Week 1 Previews (Part 1)

March 27th, 2014

So this season we’re going to combine the best of Derk&Elly and the best of Sven. D&E gave one GOTW, and Sven pretty much gave detailed recaps of every game. So, we are going to combine the two ideas and give two GOTWs and much shorter previews to every other game. In order to make a GOTW…you gotta earn it with Ws.

No charities here. Win at the courts, Ace Bar and Skee*T*Ball

And here’s the deal. If we mention your name, there is a good chance we are going to poke a little fun at you in a light-hearted way. Unless you’re Alex Eben Meyer, because I just don’t like that guy…though he is a somewhat capable ref in one of the lower divisions. The point is, if something we say offends you, we won’t say it anymore. We want you to like when we write about you. That being said, Derk, Elly and I think most of you are assholes.

We think most of you are assholes, but not this kid. He seems kinda cool. I like his style.

Speaking of assholes, lets get to the first GOTW for 2014! Congratulations Tuques and Anklebiters. The Tuques “won the off-season,” so they get the first GOTW.

2014 Predictions!

March 26th, 2014

Can Math Repeat As Glanzer Division Champions?

The Norris family continues to grow.

The Norris family continues to grow.

Opening Day is rapidly approaching, so we decided to generate some page views by putting up our predictions for the 2014 season.  These are guaranteed to make you feel good or bad about your team, depending on your own expectations and how they line up with the views of Rich, Derek, and myself.  And if you want to offer your own predictions, have at it in the comments!  Without further ado…

Brown Division

Rich Derek Eli
1 Fresh Kills Fresh Kills Fresh Kills
2 Corlears Hookers Corlears Hookers Corlears Hookers
3 LBS, Inc. Denim Demons LBS, Inc.
4 Denim Demons LBS, Inc. Denim Demons
5 What The Puck What The Puck What The Puck

Rich’s Take: Fresh Kills, after making a run at perfection, will actually lose 3 games this season. None will be in the playoffs. This division is the tops for a reason, every team will have a winning record. And honestly, after seeing all the talent at the Free Agent scrimmage and the goalie that Corey very subtly got…I’m a little worried about playing them Game 1. They could be good real early. 

Derek’s Take: Fresh Kills cruises to another division title.  The Hookers give them a good run, but poor mid-season attendance results in a few lost games for the Purple during the summer.  The Demons play solid (though objectionable) hockey.  LBS, Inc. takes a step back this season with no Ken.  What The Puck will clearly be in rebuilding mode and probably should not be in this division.

Eli’s Take: Not much to add here that Rich and Derek haven’t already said.  Fresh Kills is the most complete team in the league and goes back-to-back with the division titles.  What The Puck looks primed for relegation, unless Corey has something up his sleeve. 

[Said in Jo-Ann voice]Maybe Corey join Elf and put ‘appy Elf up sleeve? Why is Timmay no playing for us this year?

Glanzer Division Preview

March 24th, 2014

Saving the best-named division for last. Last season, Math won the Glanzer Division, and this year they are taking the name with them. In a division with Derk, Elly and $h0wT!m3, and written by me…there is not one wrestling joke. Rachel Greene we are really trying here.

Without further ado….

Butchers
 
Strengths: Rachel Greene and Georgine are hot.

OK, so they’re not as hot as these two, but they are as close as it gets.

So guy free agents who are really good are going to flock to them. Which is good because…
 
Weaknesses: They are also the only players currently on their roster.

Additional Weakness: Neither of them showed to the free agent scrimmage! 

Waldo was easier to find than Rachel and Georgine yesterday.


Fun Fact:
Georgine once scored a natural hat trick. (With the stick I gave her)

Not so Fun Fact: In the last two seasons, I have two goals. Both came in 2012. She beat me in one half. Damn you Georgine!
