Week Eight - 2023

[Matnum PI]

We are a bubble team as I predicted preseason, but I Only got 3 out of 6 right for sure playoff teams missing on FCA, Matnum and DU-FAN.

Lots of surprise teams...

[Lax1]

No way it’ll change the outcome but my lineup is way off. Should be the same as last week (Teddy Malone instead of Luke Murphy iirc, that may be wrong but Luke Murphy was definitely not in that’s fs)

[Matnum PI]

Making things a little bit more interesting this week. I’ll start Teddy Malone over Dyson Williams, and throw in the Harvard D. Dyson has been frustrating lately, would much rather root for the young guy, and I’ll be cheering for Harvard in their matchup anyway.

Andrew McAdorey SO A Duke 0
James Shipley SR M Upenn -
Chop Gallagher JR A/M Towson -
Tommy Barnds JR M Princeton -

Looks like the Quarterfinals will be (though not necessarily in this order):
1 Typical Lax Dad
2 ohmilax34
3 HipandKneeDoc
4 Keoni007
5 UK Lax

And then these 4 teams (below) will be fighting for the final 3 spots:
6 PA Talk 88... If NJLax wins, PA will be in trouble. (They might win on Tuesday and be safely in if G'town's D totally blows it but this isn't likely vs. Loyola.)
7 CalLaxDad 90... Seemingly in.
8 Farfromgeneva 102... Seemingly in.
9 NJLaxx11 91... Needs to win (and it's a close one) and then they'll take PA Talk's spot.

NJ Lax is seemingly the main game to watch on Tuesday:

NJLaxx11 - vs. HipandKneeDoc -
Devon McLane SR A Brown 4 - Graham Bundy SR M Georgetown 0
Brian Minicus SR A/M Georgetown 0 - Tynan Walsh SO M UPENN 3
Danny Caddigan SO A Cornell - - Tayden Bultman FR M UNC -
Kyle Borda M SR OSU 1 - Brian Cameron SR A Rutgers -
David Sprock SR M Rutgers - - Sam Handley SR A/M Penn 4
Jon Jarosz JR A NAVY 5 - Jack Traynor SR A PSU -
Colin Michener FR A Villanova - - Brennan O'Neill JR A Duke 3
Ryan Evans JR M JHU - - Cade Caggiano SO A Georgetown -
Shane Murphy FR A Rutgers - - Reese Burek SR A Army 2
Hugh Kelleher JR M Cornell 1 - Antonio Topouzis SO M Cornell -
Richie LaCalandra SR A OSU - - Paul Johnson SR A Army 5
Cade Eldred FR M Denver - - Brooks English FR M JHU -
Shane O’Leary SO M Umass 1 - Matt McMillen FR M Upenn -
PSU D 1 - Army D -1
- 13 - - 16

Too close for comfort and we have to wait until tomorrow night to get the results. Hoping NJ doesn't get a buzzer beater!

Against HipandKnee, too. HipandKnee is strangely losing steam...

[Farfromgeneva]

I thought we were going to get crushed early having no idea what’s going on and starting 0-2 but the freight train is coming for people now!

Of course or draft has been mixed. Couple kids injured for season, two no PT for Goldberg or Cesare. But return a decent amount for next year w C Kav, Sam King, Eric Dobson as the core. Helpful that Poitras was formally moved to midfield this year.

[Farfromgeneva]
