Wow. That pretty much sums up all I can say about this week. Before today, I would have said the biggest upset was in NCAA Basketball, with Northern Iowa taking down Kansas. After today, I think it is quite clear that the biggest upset in all of sports this week, possibly in all of sports history, happened in our league. The Amish Rake Fighters have beaten the 2009 SJ Sharks a team called Unfuckingbelievable (The Unfucks).
This is like Colin Montgomerie winning a major. Rick Ankiel winning a Cy Young. Derek Anderson winning an MVP award. Tiger Woods staying faithful. All unlikely happenings, all now actually possible because of this upset.
2 points. That was the total production of 8 players today on the Unfucks. Just one goal scored and they would have won. Nope, couldn’t do it. For the last 15 minutes of the last two games of the day, a shutout was required in both games to send the Unfucks home…and it happened.
Now the playoffs have been ripped wide open. And with that, lets look at this weeks playoff matchups (I think, I don’t really know if the matchups are reseeded).
3. Bizzarohawks vs. 8. Amish Rake Fighters – Bizzarohawks breezed through the first round against a team that had zero goalie play. This week won’t be so easy. Stellar goaltending may not be enough to cover the hideous offense (11 points..wtf?), especially with their goaltenders facing the offensive powerhouses of the Kings, the Red Wings and the Coyotes. Amish Rake Fighters are playing with the house’s money, and you got to like any team that is just pumped to be there..even if their GM Peter Burns doesn’t even know the league is still going on.
Prediction: Amish Rake Fighters somehow make the finals, pissing everyone off, eeking out another win 8-6-1.
2. Texans vs. 3. Dave’Killer’Carlson – When they met in week 11, Killer moped the floor with the Texans. The key weakness for the Texans is the goaltending. Although Killer was outscored this past week, how the points were scored was the key thing…that and sweeping almost all goalie categories. Texans will have to step up in one-off categories and goalie categories to win this matchup, Team Canada Brodeur will have to show up for Killer to lose.
Prediction: Dave’Killer’Carlson wins and returns to the Championship for the second straight year, winning 8-4-3..asshole.
Next week: The Championship preview, proposals for next season, and the unveiling of the Anze Cup.
Cool. I didn't even know the playoffs was this week. That's awesome! Do I set my lineup again this week, or does it automatically do it for me?
