Rehabs at Fresh Kills<\/b>
\nNarrative: Rematch of last year\u2019s explosive PBR Cup Final. <\/span>
\nPrediction: Rehabs unveil their new weapon (Hicks) and hand FK their first regulation loss since September 18, 2016, 4-3.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Awwww, come back to us Gabe and Ariel. We were only kidding.<\/p><\/div>\n

Denim Demons at Cobra Kai<\/b>
\nNarrative: Welcoming the Demons to the Katz Division are the wily Cobra Kai. \u00a0Brad is one of the league\u2019s best two-way defenseman, but Liam lead that trend back in 2016. <\/span>
\nPrediction: A nail biter that goes into OT with Zach 2.0 (Demons\u2019 shiny new toy) showing his worth by getting his team the W, 3-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poutine Machine at Gremlins<\/b>
\nNarrative: Two teams with completely different styles of play face off in the first of two meetings this season. \u00a0Poutine said bombyoyage to Adam and Teddy and filled their positions with meh talent. While the Gremlins are still trying to woo the talents of Sean who is caught in a three team battle for his services. \u00a0(Ed. note: As my younger doppleganger, you know your destiny is Karma.) <\/span>
\nPrediction: From the drop this one has the intensity of a playoff game, but in the end Jamie steals a W for his under-performing Gremmies, 3-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Butchers at Filthier<\/b>
\nNarrative: Two of the cleanest teams in the league that also possess some of the finest talent too. \u00a0Georgine and her Butchers get their first taste of life in the Soko Division. <\/span>
\nPrediction: Brady and Cheeky quickly discover they aren\u2019t in the Katz Division anymore and Filthy\u2019s title campaign starts off strong, 5-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

‘A vote for him is a vote for Herr’ was an ingenious campaign slogan.<\/p><\/div>\n

LBS, Inc. at Mathematics<\/b>
\nNarrative: A potential playoff final four preview of two teams that didn\u2019t do much in the offseason, but they also didn\u2019t need to.<\/span>
\nPrediction: The resilient Math find a way to tie the game up late, but Avery and Klion are the heroes in OT, 5-4.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gouging Anklebiters at Sky Fighters<\/b>
\nNarrative: The new look Sky Fighters clash against the old-school Biters. \u00a0Caroline was active at the Free Agent Scrimmage and the latest scuttlebut is that Biters are bringing on a ringer. \u00a0<\/span>
\nPrediction: Tough sledding for the Sky Fighters as they have difficulty finding a rhythm and the Biters chemistry easily wins them the game, 4-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fuzz at Corlear\u2019s Hookers<\/b>
\nNarrative: Trying to climb their way back into BTSH elite, the Hookers face off against a stocked Fuzz team now equipped with the unstoppable force of Mike T.<\/span>
\nPrediction: The Hookers are quickly reminded how the Fuzz ran over the league in 2016 as they get pancaked, 5-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Rainbows played through 18 games of some of the most foul smelling filth last year. Wonder how they’ll smell on the other side in this one.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mega Touch at Dark Rainbows<\/b>
\nNarrative: A true BTSH match-up of some of the media\u2019s favorite teams. \u00a0Tuckman and Mega are back in a familiar place and Tia and her Rainbows begin their redemption tour. \u00a0<\/span>
\nPrediction: Mega goes merrily skipping back into the Michaliga Division and into the L column as the Rainbows pull off their best UMBC impression, 9-6.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instant Karma at What the Puck<\/b>
\nWritten by JW<\/span><\/i>
\nNarrative: <\/span>Karma added some new rookies, including some firepower. As for What The Puck…do they still have an insanely huge roster? I actually don’t know. Does Corey W even still live in New York? I miss that guy<\/span>.<\/span>
\nPrediction: <\/span>Emily’s Facebook polls kept us entertained all winter long, but Karma will have the last laugh here as they take this one 4-2. Also, Chadwick injures his back. (That last part was incredibly easy to predict.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

There are so many memories here that we can’t remember.<\/p><\/div>\n

Gut Rot at Tompkins Square Riots<\/b>
\nNarrative: This is shaping up to be a challenging year for Gut Rot. \u00a0First they receive news of Taco Chulo closing, find out about the agave shortage and now their season kicks off with a rematch of last year\u2019s playoff match-up. \u00a0<\/span>
\nPrediction: That Riots defender, Kevin Z., can move the ball and will pump up the tempo and his team in the W column, 4-2.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
