Week 11 Preview

GAME OF THE WEEK
Fresh Kills (6-2-0-1) at Dark Rainbows (5-2-0-2)
Location:
Tompkins East, 1:00 PM
All-Time Series: Dark Rainbows lead 6-3
Game Notes: Division leaders collide as Fresh Kills and the Dark Rainbows face off for the first time since their opening round contest in the 2009 playoffs.  Fresh Kills has ascended to the top of the Donohue Division thanks to the stellar play of its youth, something the team has not possessed in the past.  Rookie forward Justin Ross has overshadowed his veteran teammates with seven goals and has scored in four of his last five games.  Fellow rookie, goaltender Patrick Barch leads the league in shutouts with three and has been the backbone of a defense that has allowed the fewest goals in BTSH.  The Dark Rainbows, after a disappointing 0-2 start, have climbed to a share of the Hackett Division lead with no regulation losses in their last seven games.  John Nielsen is tied for fifth in the league scoring race with eight goals, including a stretch of five consecutive games with at least one.  With each team fighting for supremacy in its respective division, can the veteran experience of the Rainbows win out over the relative youth of Fresh Kills?
Keys To The Game:
1. Fresh Kills captain Dave Sokolyansky and his brother Mike are not twins.  Despite this fact, however, they have both scored four goals this season, and they also wear matching shirts for each game.
2. The Dark Rainbows are still on a high from capturing the prestigious (yet imaginary) Fairy Tale Cup for the first time in franchise history.  They hope to carry the momentum over into this game, despite a three-week layoff.
3. In their last meeting, during the 2009 playoffs, the 11th seed Fresh Kills upset the 6th seed Dark Rainbows 3-1.  However, a lot has changed for Fresh Kills since then, as one of their three goal scorers, as well as their starting goalie for that game now play for the Tompkins Square Riots.
Eli’s Pick: Fresh Kills.  I can’t pick against a sensitive guy like Kevin “The Planet” Foster.
Derek’s Pick: Dark Rainbows.  They seem to have shaken the early season rust and are in prime position for another solid run.
Watchability: 4 Sokolyanskies.  It should be noted that this rating scale is named after Mike, and not Dave.

Calisthenics With Rubens

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

With the Denim Demons off to another hot start in the 2010 season, all of BTSH is studying their every move in order to glean what has been working so well for them. While captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens has steadfastly refused to divulge any of his in-game strategy, he has been gracious enough to provide a handy guide to pre-game calisthenics.

“Any good stretching regimen should take approximately 20-30 minutes.  Although the focus of your routine should be on the legs, young players are reminded to hit all parts of the body.”

Guest Columnist: Rich Glanzer

The following views do not necessarily represent those of the editors or of BTSH. They do, however, represent those of Rich Glanzer.

While everyone knows I like to stay quiet and not comment much, I feel the need to speak up about a miscarriage of justice.  Before I speak of this injustice, I want everyone to know how much this hurts me to say, since the two people that have besmirched our beloved BTSH, I used to consider friends.

Adriano Bratta and Ben Chadtrick (Chadwick) are both in the Survivor Pool.  However, in Week 5, they, along with Jesse Kalb all lost.  When it happened, I, along with the rest of the league, figured there would be no winner, and the champion would revert back to whoever won last.  And that just so happens to be me.

There is precedence in this approach.  If the three teams involved all tie, the prestigious (yet imaginary) Fairy Tale Cup is awarded to the team that held it the previous season.  So, since all three players lost in Week 5, they should have all been eliminated, and I, Hockey Rich, should have been deemed champion once again.

But because BTSH turncoats Derek and Eli run the Survivor Pool, they decided to make up their own rules, and screw me of my deserved title.

I have to say that the original winner, Abby Meisterman, and I are true champions.  We wouldn’t accept taking the title if we actually lost.  Adriano and Ben are not worthy champions.  They are only worthy of our league-wide scorn.

Good Day!!
