Jimmy the Greek's
Over/Under odds
This year Jimmy comes back from the dead to
set the odds on the Chaos Over/Under. This man is famous for
knowing more than anyone about sports odds. You would be wise to
take this very seriously. Odds shown are for taking the over.
For you idiots, 100-1 means the player will be over 1 in 100 times -
almost no chance. |

Belding, Preston |
8 |
F |
Preston Sonic Belding has been under fire for the last
few years. A total lack of production is the obvious reason.
It is almost like living in Columbus has made him like a Blue Jacket.
This year he is bringing a friend. Let's hope this motivates him to
get hot and contribute on the score sheet.
13-1 |
|
Benninger, Steve |
19 |
C |
Last year was a low point in Benninger's Chaos career.
He could not put up one single goal. The word on the street is that he
has not played much but he is motivated and feels he has something to prove.
This is correct - he does have something to prove. He needs to
prove he is better than the oldest guy on the team. I think he
has a legitimate chance to bounce back.
2-5 |
|
Channer, Dwight |
42 |
F |
Coming off a year where he won a player of the game
award, a top performance was clearly expected in 2011. Nobody
was more disappointed than Dwight. Despite being in his
usual peak physical condition, he could not seem to get it going.
Don't expect this year to be any different.
9-1 |
|
Kappler, Brian |
26 |
F |
Brian's commitment was in question last year.
He did not even show up for the first game and was late to the second.
The rumor is that he is getting soft...er. Can this really be
true. I don't think so. This man could be the surprise of the
tournament. But then again, I could actually come back to
life and write these comments.
50-1 |
|
Kinlin, Peter |
6 |
D |
Another man from Columbus but with his Canadian
heritage, Kinlin is actually a pretty good defenseman when he is not trying
to play offense. Since my goal is to predict the Over/Under, not
comment on if he will do his job on D, I would take the over.
1-3
|
|
Krizek, JOEY |
30 |
G |
Krizek has slowed down noticeably. Especially in
the after-hours drinking and partying department. For most people,
this would be a good thing. But history has shown the JOEY is
the Mickey Mantle of the goaltending. If the Chaos can get him
back to using luggage carts for transportation a championship is a
reasonable possibility. But I think the Chaos will have to
score, score, score, and score some more to win.
1-1 |
|
Lovell, Andy |
13 |
F |
Lovell is Mr. Versatility for the Chaos. He
seems to go from Forward to Defense, then back again. Maybe
there is just no place where he fits. I don't know where he will play
this year, but I do know where you should put your money.
99-.005 |

Macaskill, Mike |
3 |
C |
Macaskill definitely benefits from playing on a line
with the McDonald's. While he is a key contributor, clearly
their play brings him up a notch. His whining is usually down a
little since he is too busy trying to clean up rebounds after a McDonald
rush. Just by being on their line he is almost a sure bet to go
over. 1-6 |
|
McDonald, Pete |
25 |
F |
Pete McDonald is the Gordie Howe of the Chaos.
Age does not matter at all. His performance last year was nothing
short of incredible and the stuff legends are made of (maybe even a movie).
He nearly willed the entire team to the championship carrying them all on
his shoulders for the first two games. Sadly, expecting him to
score 9 goals in the last game was too much even for him. This
is a tough call. Based on his performance last year winning the Rocket
Richard trophy, the bar will be set high.
2-1 |
|
McDonald, Paul |
91 |
F |
Following in the skate tracks of his dad (or it it his
brother?), "Y" McDonald has been a stellar player every year since joining
the Chaos at a record setting young age. All of Niagara looks
forward to seeing him play and spend a years worth of butcher bucks in just
a few short hours. However this year, nagging injuries have kept him
off the ice and his play will likely suffer despite the best efforts of the
other 2Ms. 6-1 |
| O'Brien, Aron |
71 |
D |
Claimed off waivers, O'Brien is a last minute addition
to the Chaos. According to his own self-assesment, he will be solid on D.
However, not much is known other than the fact that no other team would pick
him up and the Chaos were desperate enough that once Captain Chaos confirmed
that the #71 jersey would fit on him, he was added to the roster. JOEY
may now be the most nervous player on the team.
88-.005 |
| Owen, Will |
98 |
D |
Owen spent most of the season as a D-League goalie
(zero shutouts), or a bench warmer and puck boy for the Lawrence Tech hockey
team. So the level of his play is suspect at best. Combine
that with the fact that he has a very hard time keeping up with the rest of
the partying Chaos team and it does not seem likely that he will do much in
the way of scoring ... unless you count what he pays for with his Butcher
Bucks. 8-1 |
|
Pentony, Steve |
7 |
D |
A new defenseman for the Chaos. Research shows
he played some youth hockey in New Jersey against some decent players like
Brian Rolston and Jim Dowd. He did such a good job the NHL
scouts signed those guys up and obviously Steve is left playing for the
Chaos. Belding recruited him and claims the man can really play.
But if he is using himself as a yardstick that doesn't mean much.
80-1 |
|
Sandstrom, Eric |
10 |
F |
Da Butcha has also had an injury filled year. He
is probably only going so he can escort his adopted son to the clubs.
His injuries will definitely not hamper the after hours activity. Even
playing with only one arm, he can still be a threat to score if Captain
Chaos moves him up to forward. But since the games will not be
played with soccer nets, he will not likely score.
25-1 |
| Hill, Jason |
|
Wuss |
Not playing.
Hopefully JOEY will be sober and done celebrating by the puck drop. |
| Phlactou, Steve |
|
Wuss |
He was becoming a key member of the Chaos.
But sadly, the Canadian has decided he would rather stay home than play
hockey. Phluck him. |
| Winchester, Chris |
|
DeserterD |
He is moving to California. Turning into a beach
bum. No more hockey. Too bad for the Chaos. He
was a fairly decent addition to the team even if his reliability was always
a big question mark. |
| Totzke, Jay |
|
Wuss |
I don't think we need this guy anyway.
Big deal if he doesn't show up. Who cares? I don' |
| Fidler, Terry |
|
Wuss |
Does anybody remember
him? |
