Week 13 Preview
Thursday, July 16th, 2009The Demons Will Need Their Defense To Stop Those Guns
GAME OF THE WEEK
Sky Fighters (7-4) vs. Denim Demons (7-0-2-2)
Location: Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: Denim Demons lead 4-2
Game Notes: Although this is one of the few inter-divisional matchups on the docket this week, through an odd scheduling quirk, this will be the Sky Fighters’ fourth consecutive Rubens Division opponent and the Demons’ third consecutive Schloeder Division opponent. The Sky Fighters have looked like a more complete team this season, as several players have contributed to their success. In the past, their scoring attack has revolved solely around Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka, but in recent weeks, the team has found other ways to win. Newcomer Greg Cohan led the team with two goals in their week 12 victory over Fresh Kills, and goalie Robert Kucera recorded a shutout against the Rehabs in week 11. With the Denim Demons’ win in week 12 against the Mighty Squirrels, they continue to remain the only team in BTSH without a regulation loss. The team has clearly relied on its defense and goaltending this season, as the Demons now rank first in the league in goals against (16) and shutouts (4). However, with five goals in the Demons’ last two games, forward Jeff Kamen has established himself as the hottest scorer in BTSH. The Sky Fighters will have their hands full as they try to stop him and the Fightin’ Rubens.
Keys To The Game:
1. There may be a goalie controversy brewing in Sky Fighters camp, as both James Stein and Robert Kucera have performed well this season. Although Stein is listed as the official starter, Kucera has both of the team’s shutouts this season.
2. All eyes will be on Demons forward Micael Holmström and Sky Fighters defender Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka. They are two of the most skilled players in BTSH and both have the ability to take over a game.
3. Captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens has promised to take the entire team out to dinner at Ruby Tuesday should the Demons win. Ana Hurka-Robles is especially excited, as she has always been a fan of their Thai Phoon Shrimp appetizer.
Eli’s Pick: Sky Fighters. Martin’s due for a big game.
Derek’s Pick: Denim Demons. According to Ruby Tuesday’s website, Thai Phoon Shrimp is “the perfect storm of texture and flavors.” Just like the Demons.
Week 12 News and Notes
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009Halfway Home
With the season at the halfway point, we in the media have written about many storylines in the past 12 weeks. Here is a closer look at our five favorites:
5. Corlears Hookers Promotional Days
After two seasons of sagging attendance among both fans and his players, Corlears Hookers captain Peter “Purple Rain” Putka knew he had to do something to increase turnout. Therefore, he devised an aggressive promotional schedule for the 2009 season. The giveaways kicked off in week 6 with the extremely popular Jason Eitel pog. In the following weeks, promotional items included a Reilly “Fake Dutch” Olson lunchbox and an Albert “Al” Huang trapper keeper. While the future promotional schedule hasn’t been fully released, the media have received word of a Jock Paul cowboy hat, a Noelle Safar beach towel, and a Peter “Purple Rain” Putka instructionl video on juggling (seen above).
4. Tuques Hockey
When Tuques public relations director Lisa Harrington read that the media compared her team to celery, she knew it was time for some drastic damage control. After several instructional seminars on charisma, Tuques Hockey is more than just a simple marketing slogan…it’s a state of mind. Goaltender Minkus has already created what will be the first of many Tuques Hockey vignettes. In addition, team superstar The Peter Wilson has promised to be more visible for his team and has issued the following statement: “Listen up, BTSH! There’s something I’ve been meaning to get off my chest for a while now. It’s not ‘Peter Wilson’. It’s ‘The Peter Wilson’. Get it right!”

Week 12 Preview

GAME OF THE WEEK
Happy Little Elves (4-6) vs. Mathematics (3-4-1-2)
Location: Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: Mathematics lead 1-0
Game Notes: Despite the sub .500 records of both of these teams, few games have had as much buildup and intrigue to them this season. The Happy Little Elves, based primarily on their 2008 performance and choice of team color, have become a favorite target of the Mathematics-run media’s jokes. The Elves have responded in kind by swamping the comments section of posts with non-sensical ramblings and incoherent jibber-jabber directed at the Mathematics. Although the volleys from each side generally remained friendly and lighthearted, the rivalry took a nasty turn two weeks ago, when Mathematics defender Sarah “T-Bone” Torneten defected to the Elves. As a result, Mathematics captain Derek Tagliarino has ordered team goon Georgine “Mulva” Paulin to go after Torneten’s weak knees on their first shift together. In an additional storyline, Happy Little Elves walking punch line Rich Glanzer and Tagliarino have pumped up the intensity even further, by wagering their prized championship belts on the outcome of this matchup. Although there is only one point separating these two teams in the standings, more is at stake in this game than a simple win or loss.
Keys To The Game:
1. After serving a two-game suspension, recent Elves addition Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri is now eligible to play his first game with his new team. Though sluggish at times, DiPierri does posses one of the better shots in the league.
2. With six of their nine points coming from games they trailed at the half, the Mathematics have proved to be a very resilient team. However, they will need to play two solid halves to beat the Elves.
3. This is the first ever Game of the Week apperance for the Happy Little Elves, due to their residence at the bottom of the standings. Will they rise to the occassion or crack under the pressure now that they are firmly in the spotlight?
