The Demons Have a Message for Rich Glanzer
May 1st, 2013(Editor’s Note: Jen Popack asked us to post this after reading Rich’s Demons season preview. While we’re leery of turning the website in to StreetHockeyMingle.com, we felt fair balance necessitated accommodating her request. BTW – we have no idea what this means)
Technical Difficulties
May 1st, 2013
As some of you have already noticed, we’re having some technical difficulties with the site this week. We’ve managed to get it back up and running and restored the schedule page. But the standings are not accurate right now (the system is not awarding points for OT losses and mistaking some oT wins for ties). We hope to have everything fixed by tomorrow night.
Game previews will be up on Thursday and Friday.
In the meantime, thanks for your patience. And thanks to Jen Popack for providing today’s fill in content (see our next post on the blog)
Week 5 Boxscores – 93! MVP!!
April 30th, 2013
LBS 5, What the Puck 2
LBS. goals by Karsten Pichon (3) & Ken Poulin (2).WTP Goals by Sal Malguarnera & Darrell Hartman
Karsten & Ken feel no pity for WTP, sub-goalie Cory or the city of Winnipeg. This is why the Habs deserve to lose Ken.
Happy Little Elves 4, Skyfighters 3 (SO)
HLE goals by Gil Valdez, Michael Valdez & Trevor “Valdez” Beauclair (1+SO Winner). Skyfighters goals by Greg Cohan, Robert Kucera and Yehuda Bloom..
Elves are the only team without a loss this year. I wonder if Rich will mention this in his next blog post?
Filthy Gorgeous 5, Cobra Kai 3
FG goals by James Periera (3), Sunny Mehra & Suvin Malik. Cobra Kai goals by David Cicirelli, Will Kuhns & Rem Garavito
James Periera’s natural hat trick powers Filthy to their first win of the season.
La Famiglia 3, Poutine Machine 1
La Famiglia goals by Dr. Alfred Liu, Denis Miceletto & Shafiq Perry. Poutine Machine Goal by JoAnn Provencher.
Balanced scoring helps the Italian Jobbers keep Poutine winless.
Dark Rainbows 4, Rehabs 1
Rainbows goals by Sean Reynolds, Sikandar Atiq, Emily Carson & Brice Rosenbloom. Rehabs goal by Unknown.
Unfortunately for the Abusers it looks like Sean & Co. have found it … the Rainbow Connection.
GutRot 3, Butchers 2
GutRot goals by Dave Wang, Tommy Cho and Larry or Michael Gilligan (and what are the odds you’d have two guys named Gilligan on your team). Butchers goals by Gary Cohen and Mike Minicelli.
GutRot proves they can hold their liquor better and upsets their prodigal sons & daughters.
Gremlins 2, Tompkins Square Riots 1
Gremlins goals by John Walker & Rod Sherwood. TSR goal by Craig Thompson.
The Grems second line scoring comes through for them.
Fresh Kills 3 Gouging Anklebiters 2 (SO)
Kills goals by Ariel Imas, Alex ? & Nick Hobbs. Biters goals by Joe Polowczuk and Charles Defranco.
Kills remain undefeated but the Biters take them to a shootout. Is this a playoff preview?
Mathematics 8, MegaTouch 4
Math goals by Sam Norris (3), Zach Norris (2) & Eli Kazin. MegaTouch goals by Eric Devlin (2), Braden Caldwell & Adriano “My Feet Hurt” Bratta.
Forget the five goals from the Norris brothers. Eli’s point streak continues. MVP! MVP!!
Corlears Hookers 2, Denim Demons 1
Hookers goals by Sam Marton & Danilo Biagioni. Demons goal by Jeff “Stop Writing About Me” Kamen.
Hookers stingy defense helps them eke out the win against the Red Devils.

A reminder that ACE Bar has started up trivia on Sunday nights. So why not cap off a day of hockey and drinking with a demonstration of your encyclopedic knowledge of STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN. Here’s a better description form the Facebook Page for the event:
“Come out every Sunday night at 9 PM for FREE trivia hosted by the “Trivia Goddess” Pëtra Denison with Xandra Leigh Hotter-Than-A-Five-Alarm-Fire Stegmaier slinging drinks behind the bar!
Where: Ace Bar! 531 E. 5th Street (btwn A and B)

1 round of 10 general knowledge questions, 1 round of Pëtra’s choice (I take suggestions!), a music round AND a bonus round
$50 bar tab to the winning team AND a special prize for the most original team name!

A couple of weeks ago some BTSH stalwarts stuck around and took home the prize (see picture above). Don’t let “Smooth” and his cohorts have all the fun. Try out trivia this coming Sunday!
Denim Demons 2013 Season Preview
April 26th, 2013
by Rich “I Will Be Heard” Glanzer
(Editor’s Note: While we’re not actually doing team previews this year, Rich Glanzer insisted that we balance out our current coverage of the Demons by posting his own take on Satan’s Little Helpers. Take it away, Rich)
So why is it that no one ever raises a Demons hand? Is it because Adam Ruebens loves to be hated? Is it because no one ever sees them because they rarely go to Ace like the rest of the league? No, its neither of these two things. Its because as good as the Demons have been in the regular season, they just don’t score come playoff time. In the Modern Era of BTSH (2008- present…and no Zach Norris, the Modern Era didn’t start when you started, that would be so egotistical. God, why are you how you are??) the Demons have won two Presidents trophy’s for having the most regular season points, but both of those years failed to make it to the semi’s. And only once have they moved past the round of 16.
