———————————————————–
The Games

COBRA KAI DOES IT FOR FLOUNDER. Inspired by an appearance from former teammate Brendan ‘Flounder’ Hay, Cobra Kai ended a four game losing streak with a 5-3 victory against the Bad Touch. Brian Morrison scored two goals, including the game winner, for Cobra Kai, who also received two goals from Mike ‘FLIP!’ Sanfilippo and one goal from Ray Chan. Bill MacGregor scored two goals for the Bad Touch, who also received one goal from Eric Devlin.

JAMES PERIERA WOULD LIKE TO WISH JAMES STEIN A HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. James Periera registered a hat trick, Suvin Malik added two goals, and James Stein recorded the win as Filthy Gorgeous defeated Mexican Standoff, 9-3. Liza Watts, Jonathan ‘Red Pants’ Rick, Joe Periera, and Matt Novick also scored goals for Filthy Gorgeous, who also received a special assist from Adam Coe. This game also featured a great show of sportsmanship, as these two teams, which cheer at each other’s games and go away together kept cool before the game by sharing slices of watermelon.

THE UNICORNS HAVE AN AFFINITY FOR TIES. In a matchup of two of the best goaltenders in the league, Craig Lacombe and Anthony Romeo did not disappoint, as the Rehabs and Unicorns played to a 1-1 tie. Alex Zabala scored in the first half for the Unicorns, and Lateef Nurmohamed scored the Rehabs only goal of the game early in the second half. Neither team scored in the shootout, and Romeo preserved the tie on the last attempt of the shootout by stopping Hector ‘Showtime’ Melendez’s shot as it was just inches away from trickling across the goal line.

NOAH FARKAS IS CREATING A GOALIE CONTROVERSY. Backup goalie Noah Farkas won his fourth straight game in relief of injured starter Jim Morris as the Denim Demons rallied for a 2-1 victory against Fresh Kills. Alexandre Frenette (assisted by Bob ‘Olmec’ Weyersberg and Jennifer Chen) staked Fresh Kills to the early lead, but Abigail Meisterman set up Micael Holmström for the tying goal, setting up a dramatic finish. Holmström’s second goal of the game, with two minutes remaining in regulation, was the game winner, as the Denim Demons held off a final push from Fresh Kills for the victory.

LES TUQUES GAGNENT. Alex Young, Bill Monahan, Alfred Liu, and Gabe Wilson each scored a goal as the Tuques defeated the Sky Fighters, 4-2. Chris Shumaker and Dale Shulmistra scored goals for the Sky Fighters, who used Gouging Anklebiters goalie Mike O’Connor as an emergency replacement.

IT’S AN EMERGENCY GOALIE SPECTACULAR. Mike Taylor scored the only goal of the shootout as Pork Fried Rice prevailed against the Mighty Squirrels, 4-3, in a game featuring Ant Ventolieri in goal for Pork Fried Rice and Kyle Fogden in goal for the Mighty Squirrels. Mike Mincieli’s second goal of the game tied the score with less than one minute remaining in regulation, and Eric Cole also scored for the Mighty Squirrels. The goal scorers for Pork Fried Rice were Taylor, Mike ‘Cupcake’ Bartlett, and Tim Hannon.

DUTCH LIKES SEEING HIS NAME IN PRINT. Brendan ‘Dutch’ Kearney scored two goals, including the game winner in overtime, as the Corlears Hookers remained undefeated with a 4-3 victory against LBS. Molly Jacobs, Ken ‘The Alpha Male’ Poulin, and Tom Capotosta each scored a goal for LBS, who rallied from a second half deficit to force the extra session. Seth Wachtell also made numerous key saves for LBS to keep them within striking distance. Elizabeth Lewis and David Kucharsky also scored goals for the Corlears Hookers.

P.T. STANDS FOR PERFECT TIMING. P.T. Walkley scored his second goal of the game in overtime as the Dark Rainbows defeated the Gouging Anklebiters, 3-2, for their second consecutive overtime win. Jennie Brown also scored a goal for the Dark Rainbows, while Alex Owen and Charles DeFranco were the goal scorers for the Gouging Anklebiters.

