GAME OF THE WEEK
What The Puck (3-0) vs. Fresh Kills (2-1)
Location: Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: What The Puck leads 7-6-1
Game Notes: When these two teams last met, Fresh Kills upset What The Puck in double overtime in the quarterfinals of the 2008 playoffs en route to their eventual championship. However, this devastating loss only stiffened What The Puck’s resolve for this season, as they have put up 19 goals through three games, while only allowing one. Newcomers Sal Malguarnera and Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta have combined for eight of these tallies. After opening this season with a loss, Fresh Kills has regained its championship form with two consecutive victories. Although they have only put up 10 total goals thus far, the attack has been spread out, as seven different players have their name on the scoring ledger. With a fired up What The Puck squad looking to avenge its 2008 postseason elimination, Fresh Kills will need the help of everyone on its roster.
Keys To The Game:
1. Fresh Kills forward Dave Sokolyansky notched three goals, including the game winner, in last year’s playoff game against What The Puck. He’s one of the fastest players on the court and can test even the stiffest of defenses.
2. As veteran Corey “Chongo” Winters continues to recover from an injury, What The Puck will look to fellow veteran Mike “The X-Factor” Woodsworth to step up his game and leadership abilities.
3. With What The Puck’s regular goalie Roderick “Guy LeDouche” Cruz missing the past two games for Lamaze class, captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer has taken matters into his own hands. He has locked Cruz in the team’s goalie bag and will not open it until five minutes before game time.
Eli’s Pick: What The Puck. Corey’s never wrong.
Derek’s Pick: What The Puck. Let’s just hope Mad Dog remembers to leave a few air holes.

GAME OF THE WEEK
Denim Demons (10-1-2-1) vs. What The Puck (12-2-0-1)
Location: Moffo, 4:00 PM
All-Time Series: What The Puck leads 8-2
Game Notes: These teams waged a classic battle in the quarterfinals of the 2007 playoffs, where What The Puck emerged with a one goal victory. The Demons currnelty trail What The Puck by two points in the standings, but with a game scheduled prior to this one, they could enter this matchup in a first place tie. This has all the makings of an intense and heated matchup, as the victor will have the inside track to the top seed in the rapidly approaching playoffs. With these two teams so evenly matched, victory will hinge on the the motivation and strategy of two the league’s most cunning captains: the Demons’ Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens and What the Puck’s Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer.
Keys To The Game:
1. The Demons will have a 2:00 game at Moffo, which gives Zimmer the perfect opportunity to scout his opponent.
2. With the returns of grizzled veteran Tom MacDonald and spunky forward Jen Hale from Canada to What The Puck’s already potent offense, the Demons will have to go over even more footage in the film room.
3. Known as the utility player of the Denim Demons, Zack Tinkelman can play any position on the court, including goalie, where he has already registered two shutouts on the season.
Eli’s Pick: What The Puck. The Demons get caught up in a “Hale Storm”.
Derek’s Pick: What The Puck. The Orange and Blue will be the first seed in the playoffs.

GAME OF THE WEEK
What The Puck (9-2-0-1) vs. LBS, Inc. (9-2-1)
Location: Moffo, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: LBS, Inc. leads 7-4
Game Notes: What The Puck and LBS, Inc. currently sit in a tie for second place, only one point behind the Corlears Hookers. Both teams feature similar gameplans, as they each have small rosters comprised almost entirely of stars. Three players on What The Puck (Mike “The X-Factor” Woodsworth, Corey “Chongo” Winters, and Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer) now have double-digit goals, while Karsten Pichon of LBS, Inc. leads the league with fifteen. In addition, both teams rely on consistent goaltending as a solid base to their explosive offenses. What The Puck’s Roderick “Guy LeDouche” Cruz registered his first shutout of the season last week, while Seth Wachtell of LBS, Inc. has won all three of his starts since being reassigned to the mail room. The winner of this game will be one step closer to locking up a high seed in the playoffs.
Keys To The Game:
1. Despite missing a fair number of games, Darrell “Accurate Bob” Hartman remains one of What The Puck’s top offensive threats, as he now has eight goals on the season…one for each of the stripes on his socks.
2. After serving a five game suspension, the self-proclaimed “cleanest player in BTSH”, Ken “The Alpha Male” Poulin now has eight goals as well. He and his linemate Karsten will look to demonstrate why they were named the media’s Best Duo of 2007
3. What The Puck captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer has put a bounty on the head of former teammate and current LBS, Inc. player, Erica Lee. He explains, “You’re either with us or against us…and if you’re against us, it’s your ass.”
Eli’s Pick: LBS, Inc. They’ve been playing with a lot more focus since they went corporate, which can only be attributed to CEO Sascha Puritz’s “no suspensions” policy of professional conduct.
Derek’s Pick: What The Puck. If they can get full attendance, they can run with anyone. Plus, team cancer Ant “Father Time” Ventolieri will once again be out with a strained white beard, so that can only help them.
