- The road to the I-Slam Cup officially begins tonight. Congratulations to the six teams that have qualified for the playoffs but from now on we get to see what each team is truly made of. Do not take the opportunity in front of you for granted as there will be a guy on the other bench that will gladly seize the moment. Point in case last week in a must win game for both Haya and Ihsan, Shuaib Hussein and Ahmad Mobin both played through lower body injuries to help give their team a chance to hoist the I-Slam Cup. In short, the stage is set for anyone who is willing to be in the spotlight.
- Tonight will be a wild night with four playoff games scheduled, the first two being quarterfinal games while the second two will be game one of the semi-finals. While some would assume that having to play two games in one night is a disadvantage, the team that wins their quarterfinal game will have the adrenaline coming off a win and will be warmed up so Sabr and Shukr should take nothing for granted.
- Speaking of Shuaib Hussein (Haya), he left last week with what appeared to be a re-aggravated leg injury. Hussein remains a game-time decision, but if last week was any indicator expect Hussein to power through the pain.
- Has Black Panther gone too far? After scoring his fifth goal of the season, Black Panther (Ahmad Ibrahim- Ridha) celebrated with the Wakanda salute. Sabr players, in particular Faisal Mehboob took exception calling Ibrahim’s antics as “bush-league” considering the goal was scored against their backup goalie, Hammad Khan. Mehboob would add, “stuff like that evens out in the hockey universe… expect Ridha’s offense to disappear when it is most needed”. It should be noted that despite Mehboob's frustration, he still went to Moods to share a sheesha pipe with Black Panther.
ALL-STAR GAME ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Mecca vs Medina All-Star game is tentatively scheduled for Friday May 4 (Championship Night). It will feature players of the teams that did not make the finals.
