Recap Week 4

May 7th, 2007

BTSH WEEKLY RECAP – WEEK 4
by Eli Kazin

The Games

TIM AND ROB NEED TO START LOOKING FOR NEW JOBS. With the goalie platoon of Tim Gray and Rob Gorden unavailable, Dustin D’Addato stepped in and recorded the shutout, leading the Mighty Squirrels to their first victory of the season, 2-0 against Mexican Standoff. Eric Cole scored the game winning goal in the first half, and Arthur Revechkis added an insurance goal in the second half.

HE’S GONE FROM ASHY TO CLASSY. Paul “Ashy Larry” Vernon scored the game winning goal on a shot that teammates described as a “f—ing sweet.” James Pereira and Suvin Malik added goals for Filthy Gorgeous, who defeated LBS 3-1 for their first victory of the season.

ELLERY CLAIMS HE SCORED TWO GOALS. Libby Lewis scored two goals, including the game winner, and Chris Beauvois registered his first shutout of the season as the Corlears Hookers remained undefeated with a 4-0 victory against the Denim Demons.

THE SAUSAGE PARTY WAS A BAD IDEA. What The Puck doubled up a female-less Pork Fried Rice in their championship game rematch by a 4-2 score. Tom MacDonald scored two goals, including the game winner, and Mike Woodsworth and Darrell Hartman each added one goal for the defending champions, who were paced by solid defense from Amy Farley and Susanna Tenney.

J.P. CHAPUT WOULD RATHER NOT PARTICIPATE IN A SHOOTOUT. J.P. Chaput scored the winning goal with less than one minute remaining in overtime to lead the Rehabs past the Bad Touch, 1-0. Anthony Romeo made 13 saves for the shutout, and was assisted on defense by six blocked shots from Gina Hackett, who dedicated her performance to Unicorns goalie Craig Lacombe.

FEAR DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS DOJO. Alex Nicoloff scored the game winning goal midway through the second half, and Brian Morrison added a goal as Cobra Kai equaled their win total from the 2006 season with a 2-1 victory against the Tuques.

WHERE WERE THEY IN THE FIRST HALF? Chris Eng scored two goals, including the game winner, and Aaron Coles, Aaron Mullan, and Ted Kilcommons also added goals as the Unicorns scored five times in the second half to defeat the Gouging Anklebiters, 5-1. Charles DeFranco scored the lone goal for the Gouging Anklebiters.

IT WAS THE SMELL THAT KEPT THEM GROUNDED. Fresh Kills brought the Sky Fighters back to earth with a 4-2 win, as Dave Gil de Rubio got the win in the first game of his goaltending doubleheader.

MAYBE THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE HECKLED HIM. Despite fifty minute efforts from Georgine Paulin and Sheena Otto, and the fill-in goaltending of Dave Gil de Rubio, who was heckled from the bleachers by his Fresh Kills teammates, the Dark Rainbows defeated the Mathematics, 6-5.

Nickname Nook With Derek Tagliarino
These people will now be known as the following:
Brendan Kearney of Corlears Hookers is now Dutch.
Corey Winters of What The Puck is now Chongo…and here are some words that rhyme with Chongo: mongo, bongo, Belgian Congo, Roberto Luongo.

Power Play/Offsides
Power Play:
– Mexican Standoff’s food tent. In honor of their game with the Mighty Squirrels, Mexican Standoff broke out the fajita bar and a flip-cup tournament. The menu included flour tortillas, chicken, beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and a delicious homemade salsa. The big winner in the flip-cup tournament was Jason Rosenstock, who had to perform double duty and fill two spots on his side of the table.
– Craig Lacombe’s Pee-wee Herman impression. For those who remained at the Johnson’s late enough, Craig Lacombe put on a brief, but solid, impersonation of Pee-wee Herman’s Big Shoe Dance from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. When “Tequila” by The Champs was cued up, Craig made his way onto the bar…and somewhere, Paul Reubens was smiling.

Offsides:
– Nothing strong here, just an assortment of brief items…Patrick Larsen of the Mighty Squirrels was tossed from a shift for giving a reach-around to an opponent, Mauricio Rojas of the Corlears Hookers was tossed from two shifts for physical play, Peter “Geech” Prohaska of the Gouging Anklebiters cutting his trademark curly locks, and the Mathematics had more attendance issues.

