The Mathematics Will Pickle Cobra Kai<\/h4>\n

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

GAME OF THE WEEK<\/strong>
\nMathematics (1-2-1-1) vs. Cobra Kai (1-3-0-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mathematics lead 5-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Last week marked a turning point in the season for the Mathematics.\u00a0 After going winless in their first four games, Math found itself down by two goals with ten minutes remaining against the Tuques.\u00a0 However, with three quick goals they were able to turn the game, and potentially their season, around.\u00a0 Their opponent this week, Cobra Kai, also had a slow start to the season.\u00a0 After losing its first three games, the Dojo has responded with three points in its last two games, including a win against Mega Touch.\u00a0 With both teams having shaken off the early season rust,\u00a0this bitter rivalry has all the potential to be a classic.
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1. After missing the Mathematics’ first four games with a lower body injury, Bradley Schmidt returned last week and assisted on their first goal.\u00a0 His playmaking ability makes him dangerous whenever he touches the ball.
\n2. Rem “Canadian Strongman” Garavito has an innate\u00a0knack to deliver in the clutch for Cobra Kai.\u00a0 A late goal of his forced overtime with the Happy Little Elves last week, earning an extra point in the standings for his team.
\n3. League officials have been working around the clock to book Mathematics great Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi and Cobra Kai icon Peter “Ski” Oblamski to drop the ceremonial first ball.\u00a0 It remains to be seen which team will draw more inspiration from its respective legend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gouging Anklebiters (2-2-1) vs. Corlears Hookers (3-1-0-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 3-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Corlears Hookers enter this game on what, by their standards, constitutes a slump of epic proportions.\u00a0 Even the promise of a Jason Eitel pog couldn’t prevent a two game losing streak, so the Hookers have altered plans for this week’s Reilly “Fake Dutch” Olson lunchbox giveaway.\u00a0 Rather than giving every player a lunchbox, Hookers captain Peter “Purple Rain” Putka has announced that at the conclusion of the game–contigent on a Hookers victory–one\u00a0promotional lunchbox will be presented to the team’s leading goal scorer.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Corlears Hookers. Now that’s motivation!
\nDerek’s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 Rumor has it, Jason Eitel has been looking for a new place to keep his lunch.<\/p>\n

Mexican Standoff (0-5) vs. Rehabs (4-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 5-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Based on record, the Rehabs seem to have a clear advantage coming into this game.\u00a0 However, with the Rehabs’ regular goalie, Anthony Romeo,\u00a0out of town for a hockey tournament, the team brass has been forced to take extreme measures.\u00a0 This Sunday, none other than Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez will don the\u00a0pads, with potentially hilarious results.\u00a0
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs
\nDerek’s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs.\u00a0 $howT!m3 still manages to find his way on to Avenue A after a diving save.<\/p>\n

LBS, Inc. (3-2) vs. What The Puck (5-0)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. leads 7-5
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> After a sluggish start, LBS, Inc. made a statement last week, pasting Mexican Standoff 8-0. With their offense now firing on all cylinders, they now boast one of the most intimidating scoring attacks in BTSH, as well as the league’s leading scorer<\/a> in forward Karsten Pichon.\u00a0 Regardless,\u00a0What The Puck captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer is not impressed.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck. Larry sees your leading scorer and raises you three of the top nine leading scorers.
\nDerek’s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 Mad Dog already has plans to add Karsten for next season anyway.<\/p>\n

Mega Touch (0-4-1) vs. Unicorns (3-2)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Unicorns lead 8-3
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Unicorns are riding high after their huge win over the Corlears Hookers last week.\u00a0 However, they must be careful not to suffer a letdown against a tough Mega Touch team that is playing a lot better than its record indicates.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns.\u00a0 It’s a Woodsworth Division game, so that should be enough motivation.
\nDerek’s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns<\/p>\n

Mighty Squirrels (2-3) vs. Sky Fighters (3-2)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels lead 4-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This is the first divisional rematch of the 2009 season.\u00a0 These two teams last met in Week 4, where the Sky Fighters were victorious 3-0, on the strength of two goals from Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka.\u00a0 However, the standout performance of the game came in goal, as Sky Fighters backup goalie Robert Kucera notched the shutout.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters
\nDerek’s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters.\u00a0 They are relishing the chance to take two from the Schloeder Division namesake.<\/p>\n

Dark Rainbows (4-1) vs. Filthy Gorgeous (5-0)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows lead 3-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Two of the hottest teams in BTSH square off in this tilt, as the Rainbows have won four in a row, and Filthy Gorgeous has yet to lose a game.\u00a0 After registering the best single game performance of the season with five goals last week, Rainbows sniper John Nielsen will be hard-pressed for an encore.\u00a0 One thing he is contemplating is playing the game blindfolded.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> No Pick. Eli will be reffing this game.
\nDerek’s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous<\/p>\n

Fresh Kills (2-3) vs. Happy Little Elves (2-3)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Fresh Kills leads 1-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> By virtue of their overtime victory against Cobra Kai last week, the Happy Little Elves\u00a0obliterated their win total from the 2008 regular season and also set a franchise record with their second consecutive win.\u00a0 The Elves have been without the services of captain Ben Chadwick for the past two games, although he is quick to note that his absence in no way correlates to their recent run of good fortune.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills.\u00a0 If the Elves knock off the defending champs, I might the consider the possibility of picking them next week.
\nDerek’s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills<\/p>\n

Tuques (0-5) vs. Denim Demons (3-0-1-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 6:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 7-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Tuques are delighted to be playing in the primetime matchup this week, as they have been desperately seeking more exposure.\u00a0 With all eyes on the East court for this game, an upset victory over the Fightin’ Rubens would be the perfect way to thrust them into the limelight.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons.\u00a0 They relish being the villains.
\nDerek’s Pick: <\/strong>No Pick.\u00a0 Derek will be reffing this game.<\/p>\n

Media Records:<\/strong>
\nEli:<\/strong> 30-8
\nDerek: <\/strong>25-13<\/p>\n
