Playoff Preview: "If you want a gurantee, buy a toaster. - Clint Eastwood"
First, congratulations to the Green team for holding off the Orange team and taking the regular season championship. Second, below is the playoff predictions they are unbiased and not meant to cause hurt feelings. Last year I was 3 out of 4 correct in my predictions, essentially I am the Mel Kiper of 3v3 predictions.
Play-in Game: YELLOW(4) vs BLACK(5) - If you are not playing in the play I would not show up until after this game is over. If you do show up, please keep your jeering and name calling to a minimum. Last week I was part of a Yellow and Black game and it was either a 3 on 0 one or a 3 on 0 the other. Keys to Success: Mikey tripping people behind the play and Gator scoring 0 goals. Prediction - Black 2-1 (2 shootout wins)
Semi Finals: ORANGE(2) vs BLUE(3) - The toughest game to predict, Kogs has rallied his team by bringing in fresh legs but going off games played the ORANGE team has the freshest legs with Liebs only playing 3/5 of the season. Like they say - A Hungry dog run faster. And Kogs has NEVER won a Greasy Mitts Championship. Keys to Success: Brando out muscling Haider, Druk shooting the puck across ice when he lets an easy one in. Prediction - Orange 2-0.
Semi Finals: GREEN(1) vs BLACK(5) AKA Salt and Pepper vs the Perfect Tousle AKA Darrel Curtis vs Ponyboy Curtis - I'm not Don King so I am not going to pump this up like it is some David vs Goliath or Goku vs Super Goku. This might be a huge blow out and be the fastest 2-0 series ever or this might go the distance. Keys To Success: Dan taking over and not being shut down by Tyler. Brausen hitting the net. Prediction - Green 2-0
Championship: GREEN(1) vs ORANGE(2) - The two best teams the whole season(minus the 1 week after the trade happen) have made it to the championship. Two Ice Hawks vs One Ice Hawk. Phil and Gally will need to close down the ice against the shifty Bobby and Luke while Dan and Hockert can provide some shots on straight leg Bennik. Keys to Success: Benik doing what he does best(win championships), Phil blocking shot and knocking people through the boards. Prediction - Orange 2-0
