\nHOCKEY NIGHT IN TOMPKINS (National Telecast)<\/strong>
\nMathematics (0-0-0-1) at Rehabs (1-0)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 3-0-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Due to a flurry of offseason player movement between the Mathematics and Rehabs, this once friendly rivalry has become a lot more intense.\u00a0 The Mathematics struck\u00a0the\u00a0first blow\u00a0with the additions of league sideshow\u00a0Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez and Sean “$howJu” McClain.\u00a0 While both served as key components of the Rehabs’ offensive attack last season, the Mathematics targeted Melendez for his goaltending skills and their own amusement.\u00a0 In retaliation for these acquisitions, the Rehabs added former Mathematic Anita Khar to their roster.\u00a0 Although Khar’s ice hockey background makes her one of the top female players in the league, the Rehabs may have added her to fill the\u00a0tomfoolery void left by $howT!m3 and $howJu’s departures.
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1.\u00a0 Despite losing their opener to Poutine Machine in a shootout, the Mathematics controlled the majority of play throughout the game.\u00a0 They will need to maintain this control to beat the explosive Rehabs.
\n2. While the Rehabs were victorious in overtime against the Happy Little Elves last week, they blew leads of 2-0 and 3-2.\u00a0 This may play to the Mathematics’ strength, as the team overcame several halftime deficits last season, in addition to one last week.
\n3. This game marks the culmination of a week-long birthday celebration for Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez.\u00a0 Other events include a flip-cup tournament, a pi\u00f1ata, and an ice cream social.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>4.5 $howJus.\u00a0 The personalities on both sides of the ball should make this a very exciting game.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 3-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This game will mark the start of a grueling five-game road trip for the Happy Little Elves.\u00a0 With such an unpleasant idiosyncrasy in the schedule, one has to wonder whether this was intentionally done.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Corlears Hookers
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Derek will be reffing this game, but Rich Glanzer still wanted a pick.\u00a0 So, Corlears Hookers.

\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 5-5
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> What The Puck avenged its championship game loss with a sound defeat of the Sky Fighters last week.\u00a0 The team will look to stay hot against the Dark Rainbows, who could not manage a goal against the Unicorns and Craig “Ug” LaCombe.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 When everyone shows up, they’re still the most talented team in the league.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck

\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 8-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> With La Famiglia captain Dave Ladanyi already hinting that he may cancel this game due to “rain fears”, Demons captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens has rented a large tent to pitch over the entirety of Tompkins Square Park.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> No pick.\u00a0 Eli will be reffing this game.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons.\u00a0 They looked extremely sharp last week.

\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 3-2-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.\u00a0is the 400-pound woman in a muumuu pushing a shopping cart piled high with fishsticks and Swiffer refill packs through Gristedes. You act inconspicuous and try to stay out of her way, but next thing you know, she’s eating the organic carrots right out of your basket. You’re really gonna say something? Didn’t think so. Filthy Gorgeous won’t know what hit them. 5-1 LBS.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>4.5 $howJus.\u00a0 Neither team wants to start the season 0-2, with two division losses.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> With Haanwa Chau’s massive investigation into potential Anklebiter hazing violations under way, the team may not be able to focus on its Donohue Division foe, the Butchers.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Gouging Anklebiters.\u00a0 So far, they haven’t been found guilty of anything.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Butchers.\u00a0 There’s a lot of talent here.\u00a0 The team just needs time to gel.

\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Despite a 6-0 victory in last Sunday’s regional telecast of Hockey Night in Tompkins, Fresh Kills captain Dave Sokolyansky was not pleased with his team’s effort.\u00a0 Thus, he scheduled an impromptu 30 minute practice session immediately following the team’s\u00a0win.\u00a0 Should Fresh Kills produce another sub-standard effort this Sunday, at least by Sokolyansky’s tough criteria, the\u00a0team will be forced to practice again.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills.\u00a0 Former captain Kevin “The Planet” Foster would never schedule a post-game practice, because he’s just a sensitive guy.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills.\u00a0 They’ll play hard, as a 6:30 practice is after most of their bedtimes.

\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 5-5-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These two teams last met in the first round of the 2009 playoffs, where the Sky Fighters prevailed in a 1-0 overtime thriller. Greg Infanti’s game-winning goal was assisted by Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka, who was required to play the entire game due to captain Dan Hopper’s brilliantly executed Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka strategy.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3.5 $howJus.\u00a0 The Unicorns stout defense should keep the game close throughout.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Cobra Kai leads 4-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>In order to protect his head from the blazing sun, Cobra Kai forward Will Kuhns donned a female teammate’s pink hat for the second half of last Sunday’s game against La Famiglia, and promptly scored two goals.\u00a0 Since the hat brought him luck, Kuhns has vowed to continue wearing it until Cobra Kai loses.\u00a0 In response, Mega Touch forward Joe Lops, who also scored two goals last Sunday, has promised to wear a\u00a0fez for the duration of this game.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Cobra Kai.\u00a0 Kuhns wears the pink hat for at least another week.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Cobra Kai

\nTompkins Square Riots (1-0) at Poutine Machine (1-0)<\/strong>
\nWritten by Hockey Night in Tompkins Correspondent Jesse Kalb<\/em>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Rumors are swirling that the Riots’ as-yet-unveiled uniforms will be replica NYPD uniforms, with plastic shields, batons, taser guns, and tear gas — an allusion to the events that transformed the park in the early 1990s. Someone even said they will have a horse. Poutine Machine’s desperate attempt to embrace Canadian culture, however, seems forced. Maybe they hope that poutine will be the next big NYC culinary trend (like wrap-and-smoothie shops and Italian tapas). Maybe it’s just Svatrick’s cry for help. Both these teams clearly have talent and are on the way up. Riots in a\u00a0close one. It’s Regional Hockey Night in TSP!
\nWatchability: <\/strong>3 $howJus.\u00a0 At least one of these MacNeil Division rivals will be undefeated after this game.<\/p>\nSurvivor Pool<\/h4>\n
