Week 12 Preview
Thursday, July 7th, 2011La Famiglia Doesn’t Want To Blow This One
GAME OF THE WEEK
La Famiglia (6-1-1-2) at What The Puck (8-1-0-1)
Location: Tompkins West, 1:00 PM
All-Time Series: What The Puck leads 10-0
Game Notes: Expect a high-scoring game this Sunday when the league’s top two offenses clash in this inter-conference showdown. Despite their differing methods of attack, What The Puck and La Famiglia currently rank first and second in team scoring, respectively. What The Puck has spread out the offense, boasting 11 different players with multiple goals this season, which more than any other team in the league. Only one player, Darrell “Accurate Bob” Hartman, cracks the league’s top 10 with 10 goals this season. La Famiglia, on the other hand, has relied heavily on two players, Denis Miciletto and Shafiq “Off Black” Perry. Miciletto (14) and Perry (10) have combined for 24 of the team’s 38 goals. Because of these explosive offenses, both of these teams reside at the top of their respective divisions. What The Puck holds a narrow two point lead over Fresh Kills in the Hackett Division, while La Famiglia has a three point cushion on the Unicorns in the Donohue Division. With both of these races still tight, the winner of this matchup will take a big step towards winning its division.
Keys To The Game:
1. La Famiglia has never beaten What The Puck. This was partly the reason behind captain David Ladanyi’s signing of the previously retired Ant “Father Time” Ventolieri, who is a former What The Puck defender. Sadly, Ventolieri’s memory is not what it used to be, so he was unable to divulge any of What The Puck’s secrets.
2. To counter Ladanyi’s shrewd gambit, and to strengthen his goaltending depth chart, What The Puck captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer has signed former La Famiglia Tuques goaltender Minkus to a one-game contract. The two bonded while discussing the physics of Mets’ pitcher R.A. Dickey’s knuckleball.
3. What The Puck’s Brock “Butters” Bosacker has been feeling a lot of pressure to perform from his own teammates lately. “The All-American Canadian” Adam Skuse has repeatedly threatened to beat Brock if he doesn’t score a goal.
Eli’s Pick: La Famiglia. It’s about time for What The Puck’s annual summer swoon.
Derek’s Pick: What The Puck. Their depth carries them to the victory.
Watchability: 4.5 Malguarnera, Jrs. Both defenses have been just average this season, so these high-powered offenses should see a lot of good scoring opportunities.
