take some drastic action and get Steph Opitz back to New York on the first plane from Texas and send a bus up to Boston to pick up Hobart. Of course, the biggest absence will be in goal, as Patrick is down in Brazil cheering on the Yanks in the World Cup. Better start checking that free agent goalie list, Dave!
Keys To The Game For The Happy Little Elves:
Last Sunday was a monumental one in Elves history. Not as monumental as beating the Tuques in their inaugural game in 2008, mind you, but still monumental. After years of failure, the Elves finally broke through and beat their white whale, the Gouging Anklebiters. The Elves are now tied for first in the $h0wT!m3 Division with a 6-1 record and are outscoring opponents by a 3-to-1 margin. Who knew that all it would take was to send Trevor off to Los Angeles and move Shaun out of the crease?!
Prediction:
The Elves have teased us before with a fast start before leveling off and finishing in the middle of the pack. But they’ve already exceeding this editor’s expectations and don’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. The Elves’ torrid start continues as they topple Fresh Kills, 4-2.
Derek: Both teams have looked impressive up to this point, but I’m giving a slight edge to Fresh Kills for this one. 4-2 win for the Fighting Sokos.
Rich: We’ve gotten killed by them the last two years and eliminated by them three years ago. They have our #, and Boris, Ben and Gil’s son will be missing. No prediction on this one.
