Week 3 Preview (Part II)

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 any more lives are taken, or before Dave Gil de Rubio has to play net again for LBS.
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!
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.
BTSH Hammers Demons For Bounties
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012Did This Man Bring Down The Demons?
By Editor Emeritus Derek “Lazer” Tagliarino
In response to the findings of an intense, multi-year investigation of an alleged “bounty program,” disciplinary committee manager Georgine “Mulva” Paulin has levied one of the harshest punishments in the history of BTSH on captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens and the Denim Demons. Effective immediately, Rubens has been suspended for one year from all league-related activities. In addition, Paulin has suspended former Demons defensive coordinator Abby “Tayne” Meisterman (now with the Dark Rainbows) for her involvement in the “crush for cash” scandal. As a team, the Demons have been fined $500 and will have its roster frozen until next offseason. Team veteran Dave Shyu has taken over as interim captain.
Week 14 News and Notes
Tuesday, July 26th, 2011Dave Adds Another Trophy To His Resume
As a thank you to you, the loyal reader, we the writers thought we’d give you a snapshot of who’s going to btsh.org, and how they are getting there. Here are some interesting facts and figures we have noticed, taken directly from Google Analytics:
1. The most viewed post to this point in the season has been the preview for the games of Week 6. Perhaps visitors were attracted by the main photo of Fresh Kills’ Nick Hobbs donning a pair of Hanson brother-like glasses to promote the Game of the Week between his team and Cobra Kai. However, as intriguing as this matchup and the photo are, we can only assume that traffic for the post would have easily doubled had Fresh Kills’ Justin “The Boss” Ross allowed us to use a similar picture featuring him as well as Hobbs.
2. An occasionally searched term over the past two months was “demon beauty contest.” Our readers are obviously quite savvy, because although the media never reported on it, the Denim Demons did in fact hold a team beauty contest over the Memorial Day weekend. Entrants included Dave Shyu, Lauren C., “Hacksaw” Jim Dandeneau, Danny Polinsky, and Dez Penascino. However, due to his perfect score in the swimsuit competition, David Kenneth Fraser was the clear cut winner and was thus declared the undisputed “Most Beautiful Denim Demon.”
3. BTSH.org accumulated the most pageviews for the season on March 21, the day the team previews for Cobra Kai and the Mathematics were posted. Sources indicate that a bulk of these pageviews came from Sky Fighters captain Dan Hopper, who repeatedly hit the reload button on his browser in disbelief that his former teammate Chris “Big Sexy” Shumaker had joined Cobra Kai. However, this explains only half the story. We can also verify that this picture of Mathematics defender Justin “Ballard” Perras and the intrigue surrounding the Mathematics anonymous general manager created a ton of buzz.

Week 13 Preview
Thursday, July 14th, 2011Can Filthy Make It Seven?
GAME OF THE WEEK
Filthy Gorgeous (7-4) at Denim Demons (7-3-0-1)
Location: Tompkins West, 1:00 PM
All-Time Series: Denim Demons lead 4-2-1
Game Notes: Rubens Division rivals face off for the first time this season with just one point separating them in the standings. Filthy Gorgeous had a horrendous start to the 2011 season, winning just one of its first five games. However, sparked by the return of “Gentleman” James Pereira, the team has gone on a tear, reeling off six consecutive victories. During this streak, the team has scored 25 of its 30 goals on the season, with Pereira and his linemate, Suvin “The Guru” Malik accounting for 17 of them. Despite being back to back regular season champions, the Denim Demons have very quietly assumed first place in the Rubens Division. However, it will be tough for them to maintain this standing, as they can look forward to one of the toughest remaining schedules in the league. All seven games left on their docket are against Weyersberg Conference teams, including four divisional games. The Demons’ first challenge will be this weekend against a rejuvenated Filthy Gorgeous.
Keys To The Game:
1. After being swept by the Demons in 2010, Filthy Gorgeous will be looking for vengeance and retribution. To motivate her squad, captain Monica Russo has forced the team to watch the broadcast of the New Orleans Saints’ Super Bowl victory. She has also promised that, much like Drew Brees, she will lead the team in pre-game barking.
2. 2009’s leader in goals against, Aaron “Coach” Pagdon has been the backbone of the Demons. He has recorded three shutouts this season, including one in the Demons’ last game. These shutouts have been even more crucial than in past seasons, as all three came in one-goal games.
3. This will be the first time that Filthy’s “Gentleman” James Pereira and Joe Pereira face off against the Demons’ Mike Pereira since the three won the Best Family award last season. Family members are already taking sides, as cousins Cletus, Merle, and Billy Ray have always been ardent Filthy Gorgeous supporters, while cousins Winston, Reginald, and Preston have always been Demons boosters.
Eli’s Pick: Filthy Gorgeous. Make it seven.
Derek’s Pick: Filthy Gorgeous. The Demons have been doing it with smoke and mirrors so far, and Filthy is too hot to stop right now.
Watchability: 4 DiProsperos. At worst, the winner of this game will have a share of first place in the Rubens Division.
