2008 USCL Quarterfinals Predictions

Well, the Bionic Lime model is in last place in the prediction contest after the regular season, but places 2, 3, and 4 are all very close. This week is the Lime's week to shine!

The theme of this week is simple... upsets, upsets, upsets!

BOSTON vs QUEENS

Queens (perhaps unintentionally) is shooting itself in the foot again this week, with a Lenderman-free lineup. Well, at least Lenderman will keep his near-perfect record nearly unblemished, as he won't get to play again this year.

Prediction: Boston 3.0 - 1.0 Queens

NEW YORK vs CAROLINA

Well, the Eastern division champion Carolina Cobras have proven that you don't need any GMs in your lineup to do excellently in the league. Come playoff time, though, it is a different story.

Prediction: New York 3.0 - 1.0 Carolina

SAN FRANCISCO vs DALLAS

The big guns are out on the bottom boards in San Francisco, as the "our combined ages are under 30" guys will be fighting it out. In the end, the Destiny meets itself.

Prediction: San Francisco 2.5 - 1.5 Dallas

MIAMI vs SEATTLE

Nakamura is back for Seattle after his big European win. My advice to him is to stop playing those patzers like Ivanchuk and Carlsen, and get back to the real deal, 2007 USCL MVP Julio Becerra. The Sharks are unstoppable again.

Prediction: Miami 3.0 - 1.0 Seattle
