BTSH Food Drive, Take 2
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
With “rain fears” washing away last week’s attempted food drive, BTSH will try once again this Sunday, October 4. Everyone is encouraged to bring food to Tompkins, where BTSH representatives will gather it and drop it off at the Bowery Mission. If you would like to help, the league still needs people to help collect everything and drivers to drop off the food (this will likely be done in waves as opposed to waiting until all games are done). Anyone wishing to volunteer, please contact Ed Lau.

Week 21 Preview
Thursday, September 24th, 2009Stork Has Finally Passed The Torch
GAME OF THE WEEK
Fresh Kills (9-8-0-1) vs. Rehabs (11-5-0-3)
Location: Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
All-Time Series: Rehabs lead 5-4
Game Notes: Both of these Rubens Division foes enter this tilt playing some of their best hockey of the season. Fresh Kills has now won its last four games and finally has a record above .500. The recent surge started with an upset victory over LBS, Inc., when Fresh Kills held the league’s fourth ranked offense to just three goals. In the three games since, the defense has stiffened up even more, as the team allowed just two goals (including two shutouts). The Rehabs have won five of their last six games. It is no coincidence that their recent run of good fortune began when they added free agent Adam Skuse to the team. He has scored all nine of his goals during this six-game stretch, making him the team leader in goals. The Rehabs opened their season with a 4-1 win over Fresh Kills, a feat they will look to duplicate as the season winds down.
Keys To The Game:
1. Dave Sokolyansky leads Fresh Kills with 12 goals. His brother, Mike, is also on the team and has assisted on all of Dave’s goals. However, he has repeatedly declined to be recognized, due to his modest nature and acute shyness.
2. During one of Alex “Villano VI” Zabala’s two goals last week, Rehab defender Stacy Kehoe ran to congratulate her teammate but tripped over a crack in the Tompkins pavement. This instantly elevated the celebration to the status of “saddest ever in BTSH.”
3. Rehab forward Rob Blandi has scored six goals in the team’s last six games. Interestingly, the only time he did not score during this stretch was in their one loss.
Eli’s Pick: Rehabs. A win will be a nice belated birthday present for captain Meredith “Danberg” Ficarelli.
Derek’s Pick: Rehabs. Another big game for Skuse will lead the team to victory.

Food Drive This Sunday
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009
As the season winds down and the holidays approach, BTSH wants to make a difference. On Sunday, Sept 27th, the league is going to help the less fortunate through a food drive. It’s simple. Bring food to your game, and BTSH representatives will collect it and drop it off at the Bowery Mission. If you would like to help, the league needs volunteers with cars to help drop off the food (this will likely be done in waves as opposed to waiting until all games are done). Anyone wishing to help, please contact Ed Lau.
Week 20 News and Notes
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009The Alpha Male Is Probably Winning The Assists Race
With just two weeks remaining in the regular season, the race for the 2009 BTSH scoring title is nearing a conclusion. Here are the top contenders for this coveted honor, which guarantees one pull from the Mystery Box at the end of season awards ceremony:
5. Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka, Sky Fighters (18 goals): As the only defenseman in the top five, Martin is a bit of a dark horse in the scoring race. He will have a good opportunity to catch up this weekend when he faces Mexican Standoff, a team that is second to last in goals allowed. However, the Sky Fighters end the season against the Unicorns and the solid goaltending of Craig “Ug” LaCombe. Odds of winning: 50-1.
4. “Gentleman” James Pereira, Filthy Gorgeous (18 goals): James will have to score nine goals just to tie the league leader, but he may have an outside shot given his team’s remaining games. This Sunday, he faces the Tuques, who have allowed 15 goals in their last three games, and he closes the season against Mega Touch, who have allowed the third most goals in BTSH. Odds of winning: 40-1.
3. Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta, What The Puck (20 goals): If not for a severe ankle injury in the middle of the season, Adriano would be towards the top of (if not leading) the pack. Unfortunately, after missing several games, the defending scoring champion still has a lot of ground to cover. What The Puck finishes the season against the Happy Little Elves and Mathematics, two teams with losing records, so catching up is not an impossibility. Odds of winning: 25-1.
2. Jason Eitel, Corlears Hookers (21 goals): Despite putting up five goals against Mexican Standoff in week 17, Jason has not found the back of the net in the Hookers’ last three games. The biggest factor in his favor is that he may have a game in hand on most of his competitors. The Corlears Hookers are still negotiating with LBS, Inc. to reschedule their game from week 18. Odds of winning: 15-1.
1. Karsten Pichon, LBS, Inc. (27 goals): The scoring race is clearly Karsten’s to lose. He has a six-goal cushion on his nearest competitor and, like Eitel, may also have a third game remaining. If Eitel does manage to close the gap, this elusive makeup game could be very instrumental in deciding the scoring champion. Odds of winning: 1-3.
