\nDenim Demons (11-0-2-3) vs. Corlears Hookers (11-3-1-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 12:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 2-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Rubens Division crown will be at stake when these two rivals meet again on Sunday.\u00a0 In their first meeting, the Hookers prevailed in a shootout, but only after the Demons tied the game late in regulation.\u00a0 Since then, the Fightin’ Rubens have continued to come through in the clutch with late, game-saving goals, and as a result, have still not lost a game in regulation.\u00a0 However, despite this tendency for late game heroics,\u00a0they lost their last game to another division rival, the Happy Little Elves, in overtime.\u00a0 The Corlears Hookers have had an extra week to prepare for this crucial matchup, as their most recent game was postponed due\u00a0to tournament commitments.\u00a0 However, in the previous weekend, they played twice, defeating Mexican Standoff and losing to the Sky Fighters.\u00a0 They now sit in third place in the BTSH standings, three points behind the Denim Demons and four points behind What The Puck.\u00a0 With only five regular season games remaining for each of these teams, this contest will go\u00a0a long way in determining the top playoff seeds in BTSH, as well as the inaugural Rubens Division champion.
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1. Despite the importance of this late season battle, the Denim Demons will be without the services of starting goalie, Aaron “Coach” Pagdon.\u00a0\u00a0Both of their backups, Noah Farkas and Zack Tinkelman, are extremely capable, but\u00a0Pagdon’s imposing presence will be missed.
\n2. Although she can never legally\u00a0use it in a sanctioned\u00a0BTSH game, Noelle Safar\u00a0of the Corlears Hookers is notorious for having\u00a0one of the hardest slapshots\u00a0in the league.
\n3. Corlears Hookers forward Jason Eitel is currently second in BTSH with 21 goals, while Demons forward Jeff Kamen is seventh with 14.\u00a0 As the scoring race continues to heat up, it will be a treat to see what each superstar can do for his team.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 Eitel is also gunning for that scoring title.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 They will benefit from having Dustin “Fake Dutch’s Brother” Olson as their goalie for most of their remaining games.

\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 12:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> What The Puck leads 6-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Mexican Standoff will be fired up and looking for revenge against the Orange Juggernaut, after What The Puck\u00a0captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer poached Hannah Stark in the offseason.\u00a0 Unfortunately for Standoff, however,\u00a0the team will not have its\u00a0leading scorer Ben, whom Larry pilfered during the break at Hannah’s recommendation.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck…even though Larry’s offer to send team cancer Ant “Father Time” Ventolieri to Standoff was promptly declined.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 2 Dutch’s Brothers.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows lead 4-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This game will feature two of BTSH’s top scorers in the Dark Rainbows’ John Nielsen and the Tuques’ Denis Miciletto.\u00a0 In an unrelated note, this game will also feature two of the league’s best waterskiers in the Dark Rainbows’ Sean Reynolds and the Tuques’ The Peter Wilson.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 They’re due for a statement game.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3.5 Dutch’s Brothers<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Sky Fighters lead 1-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These teams\u00a0meet for the first time since Week 3 of the 2008 season, when the Sky Fighters were victorious 4-1.\u00a0 Because of this “PBR Bowl” win, the Sky Fighters secured a case of PBR and the right to rename the Elves for a week.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Sky Fighters captain Amy Lott was unable to think of a clean team name, and thus, got the BTSH media censored for the first and only time ever.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters.\u00a0 The media\u00a0are hopeful that we won’t get censored this time.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3.5 Dutch’s Brothers<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 2-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Although attendance issues hindered Filthy Gorgeous in its last game, a loss to first place What The Puck, the team’s offense had been on a tear in the weeks prior.\u00a0 Filthy had scored 25 goals in its previous four games and is now tied for second in overall scoring.\u00a0 The Mighty Squirrels snapped a three game losing streak in their last game with a victory over Mexican Standoff.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3 Dutch’s Brothers.\u00a0 This game was a 3.5 until we found out Ashy Larry won’t be in attendance.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 2-0-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Rehabs enter this tilt having won their last three games, including a shootout thriller against the Tuques in the week before the break.\u00a0 Rob Blandi has led the offesnive attack with four goals during this stretch, while newest Rehab Adam Skuse has chipped in two goals and a shootout winner.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3 Dutch’s Brothers.\u00a0 Fans of Mofo’s Thundercats will be treated to seeing several of their favorite superstars in this game.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Fresh Kills leads 7-3
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>The defending champions may have finally righted the ship, as\u00a0Fresh Kills\u00a0has shutout Mega Touch\u00a0and ended LBS, Inc.’s eight game winning streak in its last two contests.\u00a0 The Gouging Anklebiters have lost their last two games but are encouraged by the recent play of rookie Alex Derhohannesian, who has five goals in the team’s last three games.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Gouging Anklebiters
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills.\u00a0 Has Fresh Kills started another late season run?
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 4 Dutch’s Brothers<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Unicorns lead 9-3
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Mega Touch’s own Alex “Coop” Eben Meyer, the fastest gunslinger in the West, is looking forward to the chance to shoot another ball “through” Unicorns goalie Craig “Ug” LaCombe’s head.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns.\u00a0 Coop will not<\/em> get that chance.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 2 Dutch’s Brothers<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. leads 2-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Between the Labor Day break and two postponed games, LBS, Inc. has only played twice since July 26.\u00a0 However, members of the Corporation have found ways to fill this free time.\u00a0 Brian “Grandmaster B” Barrett stayed at home to watch a Married With Children…<\/em> marathon on TV Land, while the rest of the team spent the vacation with Mexican Standoff at the beach.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.\u00a0 They’ll be recharged after the time spent at the beach.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 2 Dutch’s Brothers<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 3-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This game was originally scheduled to be played on August 2, but was postponed due to “rain fears.”\u00a0\u00a0As BTSH enters its home stretch of the regular season, only two points separate these teams in the standings, so a win for either could be crucial for playoff seeding.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs.\u00a0 $howT!m3 retires as a winner.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous. With its full roster intact (including Matt Novick), this team will be tough to beat.
