Bye- Team Orange

6:00 -O’Malley v. Spadoni -3 – returning Champs trying to avoid an 0-2 start after a heart-breaking loss last week and I expect a much shorter rotation this week to give them a chance to get in the win column. They also catch a break since Team Spadoni will once again be without Shimko.  Assuming Koll is back from playing Mrs. Doubtfire, Team Spadoni should still prevail considering the depth of their roster unless McCann can carry his team to the win and he should meet with little resistance. Terry (T-Bone) McGuffrage will be the X factor for Team Spadoni. In a redemption game, DeCarlo will be the “X” factor for Team O’Malley.

7:00- McEldowney -4  v.  Harrigan- Team Harrigan is off to a slow start but last week’s game can be disregarded since they only had 4 players of their own but Brian Harrigan did find away to hoist up 35 shots. Team Harrigan will need to find a way to get more players involved on offense especially. the big men. Team McEldowney suffered a tough opening lost to Team Healy in OT but played better than expected. Pete Spain will be the X factor for Team McEldowney and if anyone can “slow” Kevin H down it is Spain. Goyke could be the X factor for Team Harrigan even he can get enough touches or any touches for that matter.

8:00- B. Healy v. Wagner -6- With McAvoy expected to miss his 3rd straight game and Team Wagner expected to have a full squad for the first time this season, this should be the game that gives them their first win. They will have to figure out away to match-up with B. Healy and Smallbone with their relative lack of size. If Packy and Bendo can get out and run this may be enough to neutralize their size disadvantage. Kessenich will be an  “x” factor for team Healy. Since this will be Bendo’s first game he will be the X factor for Team Wags.

9:00- Manzke   v. Healy -5- time to find out which one of these 2-0 teams is a pretender and which one is a contender. Some really good match-ups across the board- Sexton v. Carroll, Hunt v. McGelligot and  Manzke v. Slager.but look for either Healy(I expect nothing less than a double-double) or O’Malley to be X factors assuming they can keep up with the run and gun style of team Manzke. Team Healy’s bench could also be a deciding factor even without Alkofer. More importantly. Team Manzke will destroy Team Healy at the bar.
