Week 19 Storylines
Thursday, September 25th, 2014We exited last Sunday just as we entered it, with one playoff seed set and 19 others up for grabs. With one week left, the playoff picture is still quite murky, although some things are beginning to clear up. Of course, chaos can still reign. There could be a five-way tie for the #2 seed. Or potentially three four-way ties for various seeds. But here are some of the key items to be aware of as we approach what should be a crazy six hours on Sunday…
Trying to figure out all of the playoff seed possibilities has us feeling like this right now. Hopefully things get clearer as Sunday progresses.
Poutine Machine pulled into a tie with the Gremlins for fourth in the Glanzer Division with a 1-0 win on Sunday, setting this up as a winner-take-all battle to avoid relegation to the Greene Division next season. Of course, the loser of this game could go on a playoff run and win the championship, which would ironically send the winner of this game to the Greene Division. Both teams have already secured a place in the Opening Round playoff games on October 5, but sadly, an elusive third matchup in as many weeks seems unlikely.

Sept. 21 Previews – Part Two
Friday, September 19th, 2014What The Puck @ LBS Inc.
Nick: It’s been a rough year for WTP as they enter a bit of a rebuild. It will take some time for the team to come together, but I think they will bounce back nicely next season. As for this game, they’re running into a LBS squad that is gearing up for the post-season. I think the Corporation takes this one 5-1.
Eli: LBS, Inc. has used so many players this season that they’ll be happy to get out of this game without any more injuries. But a 3-1 win will be a nice bonus.
Rich: I probably should pick the Lbs. because I am going to try and convince Karstan to play in my Long Island hockey team. But I think WTP is going to win. So torn.
Derek: You could start by spelling Karsten’s name right. 4-1 LBS.
Dark Rainbows @ Mega Touch
Nick: Lots of recognizable faces in this matchup as Julie, Alex, and rookie stud Alok take on Aaron, Ramber (the Rachel + Camber celebrity couple name), and Abby. The rest of the gang is all there as well, and this should be a spirited contest between two high-energy teams. I’ll say that Mega wins it for Devlin, 3-2.
Oh, you said Ramber? My mistake…we don’t have any pictures for that.
Derek: I think the Rainbows get the solid 4-2 win here.
Rich: Intern Nick, you mention all these players and not mention Bernstein?!?!? This is why you are an intern and no one believes in you. Dammit Nick! Damn you! (Mega wins 3-2)
Game Previews, Yo (Sept 21.)
Wednesday, September 17th, 2014La Famiglia at Fresh Kills
With the Hookers clinching the top seed, all the rest of us can do is battle for the best loser.
Or, we could just crush their women next year…
The winner of this matchup will have a clear shot at the 2 or 3 seed. If the Tuques win out, they are the 2 seed. If Fresh Kills wins out, they will finish no worse than 3. What this means is, if you win this game, you probably don’t have to face the Hookers until the finals…which is a really good thing, considering they are an approximate 17-3 in their existence (since 2007) in non-final playoff games.
However they’ve proven beatable once they get to the Championship Game, going 1-3.
Rich: The non-Elf in me is rooting hard for Fresh Kills, so we can get a possible Championship Game matchup of the two best franchises in the league. I think it will be a close low scoring game, with FK coming out with a 2-1 win.
Eli: Mike Dudolevitch, prominently pictured above, was not on the Rainbows in 2007. He might have been in high school back then. Fresh Kills, 3-2.
Derek: La Famiglia has struggled against the top division this season (even against WTP, they barely won), and this game will be no different. 4-1 win for FK.
Intern Nick: FK is too much to handle for all but the Hookers on a consistent basis, especially if they show their full lineup. Blue crew takes it 3-1.
