The Round of 16! Puts a tear in your eye doesn\u2019t it – the beginning of the end, really. I\u2019ll get to see my other friends (yes I have other friends). I would say I\u2019ll drink less and go to bed earlier but we\u2019re getting into the holidays, cuffing season, etc. I can definitely say I won\u2019t miss Yetter.<\/p>\n

Remember when I was a 3 stars neophyte asking Isaac if he would give one to a bag of Doritos? Now I have a list of enemies the size of Zac\u2019s latest twitter rant.<\/p>\n

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss your turn at Frey\u2019s wine bag.<\/p>\n

Third Star<\/strong>
\nCraig from Gouging Anklebiters<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

‘Fuck you, Jamie.’<\/p><\/div>\n

Gremlins fought their hearts out but couldn\u2019t overcome the Gouging Anklebiters. Jamie worked his ass off in net, but Craig ended the game with the shut out. This turns out to be especially noteworthy because this was Craig\u2019s first career playoff shutout. Hell yeah dude! (This feels like the bro version of damn gurl and therefore tone deaf in these politically charged times but I\u2019ll give a patented Kavanaugh fake-apology and move the fuck on.)<\/p>\n

Second Star<\/strong>
\nSam N from Mathematics<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sam’s inspiration for the Schlitz cup.<\/p><\/div>\n

This year an alternate trophy was implemented – the Schlitz Cup.<\/p>\n

The teams involved – Riots, Mega, Rainbows, Gut Rot – embody Old School BTSH i.e. before my time but as a Brooklyn hipster I\u2019m thrilled to be labeled Authentic. I\u2019m also looking forward to being rewarded for it with a keg of beer, which is quite literally worth more than a PBR Cup.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t speak for the Gut Rot\/Riots game, but Mega Touch showed up after about 5 hours of straight drinking after their playoff game to compete against the Dark Rainbows, who were straight up ~feelin themselves~ in their new alternate jerseys and had forwards play defense and defense play offense. It was a fucking good time. So thank you Sam for implementing the Schlitz – I have more brain space than necessary devoted to future Schlitz pubs right now and I owe it all to you.<\/p>\n

First Star<\/strong>
\nDerek from Instant Karma and RJ from Poutine Machine<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Poor Zach. He was later found heavily drinking at Doc’s.<\/p><\/div>\n

The game of the day was Poutine vs Karma. There were highs – like Jerome once again confusing football with soccer with hockey and salsa dancing a ball into the net. And there were lows – an impressive amount of shit thrown at the refs, especially Zach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Dude deserves some end of season recognition.<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve set a precedent of giving stars to goalies but I heard from a lot of people that Instant Karma\u2019s Derek put on a spectacular show on Sunday. Overtime was relentless theater with Derek mainly pummeling Poutine\u2019s goalie with shots – and RJ robbing him over and over of a goal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

RJ is the real deal.<\/p><\/div>\n

For playoffs I\u2019ll break precedent and let these talented kiddos share their gold star.<\/p>\n
