Introduction
The Week Two – Game of the Week pits, perennial power, PA Talk against HipandKneeDoc.
PA Talk has been in the FanLax League for 13 years. PA Talk has won the FanLax Championship 3 times, played in the Championship Final 4 times, played in the Semi-Finals 7 times, and played in the FanLax Quarter-Finals 9 times. Year-in and year-out, for 13 years, PA Talk has pieced together competitive teams that command respect.
HipandKneeDoc has been in the FanLax League for 7 years.
Hang on. Who picked this Game?
So, here’s the story. Last season, PA Talk barely missed the play-offs. One of his regular season losses was to… HipandKnee in OT. (UNC’s Will Perry had the goal.) With this win, HipandKnee finished the 2017 Season 3-5. PA Talk finished the 2017 Season 4-4 and… in 9th Place. (The Top Eight go to the Play-Offs.) While heart-breaking for PA Talk, this game was extremely enjoyable for everybody else. Our hope is by making this a Game of the Week, we’ll garner as much pleasure from this game as we did in 2017.
