Fourward March

Playoffs Week 3: November 20, 2022

I am running out of Canadian-themed ideas for the front page, so I Google ‘Canadian four’ in desperation, and hit on this gem. The fact that a developed country actually minted a FOUR dollar bill means that just about anything can happen in this crazy world, and certainly anything can happen in the final two weeks of Fall League 2022 playoffs. Just four teams remain…two high seeds, and two low seeds…who will cash out, and who will cash in and take top bill-ing (see what I did there)? Playoffs will resume after the Thanksgiving break.

Six To Go

Week 2 Playoffs: November 13, 2022

The original ten teams are down to the original six, as two playoff teams became dead soldiers on the playoff end table, standing sadly in a shallow sea of stray Smarties, and clumps of Cheezies crumbs. Green and White are the toast of the playoffs, thus far, but only one can pass on to the Final without spilling a drop. Navy, Black, Grey, and Neon are all hoping they can avoid being the ‘cold ones’, and can live to order another round…

Back Up Plan

Playoffs Week 1: November 6, 2022

Tails…Red loses. Captain Brandon Olsen and ‘Nicelbackcheck’ were the only underdogs to overcome in Week One of playoff action this past Sunday. The six seed now has designs on pressing their unexpected momentum against second seeded White, while Red will need to regroup and survive the Loser’s Bracket trenches, as the playoffs flip to the knockout stage.

Take Off

Week 9: October 30, 2022

The hosers have left the building, and the remaining eight competitors are bundled up, and heading north into playoff country. Everyone wants to sip Molson from the Cup, but there can be only one. Find out who takes the first step forward, and who falls back this Sunday, eh…

Maple Leave

Week 8: October 23, 2022

“OAT, OAT…and STAY OAT!” I am paraphrasing here, but these words were overheard on Sunday, as Gold and Blue were officially sent packing from the playoff picture. The remaining eight teams have nothing to lose (nor gain) in the final Sunday of regular season play, save positioning, pride, and the plumping of personal points.
