\nUnicorns (8-6) vs. What The Puck (11-3)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 7-7
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> What The Puck captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer has had this game circled on his calendar for a month and a half.\u00a0 Week 11 saw What The Puck swagger into the\u00a0first matchup between these Woodsworth Divisioin rivals, undefeated and cocky.\u00a0 However, with Adriano “Muscles Marinara” on the disabled list for Larry’s Orange Juggernaut, the Unicorns were victorious\u00a03-2, handing WTP its first loss of the season.\u00a0 Since then, both teams have struggled, as the Unicorns have gone 1-3, and What The Puck has gone 2-2.\u00a0 Each team will look to shake out of the doldrums in this pivotal divisional tilt.
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1. After a four-game absence, What The Puck forward Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta returned with a bang, scoring five goals in the team’s 10-2 victory over Mega Touch last week.\u00a0 He is now the league’s second leading scorer with 17 goals on the season.
\n2. Although it is difficult to tell by just their first names, Unicorns 2009 acquisitions Susanna and Victoria are indeed sisters.\u00a0 Thus, they possess a chemistry on the court that few will ever comprehend.
\n3. With the Mad Dog out of town, Mike “The\u00a0X-Factor” Woodsworth took over the reins of captain for What The Puck last week.\u00a0 Is this a sign of a potential power struggle in the future?
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0Larry will not let his team lose twice to the same opponent.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 They looked very impressive last week, and that was with onlyl half the roster present.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>4 Ventolieris.\u00a0 It would have been 5, but Ant is playing in this game.<\/p>\n

\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 3-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These two Woodsworth Division foes met just a scant three weeks ago in one of the most entertaining games of the season.\u00a0 With the Mathematics leading late in the game, Filthy Gorgeous scored two goals in the final three minutes of regulation–including one with its goalie pulled–to force overtime.\u00a0 Filthy’s star forward Suvin “The Guru” Malik completed the comeback with the game-winner one minute into the extra period.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 2.5 Ventolieris<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels lead 5-1-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> After allowing eight goals to Cobra Kai’s Will Kuhns last week, the Mighty Squirrels’ defense will need to buckle down a little harder for this game.\u00a0 Upon learning of Kuhn’s good fortune, Anklebiters forward Charles DeFranco boasted, “If Will can put up eight, I’ll put up 16!”
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels. Mungo save.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Gouging Anklebiters.\u00a0 If Chuck puts up 16, how can they lose?

\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 3-1
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>In this 2007 championship rematch, the third place Dark Rainbows and fourth place Corlears Hookers will renew one of BTSH’s burgeoning rivalries.\u00a0 When these teams last met, the Corlears Hookers bounced the Dark Rainbows from the 2008 playoffs, obliterating them 8-0 in the quarterfinals.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 It seems like they have the Rainbows’ number of late.

\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. leads 7-3
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Due to “rain fears”, both of these\u00a0Schloeder Division squads received an unscheduled bye last week.\u00a0 This time off could prove detrimental for both teams, as the Sky Fighters are coming off their biggest win of the season (a 5-1 defeat of the Rainbows), while LBS, Inc. is in the midst of a seven-game winning streak.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 4 Ventolieris.\u00a0 Both teams are at the top of their game right now.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 8-3
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> With little notable history between Mega Touch and the Demons to discuss, we instead bring you this clip<\/a> from Demons sensation Abby Meisterman’s favorite movie, Summer School<\/em>.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 1.5 Ventolieris.\u00a0 We recommend watching the rest of Summer School<\/em> instead.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 4-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Cobra Kai’s only win in this series came in 2007 when Squirrels’ goalie Rob “Mungo” Gorden filled in for the Dojo and pitched a shutout.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs.\u00a0 I’d wager dollars to donuts that Will Kuhns doesn’t score eight goals\u00a0this week.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs…unless Cobra Kai can get a hold of Mungo again.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 2 Ventolieris<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Fresh Kills leads 9-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Mexican Standoff may have finally turned its season around, as the perennial underdog has now tallied seven goals in each of its last two games.\u00a0 In this two-game span, team scoring leader Ben has accounted for seven of his team’s goals.\u00a0 Conversely, Fresh Kills has slumped of late, losing its last three games, including two by shutout.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills.\u00a0 The defending champs could really use a win.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 2.5 Ventolieris<\/p>\n
