Around the League – Week 4
April 22nd, 2018
Dana and Schuie’s baby will be named, PeteTarzanRevechkis after the goal scorers in today’s Butchers v Biters game. Butchers earned their first win of the season and handed the Biters their first loss.
Demons also got their first win of the season by defeating Mega Touch. Afterwards they celebrated by giving Ella Royale her dog back, then throwing down at Double Wide.
Poutine welcomed back Hornswoggle from his far east Odyssey and upended the Riots to remain unblemished.
Cobra Kai also continued their roll by slowing down the Puck’s. It’s becoming hard to tell if Campbell’s that solid or Liam’s that good.
Ariel and Fresh Kills got back in the win column in a white knuckle match-up against Fuzz.
Dark Rainbows earned a point (!) thanks to the hard work put in by Karl, Tia and Eitan, however, the Gremlins got 2. (Jerks.)
Riding his confidence from earlier Eitan helped take Math to a shootout against the Rehabs. Sadly, again, he only earned a single point.
Karma rode the stupendous play of Brianna and Derek to withstand the surly fury of Gut Rot.
Filthier outpaced the Hookers and for the 236th straight game Ann was left open back door. (WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE LEARN?!)
LBS knocked aside an under the weather Sky Fighters despite Kelsey’s snail pace of a transition to ball hockey. For those still at the league bar, please buy Greg a hot toddy. (Get well, champ.)
Week 4 She-views – Part 2

2017 ROTY Nominee Marcella v Captain Tia
Gremlins at Dark Rainbows
BTSH experienced a true Oscar moment last awards season with a snafu rivaling La La Land being announced for best picture. Full story coming soon.
Both ladies bring true dedication and spirit to the games. These ladies constantly find ways to involve themselves with their team, community and sport. This game will be a battle.
Prediction: If the Rainbows win, does this count as the first win of the season given that they still haven’t completed last week’s game? 3-2 Rainbows. However, superstitious Tia would like the statement adjusted to 3-2 Gremlins. Read the rest of this entry »
Week 4 She-views – Part 1

Who run the world? GIRLS!!!
Chief Design Officer Amy v Board Woman Georgine
Gouging Anklebiters at Butchers
We haven’t seen much of Amy yet this season, but we know her heart and creative mind is with the ‘biters every week. Amy always creates fabulous costume designs for the ‘biters new recruits, which we sadly missed seeing due the opening party being hosted on Saturday. There’s always next year!
Georgine is a constant surprise as she is always willing to take on roles within BTSH to make it a better place. Her chill attitude and ‘Who Cares?’ motto should be adopted by more teams.
Prediction: The Butchers can’t catch a break, 6-2 Anklebiters, but these teams will be seen sharing beers after. Read the rest of this entry »
Three Stars of Week 3
April 18th, 2018by Cat
Third Star
Ella from Royale
Probie made good on his campaign promises and delivered discounted drinks at Royale for the rum and vodka drinkers of the league, to the delight of many, but particularly Liz B. And who knows why but it seems that Royale might… actually like us? The patio may be covered in smelly equipment, any non-BTSH patrons are miserable, Chadwick plays a goddamn slide whistle they have to pretend to delight in, their limes are not safe from being tossed, and yet the manager insists he’s happy to have us.
So good once it hits your lips.
More likely, of course, is they are scared of us. How else do you explain this piece of worrisome video propaganda of smiling Royale staff Ella?
I’ll summarize the contents for those of you who aren’t video compatible:
JEN P yells at poor Ella:
Go!
ELLA laughs nervously, fearfully:
Hi BTSH it’s Ella from Royale. Um I just want to let you guys know that the Denim Demons are the league sweethearts, because they hang out.
ELLA strikes a pose with a hockey stick, JEN applauds:
Go Demons!
Tip the wait staff enough and they’ll say anything.
Someone save Ella. Read the rest of this entry »
2018: Week 3 Box Scores – Scoring Highlights
April 17th, 2018What do you mean the box score game notes isn’t a rational replacement for adding gif comments on posts in the BTSH fb group …? Anywho…on to the games that were, and still are!
Sky Fighters 1 @ Math 2
Sky Fighters: Matt R (1)
Goalie Loss: James S (1-2)
Math: Jon (3), Elly (2)
Goalie Win: Eitan via Free Agents
Game Notes: Eitan posts back to back via free agency wins for Math as they hang on to beat the no longer double digit scoring Sky Fighters in a close CMB divisional affair. #RosterHim
Hookers 1 @ Anklebiters 3
Hookers: Cro (4)
Goalie Loss: Dustin (1-1)
Anklebiters: Shooey (1), Probert (7), Chris B (2)
Goalie Win: Dee J Bubble Bath (2-0)
Game Notes: Left was right and right was left on this day as GANK climb to 3-0 and Hookers are looking like their former selves and are in need of another fourth division team to poach talent from come the post week 5 trade block. This was a one goal contest until late in the final frame, where GANK did their best Dallas Stars of 2016/Michael Grabner impersonation and capitalized on an empty net opportunity.
