Week 11 Preview
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Don’t Take Filthy Gorgeous Lying Down
GAME OF THE WEEK
HOCKEY NIGHT IN TOMPKINS
Filthy Gorgeous (6-2-1) vs. LBS, Inc. (6-3)
Location: Tompkins East, 6:30 PM
All-Time Series: Filthy Gorgeous leads 3-1-1
Game Notes: Hockey Night in Tompkins has been blessed with a great matchup this weekend, courtesy of the Schuie-tron 3000. After a red hot start to the season, Filthy Gorgeous has stagnated in the past few weeks, winning only one of their last four games. During this stretch, the offense has averaged just one goal a game, but on the strength of two shutouts from Dan “D.O” Owens, the team has managed to salvage a win and a tie. LBS, Inc. has now won three games in a row and is once again looking like an elite team after a sluggish start to the season. The Corporation is second in overall scoring, mainly due to its lethal duo of Karsten Pichon and “The Alpha Male” Ken Poulin, who both have double-digit goals (13 and 10, respectively). With Pichon and Poulin playing at such a high level, “D.O.” will once again have to be at the top of his game for Filthy to break out of its slump.
Keys To The Game:
1. Filthy Gorgeous’ defense has given up only 12 total goals this season, placing it second in BTSH. The most the team has allowed in any one game is a scant three goals.
2. LBS, Inc. defender Sam Anthony remains one of the best dual threats in the league. In addition to being one of the top pure defenseman in BTSH, he has also chipped in six goals, putting him third on the team.
3. It is no secret that Filthy Gorgeous defender Becky Antar Novick is one of the league’s biggest fan favorites. With a raucous crowd expected for Hockey Night in Tompkins, her cheering section should be loud and boisterous.
Eli’s Pick: LBS, Inc. The Corporation is clicking on all cylinders right now.
Derek’s Pick: LBS, Inc. I’ll call the two defenses a wash in this game, but LBS, Inc. has the advantage on offense.

Week 9 Preview
Thursday, June 4th, 2009Unicorns Aim To Devour Filthy Gorgeous
GAME OF THE WEEK
Filthy Gorgeous (5-1-1) vs. Unicorns (5-2)
Location: Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: Filthy Gorgeous leads 2-1-1
Game Notes: After winning their first five games of the season, Filthy Gorgeous has gone winless in the last two weeks, losing to the Dark Rainbows and then tying the Denim Demons. Their potent offense, which averaged six goals a game during their five-game winning streak, has been held to just two goals in the last two games. However, the defense remains staunch, as Filthy has allowed only 10 goals all season, including a shutout against the Demons last week. The Unicorns have won their last three games, although each has been by only one goal. Despite this impressive run, their loss against the Happy Little Elves remains a puzzling dark cloud to their season. Although they clearly have the potential to play at an elite level, they also have the potential to lay an egg every now and then. Which version will show up on Sunday when they face their Woodsworth Division rivals Filthy Gorgeous?
Keys To The Game:
1. While “Gentleman” James Pereira leads Filthy Gorgeous with nine goals and has received most of the fanfare for his accomplishment, Sunny Mehra has quietly chipped in seven of his own. He remains an underrated force on the team.
2. Although Susanna of the Unicorns has only two goals this season, she has come through in the clutch multiple times. She scored the only shootout goal in their win against the Mathematics and tallied the overtime goal to beat the Corlears Hookers.
3. Though the game’s existence is questionable, Filthy Gorgeous defeated the Unicorns 4-2 in a tight week 5 battle. Although Filthy wore their electric lime throwback jerseys for that game, captain Monica Russo has ruled against breaking them out a second time.
Eli’s Pick: Filthy Gorgeous. A win will give them some momentum for their showdown with the Corlears Hookers next week.
Derek’s Pick: Filthy Gorgeous. Although they didn’t get the result they wanted last weekend, their level of hockey was playoff caliber.
Week 5 Preview
Thursday, April 30th, 2009Monica Has Jesus On Her Side
GAME OF THE WEEK
Unicorns (2-2) vs. Filthy Gorgeous (4-0)
Location: Tompkins West, 4:00 PM
All-Time Series: Filthy Gorgeous leads 2-1-1
Game Notes: The Unicorns enter this Woodsworth Division matchup on the heels of a stunning loss to the mildly popular Happy Little Elves. Of greater concern than the loss itself, however, was that their normally potent offense was held scoreless. Despite this loss, the Unicorns will retain possession of the extremely prestigious (yet imaginary) Fairy Tale Cup, largely due to a huge week 1 victory against the Dark Rainbows. While Filthy Gorgeous does not possess any cup, the team does possess the highest scoring offense in BTSH, with 26 goals in four games. Half of their goals have come off the sticks of “Gentleman” James Pereira (7) and Sunny Mehra (6). They now sit atop the standings, tied with fellow Woodsworth Division rival, What The Puck. The Unicorns’ fast-paced offense has the potential to upset even the toughest of teams in BTSH, but it will need to be firing on all cylinders to defeat a front-running Filthy Gorgeous team.
Keys To The Game:
1. The Unicorns’ offense will look to Chris, as he now leads the team with four goals on the season. More important, he also leads the team in smiles and general good-naturedness.
2. Filthy Gorgeous goalie Dan “D.O.” Owens already has a shutout to his credit and has only allowed just five goals in three games. However, his numbers are trending in the wrong direction as his GAA has increased with each game. Owens will need to reverse this pattern for Filthy to be successful.
3. Although the uniform has been labeled one of the ugliest in the history of BTSH, captain Monica Russo has ordered her teammates to wear their throwback, electric lime jerseys from 2006. It is clearly not a coincidence that these jerseys bear an eery resemblance to those of the Happy Little Elves, the team that defeated the Unicorns last week. Of course, Monica would never be that devious…
