I Love You Not….Previews Week 6

Monday, May 12th, 2014

Love. It’s why we’re all here. From the time we are a baby, snuggled into our Daddy’s arms, to when we are leaving this earth, as our great grandchild clasps our hand one last time, we are looking for one thing. 

Love.

But as we find out…true love doesn’t last forever, and often times, the ones we love are the ones we leave.

I don't know these two people. I actually just used a Google image search. But perhaps they would be happier if they didn't have some creeper taking a picture of them while they were in bed?

Week 3 Preview (Part II)

Redundant Caption Alert:  Game of the Week!

Redundant Caption Alert:
Game of the Week!

GOTW: Denim Demons at LBS, Inc.

Our second Game of the Week features the Denim Demons and LBS, Inc., in a rematch of a very memorable semifinal game from last year’s playoffs, which was won by the Corporation, 2-0.  Both teams won last week, with LBS, Inc. looking impressive against the Gouging Anklebiters, and the Demons looking not as impressive against Cobra Kai.

Keys for the Denim Demons:
Make sure Jeff Kamen shows up.  His two goals last week accounted for all of their scoring in their win over the Dojo.  If he can’t be there, then make sure Zack Tinkelman can.  He is also very capable of a multiple-goal outburst.  And above all else, hope that the poetic justice they were served in the playoffs last year has run its course. 

Tupac hopes the Demons and Lbs. can end this east court/west court rivalry before anymore lives are taken, or before Dave de Rubio has to play net again for the Lbs.

Keys for LBS, Inc.:
In a word, goaltending.  When league stalwart and LBS, Inc. goalie Seth moved to Vancouver towards the end of last season, the Corporation had to find a new goalie for the first time in what seemed like an eternity.  They quickly locked up one of the league’s top goalies, Tim Brown, before the season ended, ensuring they would not skip a beat with the goaltending change.  And if Tim has to miss a game, they can always borrow Dave Gil de Rubio (just not this week…the Riots play at the same time).

Dave is gonna sit this Demons/Lbs. game out. On another note, this is why I'm Richie Hero. I actually took a random picture of Dave last week.  Hero!

Hero!

Prediction:
The Demons are the most-hated team in the league, and it’s not even close.  Hate them as much as you want, but last season is in the past, and they still have a ton of talent.  That talent will be on display Sunday, as the Demons notch a 3-2 win.
Rich’s Pick: Every game is Game 7 for the Demons. The Lbs. play it a little cooler in the regular season so they can turn it up in the postseason. This will be a clean, friendly 4-1 victory for the Demons.
Derek’s Pick: The Corporation forces this into OT, but can only muster a point and lose 4-3 in BTSH’s first regular season shootout that goes beyond three rounds.

Week 13 News and Notes

Jason Finally Got His Star

Third Star: These members of Poutine Machine, Poutine Machine. These three all contributed to Poutine’s solid defensive effort, which resulted in a shutout of MacNeil Division foe Mega Touch.  In addition, we’re always impressed when we see a bar showing like this.
Second Star: Jeff Kamen, Denim Demons. Kamen tallied a hat trick in the Game of the Week against Filthy Gorgeous to push the Denim Demons to a 4-3 victory.  With the win, the Demons maintained possession of first place in the Rubens Division.
First Star: Jason Eitel, Corlears Hookers. With only two goals entering this game, Eitel put in an A-Rod-like stat-padding performance with four goals in the Hookers’ 9-3 win against Gut Rot.  Of course, in fairness, after accumulating his goal stats, Eitel finally listened to his mother’s advice to pass more, resulting in an assist to Albert “Al” Huang.
