Week 2’s Three Stars

Tuesday, April 15th, 2014

When historians talk of BTSH, Week 2 of the 2014 season will certainly be remembered. Heroes were aplenty, but only 3 shall be named. In short…there were too many heroes.

Even a girl may get a star this week. No promises though.

April 26, Pay for Charity, Win for Glory Part 2

Monday, April 14th, 2014


So one of our big things is not to repost stuff. Or do Playher interviews. But that’s for another time.

Anyways, we are reposting this because there were no games yesterday and this is a lot of fun. I went to it once in 2010, played on Derk’s wife’s Michelle’s team, went 0-2-1 then snuck on another team and won the championship. Joe P. and Suvin also did the same thing as me but Rachel Greene only thinks one of us is an asshole.  Anyways, go to this event, its fun and the after-party is usually epic. At least it was in 2010 when Caroline smacked Joe P. 50 times for being a Flyers fan. It was deserved.

Week 3 Preview (Part II)

Thursday, April 10th, 2014
Redundant Caption Alert:  Game of the Week!

Redundant Caption Alert:
Game of the Week!

GOTW: Denim Demons at LBS, Inc.

Our second Game of the Week features the Denim Demons and LBS, Inc., in a rematch of a very memorable semifinal game from last year’s playoffs, which was won by the Corporation, 2-0.  Both teams won last week, with LBS, Inc. looking impressive against the Gouging Anklebiters, and the Demons looking not as impressive against Cobra Kai.

Keys for the Denim Demons:
Make sure Jeff Kamen shows up.  His two goals last week accounted for all of their scoring in their win over the Dojo.  If he can’t be there, then make sure Zack Tinkelman can.  He is also very capable of a multiple-goal outburst.  And above all else, hope that the poetic justice they were served in the playoffs last year has run its course. 

Tupac hopes the Demons and Lbs. can end this east court/west court rivalry before anymore lives are taken, or before Dave de Rubio has to play net again for the Lbs.

Keys for LBS, Inc.:
In a word, goaltending.  When league stalwart and LBS, Inc. goalie Seth moved to Vancouver towards the end of last season, the Corporation had to find a new goalie for the first time in what seemed like an eternity.  They quickly locked up one of the league’s top goalies, Tim Brown, before the season ended, ensuring they would not skip a beat with the goaltending change.  And if Tim has to miss a game, they can always borrow Dave Gil de Rubio (just not this week…the Riots play at the same time).

Dave is gonna sit this Demons/Lbs. game out. On another note, this is why I'm Richie Hero. I actually took a random picture of Dave last week.  Hero!

Hero!

Prediction:
The Demons are the most-hated team in the league, and it’s not even close.  Hate them as much as you want, but last season is in the past, and they still have a ton of talent.  That talent will be on display Sunday, as the Demons notch a 3-2 win.
Rich’s Pick: Every game is Game 7 for the Demons. The Lbs. play it a little cooler in the regular season so they can turn it up in the postseason. This will be a clean, friendly 4-1 victory for the Demons.
Derek’s Pick: The Corporation forces this into OT, but can only muster a point and lose 4-3 in BTSH’s first regular season shootout that goes beyond three rounds.

GOTW: Mathematics vs. Poutine Machine

Week 1 is in the books and it’s time for the Game of the Week. Going into this season, Poutine and Math were like two ships crossing in the middle of the night. Math was on an upwards swing, and Poutine was spiraling downward. But after Week 1, perhaps we underestimated Poutine, after their brilliant 1-0 overtime win over Gut Rot. 

Sinister Derk, scoffs at the notion that Poutine can beat Math.
