Week (I think Isaac said 15?) Previews
September 6th, 2019written by The Money and The Banana Stand
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.

September 3rd, 2019After 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)
Goalie Loss – Peter B via FA

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….

Goalie Win – Sizzler (9-1, GAA 1.70)
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.

Goalie of Record – Steve F
What the Puck @ Sky Fighters PPD
DaPucks – Paully P, Justin the Divisional Name Sake, McCauley, Ball Hogg

10 Things I Learned At Ocean City 2019
September 3rd, 2019By Dave GDR
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.

Three Stars of OC Hockey Beach 2019
August 28th, 2019
By Jess
Isaac sent the email asking who would want to write 3 stars at 2pm on Sunday and I’m not sure if I was too hungover to understand what I signed myself up for but anyways here we go:
Third Star
The veterans (Walsh, Chadwick, Heather, Sarah M, Coco etc.) who, year after year continue to rage, set the tone, and make it fun for everyone.
