Week 8 News and Notes
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010With These Two In Charge, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Due to consistent underappreciation and limited access to the league power structure, the goalies of BTSH are in the initial stages of forming a union. As labor conditions continue to deteriorate and goalies have become just an afterthough in league policymaking, this union will finally give the netminders a united front to protect their interests. Cobra Kai’s Peter Lang, who is the founder of the movement, notes, “Goalies get no respect in this league. We’re the ones wearing pounds of equipment in the 90 degree heat, and no one cares.” The Mathematics’ Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez, who is Lang’s second in command, adds, “This collaboration is necessary as our plight continues to be exacerbated under the tyrannical rule of the BTSH despots.”

Week 8 Preview
Thursday, June 10th, 2010Can The Elves Upset What The Puck Once Again?
GAME OF THE WEEK
What The Puck (5-0) at Happy Little Elves (4-1-0-1)
Location: Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: Tied 1-1
Game Notes: High-octane offenses will collide, as the top two scoring teams in BTSH face off in a Weyersberg Conference showdown this Sunday. What The Puck has lit the lamp an impressive 28 times this season, good for second most in the league. However, with one fewer game played than a majority of the league, Larry’s Orange Juggernaut ranks first in per game scoring. Salvatore Malguarnera, Jr. and Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer lead a balanced attack with six and five goals, respectively. The Happy Little Elves lead all of BTSH with an astounding 31 tallies through six games. Rookie Trevor Beauclair has quickly made his presence known with his team-leading eight goals, which also ranks him second in the league. Even more stunning are the six goals from Elves captain “The Chairman” Ben Chadwick. With both teams averaging more than five goals per game, expect a lot of offense in this brightly colored battle.
Keys To The Game:
1. As a by-product of their prolific scoring, What The Puck and the Elves are also ranked one and two in goal differential. However, WTP’s defense and goaltending have been stingier, as it has allowed the second fewest goals in the league, even on a per game basis.
2. The Happy Little Elves stunned the league in Week 22 of the 2009 season with a 7-1 thrashing of What The Puck at Moffo. This outcome prevented What The Puck from clinching the coveted Prince of Weyersberg Trophy. The win, however, did not help the Elves to gain possession of the prestigious (yet imaginary) Fairy Tale Cup.
3. Unhappy with recent acquisition Jeremy Roenick crying on national television, What The Puck captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer has exercised his option to rescind last week’s trade that saw Corey “Chongo” Winters go to the Winnipeg Jets. Winters will take over Roenick’s place on the third line with grizzled veteran Tom MacDonald and Lisa Harrington.
Eli’s Pick: What The Puck. They’ve scored at least five goals in each game, and I don’t see the Elves getting six or more here.
Derek’s Pick: What The Puck. The normally carefree What The Puck players will have revenge on their minds.
Watchability: 4 Beauclairs. Roderick “Guy LeDouche” Cruz’s wild antics and unorthodox goaltending style are worth a Beauclair on their own.
Week 7 News and Notes
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010Somewhere, James Stein Is Crying
This past Sunday, Craig “Ug” LaCombe of the Unicorns hosted BTSH’s first Sega NHL 94 tournament to benefit Kelly Buchanan. With nearly 40 participants, the event was a rousing success. The afternoon and evening featured several intense rounds of play, but in the end, two competitors remained: Josh Feldman, the brother of someone in the scrimmage group (no relation to Rehabs instigator Jon “Dinner Plate” Feldman, however), and Jay Rosenberg, Rachel “A-Korn” Greene’s former co-worker.
The final consisted of a best of three series with Feldman controlling the New York Rangers and Rosenberg controlling the Vancouver Canucks, thus mimicking the actual 1994 Stanley Cup Final. After a solid victory in the first game, Feldman clinched first place with an amazing third period comeback in the second. At the end of the night, Feldman returned $75 of his winnings, while Rosenberg returned his full second place prize of $20.
