\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 4-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Although this is\u00a0one of the few inter-divisional matchups on the docket this week, through an odd scheduling quirk, this will be the Sky Fighters’ fourth consecutive Rubens Division opponent and the Demons’ third consecutive Schloeder Division opponent.\u00a0 The Sky Fighters have looked like a more complete team this season, as several players have contributed to their success.\u00a0 In the past,\u00a0their scoring attack has revolved solely\u00a0around Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka, but in recent weeks,\u00a0the team has found other ways to win.\u00a0 Newcomer Greg Cohan led the team with\u00a0two goals in their week 12 victory over Fresh Kills, and goalie Robert Kucera recorded a shutout against the Rehabs in week 11.\u00a0 With the Denim Demons’ win in week 12 against the Mighty Squirrels, they continue to remain the only team in BTSH without a regulation loss.\u00a0 The team has clearly relied on its defense and goaltending this season, as the Demons now rank first in the league in goals against (16) and shutouts (4).\u00a0 However, with five goals in the Demons’ last two games, forward Jeff Kamen has established himself as\u00a0the hottest scorer in BTSH.\u00a0 The Sky Fighters will have their hands full as they try to stop him and the Fightin’ Rubens.
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1. There may be a goalie controversy brewing\u00a0in Sky Fighters camp, as both James Stein and Robert Kucera have performed well this season.\u00a0 Although Stein is listed as the official starter, Kucera has both of the team’s shutouts this season.
\n2.\u00a0All eyes will be on Demons forward Micael Holmstr\u00f6m and Sky Fighters defender Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka.\u00a0 They are two of the most skilled players in BTSH and both have the ability to take over a game.
\n3. Captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens has promised to take the entire team out to dinner at Ruby Tuesday should the Demons\u00a0win.\u00a0 Ana Hurka-Robles is especially excited, as she has always been a fan of their Thai Phoon Shrimp appetizer.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters.\u00a0 Martin’s due for a big game.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons.\u00a0 According to Ruby Tuesday’s website, Thai Phoon Shrimp is “the perfect storm of texture and flavors.”\u00a0 Just like the Demons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 1-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This Rubens Division matchup will mark the second leg of the\u00a0illustrious Barnacle Bowl.\u00a0 In the first game, Cobra Kai rallied late to force overtime, but the Elves ultimately prevailed\u00a0due to a game-winning goal by Melanie Pessin and passable goaltending by Rich Glanzer.\u00a0 The Elves can clinch the Bowl with a win, a tie, or (pending an overtime loss) a lead in aggregate goals.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> No pick. Eli will be reffing this game.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Happy Little Elves<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> What The Puck leads 9-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These two Woodsworth Division\u00a0teams enter this game headed in opposite directions.\u00a0 After a “horrendous start”\u00a0to the season, the Tuques have now won their last two games, including their first ever victory over the Unicorns.\u00a0 Conversely, Larry’s Orange Juggernaut limps into this game\u00a0with a two-game losing streak and a bloated injury report.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 Even with a dinged up roster, Mad Dog always has some tricks up his sleeve.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 4-4-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Unicorns have been BTSH’s biggest enigma this season.\u00a0 Despite holding victories over What The Puck, the Corlears Hookers, and the Dark Rainbows, they have also lost to the Happy Little Elves and Tuques.\u00a0 It seems that no matter who their opponent is, the Unicorns will always play a close, competitive game.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills.\u00a0 They have a history of finishing strong in tight games.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 2-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Please note, this game has been moved to the 6:30 (Hockey Night in Tompkins) time slot on the West court.*\u00a0 Good luck, Monica!<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 5-5-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These two teams last met in a play-in game of the 2008 BTSH playoffs.\u00a0 Due to captain Eric Devlin’s “no girls allowed” policy,\u00a0Mega Touch played the entire game 3-on-5.\u00a0 Despite this bizarre\u00a0gambit, the Touch still prevailed\u00a02-1.\u00a0 Anklebiters captain Phil “Sandy” Donohue is hoping that his new “no Eric DiPierris allowed” policy will enable the Anklebiters to exact some revenge.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Gouging Anklebiters.\u00a0 Since implementing\u00a0the new policy, Donohue’s squad is 2-1.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Gouging Anklebiters<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. leads 5-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> When these two teams first met in the opening week of the season, LBS, Inc. crushed the Mighty Squirrels to the tune of 7-0.\u00a0 LBS, Inc. forward Karsten Pichon, who leads the league with 14 goals,\u00a0notched three in this game.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.\u00a0 They’re the hottest team in BTSH right now.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 3-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These bitter Rubens Division rivals already faced off in week 4, with the Rehabs handing the Corlears Hookers their first loss of the season.\u00a0 With attendance issues being a key factor for the\u00a0Hookers that day, captain Peter “Purple Rain” Putka has dubbed this game “Jock Paul Cowboy Hat Day”, with the first ten Hookers to arrive receiving a free Stetson hat.\u00a0 However, the Rehabs have countered with\u00a0a promotion of their own: $howT!m3 Beaded Shirt Day<\/a>.\u00a0
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 Jock Paul Cowboy Hat > $howT!m3 Beaded Shirt
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> No pick.\u00a0 Derek will be reffing this game.<\/p>\n
