This Wknd Showdowns

[silverman56]

Everyone toss in some predictions here, this is a big weekend of games.

Growl vs Minutmen: Minutemen use to play these guys tough, but im predicting two blow outs this time around from the growl.

Growl vs Grizzlies: 1-1 this season, im gonna say the Growl take both in pretty close games.

Pittsburgh vs Harrisburg: Can pitt stay undefeated? Or will the Tics bring these one's home? Im saying a split

[FrankFrank]

I've got my bets on the Growl taking the entire weekend, and then Harrisburg lighting up the short-handed bandits.

F~F

[growl89]

well i appreciate the fact that you guys think we will win 3 or 4 of our games this weekend... BUT we def have our work cut out for us... we are playing on two of the smallest rinks in the league and they are two of the hardest floors to play on... def a home team advantage, plus it was shown last weekend that we are human after all and lost a game... so anything can happen... can we win 4 games... yeah, but if we dont show up again we can lose 4 too...

Without Ciolli and Marszalek, Bandits lose at least one to Harrisburg, maybe both.

F~F

I wouldnt be surprised if the grizzlies win one of the two games. I think Harrisburg will win both games but I dont think they will light up the bandits

[GROWL]

There are some other great games this weekend, that frankly might be even more important than the games mentioned. The Growl, Tics, and Bandits will all be in the playoffs, but a few games will have seriously playoff implications, when you look back at the end of the reg season.

Blizzard vs Prowlers
Blaze vs Bombers
Blizzard vs Catz
Gladiators vs eXpress
Pythons vs Whalers

No one has mentioned that the Tics must also play the Inferno this weekend. There may be no team that is tougher on their home rink then the Inferno.

Good luck to the Flyingh Monkeys as well. They play their first home games of the season this weekend.

Went to watch my old team the Bandits play against Harrisburg today and someone got lit up, but it wasn't the Bandits...

Game 1 - Bandits 3, Lunatics 0
Game 2 - Bandits 8, Lunatics 1

The first game was a very good defensive game, scoreless well into the second half. Bandits capitalized on a power play, then took advantage of a Lunatics mistake on a 3 on 2, coming back the other way on a 3 on 2 of their own and capitalizing. Added an empty net goal for the win. Second game was all bandits. teams traded early goals and then the bandits put in 2 more before halftime. Another goal early by the bandits and then a major penalty by the Lunatics during which the bandits scored 4 goals iced the game. Lots of penalties in both games. Bandits powerplay was very impressive and the Lunatics only goal came short-handed despite having a fair amount of chances. Brett Leggat was very impressive in both games making some big saves, including more than one on big Ying who was more than a little frustrated. Harrisburg could have easily stolen the first game, but with the Bandits missing 2 world class players along with another very good player and also Plaugher lol... they are going to be a hard team to match up with all season long... Jimmy Readstreake will be making a case for MVP if he keeps scoring big goals like he did today...

Lunatics will be very motivated after these games and will come out with something to prove next time these teams meet...

[growl89]

yeah we split with the MM today... lost 6 - 3 in the first one.... Kyle D. stole the game for the MM, played amazing, play was in their zone for 85% of the game... game 2 we came out a little fired up, having lost back to back games for the first time in two years and solved Kyle D. winning 4-0... good job to the MM this weekend.. bandits running away with it so far...

[towson9]

[TheSnake22]

Scottdale 3 York 1

I know that the Bombers beat the Blaze 7-1 in game one, the Blaze won the second game, but not sure of the score.

[UrBoyPHarry]

Prowlers 2 - Blizzard 1

[towson9]

Damn. Maybe, 32-0 isn't so farfetched after all.

[towson9]

not saying they cant do it because they are very capable of going 32-0 but their last 12 games are on the road. so if they do end up having a loss on the season i guarantee it will be from one of their last 12 games, it will be a tough stretch for them.

Yeah. And I noticed one weekend coming up where they host 6 games on one weekend (I think against Pottstown, Richmond, and Scottdale). That could be tough to win 6 games in 3 days.
They definitely have to be playing at a real high level to pull it off.

[GROWL]

Harrisburg defeated the Inferno this afternoon in both games.

I think the scores were something like 3-1 and 7-1

Also heard Jake Werner played today, good to see ya back buddy.

[TheSnake22]

Ha thanks flynner... good to be back...

First game was 3-0, second was indeed 7-1. First game was close pretty much the whole way. 1-0 at half i think and then the Lunatics pulling away with 2 PP goals... Dave Long played stellar. 2nd game we definitely let the refs get under our skin to say the least... Scored first on the PP to go up 1-0, then Teddy Bartlett ripped one top shelp on a 2 on 1 shorthanded. After that we took an absurd amount of minor penalties, some legitimate, some imaginary, that killed any chance of coming back. Oh, and Jay Mazer is my daddy.

[patb16]

Marple and Pottstown split

Game 1: 6-4 (Pottstown)
Game 2: 7-2 (Marple)

I think the second game score is accurate, but not exactly sure... I know we def won the second game though.

[hockeynuts]

Pottstown at Marple

Minors-5-3 Gladiators
6-5 OT Gladiators

Pros--6-4 Express
6-2 Gladiators

[thebenchman]

anybody for the scores for Cincy/Midwest?

ugh!

[Dave Garland]

I'm trying to get the stats from the Monkey's I know the pro scores at least:

Tornados 6 Monkeys 1
Tornados 4 Monkeys 0
Tornados 10 Monkeys 0
Tornados 2 Monkey 1 in OT

I believe the Monkey's won the first two minor games and Tornado's won the third one. I'll find out more details ASAP

[PIHAGOALIE]

anyone know the outcomes of the Blizzard and Catz pro games?

[UrBoyPHarry]

Catz won both over the Blizzard.................surprised? me too!
