Gremlins versus 5. Fresh Kills<\/strong> As for the Gremlins, well, they\u2019re just gay to be here and have nothing to lose.\u00a0 Sometimes that is what makes a team most dangerous.\u00a0 Playing loose can foster the type of creative freedom that favors the Gremmies\u2019 crop of talented forwards like Erich, Mills, Marie and Magician.\u00a0 Sadly, they will have to shift Mr. Minus Walker at some point forcing Jamie to test their limits of \u2018GET BACK ON DEFENSE\u2019 ESP.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Classic southeast division match-up that favors Alok and Mega as they swept Dave and the Riots this year.\u00a0 Having said that, defeating a team three times in one season hasn\u2019t been done since Karma crossed the Elves arms over their chest and put them to permanent rest in 2015.\u00a0 Still, we like Mega 3-1.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Well, it was a good run for Katherine C and the Rainbows during the second half of the season, but it ends here.\u00a0 Creamy, MDF and the Butchers have so much pent up frustration that the Rainbows will be left walking funny for a week.\u00a0 Butchers move on 9-0.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: History suggests that Josh and the Demons should cake walk through this one (and they\u2019ve been playing better lately too), but Peaches and Gut Rot are known to pull an upset out of their rear.\u00a0 Even though GR has the edge in goaltending (no offense) the Demons will win 3-2.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: What an unfortunate way for Math to end a miserable season, but perhaps it is for the best.\u00a0 Despite the veteran savvy of Justin, Amy and Brad, the young guns on the Sky Fighters will be too much for them.\u00a0 Carlin, James, and Matt move on to the Round of 16, 4-3.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: This is not how Coach and Fuzz wanted to begin their PBR Cup campaign, because Jake, Caroline and the Sky Fighters match-up surprisingly well against the juggernaut of Fuzz.\u00a0 Still, this Fuzz team is even better than the 2016 version and so we see them moving on 4-2.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Rachel and Cobra Kai\u2019s playoff woes are well documented and having to face-off against a divisional foe in the playoffs is no picnic (JR and the Demons are one effing tough team).\u00a0 But we like Siena and Olivier getting them over the hump and into the quarterfinals 3-1.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Even though the Butchers have endured through a difficult season without the talents of Rosie, they\u2019ll surely miss him for this one.\u00a0 Ali, Karsten and the #poundtowncrew are on a mission to hoist the lord PBR\u2019s Cup and they win this one 5-2.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Tuckman has been stoic in net down the stretch of the season for the Touches and goaltending can win you championships.\u00a0 JJ and Filthy have a pretty decent goaltender of their own in Tim K, but lack the resiliency of the Jeffs.\u00a0 Mega will pull of the upset in OT 4-3 and live to fight another day.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: This match-up says a lot about the modern day BTSH and just how deep the talent is across the league.\u00a0 Both of these teams could easily be penciled in for the semifinals, but only one can survive.\u00a0 Roxy and Fresh Kills defend their title admirably and move on 5-3.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: \u2018Hey Butchers, its Chadwick and Karma.\u00a0 Are you interested in scrimmaging the following Sunday in between the quarterfinal games?\u2019\u00a0 Karma puts up a good fight, however, Alex and the Rehabs win this one for Showtime.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Tough one to predict as we don\u2019t know who will show up for the Biters.\u00a0 So if we only go on stats alone then the edge goes to Probie and the Biters who have put 14 more biscuits in the basket than Susie and the Pucks this season.\u00a0 Biters move on 5-1.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Despite the Gremlins having the slightly higher seed it is Poutine who should be favored in this match-up.\u00a0 Having said that, it all depends on who is in net for the Poos as rumor has it both RJ and AJ already have fall plans.\u00a0 The Gremlins welcome back Erich and Rockoff and knockout Charlotte, Hilary\u2019s boyfriend and the Machine 5-3.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Ugh. The \u2018He\u2019s Already Dead Game\u2019 as Shelly and Mega get thrashed by Alexa and the Fuzz 10-0.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Whoa!\u00a0 LJ, Liam and Cobra Kai suffer their first regulation defeat of the season at the sticks of the Salt Boyzzz and those pesky Gremlins 3-1.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Coco, Sarah and the Biters seem to have the LBS number as Timmy shows his old team the playoff exit door 4-3.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction:<\/em> Rematch of last year\u2019s championship game with the Rehabs playing with a purpose.\u00a0 However, the miles put on them by making the championship game three years in a row catches up to them.\u00a0 Frank, Nicole and Fresh Kills make it back to the Tompkins Square Dance 5-2.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Wounded Rich somehow convinces Jeff to let him play and ends up knocking in an own goal in the final minute that gets credited to Marcella while costing his team the game.\u00a0 Fuzz loses their collective shit and banishes him to the Free Agent list where he spends 2019 as the 2015-16 Newman.\u00a0 For the first time in franchise history the Gremlins move on to the championship game 1-0.<\/p>\n
\nPrediction<\/em>: Back in 2015 the Biters pulled off the playoff upset against Fresh Kills by tripping up Ariel and then kicking him while he was down (yeah, looking back on it now, as the ref, I probably should have called the trip on Sarah).\u00a0 They also exposed Gabe\u2019s weakness (passing) by triple teaming him to force turnovers.\u00a0 A lot of hockey (drinking) has happened since then, but the pain of that defeat has not faded for Soko and Barch.\u00a0 They get sweet revenge against Phil and Amy by winning 7-6.<\/p>\n
\nNarrative: Before the season started Soko, Gabe and Ariel made a pact that this would be their final run together.\u00a0 With the demands of life outside of the league piling up like consumed beverages at a Gut Rot event they knew their time was up. \u00a0They\u2019ve had an amazing run together while producing hall of fame worthy careers at the expense of us common folk.\u00a0 This game will be the passing of the torch from them to Tom, Frank and Sheena.<\/p>\n
