I league Playoffs Preview...

Better Late than Never...

Stickmen vs Ice Holes 6:30pm (Gold Rink) ConsulationRound (gold division)
If the Ice Holes can score, they will win, its that simple. Hockey Lord Chris Skupien may arrive for this one. Stickmen need goonery from Ken Halford and a good game from Jesse Henderson to win the day.
Prediction: Ice Holes 2-1 win

***Mayhem vs Stingers 7:30 (Green Rink) Gold DivisionChampionship
From head Coach Bobby Sirkis from his midweek press conference, " All those who love America should watch tonight, as we are continuing the war on terror against Islam and his followers."
Rumors have it that the Stingers will be skating Jason "Islam" Isham at forward to combat John "Jihad" Pinnard. Sirikis would later add, "Am I scared about islam?? Hell no. I am gonna have naked women riding swine passing out bags of nuts. The naked women alone should be enough to make him want to gouge out his eyes. Total eclipse…..i am working on a deal with Mc Donalds to make our helmets look and smell like big macs. And just in case Olson is reffing the game, an apparent conflict of interest due to the man love between him and islam, we will have 3 15 yr old cheerleaders to work the penalty boxes. And who is Josh Briscoe?"
Jason Isham had this to say about the game, "Sirkis needs to take notes on how I skate, shoot, and play overall. It would really help his game. Allah Akbar"
Josh Briscoe wasnt silent either about this game, "We are going to play to win, we are going to throw everything we have at Mayhem, with me, Isham and Nickerson, no one can stop us." This will be an epic battle, probably one of the best championships ever. Mayhem has overall better skaters, but The Stingers have better superstars.
Prediction: Stingers 4-3

Borrachos vs Warriors 7:45pm (Gold Rink) Consulation Round (gold division)
Penalties should abound in this one, and hopefully there will be an all our bench clearing brawl. Then we'll all go drink upstairs, just as thor desires it. Stuckemans should combine for 4 goals, while Eric Johnson and Dallas Lehr should get a couple.
Prediction: Borrachos 4-2

***Komets vs Blue Devils 8:45pm (Green Rink) Silver Division Championship
This intense rivalry reaches its pinnacle tonight as all the cards will be placed on the table. Blue Devils had a surge to break their slump as they crushed the Puckers last week. Blue Devils will throw Mark Cameron, Chris Zolle, David Ogle against a stingy Komets Defense. The Komets have Chris Gallagher, Nate Hodges, Alex Atkins along with underated weapons in Sergio Castillo and Sean Keirr (Both of who have been on fire as of late). Todd Smith thugging will be abounding and Ray Workman has promised to lay out a certain member of the Komets. An epic Battle awaits...
Prediction: Komets 4-3

Fugaweez vs Brewzers 9pm (Gold Rink) Silver Division 3rd Place Game
The Fugaweez are red hot and where a point or so back of playing for the keg. Shamefull that they can't. Mark Gragg, Matt Osbourne will carry this team to victory. Brewzers need a good game from Jamil Jabri to get the upset. WHO DAT!
Prediction: Fugaweez 5-2


Patriots vs Spiders 10pm (Green Rink) Gold Division 3rd Place Game
Jeff Vaughan was found today in a taquileria in San Pacos, Texas drunk and crying saying, "Patriots suck, we're finished. There is no God!" Indeed it was a disappointing season for the Patriots who had higher expectations this season. The same goes for the Spiders who also held first place for a good majority of the season. Question is which team will play for pride and Sparta? The holy Trinity of Defense may make its final appearence tonight. Fisticuffs are rumored to be occuring in this one.
Prediction: Patriots 4-3 win

Shockers vs Leftovers 10:15 (Gold Rink) SilverDivision 8 vs 9 game.
These teams actualy had epic battles last week as the leftovers were able to get their first win of the season. The winner of this game will play the spiders platinum team later on tonight.
Prediction: Shockers 4-2

Puckers vs Snipers 11:15 pm (Green Rink) SilverDivision 5th Place Game
Two teams that deserved much better fate (and a much better time slot) will battle in an almost meaningless game. Puckers had torn up the silver division after their first game loss to the spiders, only to fall to the Blue Devils in a must win game. Snipers also did well this season, but couldnt win the big games when needed. Puckers should chip it up a little tonight, but the snipers are equaly up to the challenge.
Prediction: Puckers 3-1

Spiders Plat vs Winner of Shockers/Leftovers game11:30pm (Gold Rink) Silver Division 7th Place game.
Spiders should win this game, regardless of who they play. Whitney Freeman should have at least two goals.
Predicion: Spiders Plat 4 whoeverelse 1

Both Keg Games look like they will be a blast to watch; good luck to all - we will be cheering for you all upstairs drunk in the cross bar. Go Stingers! Go Komets!

When did Nate become a Komet? I thought he was a Patriot? Looks like Komets are trying to bring in ringers and/or non rostered players.

So is the headline going to be "Inspidered by the Patriots win over Mayhem, Mayhem defeated the Stingers for the title."?

Nate never played for the Puckers... We were going to invite him to Saturday because we had a short bench but the Snipers got to him first. We wanted to give Nate a chance to play for EVERY team in the I-League in one session but I guess it was not meant to be...

When did the Komets get so many fans? Where did they bus all those orange shirts from?

I have never seen anything like that. all those people there to support a team and wearing what appears to be their team color. I give major Kudos to the Komets. Great Victory. Now when are you moving up the Gold Division so we can kick your butt.

Congrats to the Komets for a hard fought win! they had a great season and there is no doubt that they earned it. i figured that they would win over the BD in this one. Especially since they had already beat them once in a head to head. So congrats...this komets team has come a long way!!!

However, I will add that the officiating sucked in this one...at least from where I was watching.

Example: the game was 3-2 with seconds to go and the refs blow an obvious icing call; which would have put the face off back in the Komets zone with a chance for a shot off of the face off.

There were some obvious missed calls that the refs let the komets slide on and then the refs turned right around and called the same thing on the BD. Putting the Komets on a power play in one instance; one in which they scored on.

But lets not take anything away from this Komets win. They played hard and out skated the BD's. They played two way hockey and played their positions. (well coached from my perspective) However, in big games you would think that Yockey would put more experienced Refs on the ice.

So congrats again. I think that if more of the teams focused on the game like the Komets have done our league would be in a lot better shape and our games would be more enjoyable. I mean did you see the number of fans that they had at the game. Wow!!

Imagine if our I league was like that every Saturday night. Imagine if the place actually had decent food, and reasonable prices to where people would hang around and actually come out and participate in our games. Imagine of they actually had a stuff for the kids to do so that parents would be able to bring their spouses, etc.

How cool would that be?

So come on DPSC pull your head out of your ass and do some market research...and create a place that people who dont play in the games don't mind being for a few hours on a Saturday night. And do something to keep more of the teams around after their games. Stale pretzels and year old peanuts and crappy ass popcorn really isnt going to cut it. Take a trip to wingstop or some place like that and see how they pull it off?

In regards to the "icing" call with only seconds was called correctly. The puck was cleared out of the zone, it the skate of a Komets player then hit the goal post. It was a good call and a good play.

Nice prediction of the Pats game, Nate.

Who are the dirrty smugglers?

I see the Red Wings [who all Stars fans should instantly hate], the Black Widows, and Team Kilgore [wtf?] are new squads.
