I league: Week 4 Preview

Hope everyone had a pretty good memorial day, but now its time to kill off the bratwerst, burgers and beer. We are in the home stretch pretty much with 5 games to go. Time for teams to make a step up or go in a corner and hide.

6:30pm Gold: Shockers vs Snipers
Not much is know about the shockers team, we never know what free agents will be signed week to week. Snipers (ie Stickmen’s farm team) will hope to continue their winning ways. Someone check Ken Halford bag for bootleg movies.

7:30pm Green: Warriors vs Stickmen
Stickmen haven’t scored a goal yet this season, while the Warriors would love to continue that trend. For the warriors its must win game to try and stay in the hunt for one of the top four spots. Rumor has it that several members of this squad are floating around in the Caribbean still.

7:45pm Gold: Komets vs Platinum Spiders
The Spiders will try and pull the upset here against a solid Komets squad trying to make it back to back wins. When these teams met in the Duncanville Tournament in December, the Spiders absolutely destroyed them. Mike Gallagher is in the running for the Selke award this season with his conquering backchecking skills.

8:45pm Green: Patriots vs Stingers
Huge game for the Patriots, as they are coming off their 7-0 win against the Stickmen. Last time these two teams met, in a scrimmage no less, there were fisticuffs…last time they met in a game, there was blood and fisticuffs. And they say that I league has no rivalries. This game will be lacking Josh Briscoe who is in the Mountains of Tibet meditating. Patriots’ Daniel “Scoreboard” Barr will try to add to his stats, but Jason Isham and Stingers new top tier defenseman Jon Nickerson will certainly give the Stingers firepower.

9pm: Gold: Blue Devils vs Brewzers
Battle of two of the Top teams in the Silver will transpire here. Blue Devils took a tough shootout loss a couple of weeks ago, but still remain atop the standings. Brewzers no doubt will be ready to throw Jamil Jabri at the Evil Empire. Jeff Vaughan says slap a grandma and watch this game.

10pm: Green: Mayhem vs Ice Holes
The only loss Mayhem took last season was a 1-0 loss to the Ice Holes. Revenge has to be on their minds. Head Coach Bobby Sirkis has been working his team over time during this break with workout routines that would make Ken Hitchcock cringe. From Sirkis about the game, “We have just spotted the Ice Holes 5 goals, that should be gone in the first two minutes”.

10:15pm Gold: Leftovers vs Puckers
Again, we ask, which puckers team will show up for this one? It will no doubt be a tough challenge for a spunky leftovers squad trying to get its first win of the season.

11:15pm Green: Borrachos vs Spiders
Spiders will try and make it 4-0 on the season, but will have to do it against one of the highest scoring threats in the league. Borrachos are still licking their wounds from the Mayhem Massacre of a couple weeks ago. Spiders are a beatable team, however are solid all the way around. The headline of this match up might be Jim Stuckeman vs Chris Gallagher. But Sharma vs Hodges is said to be attracting the boys from Hockey Night in Canada.


what would it take to get an "olson Miked-up" feature.....

Funny question coming from a member of a loaded Spiders (Platnum) team who caught us short benched. Leftovers beware...

Lookout for the Borrachos on the Green rink! We are unstoppable on the Green! Too bad we will be without the services of Shawn "Super Ringer" Haley. He is rumored to be scavenging across the Sahara with only 1 camel for the whereabouts of the hidden "ringer" idol. It's said to behold all of the secrets of the beer crisis at the crossbar. I will miss him dearly and all of his hall of fame assists. Looks like Hodges will do for now.....love ya buddy!

VIVA LOS BORRACHOS!

Chick team my @ss. The token males outnumbered the gals. And half the "Chicks" could outskate most of the men in the I league Seemed like half of Spiders (Gold) was skating their lesser squad that night. What the heck. I always enjoy a match up with the Spiders...

How come the chicks can check, hook, and high stick us but if we do it to them a fight breaks out. Remeber you wanted equal rights. And please quit hugging Olson before the games.

The hockey whore plays on the "chicks team" along with just about everyone elses team (such a cheap little tramp!). The only safe hockey is practiced in monogamous long-term relationship with one team. Please practice safe hockey! (Oh crap do as a I say not as I do!)

The above comment is probably one of the gayest comments of all time.

It will not be stricken from the record because it, in itself, is the worst comment ever. It will stay as a historical marker in representation of its worthlessness.

So how exactly is Jon Nickerson playing for the stingers? Isn't he in B-League or something? That guy has no business being on I-league ice!

Didn't someone say it had become an Arms Race?

There are quite a few coaches that play in the c or b leagues. you should ask them if they recognize anyone from the c or b league in the i league

There is no reason to have B or C players in the I league... I know people are taking notes of that.

lets see how you talk after you face Jon "Zubov" Nickerson on the Ice. I think Nate was about to pass out after vainly trying to chase him all night. Of course Nate also got schooled by a chick, so whatever....
