<\/a>Hornswoggle<\/em>: If Erich captains the team, first thing he\u2019ll do is rename it \u201cGrahamlins\u201d. Sorry, Jess, I got the team in dijon mustard snagging two points. I\u2019ll be glad if you prove me wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hicks<\/em>: Having just played the bows this past Sunday, I can say that is a solid team. Good goaltending, good attitudes, and a bunch of people with really good shots. If the vertz didn\u2019t have Tim in net, our game with them would\u2019ve been way closer. Bows by 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Agents v Bad Seeds<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n 23andMia<\/em>: If The Agents were on a dinner date, they\u2019d have had one bad cocktail and are waiting for appetizers in awkward silence. All to say, establishing chemistry can take time. Something sparks by the end of the main course, but till then, Bad Seeds 5-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steven<\/em>: I played Bad Seeds last week and they are good. Their offense produced some impressive scoring opportunities while their defense and goaltending was able to keep Karma to three goals. That said, three players from the Agents met us out at Ace for beers and it was really nice to meet them. Bad Seeds win by 4, but hope to see the Agents at the bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n CATT<\/em>: Three agents at the bar means three goals for the agents. It\u2019s a direct correlation. There were no Bad Seeds at the bar, so they probably won\u2019t score at all. On the other hand, they also seemed to put back a few at the courts\u2026not sure what that correlates to. Either 3-0 agents or 4 (twelve packs)-3, with Bad Seeds taking the W. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Riots v Glnzr<\/em>: I just hope someone finally punches Walker in both eyes so he doesn\u2019t see you spelled the Sky Fighters with one word again. Also I just really want Walker punched, obv. 3-2 Sky Fighters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hornswoggle<\/em>: yeah nahhh I want him to see single-worded Skyfighters until his eyes fall out of his sockets\u2026 much less painful than being punched. Anyway, Skyfighters seem to be on a tear for their first two matches and the Riots, despite the loss to the Hookers, are showing a marked improvement compared to last season. This will be a tight game, but I see the Riots causing a shake-up in the fourth division ranks with a dub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steven<\/em>: The Sky Fighters are the real deal. First they defeat the Demons, then they frustrate Filthier. How do they handle their toughest challenge yet? It comes down to whether the Fighters can rely on (i) KG to execute its fast paced transition strategy; and (ii) Mike Stern to score from half court again. Obviously Suz, Vanck and the rest of the Riots have other plans. They normally run three women on the court at once, talk about a power play. The pundits are asking whether Ian and Margot can make the difference? Or will the Riots rely on secondary scoring from Chunky Monkey their 4 week old kitten mascot who apparently loves drinking from the bottle of glory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 23andMia<\/em>: Thisisgonnabeagoodgame<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mega Touch v Butchers<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n JW<\/em>: Man I miss Erich on the rink. Oops, is this preview not about the Gremlins? My mistake. Mega Touch are way better than in years past. We played them Week 1 and they were absolutely stifling. The Butchers are having a rough time, but rumour has it that Rachel, Arthur, and Ellis are coming this Sunday. Will Ben, Jessie, and Lionel also come? These are the only things I care about with regard to this game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 23andMia<\/em>: Butcher babies are in tow Sunday. Due to all the cuteness, everyone forgets about playing, tugging toes and pinching cheeks when Julie and Olivier\u2019s toddler breaks away, scores a goal, and celebrates in French\u2026 game on! Alok continues his streak, Courtney\/Shelly\/Tash do great things and Mega wins 4-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anklebiters v Fresh Kills<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jess<\/em>: The Biters hung tough with Fuzz in a 22 round OT shootout yet lost to Mega by 1 goal last weekend (sans Probie). Either Mega is way better than we are all giving them credit for (def true), the Biters can\u2019t win without Probie (def not true) or the blacktop is a cruel mistress and most games can really be up in the air with who wins unless there\u2019s a huge skill deficit. Fresh Kills has an attendance problem so it\u2019s quite a toss up but I\u2019ll still give this one to them, 4-2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n CATT<\/em>: guess who started the migration to ace last week? It\u2019s the same person who will score the GWG this week: SARAH MOORE. 4-3 biters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Demons v Poutine<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jess:<\/em> shin bones will be broken <\/p>\n\n\n\n Russo<\/em>: Both teams are out for more blood than usual this week. Poutine’ coming off a 6-1 loss, and Demons, 9-2. Until Demons can shore up their defense, gotta give the edge to Poutine here. Expect Demon Yeff to have a goal waived off for being in the crease, and Poutine to edge out a high-scoring affair, 6-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glnzr: <\/em>Karina went to school with my niece so I\u2019m gonna go with 4-3 Poutine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 23andMia<\/em>: Can\u2019t stop this feeling that with the Tompkins cracks wider than ever, someone is going to get really hurt by getting their foot caught in a gap and twisting an ankle or jamming their stick in a crack and gouging themselves. There\u2019s a hint of worry this might happen during this match up, which will be undoubtedly hard fought. Do I play Demon\u2019s advocate and say Red takes it? They\u2019ll put up a good fight for sure, but I predict Jerome\u2019s fancy footwork will carry Poutine to safety and the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSkyfighters <\/s>Sky Fighters<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
