However, this devastating loss only stiffened What The Puck&#8217;s resolve for this season, as they have put up 19 goals through three games, while only allowing one. Newcomers Sal Malguarnera and Adriano &#8220;Muscles Marinara&#8221; 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.<br \/>\n<strong>Keys To The Game:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Fresh Kills forward Dave Sokolyansky notched three goals, including the game winner,\u00a0in last year&#8217;s playoff game\u00a0against What The Puck.\u00a0 He&#8217;s one of the fastest players on the court and can test even the stiffest of defenses.<br \/>\n2. As veteran Corey &#8220;Chongo&#8221; Winters continues to recover from an injury, What The Puck will look to fellow veteran Mike &#8220;The X-Factor&#8221; Woodsworth to step up his game and leadership abilities.<br \/>\n3. With What The Puck&#8217;s regular goalie Roderick &#8220;Guy LeDouche&#8221; Cruz missing the past two games for Lamaze class, captain Larry &#8220;Mad Dog&#8221; Zimmer has taken matters into his own hands.\u00a0 He has locked Cruz in the team&#8217;s goalie bag and will not open it until five minutes before game time.<br \/>\n<strong>Eli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 Corey&#8217;s never wrong.<br \/>\n<strong>Derek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s just hope Mad Dog remembers to leave a few air holes.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mexican Standoff (0-3) vs. Denim Demons (2-0-0-1)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Location:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 1:00 PM<br \/>\n<strong>All-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 6-0-1<br \/>\n<strong>Game Notes:<\/strong> Despite the fact that former Denim Demon Ellery &#8220;The Nature Boy&#8221; now plays for Mexican Standoff, Demon captain Adam &#8220;Legend Killer&#8221; Rubens does not plan to alter his game plan.\u00a0\u00a0Like all other weeks, he will show no mercy.<br \/>\n<strong>Eli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Denim Demons.\u00a0 That&#8217;s it, Naitch.\u00a0 You&#8217;re out of here!<br \/>\n<strong>Derek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons<\/p>\n<p><strong>Filthy Gorgeous (3-0) vs. Tuques (0-3)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Location:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 1:00 PM<br \/>\n<strong>All-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 4-1<br \/>\n<strong>Game Notes:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous is tied for the league lead in goals with 19, while the Tuques have\u00a0allowed the second most goals.\u00a0 You can see where this goes from here&#8230;<br \/>\n<strong>Eli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Filthy Gorgeous<br \/>\n<strong>Derek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 He fixes the cable?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy Little Elves (0-3) vs. Unicorns (2-1) <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Location:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM<br \/>\n<strong>All-Time Series:<\/strong> Unicorns lead 1-0<br \/>\n<strong>Game Notes: <\/strong>This game will be the third and final leg of the triangular series among the Unicorns, Dark Rainbows, and Happy Little Elves for the prestigious (yet imaginary) Fairy Tale Cup.\u00a0 The Unicorns have already secured possession of the Cup for a second consecutive season.<br \/>\n<strong>Eli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns<br \/>\n<strong>Derek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Unicorns<\/p>\n<p><strong>LBS, Inc.
