Week 6 News and Notes
Tuesday, May 10th, 2011Do You Smell What Tommy Is Cooking?
Three Stars of the Week
Third Star: Myrto Mylopoulos, Tompkins Square Riots. Myrto scored the only shootout goal in the Riots’ win against the Unicorns, and we’re looking for any excuse to get this video on the site one more time.
Second Star: Joe Polowczuk, Unicorns/Rehabs. As a borrowed player, who was inexplicably allowed to play by the Elves power structure, Joe recorded a hat trick to lead the Rehabs to their first victory of the season. In addition to giving his Fairy Tale Cup rivals a taste of things to come, Polowczuk also scored the game-tying goal in his own game for the Unicorns.
First Star: Tommy Capatosta, LBS, Inc. The Corporation’s Security Manager had all five of the team’s goals in LBS, Inc.’s 5-4 overtime win against the Sky Fighters. He has dubbed the accomplishment the “Capatostrick.”

Week 6 Preview
Thursday, May 5th, 2011Nick Will Use His Intelligence To Beat Cobra Kai
GAME OF THE WEEK
Cobra Kai (3-1-1) at Fresh Kills (4-1)
Location: Tompkins West, 4:30 PM
All-Time Series: Fresh Kills leads 7-1-1
Game Notes: Former division rivals renew acquaintances in this inter-conference battle. After suffering their first loss of the season, Cobra Kai responded last weekend with 6-1 thumping of the Tompkins Square Riots. Rookie linemates Sarab Lalri and Marc Beland combined for three of the goals. The duo has ignited the Dojo’s offense this season with seven of the team’s 12 goals. Fresh Kills also had a big win last weekend, as the team shutout the previously undefeated Corlears Hookers 2-0. The victory marked the team’s third win in a row and once again proved that captain Dave Sokolyansky and company belong in the Weyersberg Conference. In fact, despite the team’s promotion, Fresh Kills still boasts the second best offense in BTSH with 17 goals. However, this week may pose the stiffest test yet, as the offense will attempt to penetrate Cobra Kai’s second-ranked defense.
Keys To The Game:
1. Similar to years past, Fresh Kills sports one of the most balanced scoring attacks in the league. Eight different players have tallied at least one goal this season, with five of them scoring multiple times.
2. Goaltender Peter Lang and the Cobra Kai defense have surrendered just six goals in five games, good for second in the league. With the offense finally finding its groove last week against the Riots, the Dojo could be a legitimate dual threat going forward.
3. Last season, these teams split two fairly spirited contests, each winning 5-2. This will be their only regular season matchup of 2011, and both teams would like to win the rubber match.
Eli’s Pick: Fresh Kills. They did beat Cobra Kai for the Donohue Division title last year.
Derek’s Pick: Fresh Kills. Experience triumphs over youth.
Watchability: 4 Sladeks. This will be a classic matchup of old school versus new school BTSH.

Week 5 News and Notes
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011Is Jesse Kalb The Next Elves Captain?
In order to right the ship after losses to What The Puck and Mega Touch, the Happy Little Elves made the drastic decision to appoint a guest captain for their Rubens Division matchup against the Denim Demons. After a grueling application process, regular captains “The Chairman” Ben Chadwick and Rich Glanzer based their choice on the outcome of a “skeetball” game. Thus, when Mathematics captain Derek Tagliarino ousted Chadwick, he was given the reins to the team.
Employing the guest captain’s brilliant new strategy dubbed the TEDI (Tagliarino’s Elves Defensive Initiative), the Elves held the Demons scoreless through all of regulation and overtime. Unfortunately, the TEDI does not include any methods for scoring goals, so the Elves were also held off the score sheet. However, the Elves were ultimately victorious, when Tagliarino made the bold decision to put under-utilized and often overlooked flaxen-haired defender Trevor Beauclair in the shootout. The always modest Beauclair converted the final shootout attempt of the day, clinching the win for the Elves and Tagliarino.
After the success of Sunday’s guest captain (who retires undefeated from the position), Chadwick and Glanzer have already announced that they will continue to invite others to lead the team. Some of the rumored candidates include Jonathan “The Barnacle” Levine, Mike Smith, Anita Khar, Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi, Julie Katz, Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer, Jesse Kalb, Karsten Pichon, and $h0wT!m3.
