WINTER CARNAGE: THE PREVIEW
Saturday's bout at the Fabulous Roy Wilkins Auditorium represents a pivotal moment in the tenth Minnesota RollerGirls home season. Each team enters the bout with something to gain and something to lose in their last regular season bout before the seeding is locked for the Golden Skate playoffs. Here's what each team hopes to accomplish Saturday night:
The Garda Belts (2-0)
The Gardas enter this weekend's bout in the strongest position, with two wins and a +164 point differential. They are also coming off a big win against Madison Roller Derby's Unholy Rollers. The first seed in the Golden Skate tournament is theirs to lose — they'll keep it as long as they win over the Bombshells or lose by less than 59 points.
The Atomic Bombshells (1-1)
With a win over the Dolls and a loss to the Rockits recorded so far, the Bombshells find themselves with little to lose and a chance to gain ground. If they pull off a big win against the Garda Belts, they'll move into first place, but it would take a big loss and a big Dolls win to push them down into fourth place. They'll try and keep the momentum going after a big road win against the MedCity Mafia in Rochester, MN.
The Rockits (1-1)
The Rockits find themseles in a relatively stable position going into Saturday's bout. It would take a huge win over the Dolls to propel them into first seed, but even with a narrow loss they'll stay out of the fourth seed. They'll want to win or stay within 68 points of the Dagger Dolls to stay in the third seed or better.
The Dagger Dolls (0-2)
The Dolls have their work cut out for them at Winter Carnage. They'll need a big win to move out of the last seed entering the Golden Skate playoffs. It'll take a win over the Rockits by 69 points or more to climb into the third seed.
