GAME OF THE WEEK
What The Puck (3-0) vs. Corlears Hookers (3-0)
Location: Corlears North, 5:00 PM
All-Time Series: Corlears Hookers lead 2-0
Game Notes: This game features a classic matchup of high-octane offense versus rock-solid defense. What The Puck currently boasts the most goals in the league with an average of six per game. Three of BTSH’s top six goal scorers wear orange, with Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer leading the way with six, and Mike “The X-Factor” Woodsworth and Tom MacDonald each chipping in four. The Corlears Hookers pride themselves in their impenetrable defense, allowing just one goal through three games. Goalie Chris Beauvois leads the league with two shutouts. These teams last met in the 2007 semi-finals, when the Corlears Hookers ended What The Puck’s hopes for a second consecutive championship with a shootout victory. What The Puck will be looking to even the score.
Keys to the Game:
1. Darrell “Accurate Bob” Hartman is a key cog in What The Puck’s well-oiled machine, but has missed the first three games. Whether he shows for this game could go a long way in deciding the winner.
2. Despite the Corlears Hookers’ apparent focus on defense, Brendan “Dutch” Kearney and Gavin “Dutch’s Brother” Kearney are still capable of scoring a lot of goals and breaking a game wide open.
3. Roderick “Guy LeDouche” Cruz has recently started to learn the ancient art of voodoo. He was seen this week sporting an Albert “Al” Huang voodoo doll with several pins in it. Monitor Al’s performance closely.
Eli’s Pick: Corlears Hookers. Good defense stops good offense.
Derek’s Pick: What The Puck. Although their offense is leading the way this season, they also feature a solid defense anchored by grizzled veteran, Corey “Chongo” Winters.

Week 3 News and Notes
April 29th, 2008The Anklebiters are Busting Out
Phil’s Too Sexy For His Shirt
For the second consecutive season, the Gouging Anklebiters unveiled new team jerseys. Zach “Cryme Tyme” Weiner, who considers himself the glue of this team, designed the illustration on the front of the shirt. Unfortunately, unlike last year, the Anklebiters are no longer “Black for Street Hockey”. That designation now falls solely on the shoulders of Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi and Donald Brashear. A few new t-shirts are being special ordered for Phil “Sandy” Donohue, who is far too ripped for any of the current ones.

GAME OF THE WEEK
Mathematics (2-0) vs. Mighty Squirrels (1-0-1)
Location: Moffo, 5:00 PM
All-Time Series: Mathematics lead 4-0
Game Notes: This matchup has rapidly developed into one of the most intense rivalries in all of BTSH. Captains Rachel “A-Korn” Greene and Derek Tagliarino have made no secret of their mutual hatred of one another, as their small New Jersey-New York feud has escalated exponentially. However, Greene and Tagliarino were able to put aside their differences just long enough to wager a case of beer on the outcome of this game. The annual Squirrels-Mathematics prank war has also commenced. The Mathematics struck first by stealing Rocky, the Mighty Squirrels’ mascot. The Squirrels then retaliated by kidnapping the Mathematics’ mascot, Screech. This game promises to be a blood bath and will not be for the faint of heart.
Keys to the Game:
1. Despite generating several scoring chances last week for the Mathematics, Andy Pratt was held without a goal. He’ll be looking to change that this Sunday.
2. Goalie Sarah Coombs of Mathematics has allowed just one goal in two games, while Tommy Mayoros of the Mighty Squirrels has allowed just two. Both have promised to outperform their counterpart in this game.
3. The Mighty Squirrels’ Arthur “Lil Weezy” Revechkis has been practicing a new shot he calls the “Knuckle-Puck” all week. He plans to unveil it Sunday.
