JeLLyPiG, in another venue earlier this week, typed "Which High Rollers team will show up? I'm hoping it's that tough bunch of up and comers. I love watching the Heathers rise to a challenge."
I too would love to see the High Rollers bring it. They have a team loaded with talent, and they have made it all cohere at least once this season, when they took down the Betties in the seeding tourney.
I fully expect the Heathers to take the win in this one, though, if for no other reason than that, at this point in the season, they have a grab-bag of well-tested strategies they can deploy in any surprising combination they choose. Oh that and they have a team loaded with talent.
See you in the comments.

To be a High Rollers fan is to embark upon a roller coaster ride of jubilation and heartbreak, often in rapid succession.
They absolutely have the talent. I believe (and I expect disagreement) that in theory - on an evening when everything clicked into place consistently - they have the potential to beat the Heathers.
But that's the thing: consistency. Or rather, lack thereof. I'm not enough of a strategist to know if the problem is with strategies or whether it's something more intangible - something like "group energy". To me, it just seems like either they're "on" or they're "off." They might be "on" for a few jams of incredible play. And then immediately and totally fall apart.
I have no explanation.
I just hope that they figure out what they need to do to be more consistently "on", and give a hell of a fight this Saturday.
Well, I am not going to offer any argument to Dancing Scott. I would prefer to see the High Rollers challenging the Heathers than some status quo bout on Saturday.
It's selfish really,I am making a real choice between staying in Vancouver to see Terminal City face off against those nasty Ratz or come home to see my team play.
So if I give up that TCRG vs Ratz bout, I want it to matter.
Oh yeah, I also have these wacky theories about complacency going into the "Play Offs", combined with wanting the June bouts to really be emotionally charged but I'll spare you that dribble.
I just hope both these teams bring their best game to the hanger on Saturday.
I got money on the rollers with their 5 to 1 odds to win on Saturday. No place or Show for this one
Okay Mr. Wonderful, you're on! I’ll take some of that action! Say twenty bucks worth?
Dancing Scott, I love roller coasters. Especially when I’m intoxicated!
Is gaming allowed on the blogo'sphere?
Maybe i should be a bout bookie. I might make some money on the exotic bets. like: 20 to 1 on first one ejected, or over unders, or first jammer to break 30 points in a game. The problem with betting on sporting events like this, is that you hope for the the weirdest situations to happen so that you cash in.
The only reason i would bet the HR's is because they got a full roster and they are probably gunna come out swingin knowin that they got a chance to pull an upset. the heathers got alot of injuries that they could use Saturday.
Its not a dead lock though. The heathers' still look better on paper, got alot superior skill and great coaching.
Enough though. I put the HH's at 2 to 1 favorites and the HR at 5 to 1 underdogs. It's gunna be a tight bout.
I'm a gambler and i always bet on the rollers, its gunna pay off one of these bouts. i still owe countless beers to the rest of the heathers men for my fun with the odds.
Last night I heard, from an unaffiliated party, a rumor of Goodie's return to the track.
I actually heard that rumor too, at the BB vs HR bout from this woman that looked exactly like Goodie. Curious...LOL!
