Well, thank goodness that is over. What a demoralizing and deflating week it was for Desolation Row. There was just nothing in the tank for me for some reason. Alas, it is a fresh week, full of opportunity and the hope of hauling myself back up to a respectable 2-2 record. Standing in my way, however, is The Juggernauts who seem to be firing on all cylinders of late. I don't fancy slipping to 1-3 really, so I am hoping for some magic. I have my eye on the Pho Col game right now. Hoping for Mike Smith to come up with a W for me. Lord knows I need it.
And what a week for Scoop. After slipping to a rather ugly 0-2 record, he came back with a spring in his step and rattled off 288.8 points. A very strong effort. He continues to roll tonight getting off to a fast start vs The Fitzsy Stars. Scoop has a strong schedule and if he can take advantage of it, then we could have ourselves a couple of 2-2 teams come weeks end.
No love on the Big Board for Oshie It! despite a magical effort vs Matt. That was a big win for all of us really because with this short season we can't let anyone slip ahead too far.
I have an eye on Soo Storm vs BCC this week. Can Ray get slow Brandon down a tad? He has a favourable schedule and is off to a quick start.
A couple of old farts made the Big Board this week. Elias, as our stud of the week, will be 37 in April and Selanne, who tallied 23.6 points in one game, will be 43 in July. Impressive.
Wishing you all a good week.