POSTINGS

* ICE HOCKEY IN HARLEM BENFIT
from dave paglia of mighty squirrels

Few of you probably know this but I was introduced to the team thru Pat Larsen, as we were both volunteercoaches for a program called Ice Hockey In Harlem (IHIH moving forward). My point is this, I know each of you crazy nuts likes to drink and play hockey so this IHIH event brings both together for a great cause. The details are this: Friday, may 4th, Time is 7pm, cost is $30 per person, location is Time Out (77th and amerstdam). What you get for your time and money: 3 hours of open bar and every TV showcasing the Rangers V Sabres (game 5) plus a decent portion of this money is going to help send one IHIH kid to a hockey camp (the other part is to help the bar cut its loss’s). Now I know each of you would be lying if spending $30 on booze is too much for Friday night, so swing on by or email me an excuse note from your mom!!!!

Lastly please invite friends and colleagues
Thx

BTSH WEEKLY RECAP – WEEK 3
by Eli Kazin

Again, if anyone has anything they want mentioned in these recaps, talk to me at the games, at the bars, or shoot me an email at themajordeegan AT yahoo DOT com.

The Games

STITCHES DO NOT KEEP HAANWA CHAU OFF THE COURT. One day after receiving a nasty gash, and stitches, across the bridge of her nose, Haanwa scored a goal to lead Mexican Standoff to a 5-3 victory against the Dark Rainbows. Ben Bloom had a hat trick, and Jeff “Peaches” Hendricks added a goal for Standoff, who were playing with emergency goalie Paul Valenti between the pipes.

STRIKE FIRST, STRIKE HARD, NO MERCY SIR. Brian Morrison, Derek Tagliarino, Mariko Nakatani, and Jonathan Levine scored goals for Cobra Kai, who jumped out to a four-goal lead just fifteen minutes into the game en route to a 4-2 upset of LBS.

FIVE IS GREATER THAN FOUR. Ted Shumaker scored two goals, including the game winner, and Martin Cejka added a goal to lead the Sky Fighters past the shorthanded Mathematics, 3-2. Andy Pratt scored two goals and Sheena Otto played the entire game as the only female in attendance for the Mathematics.

STYLIN’ AND PROFILIN’. Ellery “The Nature Boy” Gillette scored two goals as the Denim Demons won their contest with the Mighty Squirrels, 6-4. With the victory, the Demons also won a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon, which those who remained at the Johnson’s past sunset were able to enjoy.

CRAIG LACOMBE WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ZERO. Craig Lacombe registered his first shutout of the season, although he was bailed out with a huge save from defender Lindsay Turley, as the Unicorns blanked the Bad Touch, 3-0.

OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM, E I E I O. Tom MacDonald scored two goals as What The Puck defeated the Tuques, 5-1.

ANT WAS BOTH FILTHY AND GORGEOUS. Tim Hannon scored two goals, including the game winner, as Pork Fried Rice squeaked past Filthy Gorgeous, 3-2. Ant Ventolieri added two assists, and was the center of attention due to his slick new hairstyle, complete with gel.

HOPEFULLY SHE GOT THE BALL AS A MEMENTO. Hiromi Moore’s first goal at any level of hockey was the game winning goal and started a three-goal outburst in the span of one minute early in the second half as Fresh Kills notched a 5-1 win against the Gouging Anklebiters. Kevin Foster also scored a goal for Fresh Kills, and Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri scored the lone goal for the Anklebiters.

THE HOOKERS GOT A SECOND WIND. In a battle of teams with high attendance at Saturday’s tournament, the Corlears Hookers bested the Rehabs, 3-1.

Nickname Nook With Derek Tagliarino
These people will now be known as the following:
Alex Eben Meyer of Bad Touch is now Coop.
Janica Lee of Denim Demons is now Tussin.

Power Play/Offsides
Power Play:
– Ed Lau of Rehabs and anyone who showed up and/or donated money on Saturday. The charity tournament, organized by Ed, raised more than $3,300 for the American Cancer Society, including some donations from league members who did not participate in the tournament. Those who were debating showing up were glad they played, and despite the early starting time all in attendance enjoyed the event…even Haanwa.
– Mexican Standoff’s court side accessories. One bucket of chicken, one boom box in a rectangular box with a boom box graphic on the front, and most important, zero open container citations.

Offsides:
– Typographical errors on the new Gouging Anklebiters uniforms. Apparently, the Gounging Anklebiters are “black for street hockey” …good for them.
– The bird fountain at Corlears actually works. Some kid was operating it prior to the Mathematics/Sky Fighters matchup, causing the pavement behind the goal to become a little slick.
