GAME OF THE WEEK
Denim Demons (7-1) at Corlears Hookers (5-2)
Location: Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: Corlears Hookers lead 3-1
Game Notes: In the short time since the establishment of the Corlears Hookers in 2007, the Denim Demons have become one of their fiercest opponents. The rivalry took off in 2008 when the Demons became the first team to hand the Hookers a loss at Moffo. In 2009, the animosity intensified even further when league scheduler Jeremy “The Foot” Schumacher assigned both teams to the same division (later named the Rubens), forcing them to face off twice in the regular season. The Hookers took the first of these games in Week 2, when they squeezed past the Demons with a 3-2 win in a shootout. In Week 19, the Hookers completed the season sweep with a 4-1 win. However, the Fightin’ Rubens had the last laugh, as they ultimately won the Rubens Division title and were the top seed in the playoffs. With both the Denim Demons and Corlears Hookers once again in the Rubens Division, they will duel twice more this season, with the second matchup taking place on September 26. As this rivalry opens a new chapter in its history, expect an intense game from both sides.
Keys To The Game:
1. After a string of four successive one-goal victories, the Demons won another close game last Sunday, 4-2 against Mega Touch. Their ability to come through in high-pressure situations will only serve them well against the veteran and talented Hookers.
2. Due to excessive absences and freak injuries, Jason Eitel has been a very small part of the Hookers’ offense this season. However, proud parent of Dutch’s niece, Gavin “Dutch’s Brother” Kearney has picked up the slack and leads the team with eight goals.
3. Congratulations to Denim Demon Steve Chernoski, who will be tying the knot on Saturday. Although he is happy to have several of his teammates in attendance for this joyous occasion, he may be in for an unexpected surprise. Unfortunately, when Chernoski requested to have “Rubens’ Rock” at the wedding, the DJ misunderstood him and will thus be playing only Steely Dan.
Eli’s Pick: Corlears Hookers. I’m not quite sure what the state of the Demons will be after an intense night of partying.
Derek’s Pick: Denim Demons. An intense game in the summer heat goes to the team with the deeper bench.
Watchability: 5 Chernoskis. May your first child be a masculine child.
Week 9 News and Notes
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Will Hurricane Sharif Hit NYC On August 1?
Although Summer has just begun, the BTSH calendar is rapidly filling up with special events and social festivities. Here is a look at what is upcoming:
August 1 – Old Timers’ Game. To commemorate BTSH’s 10-year anniversary, Randy Locklair of the Butchers is organizing an Old Timers’ Game. The game will feature long-standing veterans of the league, as well as a few retired players. Although none of the retired players have been confirmed as of yet, some of Randy’s targets include “Hollywood” Jeff Lesser, Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi, Brendan “Flounder” Hay, Molly Jacobs, Peter “Ski” Oblamski, and Jeremy “The Foot” Schumacher.
August 8 – Farewell to Corlears & Johnsons Olympics. BTSH will return to Corlears Hook Park for one last hurrah before NYC converts it to a turf field. Relive some memories as you experience for the last time the joys of the heckle wall, peeing alongside the FDR, and celebrating a goal on the bird bath. After the games, head on over to Welcome to the Johnsons, where Phil “Sandy” Donohue (GA) and bartender Brent Smith will once again host the Johnsons Olympics. Just make sure you don’t accept any cupcakes from Minkus while there.

Week 9 Preview
Thursday, June 17th, 2010Sven Is In No Mood To Deal With Bob Again
GAME OF THE WEEK
Poutine Machine (3-3) at Tompkins Square Riots (4-3)
Location: Tompkins East, 1:00 PM
All-Time Series: Tompkins Square Riots lead 1-0
Game Notes: The top two teams in the MacNeil Division face off for the second time this season on Sunday. In the first meeting between Poutine Machine and the Tompkins Square Riots, the Riots blanked the Machine 5-0. Five different players scored a goal, while Dave Gil de Rubio recorded his only shutout of the season. However, Poutine captain Patrick “Sven” Larsen did not let the loss destroy his squad’s spirits. Since then, the team has split four games to stay within striking distance of the division lead. With a win on Sunday, Poutine Machine would split the season series with the Riots, but more important, move into a tie for first in the division.
Keys To The Game:
1. Poutine Machine currently ranks last in BTSH with only eight goals and has already been shutout twice this season (including Week 2 against the Riots). In order to win, Sven and Company will need to rediscover the offense they exhibited in Week 3, when they defeated Gut Rot 4-3.
2. Patrik Blohmé and Alexandre Frenette have combined to account for half of the Riots’ goals this season. One league member remarked last week that this Swedish-Canadian combo is reminiscent of Peter Forsberg and Joe Sakic when they led the Avalanche to two Stanley Cup championships.
3. Poutine Machine’s Kevin MacDonald has an unusual way of getting amped prior to every game. He eats a complete breakfast, begins stretching 20 minutes before the opening whistle, and listens to rock songs on his iPod.
Eli’s Pick: Tompkins Square Riots. This game will be closer than their first matchup, but in the end, the Riots sweep the season series.
Derek’s Pick: No pick. Derek will be reffing this game.
Watchability: 3.5 Blohmés. Both of these new teams are still trying to establish a name for themselves.
