Week 9 News and Notes
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009Why Is Adriano Winking At Me?
Hopefully, Cobra Kai Doesn’t Have Any Loose Photos Of The Media
For the first time since his free agent signing with What The Puck, former Cobra Kai member Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta took on his former team on Sunday. Still upset at the 2008 regular season scoring champion for deserting the team, the Kais had some tricks up their sleeves for Bratta. On the second shift of the game, the Dojo unveiled its “5 Adrianos” formation, consisting of five players all with cutouts of Muscles’ face poorly taped to their chests. Captains Enayet “Retail” Rasul and Greg “Lysol” Altman even convinced stand-in goalie Minkus to partake in the charade. Although the mind games worked well enough to hold Bratta to only one goal, What The Puck still won the game 7-3 or 8-3, depending whom you ask.

Week 9 Preview
Thursday, June 4th, 2009Unicorns Aim To Devour Filthy Gorgeous
GAME OF THE WEEK
Filthy Gorgeous (5-1-1) vs. Unicorns (5-2)
Location: Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: Filthy Gorgeous leads 2-1-1
Game Notes: After winning their first five games of the season, Filthy Gorgeous has gone winless in the last two weeks, losing to the Dark Rainbows and then tying the Denim Demons. Their potent offense, which averaged six goals a game during their five-game winning streak, has been held to just two goals in the last two games. However, the defense remains staunch, as Filthy has allowed only 10 goals all season, including a shutout against the Demons last week. The Unicorns have won their last three games, although each has been by only one goal. Despite this impressive run, their loss against the Happy Little Elves remains a puzzling dark cloud to their season. Although they clearly have the potential to play at an elite level, they also have the potential to lay an egg every now and then. Which version will show up on Sunday when they face their Woodsworth Division rivals Filthy Gorgeous?
Keys To The Game:
1. While “Gentleman” James Pereira leads Filthy Gorgeous with nine goals and has received most of the fanfare for his accomplishment, Sunny Mehra has quietly chipped in seven of his own. He remains an underrated force on the team.
2. Although Susanna of the Unicorns has only two goals this season, she has come through in the clutch multiple times. She scored the only shootout goal in their win against the Mathematics and tallied the overtime goal to beat the Corlears Hookers.
3. Though the game’s existence is questionable, Filthy Gorgeous defeated the Unicorns 4-2 in a tight week 5 battle. Although Filthy wore their electric lime throwback jerseys for that game, captain Monica Russo has ruled against breaking them out a second time.
Eli’s Pick: Filthy Gorgeous. A win will give them some momentum for their showdown with the Corlears Hookers next week.
Derek’s Pick: Filthy Gorgeous. Although they didn’t get the result they wanted last weekend, their level of hockey was playoff caliber.
Week 8 News and Notes
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009Harmon’s New Shirt Looks Very Much Like His Old One
Form And Function
No longer content with displaying simple mathematical functions across their chests, the Mathematics unveiled a new, advanced jersey line on Sunday. After years of sporting shirts with only addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs, the Mathematics added exponents and square roots to their repertoire. In addition, a special “black out” jersey (bearing the same new logos) was also commissioned as an occasional alternate uniform. Like their predecessors, the new shirts received rave reviews throughout BTSH. One league member, Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens, was quoted as saying, “If Mathematics shirts were on sale, I would totally buy one.”
