Week Thirteen:
“Muffler” Mike Kostiuk:
PCLC @ COL
Panther City. As I said last week, the next three games were of vital importance to PCLC. They take the season series with the reeling defending champs.
CGY @ LV
Calgary. Roughnecks are on a roll, and rolling over the most of the West Division at the moment.
NY @ ROC
Rochester. This will be a close one, but Rochester has figured out how to edge their opponent in tight games (especially at home). NY has not quite done the same yet.
ALB @ GA
Georgia. The Swarm finally meet a team that is struggling as much as them, and send their fanbase home happy.
VAN @ SASK
Saskatchewan. Vancouver has been playing better as of late. Unfortunately for them, so have the Rush.
Shawn Slaght:
Panther City vs Colorado
Pick – Panther City
This game is going to have huge playoff implications. Colorado is searching for answers as to why their offence has gone quiet. If they don’t pick up the pace, they’ll have an uphill battle to make the playoffs.
Calgary vs Las Vegas
Pick – Calgary
Calgary is arguably the hottest team in the league right now. With San Diego losing last week, first place is now in their sights. Vegas continues to improve but doesn’t have the horses to keep up with the ‘Necks.
New York vs Rochester
Pick – Rochester
New York trading Callum Crawford means this is Jeff Teat’s team. Problem is he is the only one producing. Teat will once again have a big game, but Rochester has more depth. Teat is exceptionally good, but he can’t beat teams single-handedly.
Albany vs Georgia
Pick – Georgia
At some point injuries can no longer be an excuse for Albany. There are few bright spots for the Firewolves. The Swarm may be winless but lately they’ve at least been competitive. This is their chance to get their first “W”.
Vacouver vs Saskatchewan
Pick – Saskatchewan
Last time these two teams met the Warriors played one of their best games of the year on home floor, yet still couldn’t pick up the win. They now head into a very hostile environment that is the SaskTel Centre against a Rush team that’s coming off the high of knocking off the Seals. First place is still in reach for the Rush as well. They need to keep pace with Calgary and San Diego.
Gary Groob:
PCLC vs. Colorado
Panther City wins.
This Panther City team is on the rise, while Colorado is having some consistency problems. With the additions of Jake Fox and Callum Crawford to an already potent lineup Panther City will be victorious.
Calgary vs. Las Vegas
Calgary wins.
Calgary has been on a streak since the Currier trade. Look for another dominating Roughnecks performance.
New York vs. Rochester
Rochester wins.
Rochester has had room weeks to prepare for this game. The Knighthawks will keep the home undefeated streak alive.
Albany vs. Georgia
Georgia wins.
Georgia is due for a win. Look for Andrew Kew, and Ryan Lanchbury both to have breakout games.
Vancouver vs. Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan wins.
Vancouver doesn’t have the guns to compete with this Rush squad.
Ryan McMichael:
PCLC vs. Colorado
Colorado Mammoth
Calgary vs. Las Vegas
Calgary Roughnecks
New York vs. Rochester
Rochester Knighthawks
Albany vs. Georgia
Georgia Swarm
Vancouver vs. Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan Rush
