Parity League Session 2 Finals Prediction & Nonsense

Submitted by Sebastien Belanger on Thu, 2017-04-27 09:19

Forums:

Can someone post the attendence report for the finalist? Is Piper back from teaching baby seals how to dodge clubs? Will there be weak links missing the game? Is someone going to sub an above average player with someone who is elite? The Parity League prognoticators need to know!

Tim's out. Pat and Sam are day to day. Piper is back.

I believe 99 Problems will only be missing Richard Gregory (vacation).

Meagan Doyle makes her much-anticipated return after missing 4 games!

It's no surprise to see Justine in the finals again.  She manages to find her way onto championship teams.  How many parity finals is this for her?  3?  8?  12?

Time to throw my credibility on the line!!  

Scott Higgins will be pivotal.  Expect 6 throwaways but a butt ton units of hustle.

Martin Cloake will have a quiet stat game but come up huge with important Ds towards the end.

Who's covering Ashlin?  7 points from her coming up.

Jay Fraser set high expectations with his amazing D last week.  Expect another this week.

Keates decides to show up in high socks and short shorts because parity.  The crowd will appreciate.

Jim Robinson will D one of Jessie's hucks and must sleep on the couch as punishment.

99 Problems is favored to win by 4.

I'll take the over on Higgins throwaways at 6.

Martin was finals MVP in session 1 so it would just be obnoxious for him to have a good game.

Under on Ashlin getting 7 points- too much D in finals.

Yes, to amazing JFraser D, high socks for ChrisK and Jim on the couch.

99 Problems has 12 problems called the Kell's Angels roster. They are definitely the underdog. 

Expect the veteran elements on 99 Probs to go Bill Murray Hercules on their ass.

With the session's 3 top scorers in the game, I expect a low scoring game, with Berries all around.

I'll be reading this to prepare:

As the #1 pre-game parity prognosticator, I owe it to my fan(s) to deliver a finals breakdown for OCUA’s flagship league.

Handling:  Chris Sullivan from 99 Problems is the Golden Boy of Ottawa ultimate with more championships to his name than he has fingers and toes. Only a fool bets against the Golden Boy with the title on the line but he’s lost one tenth of a step and is going up against some young folk who are pretty close to their prime. The question is will “elite” defenders like Higgins and Piper be able to slow him down. Even if they do, Justine, Michelle and Jessie are more than capable of making it rain discs anywhere they want. So while Kells Angels have some of this league’s best handlers, I don’t think they are quite at the same level. Advantage: 99 Problems

Cutting: Kells Angels have two cutters that are uncoverable in Martin (height) and Ashlin (speed). The Chris, Krys and Jason combo on 99 Problems have been known to get into the endzone a few times but they’re not quite at the same level. Advantage: Kells Angels

Top end men: Keates, Krys, Sully vs. Kells, Cloake, Higgins, Piper

99 Problems will need to get one of their mid-tier guys to play big against Kells’ top tier guys. I suspect grumpy old man Burton will get the call up and play tough veteran defense but this might not be enough. Advantage Kells Angels

Women: Michelle, Jessie and Justine vs. CA, Sam (day-to-day), Ashlin and Christine

As hard as it is to cover Ashlin, I can honestly say I’ve never seen Justine shut down. Playoffs is the time for gritty veterans like Justine and Michelle to remind the young guns that they’re not quite done with winning. Advantage: 99 Problems

Other men: Simon, Jason and Rob vs. Pat (day-to-day), Jim and Brian

All these guys can play and Brian has proven to be a talented centerpiece for any parity offense as a primary handler. Jason is the league's 3rd highest scorer (I don’t know how he does it) while Simon has had a stats award named after him. Rob and Pat do all the little things that help teams win and Jim will do his best to ruin his wife’s chances of winning a title. In the end, I think it’s Brian’s handling which will make the difference in this motley crew. Advantage: Kells Angels

This game will be a low scoring affair and I will be cheering the entire time for a tie (i.e. calling disc up and yelling at defenders from the sideline for the team that is behind). If everything goes as planned, we will get to watch a universe point that will end with Kells Angels finally beating the veteran laden 99 Problems (19-18).

Michelle will not be playing tonight. Meagan Doyle will make her return after a four week absence.
