Week 11 Preview
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008Can These Two Stay Undefeated?
GAME OF THE WEEK
Mighty Squirrels (6-0-3) vs. Filthy Gorgeous (7-2-1)
Location: Moffo, 5:00 PM
All-Time Series: Filthy Gorgeous leads 2-1
Game Notes: Both of these teams enter the weekend tied for first place in BTSH, alongside LBS, Inc. and What The Puck. Although Filthy Gorgeous boasts the second highest goal total in the league with forty, they have relied on several different players to account for their scoring. Joseph Pereira currently leads the team with just six goals, while Matt Novick, James Pereira, and Paul “Ashy Larry” Vernon have each contributed five. The Mighty Squirrels’ offense, on the other hand, ranks in the middle of the pack, but their defense is tied for second in goals allowed. Although captain Rachel “A-Korn” Greene’s “back to fundamentals” approach to hockey is a large factor in their new found defensive prowess, much of the credit can go to new goaltender Tommy Mayoros, who has allowed only nine goals in eight games. The winners of this game could find themselves in the unexpected position of first place as the break rapidly approaches.
Keys To The Game:
1. Arthur “Lil Weezy” Revechkis now has six of the Mighty Squirrels’ twenty-four goals. With Revechkis accounting for twenty-five percent of the offense, keeping him in check should be a priority for Filthy.
2. While Filthy Gorgeous goalie Dan Owens’s goals against average is not as sterling as Mayoros’s, he has been just as effective. He is coming off of his first shutout of the season and has not lost a game since week two.
3. Mighty Squirrels superstar defenseman Gary Kowalski has a hearing scheduled with the city of New York on Sunday at 4 PM to discuss seventy-six unpaid parking tickets. Although the meeting is downtown, it is unclear if he will be able to make the game.
Eli’s Pick: Filthy Gorgeous. Monica 1, Sven 0.
Derek’s Pick: Filthy Gorgeous. Offense beats defense, and the Squirrels suffer their first loss of the season.

Filthy and The Rehabs Have a Long, Strange Journey From Moffo to Corlears
Due to a postponed game, Filthy Gorgeous and the Rehabs had double duty on Sunday. In addition to having to make up their game against each other at Moffo, each had to play a second game at Corlears. The results for both teams were mixed. Although Filthy kicked off the day with an impressive shootout victory over the surging Rehabs, they could only muster a tie against LBS. On the other hand, the Rehabs rebounded from the heartbreaking loss to Filthy with a convincing win over the feisty Cobra Kai. Although neither team managed to sweep the day, both added three points in the standings, keeping them high in the upper tier of BTSH.

New Jersey’s Exports: Precious Metals, Industrial Machinery, and Tommy Mayoros
After struggling with the goaltending tandem of Rob Gorden and Tim “(S)crappy” Gray last season, the Mighty Squirrels seem to be a different team this year. With new goalie Tommy Mayoros in the net, they’ve been walking with a new found swagger…some might even say an air of confidence. They are now 1-0-1 after facing two tough teams. Captain Rachel Greene was sure to note, “People often ask us where we got our awesome goalie from, and the answer is simple. We got him from New Jersey.” New Jersey was offered Scrappy in exchange, but it politely declined.
