Week (whatever week it is) Previews
July 26th, 2019written by Cookie Puss and Fudgie The Whale
Rehabs vs Gut Rot
Oh shit, is this Division 1 vs Division 4 week? Aka “Bloody Sunday”. Looks like it is.
I hate to say it, but,…..none are gonna be bloodier than this one.
Prediction: If Ramirez is in net for the Habs, 8-0 Habs. If Ramirez is not in net, 8-1 Habs.
Mega Touch vs Fuzz
The battle of Rich vs. Julie (*looks for that photo that Julie hates*), the two most competitive people in BTSH. (Unless you count JW, at board games.)
Fuzz has had ROUGH season this far, causing Rich to take out his aggression by posting WWF photos to the BTSH Facebook page. Meanwhile, Mega…….hmm, do Mega still do V-neck/jorts day? This game might be a good day for it.
Prediction: Mega keep it close, but the end result is what you’d expect. 5-3, Fuzz.
2019 BTSH Power Rankings
July 23rd, 2019Welcome to the 2019 Midseason Power Rankings. If you can believe it, we’re already more than halfway through the season. Compared to last year we’ve experienced a roughly 85% drop in sandwich debates, compared to about a 4000% increase in beer funnels. I’d call that progress by just about any measure.
As was done last season, the methodology for this ranking was simple: six people responded to my invitation to rank the teams 1-20 and the results were aggregated (along with my own rankings) to come up with this list. I also threw in a few additional survey questions about the season to get the drama score up so Yetter and Russ wouldn’t be the only people stirring the pot this season. One thing just about everyone agreed on: with eight games left to go before the playoffs, the 2019 season is shaping up to be perhaps the most wide open title race in recent history.
1) LBS Inc (9-1-0)
Despite having more absences from regulars and thus using more free agents than any team in the league (an average of three per game so far), and having trailed in six of their nine victories, the LBS take pole position in these ranks for the third time in four years. Both LBS rankers declined to put themselves in 1st; of the five rankers who are non-LBS, four had them at #1. This team is obviously sexy as hell, but will face questions as to whether they can get their top players healthy in time for the playoffs and whether they can finally win the big one this season for the first time since 2012.
Average Ranking: 2.00
Standings Position: 1st
Goal Differential: 2nd
Highest Ranking: 1st
Lowest Ranking: 6th
First Place Votes: 4
What They’re Saying:“Dominating all season and now Scotty is back…have to be the favorites.”- Will
“When they actually have their roster show they have the most talented pool of guys in the league.”- Sena
“They have the best guys and I don’t think it’s that close. Their girls are vastly improved and Boylan sometimes allows me privileges others don’t. #atrocities”- Who do you think?

Goalie Shootout Loss – Jeff G via fake zog free transfer window
Game Notes: Cobra Kai gets the extra “Let’s delay the day as long as possible” (I mean shootout) point by getting 2/3 in, in the skills comp. Cherie is still wondering who keeps tipping off the goalies when the referee at centre is giving her advice for her shootout attempts…

Filthier – OP James (7)
Goalie Shutout Win – Tim K (7-2, GAA 1.43)

Goalie Shutout Win – RJ Dickey
Goalie Loss – Mark C (Not Sam, Eitan, or Ed) (0-1)
Game Notes: Charlotte picked the right game to jump in and score her first goal in her BTSH career…against a rookie goalie and a hapless Rut Rotters….the road to -70 looks bright!
Grems 1 @ Pouts 0
Gremlins – Courtney (1)
Goalie Shutout Win – Jamie (6-3, GAA 1.40, 3 shutouts)
Goalie Loss – RJ Dickey (3-4, GAA 1.25, 2 shutouts)
Game Notes: In the late makeup game, Jamie shines, quickly avenging the shootout from the earlier game to give the Gremlins a much needed win in this “4 point game”, dead locking the Michaliga division teams (see above) in a pile up for the first seed in the division. Well everyone not named Sky Fighters, that is.