Butchers 0 @ Rehabs 6
Goalie Loss: Tim Brk (1-2)
Rehabs: Cherie (1), Alex WM (3), JoeyBats x2 (4), Sena I. (1), Ramy “I wear blue everyday except on Sundays” O. (1)
Goalie Shutout Win: Eric R (1) (1-0)
Game Notes: JoeyBats went back to forward and all from last week was forgotten as he had two snips allowing Rehabs to have a great bounce back game against the Butchers. On an unrelated note, I have this sinking feeling that I think I called Cheeky, Sarah, at Tompkins Square Bagels last week…hope she didn’t notice.
Gremlins 4 @ Mega 3
Gremlins: Erich G x2 (3), Cody C (2), Iannis (1)
Goalie Win: Jamie B (1-2)
Mega: Alok (2), Jeff x2 (2)
Goalie Loss: Mike T (1-2)
Game Notes: Magic Man returned to help pace the Gremmies to their first W of the season in what we’ve been told, was a very friendly game of croquet with Walker sitting out a couple of his teammates for separate 5 minutes iso time-outs for bettering his TOI and +/-. #startedateven #stillthere
DaPucks 3 @ Gut Rot 2
DaPucks: John #69 C (1), Eric H (1), Paully P (3)
Goalie Win: Scott H (1-2)
Gut Rot: ScottyK x2 (3)
Goalie Loss: Eitan via Free Agents (still #RosterHim)
Game Notes: In another Michaliga division instant classic, Pucks triumphed after another two goal lead was blown by the Bitzez…Pucks were feeling generous on this day and decided to miss two shots at the empty net, but luckily Scott held down the fort in the final moments after an unlucky start to the game…Backup… there are two ScottyK’s?
Quick Shifts: Ramon had a goal called back that would have spotted Gut Rot a 3 goal lead in the early going. Definitely was not foreshadowed last week…Amidst the ol’ sophomore slump, Ball Hogg found a creative way to finally find his way on the game sheet – this of the penal offence variety- for an equipment violation for wearing Don Cherry disapproved elbow pads.
Gotta go back to the sponge as the “D-C” (or Seinfeld) says!
Filthier 1 @ Fuzz 4
Filthier: James P (2)
Goalie Loss: Tim K (2-1)
Fuzz: Ryann “RNV” G (3), Miles (6), Paul (1), Sig (1)
Goalie Win: Coach (3-0)
Game Notes: Mike T continues to play a game of chicken and hasn’t scored yet. Fuzz took advantage of an under the weather Tim K (too much pre game Chipotle or something) and a short Filthy bench to keep pace with GANK atop the CMB divisional race.
Demons 1 @ Karma 3
Demons: Josh R (1)
Goalie Loss: Zach L-L-L (0-3)
Karma: Brianna V (2), Matt (1), Cory (2)
Goalie Win: Steve F (2-0)
Game Notes: Popack’s left boob got in the way of everyone’s fun again, denying Karma of a disrespectful 4th goal, so she claimed. She’s now 2 for 2 (or 3 for 3, perhaps) with a 100% save, err, no, blocking, percentage.
Pounds 5 @ Fresh Kills 2
Pounds: ScottyK x2 (3), Karsten “you can be competitive but still get the call for the hall” P. x2 (2), Jake from the W (3)
Goalie Win: Mike Sizzler Z (2-1)
Fresh Kills: Ariel (2), Soko (1)
Goalie Loss: Barch (1-1)
Game Notes: No poor captain’s decisions or gift wrapped mystery goals this week as Los Blancos take advantage of a light Fresh Kills lineup and made quick work of them before the rain fears fell upon the 5:30 matchups.
OUT OF TOWN SCOREBOARD
Kai’s ahead of Curd’s at the half after another Tom snipe 1-0. I warned yah! Campbell and RJ started between the pipes for their respective teams.
Rainbows lead Riots after 25 (minutes and hours), by 1-0. Greenwald and GDR are keeping both their squads in it. We’re not going to jinx anything, but we foresee more rooftop practices in their future after closing this one out, whenever that will be.
Week 3 in Tweets
Jeff also made fun of my biz-nas school email signature this past week. I’ll have to add another 2 lines to it now to show him! #HonMoments
