What The Puck at Gremlins<\/b>
\nby Isaac<\/em><\/p>\n

Pucks find themselves in the unfortunate time of the season when many of their own trade in the fight for glory for the lazy beach with frozen drinks. \u00a0With the lead for tops in their division hanging in the balance week to week Emily and Susie must keep their troops engaged by bring the refreshments to the sidelines. \u00a0Do this and Justin, Noah and Co. will show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gremlins are in a battle of their own for tops in their division and each shift without Cody, Busch, or Sherwood sends shivers down Jamie\u2019s spine. \u00a0Luckily for him his bosom buddy and trusted defender is back from his latest Walk-a-bout (which consisted of pacing in place while wearing VR goggles) and thirsty for action. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction<\/span><\/i>: Gremmies have been resilient this season and will win this contest 4-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corlears Hookers at Dark Rainbows<\/b>
\nby Isaac<\/em><\/p>\n

Early in the off-season Brian C. set forth his plan to rebuild the Hookers by poaching members of the Dark Rainbows. \u00a0Roberts, Klion, Ling, Fleming and goalie Longwell were all promised roster spots and plenty of minutes on the new Hookers. \u00a0Only after submitting their transfer forms to the league office for approval were they informed that 4 spots really only meant 1*. \u00a0Leaving three of them BTSH homeless…<\/span><\/p>\n

*You see, in Cro-country when one is asked how many alcoholic beverages they\u2019ve consumed they divide by 4. \u00a0For instance, Brian should never be allowed to ref a game if he\u2019s had 3 or more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.<\/p><\/div>\n

So, as per league rules, because the Hookers were home wreckers the Rainbows may borrow any subs they choose without prior permission. \u00a0That means we\u2019ll get treated to a Cherie-Ariel-Tia line with Gabe-Cat on defense (Psst! \u00a0Gabe, you\u2019ll enjoy partnering with Cat, but Soko better not get any ideas.) and Pear-Probie-Wilson with Roman-Abby backing them up. \u00a0It\u2019ll be tremendous. \u00a0Really great.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction<\/span><\/i>: the Rainbows get their chance at revenge without reinforcements and come up short against their old teammates. \u00a0Hookers take this one 4-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Filthier at Sky Fighters<\/b>
\nby Isaac<\/em><\/p>\n

Filthier may not be the toast of the league anymore, but they are still highly respected. \u00a0Not far removed from drinking from the PBR Cup, it is still Champions blood that courses through the veins of these lethal assassins. \u00a0You may not think of defense when you think of Filthy, but you sure do think of Ann. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As well regarded as their opponent might be, the Sky Fighters are no slouches. \u00a0Fresh off her game winning heroics, Webster has got the confidence to face any foe. \u00a0While Roman and Greg roll their eyes in the face of any fancy-pants challenger. \u00a0The Sky Fighters might bend from time to time, but they hardly ever break.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction<\/span><\/i>: Suvin hulks out with a hat trick and helps Filthy narrowly escape the clutches of defeat by 4-3 in OT.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mathematics at Fuzz, 2:15 pm<\/strong>
\nby JW<\/em><\/p>\n

Question: Without Derek around, is the Math\/Fuzz friendly rivalry still intact? <\/span>
\nAnswer: As long as Eli, Rich, and the Norrises are still around, yes……yes it is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last season, these two teams played an intense back-to-back, with each team getting a win. Now, they match up again and the constant desire to best each other still burns bright.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

And we’re the three best friends that anyone could have.<\/p><\/div>\n

So, what will happen this time around? \u00a0Will Rich and Sam argue over something? (Yes, probably multiple things.) Will Zach laugh at them both for arguing? (Almost certainly.) Will Sam score a goal? (Probably.) \u00a0Will Rich score a goal (Highly unlikely.) \u00a0Will Walsh injure his knee? (It’s probably already injured.) Will Eli be rooting for Fuzz? (I can’t imagine a scenario in which he doesn’t.) Will Alyssa be the nicest player on the rink? (Not if Michelle has anything to say about it.) Will Coach run to center to take a face-off again? (I hope so.) Will Sarah H. be lost without Steph C.? (We all will.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Keys to the Game: Hicks’ beard. Is he going to go full Brent Burns with that thing, or what?<\/span><\/p>\n

(This is the only key to the game.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Becky told me (and all of us) here: <\/span>https:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/welcome-back-becky-norris\/<\/span><\/a> \u00a0that one of her goals upon returning from Cambodia is to beat Fuzz. She has her first chance this Sunday in what I would normally say is hands down the game of the week. However, apparently very few of the people I mentioned above will even be there on Sunday, so maybe stay in and rearrange your sock drawer, instead. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Poutine Machine at Instant Karma<\/b>
\nby Guest Writer<\/em><\/p>\n

Former pin-up model, but current Mr. July, Hornswoggle lives for the sizzle of the courts during this summer month. \u00a0For this is the time of the season that when the going gets hot, he and Poutine gets biz-zay. \u00a0Their new goalie is unproven in BTSH, but no stranger to the balls of street hockey. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cocky bastards.<\/p><\/div>\n

Karma on the other hand has had difficulty withstanding the heat this season. \u00a0The pressures of keeping pace with offensively strong teams has frustrated them at times. \u00a0Ben and Brianna have been discussing changing up lines and assignments and could be unveiling a new-look Karma for the second half season push. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction<\/span><\/i>: this game is a nail-bitter from beginning to end, but Teddy\u2019s D protects their house and Poutine eeks out another victory by 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
