For the second year in a row, Squeakers the Cat did a lousy job of picking the games while our normal guy, Ernesto the Prediction Iguana, is on vacation. Squeakers went 4-2 – barely, thanks Steelers for helping save us from the first winless teaser week in AWITP history – and she went only 1-2 in teasers. I suppose it’s not her fault…I mean...
Trick and Treat – Senators Halt Streaks, Comets Steal Point By Jay Flemma – Special to Facewash Magazine UTICA, NY – Were there tricks or were there treats at the Utica Aud last night? I’m afraid it’s both. The Utica Comets saw two streaks halted by the Binghamton Senators 4-3 in overtime, yet still stole a point from their division...
Golden Goose Eggs – Utica Goalie Markstrom Seeks AHL Shutout Streak Record By Jay Flemma – Special to Facewash Magazine UTICA, NY – When the foghorn blared for the last time Saturday night at the Utica Aud, the ovation that rocked the arena from the basement to the rafters was more than just a tribute, it was an acknowledgement. The word had spread...
Ernesto the Prediction Iguana went a dismal 3-3 last week, 1-2 in teasers, dropping the season totals to a mediocre 7-8 in teasers, 20-10 overall. Who knew the Steelers would turn into a football team after those miserable losses to Cleveland, Baltimore, and Tampa? Thanks Packers for not covering, (for the first time this year with us anyway). And the normally...
We’ll have our recap of last night’s COMETS-barons Game 7 up later tonight. In the meantime, never let it be said that we don’t engage in self-effacing humor here:) Send in your captions too. Winner gets their’s published. AND KEEP IT CLEAN PEOPLE:) The best so far… 10. I had one drink with Jay and look what happened. 9. Who’s that...
by Jay Flemma, Special to Facewash Magazine UTICA, NY – There’s an old saying in football: if you have two quarterbacks, you have none. (See “Redskins, Washington” for Exhibit A). There’s a different saying in hockey: if you have two goalies, you win, and the plucky, feisty Utica Comets proved that adage true again. Continuing their...
COMETS DOUSE FLAMES, STREAK TO VICTORY IN HOME OPENER By Jay Flemma – Special to Facewash Magazine UTICA, NY – Riding a second consecutive shutout by goalie Jacob Markstrom and two 3rd period goals by Nicklas Jensen and Brandan DeFazio, the Utica Comets smothered the Adirondack Flames 3-0 in their home opener at a buoyant and rowdy Utica Memorial...
So until we get my new hockey writing website up and running, (not long now, I promise!), my new live coverage hockey column, FACEWASH! will appear here. Get psyched hockey fans – all the hard-hitting bone-jarring, sharp-shoooting action is coming at ya…Jay style! We’ll put you right on the ice, so close you can hear the scrape of the skates on the...
Ernesto must have been asleep at the switch when he made last week’s picks, because our normally world-class prediction iguana went dismal 1-2 in teasers and a bland 3-3 overall. Hey Ernesto! Quit courting Ashley there and get back to winning! We’re a mundane 6-6 in teasers on the season 17-7 overall. Here’s the plays that are sure to get us well...
Ernesto and I went 5-1 last week, (2-1 in teasers), bringing the season totals to 14-4 over all, 5-4 in teasers. Our only loss was the LIONS-vikings game…who knew those teams had defenses? We also kept winning by going with the Niners and playing against the Jets. We look to continue those trends this week. GREEN LIGHT! panthers +13 at PACKERS seahawks -1/2 at...
So we (that’s Ernesto the Prediction Iguana and I) went 4-2 overall last week, but just 1-2 in teasers, (stupid Lions lost to the hapless Bills…at home! Weak effort!) Anyway that brings the young season totals to 9-3 overall, 3-3 in teasers, but it’s early days yet. Here’s this weeks picks. Watch out! This week the numbers were dangerously...
