Regs take care of Jets, keep grasp on third spot

bb







Regs lead from start to finish as they close in on a finals berth.

The finals picture became a lot clearer Monday night when the Regulators effortlessly took care of the Jets.

They now know winning the last two games is the only way to hold onto 3rd place and will see them take on Wasted in the semi finals.


The Regs may have cleaned up the mess from earlier in
the year, but The Wolf cautions them again, "lets not
start sucking each others dicks quite yet."


They now know winning the last two games is the only way to hold onto 3rd place and a finals spot. There are three rounds left. Let me break it down bullet point form, (or lets not, nah actually please humour me...)

Here's how it should go down:
  1. A bye next week - so that's a win

  2. vs Elwood who haven't won a game all year. Unless they bring in some serious NCAA Division 1 type ringers, this should be a win.

  3. Last round vs Chocolate Thunder. This is win or go home. The Choc Thunder win this and they get in. Make no mistake, this is a final before the finals. Just like Hawks/Bombers this weekend.
Different sport, same consequences
for these two teams


Oh – before I go, a bit of news for all you mad Regulator fans out there. Yes both of you.

Little Boys play like grown-ass men to stomp Regulators 58-45



#1 fan Francesca was blamed for the loss, and was
deported back to Italy shortly after the game.


Any number of issues could explain the deflating loss Monday night:

• the momentum-slowing BYE last week
• a hungry, more aggressive opponent
• superfan Francesca's magical sporting luck suddenly running out
• shit-awful officiating
• they were DUE FOR A LOSS

Any way you look at it one thing is clear - the LITTLE BOYS have defeated the Regulators twice this season and they're now in the top 4.

If they meet in the finals, will we see a similar result? Or will it be a THIRD TIME LUCKY type scenario?

I don't know, but fuck me with a pitchfork if this conundrum won't be keeping me up at night...pacing the hallway with a crazed look in my eye...blabbering incoherently...caressing a basketball...lightly fondling the valve hole...

Wait, did I just say that out loud?

Regs demolish Sole Provider and roll to sixth straight win

Regulators hold opponent to five second half points on their way to winning by 35



Monday's beatdown was on the level of this Godfather scene...

With only two less wins, Sole Provider seemed like a worthy test for the Regulators. No chance. Not only were they thoroughly shit players, but a late start gave the Regulators a 9 point advantage that kicked in at halftime. A manageable 11-18 deficit blew out to 11-27 and seemed to suck what little life Sole Provider had left.

What happened in the second half was a brutal ass-reaming as the Regulators played as a tight unit to win big and boost percentage.

Fielding a full squad for the first time in weeks, all the usual suspects got in on the act. Matt Leonard with two bombs from downtown being just one of many highlights.

The only downside for the Regs is a mandatory bye next Monday, but I doubt that will slow down this steam train as it chugs its way through Regular Season County on its way to the end destination: Finals Win Station.
