Around the League – Round of 16 Playoffs
September 30th, 2018The Biters blanked the Gremlins and now have a date with Cobra Kai next Sunday.
Filthier defeated a hungry Mega Touch and now have the pleasure of hosting Fresh Kills.
LBS nearly held the Demons off of the scoresheet and will have a much tougher time trying that trick against Poutine Machine.
Fresh Kills got one heck of a good scare against the ferocious Pucks and better have Gabe when they clash with Filther.
Fuzz would have preferred to have Mike T against Meyer-less Math and he might be in attendance next Sunday against Rehabs.
Rehabs and Hookers played a game I didn’t watch, but I do know that the Rehabs are moving on to face Fuzz.
Dark Rainbows lead for a brief while against Cobra Kai before their PBR Cup hopes sailed out the window like a deflating ballon. The evil dojo will face the Biters next week.
The Poutine and Karma game went to a shootout with Jerome’s fancy feet winning it for the Poos again. They’ve earned the privilege of losing to LBS next Sunday.
2018 Round of 16 Previews – Part 2
September 28th, 201810. Corlears Hookers at 7. Rehabs
by Richiehero
The Hookers are like Adrian Gonzalez. An aging first basemen who shows flashes of greatness, but had to retire because he just wasn’t as good as the younger players. The Hookers still have some really good players, but they are no longer the threat they used to be. Tiffany, Sara, Cro, are all solid. But Noelle isn’t. She’s a little banged up and not the player she used to be…a below average player who gets hyped by the media bc she could tap in a rebound after Jason did all the work.
Meanwhile Hicks is really good. Is he still on the Rehabs this week? If so, the Hooks are in a lot of trouble. He might score four goals, the same amount of games Carlton played in. (That’s the rumor, I don’t know if that’s true or not.)
Prediction: I’m bummed we missed the Cro/Probie game this year. But how good are things going for Cro? Outside of getting killed by Hicks/Herr in the general BTSH election, the Phins are 3-0, Penn State coaches haven’t molested children in a lot of years, and the Pens are still really good. He’ll have a lot to look forward to after his team loses 5-1. Read the rest of this entry »
2018: Playoffs Play In Round Box Scores – Scoring Highlights
September 27th, 2018These will be the easiest box scores since week 1 because it’s that time of the year where we will re-set the scoring to count “playoff” goals rather than combine regular season and playoffs. Otherwise, Teets McGee would win by 10+ goals again like in past years if Fuzz! goes far(ther than last year).
On to the box scores…
Gut Rot 1 @ Demons 4
Gut Rot – Scott K (1)
Goalie Loss – Goalie Ed (0-1)
Demons – Bar Down Brad (1), Rubens (1), Zach T (1), Miles (1)
Goalie Win – Zach L (1-0)
Game Notes: Gut Rot didn’t have to worry about any phantom goals or any goals at all from Zach with an F but the rest of the Demons showed up and gave them too much to handle.
Quick Shifts: After an early marker by Gut Rot, the tide of the game was turning. With just a minute to go in the first half, Bar Down Brad (no Boatsexing, please) tied the game…Demons got a marker shortly thereafter in the second period, when after “W”ideo review (a short stoppage of play to conference), the referees determined that Demons had legally scored prior to a player entering the crease….from there that was all she wrote as the Demons piled on with two more goals to close out this play in game, 4-1.
‘Bows 4 @ Butchers 1
Rainbows – JessicaD (1), Brett H (1), Karl “Good’ay Mate” S (1), Dan (1)
Goalie Win – Greenwald (1-0)
Butchers – Dana (1)
Goalie Loss – Tim Brk (0-1)
Game Notes: Hearing all the cheering on the East court I wanted to stop refereeing the game on the West court. But from what I gather, some weird things happened and Rainbows got oot to an early lead. Some former field hockey players scored…and the Butchers couldn’t mount a comeback without Super Dave…the end.
Quick Shifts: Butchers lose their opening round playoff game to a division 4 team for the second time in two consecutive years….Yetter decided he didn’t have enough time to score (his btsh usual) two goals so he sat the second half off.
TSR 0 @ Mega 3
Goalie Loss – Dave GdR (0-1)
Mega – Michelle “kind of rhymes with Richard” Picard (1), Jeff B (1), Max T (1)
Goalie Shutout Win – Mike T (1-0; 1 shutout)
Game Notes: Everyone’s playoff bracket is yet to implode (what do you mean you picked Butchers?) as Shelly was able to skip oot early from her NWHL morning skate and make the Mega game on time.
Math 5 @ SKY 3
Math – Zach N (1), Jon M (1), Sam N x2 (2), James “Bobblehead” Bobby W (1)
Goalie Win – David L (1-0)
SKY – Christian H (1), Jake T (1), James McQ (1)
Goalie Loss – OG James (0-1)
Game Notes: Zach made sure that Sam reffed at 1pm so that he would be at their game on time (which is funny because they both literally showed up to the courts at 1:05pm….)
Quick Shifts: With Math and Demons locking up playoff round wins, both goalies with the “L” initial actually had “W’s”, a far cry from both going L-L-L-L….to start the year…..Sam takes an early lead in playoff scoring with the only multi goal game on the day with his brace which helped pace Math to a win.

2018 Round of 16 Previews – Part 1
September 27th, 201819. Dark Rainbows at 1. Cobra Kai
by Richiehero
This aint no play-in game Rainbows. Cobra Kai came in first for a reason. After getting upset by Math last year, there is almost no chance Lauren and her crew takes this game lightly. Liam, Lauren, Dani will shut down most teams offense, and the shots that get threw will be gobbled up by Campbell. Don’t believe me? Check out this save. https://www.youtube.com/
Meanwhile, as great a turnaround as the Rainbows have been this season, they are still -39. But their turnaround is real. They didn’t get lucky vs. the Butchers, they earned that W. While they don’t have a superstar like Liam, they have many players who could play on any top division team. Their girls aren’t at the level of Tiffany, (either) Charlotte, or Alyssa, but they are young and run like heck. Ica and the C/Kats really bring energy to this team. And with a tear in my eye, I have to say the leadership of Cat and Greenwald is pretty awesome to watch. This team can win the Southeast Division next season.
