| ODDS: | Kings by 1 |
| OVER/UNDER: | 9 |
Oh, boy! This is going to be a good one! In the ultimate grudge match the UVHL's most heated rivalry meets for the third time in four years in the semi-finals. The Kings claim to have won the Whalen Cup last season. Bollocks! There was no championship and Tuck and the Kings were co-champions, but then the Kings did their usual "we can't play then" and bailed out of the Finals, so you tell me who really deserves last season's Whalen Cup? Yeah...we think so, too. These teams bring out the best and the worst in each other. It can be beautiful hockey that is fast, hard working, with great passes and scoring chances, or it can be like the classic movie Slapshot. Who will show up for the Kings tonight? Their best line-up, or their line-up that doesn't give a shit? The Nords have their hands full, but can take it if they play their very best, but the Kings are the most talented team with potentially the best offense, definitely the best defense, and average goaltending. I'd have to favor the Kings by a goal in a game that will go deep into the third, but you never know, and that is why we always play the game.
