Weekly Power Rankings

Impressive

13 Griff Griffin (-1) – He made me a liar and I don’t appreciate it.

12 Mo – He’s so funny.

11 Zack (E) – This is his mulligan week. He can’t afford to miss another.

10 Mike D (E) – I know his shoulder is messed up and he can’t wind up, but he has to figure out how to get the ball in the air the whole way to the net so they can’t pick his shot off so easily.

9 Nick (-1) – That shot is really costing the team goals. The chances are coming in bushels and nothing is coming of them. It wasn’t too long ago when Nick wished he could get the chances that Borges gets. You’re getting them Nick.

8 Mike W (+1) – Leading the Gamewinners right out of the gate with the first goal of the game on a tough angle, weak backhander that the goalie knocked in himself. They don’t ask how right? I’ll tell you one thing though, he loves watching the other team pass the ball around when he’s playing defense.

7 Darrin (E) – Second week in a row where he’s been victimized by his own defenses breakdowns and faced shots that are near impossible to save. But still need that big save. If you haven’t noticed, breakdowns are kinda this team’s specialty. They need you to come up big more often. Maybe if you could’ve stopped that bowling ball of a man’s breakaway I could've accepted your performance tonight.

6 Ron (E) – Didn’t notice Ron too much tonight. Nothing stands out as a great play or bad play. Maybe I’m missing something though.

5 Billy (-1) – Did nothing egregious to move down a spot. And I was actually impressed with his keep ins all game long. There was a 4 minute stretch in the first period where the defensemen kept the play in zone like 5 times. But sometimes others just have a great game.

4 Johnny (+1) – Two great goals by Johnny. Big goals that the Gamewinners desperately needed from him tonight. Way to step it up. Although he was late….he should probably be marked down for that….it’s already typed. Oh well.

3 Brett (-1) – Yes he was deathly ill, and like a soldier he gave the team everything he had. Unfortunately that translated into a bunch of turnovers and defensive play that’s been lacking over the past several weeks come to think of it. Has anyone else notice that too? The game winner was his only saving grace. WPR loves himself a game winner.

2 Borges (+1) – He racks up the points even if that involves a vulture assist on Jared’s EN goal at the end. He was clutch this game netting the tying goal and making an even more beautiful airmailed pass to send Brett in for the winning goal. But I love nitpicking, and that turnover in the neutral zone that led to a goal the other way kept him from reaching the top of WPR mountain this week.

1 Jared (E) – Jared has no sympathy for his teammates and no excuses either. He saw Brett struggling to make plays and called him on it. He belittled the kid on the other team for a good solid minute during play for faking an injury. He coached up the team during a timeout and wanted no heroes this game. We may have a new captain on our hands. Lead them Jared. Lead them.