LUCKY THIRTEEN. Darrell Hartman scored all four of his goals in the first half as What The Puck raced to their thirteenth consecutive victory with an 8-2 decision against the Mathematics. What The Puck also received two goals from Brian Vroom and one goal each from Tom MacDonald and Larry Zimmer. Andy Levine and Derek Tagliarino each contributed one goal for the Mathematics.

News and Notes

Haanwa Chau of Mexican Standoff is running a skills clinic at Corlears on Sunday at 1:30 PM, prior to the league games. The clinic is targeted to rookies and females, but if someone like Andy Pratt feels like attending, I am sure he would not be turned away. Please reply to Haanwa [at] hotmail [dot] com if you are interested in attending….In last week’s report, Alex Zabala was incorrectly credited with the assist on Caitlin Ervin’s game-winning goal. Hector ‘Showtime’ Melendez made the pass to Caitlin that resulted in the goal….The games at Corlears started forty-five minutes late due to a softball game taking place at Corlears. As a result, the final Corlears game did not end until 7:15 PM….Alex Owen’s goal was his first BTSH goal….The heat was not kind to LBS, as two of their players were seen puking at Moffo….The new resurfacing and repainting at Corlears has reduced the playing surface for the smaller court, which is now approximately seven feet narrower….Finally, a belated happy Father’s Day for all of the fathers in BTSH.

GENERAL STUFF

– always clean up after yourself AND your team mates AND your league mates. we always want to make sure that we leave both moffo and corlears CLEANER than we found it. if you see any trash or empty bottles when leaving the games, PITCH IN.

– make sure that all errant balls are chased up and brought back! those suckers cost $$$. it’s wasteful, not only in terms of budget but in terms of creating the demand for more plastic in the world. if you’re a by-stander and you see a ball go out of the rink/park, please chase after it and bring it back!

– if you’re last to play at moffo, and you don’t see anyone taking care of the nets and gear bag, then first check with the refs, and if that doesn’t solve the problem, then please take the nets and gear to the LOADING DOCK of the mini-storage! this is one of the quirks of having one gear manager and two locations – he can’t be in two places at once. in the case of goals and gear bag left in moffo, you don’t have to take the goals apart – just have someone help you take them across the street and put them in the far (east/near the river) corner of the loading dock, and the gear manager will take them from there.

– show up ON TIME for your game! the ref may start your game on schedule, whether or not your team has enough players. don’t be the player who costs your team the game because you showed up late! that could cost you quite a few rounds at the johnsons later!

– and speaking of the johnsons, thanks to brent who provided much tasty pizza last sunday!

– i’ll buy a new broom for corlears this week, and if necessary, bring the blower to blow away the loose asphalt.

– let me know if you have any postings to send to the list (looking for apartment, looking to rent out a room, upcoming gigs, jobs, etc.).

BTSH WEEKLY RECAP – WEEK 7
by Eli Kazin

The Games

THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST UNINSPIRING GAME OF THE WEEK EVER. Matt Novick scored two goals, Homin Lee and Suvin Malik each added a goal, and according to Filthy Gorgeous captain Monica Russo “one more person scored,” as Filthy Gorgeous shut out the Gouging Anklebiters, 5-0.

DUTCH FEVER…CATCH IT. Gavin Kearney scored the game-winning goal in overtime as the Corlears Hookers remained undefeated with a 3-2 victory against Fresh Kills. Brendan “Dutch” Kearney and Peter Putka also scored for the Corlears Hookers, and Putka may have already caught Dutch Fever, as illustrated by his raucous celebration after scoring from behind his own goal line. Brice Rosenbloom and Alexandre Frenette were the goal scorers for Fresh Kills.

YA, WE’RE A PRETTY GOOD ORGANIZATION, EH. Darrell Hartman scored three goals, and Mike Woodsworth added two goals, including the game winner, as What The Puck also remained undefeated with a 5-1 triumph against the Mighty Squirrels. Kyle Fogden scored the lone goal for the Mighty Squirrels.

DON’T FORGET ABOUT US…WE HAVE NOT LOST YET, EITHER. Alex Zabala scored the only goal of the game midway through the first half, and Craig Lacombe recorded his second shutout of the season as the Unicorns defeated the Tuques, 1-0.

