Week 3 Book Titled "Slacking" Published

Week 3... a lot like Weeks 2 and 1...

This wraps up week 3, albeit almost an entire week later and there's more of the same! Southie Hard managed to wrangle away a complete reward sweep from Go Leafs Go All The Way, and our winners continue to win, and losers continue to lose. Although one loser managed to climb their way out of the pits in an epic battle of the goose eggs. Who was that winning loser? Read on to find out.

Matchup Review

TheBluePill Errections	292.8
N. Prov Quahogs	246.6

Because it is impossible for both teams facing each other to lose, a fateful flip of the coin chose the Blue Pills to 'win' their first game. Popping 4 of the Blue Pills in moves for the week, the Errections didn't lose a single daily matchup vs the Clams. Hurricanes Captain Eric Stall was a complete nonfactor in the NHL, going 3 games without a single point, but was pivotal in Quahog's 3rd loss in a row. Fans continue to hope there is a pearl in these clams.

Southie Hard	328.6
Raptor Bangers	338.1

Southie and the Bangers had the closest matchup of the week, with the spread being less than 10 points. It was a slugfest throughout the week, with each seeming to win or lose the next daily matchup. If not for the insane strategy of "Goaltending By Committee" implemented by the Bangers (who had SIX goalies play), this week could have belonged to Southie Hard. Tough luck, khed. Pissah.

Pray for Absolution	327.8
Return of the Mullet	251.6

Absolution returned the Mullet back down to Earth, with a smokeshow victory, despite his Goaltending doing their best to imitate the AHL, with an average of 12 points between them. No one knows what happened to the Mullet on Friday and Saturday, typically the biggest scoring days, where he totaled 81 whole points... Absolution had more on the Saturday alone. May be time to consider a new hairstyle.

Boston Romans	339
Shrew Crew	317

One of the league's under-performing teams was able to topple one of the best, with the Romans' democratic ways voting the Crew out of the winning column. The Crew had a great week from Crawford, but with their only other goalie delivering 7.5 points, it may be time to consider the Bangers' "All goalies, all the time" strategy. The Romans' trio of Nash, Ovechkin and Crosby scored big, with the Crew's biggest performers being all Canadiens. That should be an automatic -15 point deduction. 50 DKP Minus.

Thankscrivens Dinner	277.1
Go Leafs Go All The Way	357.7

It's week three, and I've considered just copying and pasting either of the past week's summary of Go Leaf's deconstruction of Southie Hard or the Raptor Bangers... but that would just be lazy, especially since this week had their biggest margin of victory over National Food Holiday. The Go All The Way's GM is so confident in their team, they were one of the only teams with zero moves; and why fix what ain't broke? Thankscrivens Dinner was pounding his chest with extreme authority, sporting 7.6 to 2.8 lead after Monday's daily matchup... nearly tripling the Leaf's score. Unfortunately it was not to be, as there are 7 days in a matchup which left 6 more days for Thankscrivens to get stuffed and carved.

Congratulations

The main congratulations here are for Southie Hard, who was the second team in two weeks to deny Go Leafs Go All The Way from a clean sweep of the rewards, stealing the Best Defenseman medal. Cherish it.
