Week Preview

In our first game, the Avalanche host the Quetzals as both teams look to grab their first victory of 2017. Seeing as Colorado have scored more points so far this season I'll back them to take out both the league and reserves matches.

Las Vegas were mighty impressive last week, but they take on a good Houston side with plenty to play for at 1-1. Houston in a tight one, while the reserves match should be a good one also.

Ottawa sit tied for top spot, with Wisconsin right behind them at 1-1 - despite scoring 37 more points this season. Ottawa's luck will probably run out this week against a premiership threat, but who knows. It's also a top-of-the-table clash in the reserves (again, Montreal probably lucky to be that high), which should be interesting.

Our next match pits unbeaten teams against each other - the table-topping, high-scoring (but inconsistent?) Panthers against the skillful (but not too speedy) Ducks. If Carolina can match their effort from last week they'll get up - but can they? Home ground advantage to the Panthers could be the key here. In the reserves, the Dragons will hope to get a win and climb off the bottom of the ladder, while the Tar Heels look to hang on in the top 8.

The same old story for the Grizzlies - playing well but injuries and bad luck are taking their toll and really pushing their depth .The Hawks have been solid this season and a win would really help their push for finals, but they will be tested against a side 18 months off a premiership, no matter the injuries. The ressies match should be a good one, with the sides averaging 61 and 60.5 points per game this season.

In the final match of the round, two top-six sides clash with the four points very valuable. Boston at home you'd back, but you can't write off this plucky Sharks outfit who are hungry to get back above a .500 record. In the reserves, both teams will want to get their first win of the season.

Res: Travis Cloke (C), Ben Ainsworth, Lewis Jetta, Jarryn Geary, Nick Vlaustin, Aliir Aliir, Brett Eddy, Josh Cowan, Ben Reid, Harry Marsh

Can I start naming a second forward line and no midfield? And that's after trading Wingard away.

Obviously, I'm biased, but there's some actual depth in Quito and the side doesn't even look too bad.
Midfield is the lightest line, but with so many young M/Fs who will eventually be M only, it is also very positive.
Plenty to like about lots of these players going forward.

Apparently this baked potato continues to fail to notice the other teams have an extra utility  ::) ::)

Also, Ainsworth is supposedly out, so I intend to add Lang to Res if that's confirmed soon.
