WK25 - Spoiler

Oh my good golly. We're about to wrap up this Wring'd thing, and I can't ---

"Believe it?!" screamed McGuire.

Yes, thanks for taking my words, once again, McGuire. Never a dull moment with this cue ball around. We didn't get to hear much from McGuire this year, with his ever-increasingly busy schedule and NBC employment. Oh where were the days when he'd just be on the TSN panel, screaming at his counterparts just to prove a point that everyone already knew?

Anyways, WK25 is in the books, and Burgundy seems even closer to closing in on his second consecutive Championship. He's playing spoiler for sure; storming out to the front after remaining dormant for most of the season, about to rob the Title Belt from the Silver Lion.

"There are no words - seriously, none at all - that could describe my utter disappointment," said Safari. "I'm seriously depressed. This is comparable to how I felt when the Leaf's lost to Boston."

Oh dear; that's a tough depression, Safari. I remember watching that game myself. Being the Sens fan that I am, I admit I had a hell of a time watching that game. I laughed so hard that my tummy (full of salted-poutine) hurt for days. But, I feel for you. Both then, and now.

Here are the charts, courtesy of the stats machine:

Burgundy was top bread winner again this week, chowing down 143.80 fantasy points, followed by Safari, who admirably put home 127.95 fantasy points. Burgundy upped his PPGP to a League-leading 3.36; Sitch remains in second with a 3.35.

"Ugh, it's useless now," said Sitch. "I'd have to outscore Burgundy 2-1 in the final week to even have a chance."

It's true; Sitch has a damn close PPGP, but with the games he's left on the table, it's unlikely he'll be able to make a run. His goalie situation, which has looked pretty stable all year long, is suffering from injuries, and it doesn't look like he'll be able to cash in those games. And, with Stamkos out, scoring appears to have dried up for the meat head. It seems over for the Sitch.

An undisciplined, over-carbo-loaded, whiny Sitch at the gym (yesterday).

Both Dick Burns and Tree Bone area also out, as they have way too many games left on the table. Both could not be reached for comment; they were out living their lives to the fullest.

So it seems that the fate of the Wring will be left up to two select-GM's: Burgundy, as long as he stays the course, and Safari, if he has an outstanding week while Burgundy has an off week. It's possible.

"No... it's not," said Safari.

Never give up, Safari. You haven't had a good week in almost a month, and Burgundy has had five stellar weeks in a row. Don't you think you're overdue? Chin up, my dear Lion. 

May the best man win.

Cordially,

- the Fucking Randy
