Week 18 Preview
Thursday, August 20th, 2009This Little Patch Has Turned Around The Rehabs’ Season
GAME OF THE WEEK
Tuques (6-10) vs. Rehabs (8-4-0-3)
Location: Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
All-Time Series: Rehabs lead 6-5
Game Notes: After struggling at various points in the season, both of these teams now seem to be headed in the right direction. Since starting the season 1-8, the Tuques have five of their last seven games and are currently on a three-game winning streak. During this three-game stretch, their offensive attack has exploded, averaging more than seven goals per game. Newcomers Denis Miciletto and Shafiq Perry have led this charge, accounting for seven and six August goals, respectively. After snapping a six-game losing streak two weeks ago with an emphatic 7-2 pasting of Cobra Kai, the Rehabs continued their success last week with a solid 4-3 defeat of the Mighty Squirrels. Although the team features one of the most balanced offenses in the league, forward Dave Fraser stepped up and scored two goals against the Squirrels, including the game-winner. More Rehabs will need to follow Fraser’s lead if they want to knock off the surging Tuques.
Keys To The Game:
1. In addition to the Tuques’ new blood on offense, rookie defenders Adam Robertson and Jason Mandell have been the key cogs to a much improved defense this season.
2. The Rehabs have only allowed 31 goals on the season, ranking them third in BTSH. Anthony Romeo’s goaltending abilities not withstanding, this is a true testament to the skills of their women, as the Rehabs are the only team to use an all-female defense.
3. After tearing a ligament in her right knee, Rehabs defender Chantel Arroyo must wear a cumbersome brace for all games. There’s nothing funny about ligament tears.
Eli’s Pick: Rehabs. The $wagger is back.
Derek’s Pick: Tuques. Captain Dave Ladanyi’s “new superstar iniative” has paid off.
Watchability: 4 Grande-Capones

Form And Function
No longer content with displaying simple mathematical functions across their chests, the Mathematics unveiled a new, advanced jersey line on Sunday. After years of sporting shirts with only addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs, the Mathematics added exponents and square roots to their repertoire. In addition, a special “black out” jersey (bearing the same new logos) was also commissioned as an occasional alternate uniform. Like their predecessors, the new shirts received rave reviews throughout BTSH. One league member, Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens, was quoted as saying, “If Mathematics shirts were on sale, I would totally buy one.”

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008What The Hell Is Andrea Doing On the Left Side?
Jim Dandeneau Didn’t Even Get The Chance To Be Booed Off The Stage
This year’s Sharif Corinaldi Hot Legs Competition featured the largest entrant pool in the event’s short history. Without previous champions, Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi and Minkus competing, there was no clear favorite among the pack. However, despite the plethora of particpants, the contest quickly whittled down to three finalists: Jason “The Hamburglar” Rosenstock (Mexican Standoff), James Townsend-Butterworth (Sky Fighters), and Ali Chenitz (LBS, Inc.). As clothes continued to be shed, and beer continued to be poured, one competitor rose above the others. Rosenstock recognized his boyhood dream, as he was declared the winner by the boisterous crowd. As per tradition, bartender Brent Smith “presented” Rosenstock with a victory cupcake.
