\nRehabs (6-2) vs. What The Puck (8-0)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> What The Puck leads 8-5
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Rehabs were riding high prior to last weekend, as they had\u00a0won five games in a row and showed no signs of slowing down.\u00a0 However, with the team potentially\u00a0looking ahead to this week’s matchup with What The Puck, the Rehabs had their\u00a0streak\u00a0snapped abruptly and unexpectedly at the hands of the Happy Little Elves.\u00a0 Despite this setback, the team remains only four points behind What The Puck in the overall standings and one point behind the Denim Demons in the Rubens Division standings.\u00a0 As the Rehabs prepare to face their toughest opponent to date, they are happy to welcome back\u00a0beloved veterans Jon “Dinner Plate” Feldman and Stacy Kehoe.\u00a0 Their inpirational presence will help bring back the Rehabs’ $wagger, after the embarrassing loss last week.\u00a0 At this point, it’s old news that Larry’s dream team has been unstoppable this season.\u00a0 What The Puck is yet to lose, and only one of their games has been\u00a0decided by a single goal.\u00a0 However, the Rehabs won the 2008 matchup between these two teams, so Mad Dog will not take this game lightly.
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1. What The Puck leads the league with 48 goals, 11 more than the next closest team.\u00a0 They currently boast three players in the top ten goal scorers: Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta (10), Tom MacDonald (8), and Salvatore Malguarnera, Jr. (8).
\n2. According to highly questionable statistics, Rehabs defender Gina Hackett averages eight blocked shots a game.\u00a0 Eight?!\u00a0 Eight, Bob.
\n3. What The Puck defender Ant “Father Time” Ventolieri has made no secret about his wishes to keep fianc\u00e9e\/Rehabs star Chantel Arroyo off the court.\u00a0 Ironically, Chantel has made no secret about her wishes to keep fianc\u00e9\/team cancer Ant on the court.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 I’m not picking\u00a0the team that just lost to the Elves.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 There’s really no reason to pick against them.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. leads 1-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> In a move that sent shockwaves throughout the BTSH community, the Happy Little Elves have added former Gouging Anklebiter Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri to their roster.\u00a0 With the team playing .500 hockey, the Elves fully expect this transaction to\u00a0propel them to the top of the Rubens Division.\u00a0 Unfortunately, DiPierri will be unable to join his new team for several weeks.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.\u00a0 They’re glad to be back in white.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.\u00a0 The one-two punch of Karsten and Ken will be too much for the Elves D to handle.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mathematics lead 4-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This will be the \u00a0Anklebiters first game without the services of Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri.\u00a0 Although the Biters\u00a0will miss his offensive prowess, the move may result in an improvement in\u00a0team chemistry.\u00a0 The Mathematics have now allowed seven goals in each of their last two games and will need to toughen up defensively.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Cobra Kai leads 3-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Although Cobra Kai has now lost three games in a row, the Dojo\u00a0was able to notch three goals against league powerhouse What The Puck last week.\u00a0 However, that offensive outburt only\u00a0brought their season scoring total to 11, which ties them with Sky Fighters defender Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters.\u00a0 Rumor has it Cejka got a tattoo of the Czech Republic on his face.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Fresh Kills leads 5-3
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Led by their goalie Aaron “Coach” Pagdon, the Denim Demons have not allowed a goal in their last 163 minutes of play.\u00a0 However, they face a stern test in a Fresh Kills team that has defeated the Corlears Hookers and Dark Rainbows in its last two games.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> No pick.\u00a0 Eli will be reffing this game.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Unicorns lead 10-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This Woodsworth Division rivalry has been dominated by the Unicorns throughout the years, as they have never lost to the Tuques.\u00a0 Both teams suffered\u00a0tough one goal losses last week and will be looking to rebound on Sunday.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns.\u00a0 Based on these teams’\u00a0records this season, I don’t expect the trend of this series to change.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows lead 5-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Dark Rainbows were\u00a0 missing nearly half of their roster last\u00a0week as the team was busy watching captain Sean Reynolds get hitched.\u00a0 However, they were still able\u00a0to salvage a point against defending BTSH champion Fresh Kills by forcing overtime with a late goal.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 No word on whether Mexican Standoff prankster Ben plans on a follow-up to his white polo shirt gimmick.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 3-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> When these two teams last met in the 2008 playoff semi-finals, the Corlears Hookers advanced with a solid 4-2 win.\u00a0 Certainly, Filthy Gorgeous will be looking to avenge this loss, but with both teams once again playing at a high level this year, an intense matchup is expected.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 They haven’t allowed a goal in 116 minutes.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 Attendance issues once again catch up to the Hookers.<\/p>\n
\nMega Touch (1-6-1) vs. Mighty Squirrels (3-5)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 6:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels lead 4-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> In this week’s edition of Hockey Night in Tompkins, two struggling teams will finally get a chance to showcase their talents on a league-wide stage.\u00a0 The Mighty Squirrels look forward to having their\u00a0rookie sensation Eric Ramirez in the limelight, as he is now tied for the team lead in goals (with 2) in addition to being the Squirrels’\u00a0primary goalie.\u00a0 Mega Touch is just\u00a0happy to finally have other players on the team in the spotlight, besides recent “Know Your Neighbor” celebrity Alex “Coop” Eben Meyer.\u00a0
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels.\u00a0 They always seem to get stuck with the late game.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Mega Touch<\/p>\n
\nEli:<\/strong> 44-15
