Briefly, the Sweaters were streaky. They lost 3 straight to start the season. They Won 5 in a row, getting fat on weak opponents. Then played .500 ball to make the playoffs at 8-6.
Not the expected outcome from the once powerful division leaders; But the old bronze north this wasn't. Old Brogue and Cryptic Stench, two potential silver teams came to the division and ran roughshod over what was once a peacefully owned and happy land. Cryptic with their unwashed Jerseys and complete lack of genital hygiene were too much for the Sweaters in two regular season matches. The droid-preteen army presented by Old Brogue was simply one droid-preteen too many in their 2 matches with Lord Cosby's holy fighters.
Playoffs.
As the three seed the Sweaters faced off against their week 14 adversary, The Ivan Drago's. Despite the comedy act the sweaters were able to focus in the last game of the regular season. Feeling strong going into the rematch, they were nearly unseated. An up and down high scoring game was the theme, tender Ron Whaley surrendered a few early goals that would have not been commonplace in the regular season. A solid effort in the late third and a miraculous overtime goal kept the Sweaters in the bracket and out of Ted Shaffer's closet of embarrassment and shame.
In the second round the adversary would be of much better quality. Thankfully the Sweaters showed up in earnest this time. Against the Cryptic Stench (11-3) the Sweaters were able to get 3 early goals in response to a fluke first shot fired by cryptic. Riding on the back of Backup Goalie Kevin Durkin the Sweaters coasted to a 5-1 win. A statement win heading into the showdown with the droid-preteen army. Old Brogue.....
Finals. Best of 3 series.
Game one.