CHANTEL ARROYO DOES NOT TALK TO THE MEDIA. Chantel Arroyo scored two goals, and Lateef Nurmohamed added one goal as the Rehabs beat the Sky Fighters, 3-1. Gina Hackett played the entire game on defense for the Rehabs.

ANTHONY ROMEO WON THIS GAME, TOO. With LBS starting goalie Seth Wachtell unable to play, Anthony Romeo filled in and registered his second win of the day with a 31-save shutout. Jason Bogdaneris scored the only goal of the game late in the second half, as LBS blanked the Dark Rainbows, 1-0.

THERE WAS NO STAGED FIGHT THIS YEAR. In a game that featured numerous great saves from both Stefanie Volanto and birthday boy Noah Farkas, the Denim Demons squeezed past Cobra Kai, 3-2. Jeff Kamen scored two goals, including the game winner, and Zack Tinkleman added one goal for the Denim Demons, while Ray Chan and Brian Morrison scored goals for Cobra Kai.

THE MATHEMATICS ARE UNDEFEATED WHEN SHARIF CORINALDI IS NOT PRESENT. Georgine Paulin scored the game-winning goal, Andy Pratt scored two goals, and Laura MacNeil added a goal as the Mathematics notched a 5-1 victory against Mexican Standoff, despite the absence of co-captain Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi. Gary Cohen scored the lone goal for Mexican Standoff, who played Len Guinto in goal for the entire game.

PORK FRIED RICE’S TEAM COLOR IS BEST CLASSIFIED AS BURGUNDY. Denis Monty scored two first-half goals, and Tim Hannon scored two second-half goals, including the game winner, as Pork Fried Rice doubled up the Bad Touch, 4-2. Toby Carroll and Christopher Neal scored goals for the Bad Touch.

Nickname Nook With Derek Tagliarino

These people will now be known as the following:
Bob Weyersberg of Fresh Kills is now Olmec.
Jonathan Levine of Cobra Kai is now The Barnacle.

Special Contest Continues One More Week: You get one more week to fire back. There have already been several “clever” nickname submissions for Eli and me, but I want to see what else is out there. If you think you have one, this is your last chance to submit it (to derektag@gmail.com). I’ll post the best nicknames next week, and I will even buy the winner a PBR (pending league backing).

News and Notes

Chris Beauvois of the Corlears Hookers is looking for league members who would be interested in taking pictures at league games so that we can ultimately have pictures taken of every game each week. If you are interested, please let Chris know….Ref of the Month Award goes to Molly Jacobs of LBS for her performance while reffing the Unicorns-Tuques game. Her wrist blocked a blistering Chris Eng shot from hitting her in the head, and the force of it still sent her airborne slightly, but she got right back up with only a skinned knee and continued to ref….Next week’s schedule (see below) features four Moffo games, including a 6 PM matchup, and is different from the traditional six games at Corlears, three games at Moffo formation – it’s correct and NOT a typographical error!….Georgine Paulin’s game-winning goal was also her first BTSH goal.

BTSH WEEKLY RECAP – WEEK 6
by Eli Kazin

The Games
THAT’S A VERY NICE JIG, KEARNEY. Brendan “Dutch” Kearney and Gavin Kearney each scored two goals, and Matthew Zimmerman added an insurance goal as the Corlears Hookers defeated the Tuques, 5-3. The Tuques were without their starting goalie and used Mathematics goalie Sarah Coombs as the replacement.

YES, SHANE, THAT REALLY WENT IN. Kevin Foster, Mike Sokolyansky, Shane DeBlasio, and Alexandre Frenette scored goals, and Dave Gil de Rubio registered the shutout, as Fresh Kills blanked the Bad Touch, 4-0. The win was the second in a row via shutout for Fresh Kills, and their fourth straight overall.

SOME PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED BY SHOOTOUTS. Arthur Revechkis gave the Mighty Squirrels the early lead, and Suvin Malik tied the game late in the first half for Filthy Gorgeous. After a scoreless second half and overtime, the game progressed into a shootout, where after two rounds, Joe Pereira’s goal was the lone tally. James Stein stopped the Mighty Squirrels final shot, which should have touched off a celebration for Filthy Gorgeous, except no one realized that the shootout was completed for a good fifteen seconds.

