Today, with three games in, we take a look at how the first round is progressing. there are some surprising upsets in the making. Currently we are looking at the potential for one major upset in the Ice Bucket playoffs and the emergence of the feel good story of the season in the Ice Chips bracket.
The Saskatoon Sasquatches having been giving the Boston Benders a true run for their money this week. The Benders, still reeling from that narrow loss last week, put up huge numbers in Monday’s match, but dropped Tuesday’s game by more than 40 points. That win has led to the Sasquatches holding a 5 point lead over the Benders with four games to go.
Injuries have devastated the Milwaukee Monarchs ranks this week and may have cost them their chances to win against the Denver Demon Donkeys. The Donkey’s managed to eek out a small win on Monday, but took full advantage of the Monarchs depleted ranks on Tuesday; where the Donkeys outscored the Monarchs by a margin of nearly 50 points. The Monarchs were quick to conscript players from their farm teams and posted a win on Wednesday, but the Monarchs still face an uphill battle to earn back the 30+ points that they are currently down by.
Team Moran, still rudderless with the loss of owner Mark Moran, has taken it to the Seattle Wolves early on this week. The Wolves have been caught flat footed early on, but with Team Moran suffering injuries this week, the Wolves are hoping that a change to their fortunes is in the wind.
The Richmond Prexies have redoubled efforts this week in honor of their late owner, Dom Prudente. The Prexies currently hold a lead over the Cleveland Blackjacks, setting a new team record for most nights in the lead. Will the Prexies be able to hold on for the next four nights and honor Dom with a win?
