not<\/em> helping you ref Poutine’s game.<\/p><\/div>\nThe Fighting Poos could have earned a bye and avoided this playoff game with a win last Sunday, but a late Anklebiters goal sealed their position as the #14 seed.\u00a0 And while a lot of the surface stats for this matchup with the league’s second-best orange clothed team clearly point in Poutine’s favor, the game should be close and competitive.\u00a0 Sure, Poutine won eight games during the regular season to What The Puck’s four.\u00a0 And yeah, their goal differential of +7 is way better than What The Puck’s -18.\u00a0 Plus, they have Brian Sullivan.\u00a0 What The Puck doesn’t have Brian Sullivan.<\/p>\n
But let’s look past the surface a little.\u00a0 Poutine’s regular season record was inflated by seven division wins, as they went 1-7-1 outside of their division.\u00a0 Okay, so that one win was against What The Puck, but it was only by one goal.\u00a0 And What The Puck played some of their better games this season against tougher competition, knocking off the Anklebiters, taking the Butchers to overtime, and losing to Fresh Kills by one.\u00a0 We’re also expecting savvy veteran Corey to be present for What The Puck, and he always ups his game for the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Prediction<\/em>: Emily, Corey, Justin M., Jordan, and the rest of What The Puck fight valiantly, but can’t overcome the Fighting Poos sound defensive structure.\u00a0 Charlotte, Kevin, Whitney, A.J., and Scott lead the charge to keep What The Puck at bay, and a timely goal from Brian Sullivan extinguishes any lingering hopes of an upset.\u00a0 Poo Nation moves on to the Round of 16 with a hard-earned 3-1 win (-1.5 goals<\/strong>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The playoffs are finally here, BTSH! \u00a0And these opening round matchups look like the perfect recipe to end up being beautifully nasty. \u00a0So, let’s.