EL GUAPO IS SPANISH FOR THE HANDSOME ONE. Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri, filling in for starting goalie Mike O’Connor, allowed just one goal as the Gouging Anklebiters beat Mexican Standoff for their first victory of the season, 3-1. Megan Kelly, Nick Gardella, and Matt Tsiang scored for the Gouging Anklebiters, while Haanwa Chau scored the lone goal for Mexican Standoff, who continued their goalie rotation with Jeff “Peaches” Hendricks (first half) and John Bonfanti (second half).

DANIEL ALFREDSSON WAS HIS INSPIRATION. Just one day after Daniel Alfredsson’s overtime goal sent the Ottawa Senators to the Stanley Cup Finals, Micael Holmström scored the game-winning goal with 30 seconds left in regulation as the Denim Demons squeezed past the Mathematics, 2-1. Lena Moy-Borgen also scored for the Denim Demons, who were using backup goalie Noah Farkas, and Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi scored for the Mathematics.

TRY AS THEY MIGHT, THE LADIES CAN NOT RESIST ANT VENTOLIERI. Buoyed by the presence of a season-high six girls, Pork Fried Rice defeated the Sky Fighters, 4-3. Ant Ventolieri scored two goals and added two assists, Denis Monty contributed one goal and two assists, and Natasha Foy scored the game winner for Pork Fried Rice. Roderick Cruz of What The Puck played in goal for the Sky Fighters, and Ellery “The Nature Boy” Gillette was kept off the scoreboard, even though he does not play for the Sky Fighters or Pork Fried Rice.

ANOTHER SOLID WIN FOR THE UNICORNS. Chris Eng and Caitlin Ervin each scored two goals, and Ted Kilcommons and Hector “Showtime” Melendez added goals as the Unicorns sprinted by Cobra Kai, 6-2. Cobra Kai received goals from Dave Cicirelli and Ray Chan.

COREY “CHONGO” WINTERS IS PROUD TO BE FROM WINNIPEG. Winnipeg native Corey “Chongo” Winters scored two goals, including the game-winner, and Tom MacDonald and Darrell Hartman added two goals apiece as What The Puck remained undefeated with a 6-1 victory against the Dark Rainbows.

RAIN DOES NOT SLOW DOWN THE REHABS. Anthony Romeo recorded his second shutout of the season to lead the Rehabs to a 3-0 triumph against LBS.

Nickname Nook With Derek Tagliarino
These people will now be known as the following:
Ken Poulin of LBS is now The Alpha Male.
Zach Weiner of the Gouging Anklebiters is now Cryme Tyme.

Special Contest: This is your chance to fire back. It seems everyone in BTSH already has some sort of clever nickname for Eli and me. So now you can make it official. I challenge anyone who is reading this to submit (to derektag@gmail.com) the best nicknames you can think of for us. I will include the ones I deem the best in my next nook. I will also buy the winner one can of PBR (if I can get the league to finance it).

News and Notes
Jeff “Peaches” Hendricks used a sombrero in place of a goalie helmet, while Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri did not wear a helmet at all, but did use safety goggles. John Bonfanti, however, did choose to wear the traditional helmet…Why is it that Jennifer Chen of Fresh Kills is able to attend every game, but her fiancé, Brendan “Flounder” Hay, who played on Cobra Kai last season, is not even on a roster this season?…Most teams cheer when they score a goal, but the Corlears Hookers (and possibly Pork Fried Rice) choose not to…What The Puck’s win was their tenth straight dating back to the 2006 season…Unicorns goalie Craig Lacombe offered to play goal for the goalie-less Tuques, but his offered was declined by the Corlears Hookers, who stated that he could not play goal, but Sarah Coombs could…After the conclusion of the games at Corlears, a birthday cookout/beer fest for Alicia Walker of Fresh Kills took place with players from Fresh Kills, Bad Touch, and Mexican Standoff squaring off in two games of one-handed hockey (one hand on the stick, the other holding a beverage).

BTSH WEEKLY RECAP – WEEK 5
by Eli Kazin

The Games

KARSTEN PITCHON IS NOT A FAN OF THE BEACH. In the first game between the two teams since last season’s infamous “Beach Day”, Karsten Pitchon scored four goals, including the game winner, and Ken Poulin added a goal as LBS defeated Mexican Standoff, 5-3. Tim Olson, Tommy Cho, and Gary Cohen scored goals for Mexican Standoff, who utilized the goalie platoon of Cho (first half) and Haanwa Chau (second half).

