Summer season ends. Check your standings. The finals season begins.
Happy Playoffs season starting.
Did you miss me? Huh huh? Yeah you did.
Votta not only came in first, but did it by winning its last 2 games. Last week they won over Edge Doctor 7-5 and last night against that great team Quick Dam 6-4. So, they storm into the playoffs with some young bucks. It appears, we maybe looking at another championship for the Purple. Some real fire power on this team. Brayden Webster, Ryan Degnan, Lil' Robbie Edelman and Derek Franco. As Pete Meegan would say "are you kidding me right now". Plus, Mike Baro in net. Crazy times.
Right on their heals all season was Vescera Law. They kept up with the Joneses by doing the same as they won their last 2 games. This team led by Shane McShane Shane McCormick, looks to dethrone the Votta Machine.
The rest of the field in order, Quick Dam bitten by the injury bug, stayed alive. The up and down season, ended down but not in the locker room. Eric Campbell stitching every week together with 4-6 out every week, was sheer brilliance. Kreg LaBelle and Peter Meegan leading the team in goals and heart. This may be your sleeper winning team. Speaking of don't sleep on them, Manville Pizza has a great opportunity. That's what they have here. That's what they've earned here. Green Goddess is sneaky good, do not think for a second this is a push over. The Reilly's will be ready for the playoffs. Edge Doctor also might be the pick. Never underestimate Adam Babikian. His resilience is unmatched and has a great team around him.
What is your pick for the playoff winner. I am Bias. Obviously. Sorry Big Sexy but I am hoping you and the Purple storm get knocked out early.
Hope you all have a great week.
See you in the playoffs baby!

Mid Summer Blues.
Hello hockey fans. This week the games were all very close. The top teams are still the top teams. The rest are within striking distance of moving up or down. Crazy season.
In the first game, Vescera Law and Quick Dam went at it. Quick Dam down 6 players, but got some great substitutes. In the end Johnathan Murphy had a Hat Trick and an Assist to rule the game. Quick Dam Was in the game the whole time with a goal by Kreg LaBelle and Jerry Fahey in the second. Late in the second the story was the puck sitting on the goal line while the buzzer rang out. Quick Dam had hope, which was squelched in the third. Vescera Law wins 4-2.
Look at Green Goddess. The cellar dwellers are rising from the ashes. Votta Properties, the king of the mountain could not eek this one out. They started off with an early goal in the first by Dan Fraser. In the second another one early by Brayden Webster. Goddess answered quickly, making it 2-1 Votta. Another goal by Votta's very own Lil' Robby Edelman, to stretch the lead. Ben Hevner for the Green answered the bell making it 3-2. Votta came back with a late goal in the second by Neil Foley. And then came the third. Dunt dunt duuuuuuuh. Ben Hevner took the wheel midway through for 2 consecutive goals and tied this one up. The GWG came with just 4 minutes left. And then it was the all out scramble by both teams. Green Goddess held out to win 5-4.
In the late one, Manville Pizza and Edge Doctor captained by Bill Babikian went at it. There are a lot of goals in this one. Suffice it to say, Damn. So, Lots of subs in this one and I was not paying attention. It was 3-2 at the end of one. Jeremy Lawton got one of them for MPP. At the end of the second it was all tied up 5-5. I know Bragan for mpp got one of those. And then it was 3-1 in the third giving MPP the 8-6 win. Lawton with the GWG and Bragan with the capper. Even Ben Dussault, who was scoring the game, said it was a Frankenstein game. Crazy. MPP Is also winning their way through the standings with just a few games left.

Have a great weekend!
