Week 7 Summary

Week 7 wraps up and we're left with Legion of Doom continuing his undefeated streak after beating the league's 2nd best team, Don't Toews Me Bro by 55 points in a good ol'fashion woopin!  It's starting to look like Legion of Doom may actually be unbeatable (cue evil laugh)...

Legion of Doom THE TYRANT!

18 Wheeler starts a ...GASP... winning streak after beating Jesus Krejci, My Team Sucks! by an astonishing 83.2 points.  That's a monstrous 2nd win to help him to tie for last place in the East with Moulson ICE who was delivered a loss by Team burd who snatched the win from Moulson ICE by a mere 3.1 points.  Team Pastorella took out Keep Calm And Bergeron to leap-frog over St. Pappys for 2nd place in the West.  Mötley Krüg kept Fresh Prince of Briere at bay proving that his Freshness doesn't last forever.  Finally, Legen...Wait For It...Dary extends her win streak to 5, and is now tied for 2nd place in the league, by handing St. Pappys his 3rd straight loss!

This week we have two big matches to keep our eyes on.  Legion of Doom looks to extend his undefeated tyranny over our league against Fresh Prince of Briere.... lets all hope he bought some Febreze to freshen up before this match!  We will have a 2nd place tie breaker match this week as Legen...Wait For It...Dary tries to extend her win streak to 6 over the lead in the West Don't Toews Me Bro.


On to the highlights!

We have to start this off with the underdog blowout win of 18 Wheeler over Jesus Krejci, My Team Sucks! by 83.2 points!  First off, this earned 18 Wheeler the Adding Insult AND Injury award for winning by the largest margin thus far in the season.  That's two monster victories in a row for this formerly win-less team.  Like I said last week, 18 Wheeler came to play, and you know what he opened a big ol'can of whoop ass too!  There was no single day and no single category that 18 Wheeler lost or even tied with Jesus Krejci, My Team Sucks!  This was perhaps the definition of an "ass whooping".  18 Wheeler has clearly grown tired of having that "win-less label" slapped on his team and figured a remedy of opening a can of whoop ass would be just what the doctor ordered!  Only this was no simple ordinary can of whoop ass!  It was the Fat Boy atomic bomb of whoop ass cans!  I imagine Monday morning just as the first puck dropped, 18 Wheeler reached for his can a'la whoop ass and....

18 Wheeler's Atomic Can a'la Whoop Ass!

Jesus Krejci, My Team Sucks! clearly got vaporized once the whoop ass hit him because he didn't make a single move all week!  Now 18 Wheeler is in a 2 way tie for last place in the East, and a 4 way tie for last place in the league... and right now he's looking for that other can of whoop ass... I think it's labeled "Little Boy" (know your atomic bomb history!).  With Team Pastorella in 18 Wheeler's sights this week it's looking like he'll need to open that can up!


After losing 2 games in a row the whole league had to question if the reign of the feared, St. Pappys, may have come to a close this season.  Legen...Wait For It...Dary pitted herself against the legendary team last week to see if this rumor was true.  For the first 4 days St. Pappys extended his lead over Legen...Wait For It...Dary by bits and pieces.  On the 5th day Legen...Wait For It...Dary took some of that ground back and the two went neck and neck every night until the 7th day.  St. Pappys had a small 5.3 point lead but Legen...Wait For It...Dary had almost a full roster ready!  As St. Pappys got two wins from his goalies it looked like an impossibly steep climb for Legen...Wait For It...Dary, but in came Braden Holtby and Patrick Sharp to save the day!  Holtby put up 13.2 point night making 46 of 47 saves while Sharp netted 2 goals and capped off the night with an assist worth 9.4 points.  Legen...Wait For It...Dary would go on that night to barely pull ahead of St. Pappys by the slim margin of 3.4 points.  Leaving St. Pappys in sheer disbelief while he froze up unable to produce words or even sounds to express this loss!

St. Pappys stunned by 3rd straight loss

It's difficult to express defeat after being so dominant in the past seasons.  Just ask the any Russian who recalls the date of February 22nd, 1980.  Sometimes words just don't come to mind quick enough when in that stunned state.  Thankfully in today's world we can express ourselves through other means.  That defeated feeling I'm referring to is a lot like a belly-flop times... 1,000!  You soar so high that falling to the ground seems like an impossible event.  Being in that heat of the moment daze from your seemingly endless wins puts your mind at ease so that you don't notice the ground getting closer at an alarming rate.

St. Pappys fall from his legendary role

Ahhh. who would have though that the winds, fueled by your wins, would turn against you and drive you face first into the ground monster belly-flop style!  I imagine St. Pappys realized what was about to happen in the final hours of Sunday as he saw Legen...Wait For It...Dary's score just barely eclipse his own... and that's when he knew.... this is about to hurt....

St. Pappys realizing how far he's fallen

Legen...Wait For It...Dary was actually speechless too after her last minute victory over St. Pappys, but she knew how to celebrate still!

Legen...Wait For It...Dary fist pumps after her victory

Now that one legendary dynasty is in the midst of falling another is rising into it's place.  Legion of Doom is quickly becoming a hated force from the East.  He stretched his undefeated streak to 7 after bring down the hammer on Don't Toews Me Bro, who was 2nd in the league at the time. 

Legion of Doom bringing down the Hammer!

Once again Legion of Doom exhibited sheer domination beating Don't Toews Me Bro by 55 points and taking home the Victory Dance awarded weekly award for scoring the most total points in the week.  As a matter in fact his goalies ALONE scored as many points as 33% of last week's teams.  Legion of Doom has been simply rolling over the league.  He hasn't played 4 teams in the league yet, but it's looking like he may go undefeated in his first match against each team.  He now has to defend his undefeated title against the arguably easier team, Fresh Prince of Briere.

Who do you think will eventually bring down the tyrant rule of Legion of Doom?

Thank you for another great week GM's!
