Whew, a LOT happened last weekend you guys. First and foremost, our friends?frenemies FRIENDS the skaters managed to save our mutually beloved corner of Tompkins from turfing and held a protest-turned-celebration on Saturday. True victory for the proverbial little guy and NYC history too. So what does this mean for us?! Are we still moving? No one knows! Roller coaster of emotions I tell ya.

On any other week the skaters might have nabbed one of the stars, but it turns out a bunch of folks done played hockey real good on Sunday. So without further ado…

Third Star

Hats off to the Hookers ladies

Remember the recent past when the Hookers used to lose games mainly because of attendance problems? I’m not sure if they still have attendance problems, but when you achieve a 6-0 victory based entirely on two hat tricks by Eleni Tebano and Sarah Newnam, you really don’t need that many more people to show.

Pucks defeated Sky Fighters in their makeup half.

Then the Pucks took out Fresh Kills.

LBS blanked the Pous.

Dark Rainbows pulled off the upset against Cobra Kai.

Rehabs found a way to solve the Sky Fighters.

Demons beat Math with 2 goals from Zach F.

Danielle (Filthier) took home bragging rights against Jamie (Gremlins).

Hookers were too cunning for the wily Riots.

Butchers narrowly escaped clutches of an L against the jorted Mega Touch.

Biters survived a real scare against Gut Rot.

Fuzz came back to shock Karma.

See you next week!

So, this week’s previews are Arrested Development-themed. If you have (foolishly) never watched the show and as such get none of our references, well…that’s your own fault, now isn’t it? 

Editor’s note: I said this would be an extremely niche preview but someone didn’t want to hear me out.

Lbs, Inc. (GOB Bluth) vs.  Poutine Machine (Annyong Bluth)

The Lbs are like GOB in that they are shifty magicians who date females well above their pay grade. Poutine are like Annyong in that they are angry, and always seem to be out for revenge. 

Prediction: Lbs have only lost 1 game all season, but if anyone can beat GOB it’s Annyong. And, yes…..Poutine does it this Sunday. Poutine 3, Lbs 2.

After a brief rain delay the last 4 games will be completed at a later date…scores for those will be updated when those games are completed…without further adieu on to the pre OC post OC box scores…

Filthier 3 @ Butchers 0

Filthier – Annimal (2), Jean (1), Thomas W (4)

Goalie Shutout Win – Tim “I’ll make my presence felt with fb comments” K (10-3, GAA 1.29, 3 Shutouts)

Gut Rot 1 @ Dank Bows 2

Rut Rot – OG Scotty K (1)

Goalie Loss – Sam S (0-7)

Rainbows – Daniele “Boy name” C x2 (3)

Game Notes: Can the totem italian of the league (do we have one?!) consult with Jess and Cat and whoever else from Rainbows write the 3 stars and let them know Daniele is not Danielle and is a boy’s name? Actually, this site just leads from Daniele to Daniel, which is of Hebrew origin…okay pretty much anyone from the NJ/NY ball hockey circles should be able to consult on this now.

Evil Shortis Farm System Dojo 1 @ Gouging Seamen 2 F/SO

Cobra Kai – Alan H (3)

Goalie LOLSOL – Ryan M (0-6, GAA 2.26)

Anklebiters – Bob Probert (12)

Goalie Shootout Win – Craig LaC (11-1, GAA 1.14)

Shootout Winner – Shannon

Game Notes: Cobra Kai are out here thinking that referees hate them and like disallowing goals, but that’s totally not true, both referees called an equivalent amount of goals back in this game…1 by each ref for CK….

Editor’s Note: After seeing Fuzz’s divisional records in their lone 2 season in the top flight of BTSH, now I understand why Rich thinks a 1-1 record against a team is worthy of a (participation) trophy….or a make-believe (fairy tale) cup.

So this was my fifth trip down to HockeyBeach (many thanks to the Thin Mints for taking me in and making me one of their own). As always, a special time with some of the best people on earth. That said, I continue to be delighted, shocked and entertained by the anecdotes and scenarios I either see or hear about. Never a dull moment folks.