THE PURPOSE OF A SHOOTOUT IS TO ELIMINATE TIES. Zack Tinkelman scored the tying goal with the extra attacker on and less than one minute remaining in regulation, and the Denim Demons rallied from a two-goal deficit to salvage a 2-2 tie against the Unicorns. Goalies Craig Lacombe and Jim Morris shined in the shootout, where neither team scored on any of the six attempts.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COOP. Alex Eben Meyer, also known as Coop, celebrated his birthday with a goal, and Danny Canarick and Eric Devlin contributed goals as the Bad Touch rallied from a two-goal deficit to trump the Gouging Anklebiters, 3-2. Charles DeFranco scored both goals for the Gouging Anklebiters, who were playing with backup goalie Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri between the pipes.

FOR ONCE, THE MATHEMATICS HAD MORE FEMALES IN ATTENDANCE. In her first game of the 2007 season, Sarah Coombs recorded a shutout to lead the Mathematics past Pork Fried Rice, 5-0. The Mathematics received two goals from Andy Levine, including the game winner, two goals from Laura MacNeil, and one goal from Andy Pratt. Pork Fried Rice played without any females for the second straight week.

WITH AGE COMES WISDOM AND PATIENCE. Shane DeBlasio filled in for starting goalie Dave Gil de Rubio and pitched the shutout to lead Fresh Kills past the Rehabs, 2-0. Alexandre Frenette scored the game winning (assist Brice Rosenbloom) goal midway through the first half, and Dave Sokolyansky (assisted by Kevin Foster and B.R. Rolya) added an insurance goal in the second half for Fresh Kills, who received solid defensive play from Amy Jones and B.R.

ROB GORDEN COULD USE A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES. Despite being without six regular players, and having two goals disallowed, the Corlears Hookers coasted to a 6-3 victory as Mighty Squirrels goalie Rob Gorden struggled with the glare coming off of the shiny gold CH logo. Reilly Olson, Josh Sadlier-Brown, and Peter Putka each scored two goals for the Corlears Hookers, and Eric Cole, Craig Thompson, and Arthur Revechkis scored goals for the Mighty Squirrels.

CRUZ CONTROL. Roderick Cruz registered his first shutout of the season, and Tom MacDonald scored three goals, including the game winner, as What The Puck remained undefeated with a 5-0 victory against Cobra Kai.

THE PINK TEAM WAS DESTINED TO WIN ON MOTHER’S DAY. P.T. Walkley scored two goals, including the game winning goal midway through the second half, as the Dark Rainbows rallied from an early deficit to beat the Sky Fighters, 2-1. Trevor Tyrrell recorded 104 saves* (100 of which coming off the stick of Sky Fighters’ Martin Cejka), including many during the last five minutes of the game, for the Dark Rainbows.

JAMES HAD A GOOD DAY. James Pereira scored the only goal of the game late in first half, and James Stein recorded the shutout as Filthy Gorgeous blanked the Tuques, 1-0.

*This number may have been inflated by Dark Rainbows captain Sean Reynolds.

Nickname Nook With Derek Tagliarino

These people will now be known as the following:
Rachel Greene of the Mighty Squirrels is now A-Korn.
Sharif Corinaldi of the Mathematics is now The Chocolate Buzzsaw.

Power Play/Offsides

Power Play:
– Jason Rosenstock’s wardrobe. Unable to play due to a broken toe, Jason Rosenstock of Mexican Standoff took on the role of coach, and dressed the part with a three-piece olive green suit, hand-carved smoking pipe, and brown Bear Bryant style hat. Rosenstock roamed the sidelines with a clipboard and paper towel on which to draw plays, but was frequently seen angrily tossing his hat in a downward trajectory towards the pavement.

Offsides:
– Problems at Moffo. The games at Moffo started late due to a bicycle polo organization using the court until 3:30 PM, but more seriously, female league members were harassed in Spanish by a non-league affiliated Latino male at the bleachers while waiting to play in their games.
