GAME OF THE WEEK
Denim Demons (3-2-0-1) at Unicorns (4-1-0-1)
Location: Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
All-Time Series: Denim Demons lead 6-5-2
Game Notes: Two of the league’s top goaltenders go head to head in this inter-conference matchup. After a slow start to the 2011 season, the Denim Demons’ Aaron “Coach” Pagdon has returned to the form that helped him capture last season’s “Best Goaltender” award second best goals against average. In his last four games, he has allowed just two goals and recorded two shutouts. During that stretch, however, the offense scored a paltry three goals, resulting in a 2-1-0-1 record. With Craig “Ug” LaCombe between the pipes, the Unicorns have allowed the fewest goals in BTSH. LaCombe, who had the top goals against average last season, has given up less than one goal per game and leads the league with three shutouts. His goaltending, along with strong defensive play from the rest of the team, has boosted the Unicorns into a tie for first place in the Donohue Division. With bragging rights at stake between good friends Pagdon and LaCombe, goals will be at a premium when these teams collide.
Keys To The Game:
1. After averaging 3.8 goals per game last season, the Denim Demons’ offense has struggled this year, averaging just two goals per game. Zack Tinkelman and Mike Pereira, who combined for 31 goals in 2010, have scored just once so far. It is clear that Pereira’s lack of attendance this season has hurt the team.
2. The Unicorns’ offense has revolved around the top line of Joe Polowczuk and Chris, who have collectively scored more than half of the team’s goals. Polowczuk leads the team with five goals on the season. In addition, after playing with the Rehabs in a guest role against the Happy Little Elves, he is also tied for their team lead with three goals.
3. Unicorns captains Courtney and Lindsay were recently spotted tape recording a supposedly closed Denim Demons practice in an attempt to procure footage of David Kenneth Fraser’s sprinting prowess. Furious, Demons captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens has filed a formal complaint with league manager Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta and noted, “I’ll go to the papers if I have to.”
Eli’s Pick: Denim Demons. Pagdon has been a little better than LaCombe in recent weeks.
Derek’s Pick: Denim Demons. Their deeper bench gives them a boost when they need it most.
Watchability: 4 Joe Tinkys. With both goaltenders keeping goals off the board, this game should stay close until the end.

GAME OF THE WEEK
Denim Demons (12-1) at LBS, Inc. (6-6-0-1)
Location: Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
All-Time Series: LBS, Inc. leads 9-1-1
Game Notes: Two of the hottest teams in BTSH collide in this Rubens Division battle. The Denim Demons have won their last 10 games, dating back to their only loss of the season in Week 4. They have allowed the fewest goals in the league due to the stellar play of all-star goalie Aaron “Coach” Pagdon and a nearly impenetrable defense. In addition, the team boasts two of the league’s top 10 scorers in Zack Tinkelman (16) and Mike Pereira (12). LBS, Inc. has also looked impressive in recent weeks. The Corporation has won three games in a row and is back at .500 for the first time since Opening Day. The offense has been en fuego over this stretch with 19 goals, bumping the team to a tie for second in scoring. LBS, Inc. also has two players in the league’s top 10 in Karsten Pichon (14) and “The Alpha Male” Ken Poulin (14). With the first game between these divisional opponents canceled due to “rain fears,” both teams will be looking to make a statement in their only meeting of the 2010 season.
Keys To The Game:
1. Depending on the outcome of the Sky Fighters/Corlears Hookers game at 1:00, the Demons may have the opportunity to clinch the Rubens Division in this game. The chance to win a second straight division title and secure the top seed in the playoffs should provide the Demons with plenty of motivation.
2. LBS, Inc. captain Sascha Puritz is clearly well-prepared and excited for the Corporation’s first game of the week of 2010. She noted, “We have hockey on Sunday? I thought it was a bye week.” She continued with several expletives upon learning that her opponent would be the Demons.
3. Although the Denim Demons have torn through BTSH this season, they have historically struggled against LBS, Inc. They have won just once in 11 meetings with the Corporation, which includes last season’s 3-2 loss in Week 22.
Eli’s Pick: LBS, Inc. The Corporation’s mastery continues.
Derek’s Pick: Denim Demons. With the potential to clinch the division title and four players involved in the All-Star Game, this could be a banner day for the Demons.
Watchability: 4.5 Poulins. Two high-scoring offenses on hot streaks should make for a very exciting contest.
Week 13 News and Notes
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010The Demons Have More Fans Than You
As per tradition, the Denim Demons once again hosted their annual “Demons Family Day” this past Sunday. All players on the team were highly encouraged to invite their families for some good, clean Demons hockey. Thus, the West Court dugouts were packed with red, as the honored guests witnessed the Demons defeat the defending champion Sky Fighters 1-0 in a spirited Hockey Night in Tompkins national telecast. This marked the second consecutive shutout for the Demons on Family Day, who also beat Cobra Kai 2-0 in 2009.
With record attendance and several family members making lengthy treks to reach the game, the event was viewed as a huge success. Notable attendees included frequent btsh.org commenter Joe “Twinkle Toes” Tinkelman, Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens’ mother, the Carsons, and Abby “Tayne” Meisterman’s moms. Rubens’ mother even donned a throwback Adam Rubens jersey to support her wonderful son. She noted, “…the way my son took down the Sky Fighters, he truly is a legend killer!”
