# 17 - Montreal Ice


Franchise Power Points: 29.5

Cumulative Record: 596-538

Playoff Achievements: Wildcard Berth (S3 & 7); Division Title (S6)

Best Season Record: Season 3 (95-67)

Worst Season Record: Season 1 (78-84)

Franchise History- In Montreal, we have another one of the founding member of Glavine300, Nosirrommij2, or as his fans lovingly call him, Mr. Mojo Risin brought the team to Montreal at the inception of the league. They started out mediocre and consistently got better, posting their franchise best in Season 3 and making the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. They sunk back into mediocrity in Season 4 and 5 until they were able to Break on Through (to the other side) again in Season 6 when they won the NL North. Last year they were able to make the playoffs again with a wildcard berth. They are hoping that last year isn’t The End of their playoff experience.

Franchise Outlook- Strange Days have found the Montreal Ice, they’re going to destroy their casual joys if they cannot continue their recent success. The team is led by veteran Center Fielder Cap Jefferies and young bullpen Ace Esteban Tavarez. The rest of the major league squad is a nice mix of young players, veterans and Unknown Soldiers. The attitude in the clubhouse is one of a team that has Been Down So Long that it is their time to Take It As It Comes and dominate the NL North. There is some talent at the minor league level including minor league Shortstop Vic Eusebio and Third basemen Marshall Walbeck. With guys like this in the minors and their balance at the major league level, the citizens of Montreal now spend their winters Waiting for the Sun, not just because it means summer is coming…because it also means they have a playoff potential baseball team to watch.
