Inner Puck

Season 11
Team Profile
Inner Puck


The fan favorite to win the Blackie Cup this season. Explosive offense with Aqualicy, Rukus, Doobie, and darth. Not to mention an originale style of play. No cr sitting, and alot of offense comming from their mids like Dug and Lumi, not to forget Darth plays a two way game, but with wzl nerfed, his defensive game will not be as effective. The goal tending is questionable in Soxx, it's interesting that such a great team has a laggy euro in net. I really would like to just skip IP cause I could seriously ramble on for hours about each player on their team (minus Janus).
RuKuS has had a great career, he has lead many a great offense (season 6 SPC, MC, and now IP) yet he has no Cup, and no playoff success. Lets just call him Adam Oates playing for the Ottawa Senators. He also has that one big blemish in his career where he was banned for life. Yet, even without a Cup, I think rukus will make the HOF, though he'll likely have to have 2 more solid seasons to make up for his early career errors.

Aqualicy. Yes he's in league (again?) I am told he has said he isnt a rookie, and that he did play in league. Koho has always 'known' that Aqu was wolfkeeper, who played for BL. Im pretty sure Aqu is Elade from IHZ, and I had thought Wolfkeeper was Elade as well. Anyways, Aqu is a really good player, and even without him IP is solid all around, with him, they are like team Canada in this year's World Cup of Hockey.
Will Doobie play this season? His lag could be problems I am told. Im really unsure of his cituation, but aqu should replace doobie rather effectively, but having both would really be fucking annoying to try and stop, especially with rukus centering them.

Lets just skip to the starting lineup and I'll get back to the asskissing:
Offense> Aqu, Rukus, Doobie
Mid/D> Darth(Capt. Crunch) and luminate
Goalie> Soxx / Cyborg

On offense, you could easily rotate in; Indometh and Dug Fin and not have a drop in output. LW is said to be good, but I still think he has no talent, and has yet to prove himself as a having any skill. Regiments is much the same, they both make the dumbest mistakes, which IP masks easily by surrounding these two trashpals with the gods of hockey zone. So now that I got my personal vendetta across, lets discuss how on earth Regi won ROTY over Dug, and even Nana. Rukus and Co. You could insert Jumpers into this lineup and he would win ROTY. If you added Koroshi, you would then have to choose between the two, and I guess IP tried to have both Regi and Dug win, but somehow Regi won it. I guess dug was too cocky last season.

The amount of veterans on this team is only comparable to BA, and IP has the advantage of having vets that still care / still have skill. Boone is a good example, even tommydcat is an asset, as he could put special IP friendly code into the bots.

I really havnt seen Lumi around, so I assume this is why they got dragonwing0. Otherwise, I dont see why he joined this team. Cause while he is good, he will play less then he did on BL, not win a cup (rukus is cursed) and I really dont see the point of him being on IP if he doesnt play. Oh ya, tommy plays middy too, but I can understand him not caring about playing since he finds joy in coding (mmmm).

The only weakness IP might have is goal tending, and I suppose defense, but holy shit who cares if they dont have any defense at all. Goal tending is how IP will lose. Soxx will lagout, or just suck, and Cyborg will forget to show to games, and if he does show, when was the last time he played goalie? This weakness can only be taken advantage of by other solid defensive teams like: SPC/ILL/SL/MI/BA/HM. This is why SPC shocked IP last season, and it is why BL crushed IP en route to a twopeat.

So every team has their achillies. IP's wont matter much, but it will be the reason why they dont win the Cup, and the Curse will grow. Will IP recruit a solid goalie? Will they put all their hopes into Soxx? Will Lumi play goalie? Can Cyborg still do it, and actually, can Lumi? It wont matter untill the playoffs, they will dominate the regular season, lose 1 or 2 games and win their Conference. Note: they could lose more then 2 games if they are in the stacked conference. Aqu will lead the team offensive, but expect their starters to all put up massive numbers.
