run of success continued in 2009 with the team collecting 15 wins in the regular season and advancing to the quarterfinals of the playoffs.\u00a0 The team was led by the breakout performances of &#8220;Gentleman&#8221; James Pereira, Sunny Mehra, and Suvin &#8220;The Guru&#8221; Malik, who combined for 58 goals on the season.\u00a0 Filthy finished the year with the league&#8217;s second ranked offense and led BTSH in goal differential.\u00a0 These feats are even more\u00a0impressive considering the team was\u00a0without the services of Paul &#8220;Ashy Larry&#8221;
