It’s Always A Good Time In The Schloeder Division<\/h4>\n

\"Amy<\/a><\/p>\n

GAME OF THE WEEK<\/strong>
\nMighty Squirrels (1-1) vs. Gouging Anklebiters (2-0)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels lead 4-1-1
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>The Mighty Squirrels snapped a 12-game losing streak last week with a solid win against Mexican Standoff.\u00a0 After lying dormant for 75 minutes of play, the Squirrels’ offense finally awoke when Arthur “Lil Weezy” Revechkis scored their first goal of the 2009 season.\u00a0 Also promising was new goalie Eric Ramirez, who made a splash in his debut, holding the potent Standoff offense to no goals.\u00a0 With their two victories to open the season, the Gouging Anklebiters are already halfway to equaling their four wins from 2008.\u00a0 Their latest win, a stunning upset over the Rehabs, proves that the Anklebiters are putting their foot down and can no longer be taken lightly.\u00a0 The Anklebiters will look to stay undefeated as they face a familiar Schloeder Division foe.
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1. Nestor Nonato’s return to BTSH has buoyed the\u00a0attack of the Gouging Anklebiters.\u00a0 His offensive prowess has been\u00a0a key component to their fast start.
\n2. Despite getting a little dinged up last week (as usual), Mighty Squirrels shutdown defender Marie Marberg is probable for this game.
\n3.\u00a0 Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri scored the game-winning goal for the Anklebiters last week.\u00a0 However, captain Phil “Sandy” Donohue remains steadfast in keeping him relegated to the eighth line.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Gouging Anklebiters.\u00a0 Another win or two and Charles DeFranco might even start talking some trash.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels.\u00a0 Tim “(S)crappy” Gray has been conspicuously absent so far this season.\u00a0 This can only mean good things for the Squirrels.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What The Puck (2-0) vs. Sky Fighters (2-0)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Sky Fighters lead 6-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This is the only battle between unbeaten teams on the Week 3 schedule.\u00a0 What The Puck has to yet to allow a goal this season.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck…but the shutout streak ends.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck<\/p>\n

Rehabs (1-1) vs. Unicorns (2-0)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 8-6-1
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>This Sunday is Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez’s 26th birthday and as a gift, he will get the opportunity to take on his former team.\u00a0 $howT!m3’s teammate Alex “Villano VI” Zabala also has a history with the Unicorns…but it isn’t his birthday.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Rehabs. $howT!m3 can’t lose on his birthday, right?
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns.\u00a0 Yes he can.<\/p>\n

Happy Little Elves (0-2) vs. Corlears Hookers (2-0)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series: <\/strong>Corlears Hookers lead 1-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>Although many might write off the Elves fairly quickly in this contest, they took the Corlears Hookers to a shootout in their 2008 matchup.\u00a0 Despite their record, the Elves are playing competitive hockey, as both of their losses this season have been by only one goal.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Corlears Hookers
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 According to the Mad Dog, the Hookers are the “LZ Lock of the Week<\/a>” (see below), so who am I to argue with that?<\/p>\n

Mexican Standoff (0-2) vs. Filthy Gorgeous (2-0)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 3-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>Due to a scoring correction, Filthy Gorgeous forward James Pereira is now tied for the league lead in goals with five. \u00a0 Co-leader Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka of Sky Fighters is not happy about the situation.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Filthy Gorgeous…unless Standoff somehow acquires Cejka.
\nDerek’s Pick:<\/strong> No Pick.\u00a0 Derek will be reffing this game.<\/p>\n

Cobra Kai (0-2) vs. Denim Demons (1-0-0-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 2-0-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> After a heartbreaking loss in a shootout last week, the Denim Demons will look to regain momentum against a struggling Rubens Division opponent.\u00a0 However, it is questionable whether the Demons will be 100% focused, as they may be more concerned with the Rock Band tournament later in the day.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons. The rumor is that the Demons’ first goal will be celebrated with an air guitar solo.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons<\/p>\n

Mathematics (0-1-0-1) vs. Mega Touch (0-2)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mathematics lead 4-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This game will settle once and for all who has the better hair: Andy Pratt or Alex “Coop” Eben Meyer.<\/p>\n

LBS, Inc. (1-1) vs. Dark Rainbows (1-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. leads 6-4-1
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>“The Alpha Male” Ken Poulin of LBS, Inc. has no problem with the Dark Rainbows, because they wear pink.\u00a0 This will be the Dark Rainbows’ inaugural Schloeder Division game.
\nEli’s Pick:<\/strong> No Pick. Eli will be reffing this game.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.<\/p>\n

Fresh Kills (1-1) vs. Tuques (0-2)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Fresh Kills leads 10-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This will be the Fresh Kills’ first home game of the season.\u00a0 As tradition dictates, they will raise their championship banner over the court and present each team member with a commemorative ring.\u00a0\u00a0The Tuques will be given a replica Fresh Kills banner if they are among the first 20,000 in attendance.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills.\u00a0 With all of the pre-game festivities, will the fans finally get a chance to see “Hollywood” Jeff Lesser?<\/p>\n

Media Records:<\/strong>
\nEli:<\/strong> 12-3
\nDerek:<\/strong> 11-4<\/p>\n
