Week 13 Preview
Thursday, July 16th, 2009The Demons Will Need Their Defense To Stop Those Guns
GAME OF THE WEEK
Sky Fighters (7-4) vs. Denim Demons (7-0-2-2)
Location: Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: Denim Demons lead 4-2
Game Notes: Although this is one of the few inter-divisional matchups on the docket this week, through an odd scheduling quirk, this will be the Sky Fighters’ fourth consecutive Rubens Division opponent and the Demons’ third consecutive Schloeder Division opponent. The Sky Fighters have looked like a more complete team this season, as several players have contributed to their success. In the past, their scoring attack has revolved solely around Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka, but in recent weeks, the team has found other ways to win. Newcomer Greg Cohan led the team with two goals in their week 12 victory over Fresh Kills, and goalie Robert Kucera recorded a shutout against the Rehabs in week 11. With the Denim Demons’ win in week 12 against the Mighty Squirrels, they continue to remain the only team in BTSH without a regulation loss. The team has clearly relied on its defense and goaltending this season, as the Demons now rank first in the league in goals against (16) and shutouts (4). However, with five goals in the Demons’ last two games, forward Jeff Kamen has established himself as the hottest scorer in BTSH. The Sky Fighters will have their hands full as they try to stop him and the Fightin’ Rubens.
Keys To The Game:
1. There may be a goalie controversy brewing in Sky Fighters camp, as both James Stein and Robert Kucera have performed well this season. Although Stein is listed as the official starter, Kucera has both of the team’s shutouts this season.
2. All eyes will be on Demons forward Micael Holmström and Sky Fighters defender Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka. They are two of the most skilled players in BTSH and both have the ability to take over a game.
3. Captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens has promised to take the entire team out to dinner at Ruby Tuesday should the Demons win. Ana Hurka-Robles is especially excited, as she has always been a fan of their Thai Phoon Shrimp appetizer.
Eli’s Pick: Sky Fighters. Martin’s due for a big game.
Derek’s Pick: Denim Demons. According to Ruby Tuesday’s website, Thai Phoon Shrimp is “the perfect storm of texture and flavors.” Just like the Demons.
Week 7 News and Notes
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009All Right, All Right, All Right!
Party At The Moon Tower!
To cap off a great day of hockey, a hastily arranged party was held at the BTSH Moon Tower. Although the party was originally scheduled to take place at Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri’s parents’ apartment, as they were out of town for the weekend, the event had to be moved when they arrived home early. As a result, numerous BTSHers swarmed to the secluded location in the forest to enjoy good times and free beer. The highlight of the party was clearly league philanderer Brian “Grandmaster B” Barrett, who could be seen canoodling with many of the younger females in attendance. As he left the party, one lucky young lady received an invitation from him to see Aerosmith in a few weeks.
However, the party was not all fun and games, as a donnybrook broke out towards the end of the evening. To prove his manhood, Alex “Coop” Eben Meyer picked a fight with the toughest person in attendance, Heidi “The Maple Leaf Muscle” Karst. Although Coop surprised The Muscle with the first punch in hopes the fight would be broken up quickly, he was pummeled when no one came to his rescue.
The Dark Rainbows were not seen at the party, but they later claimed to have been “at a different moon tower”.
Week 6 Preview
Thursday, May 7th, 2009The Sky Fighters Are Hungry For A Win
GAME OF THE WEEK
Sky Fighters (3-1) vs. Dark Rainbows (3-1)
Location: Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
All-Time Series: Dark Rainbows lead 3-2
Game Notes: After a successful 2008 campaign, the Sky Fighters have continued to wow a once skeptical BTSH crowd. They have won three of their first four games, with the lone blemish coming at the hands of the What The Puck juggernaut. Under the smashmouth approach of captains Amy Lott and Dan Hopper, their staunch defense has only yielded seven goals so far this season, highlighted by holding What The Puck to its lowest one game total. Unlike the rising Sky Fighters, the Dark Rainbows have been perennial contenders for several seasons. After a season opening loss, they have won their last three games in a row and seem poised to once again finish towards the top of the standings. They boast an extremely balanced and deep offensive attack, as their 12 goals have been scored by seven different players. The outcome of this Schloeder Division game will likely hinge on whether the Sky Fighters’ vaunted defense can hold the Rainbows’ multi-dimensional offense in check.
Keys To The Game:
1. Despite the Sky Fighters claims otherwise, defender Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka is the primary component of their offensive attack. His seven goals represent half of their total scoring.
2. Trevor “White Jesus” Tyrrell’s transition back to offense has gone swimmingly. He now leads the Rainbows in scoring with three goals.
3. Dark Rainbows captain Sean Reynolds is brimming with confidence. He boasts, “We wear pink and it’s Mother’s Day. How can we lose?”
Eli’s Pick: Dark Rainbows. Sean’s logic works for me.
Derek’s Pick: Sky Fighters. Sean’s logic would work better for me if their jerseys weren’t faded to white.
