After nearly a decade or so long break, the three stars of the week are back. A couple of notes: In 2014, a star player scored four goals. I did not give him the first star. The team thought this was worse than Pearl Harbor, 9\/11 and when Rachel forced Ross to take an unwanted break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in other words, if your star player scores 3 goals, they\u2019re prob not getting a star. But if Elly from the Vertz scores a goal or happens to open his eyes for a photo, he probably will. Because he\u2019s not good at hockey, and he\u2019s somehow worse at posing for pictures. (But congrats on Baby Jack! You\u2019re already a great Dad)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also will rarely give a star to my own team, unless they really deserve it. With that said, on to this week\u2019s heroes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Did someone say Hero??)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third Star<\/strong>: Nate Morgan, Filthier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now I have no idea if this is the Nate Morgan that scored the hat trick but I googled Nate Morgan hockey hat trick Filthier and this came up. But so did this picture so my confidence level isn\u2019t so high this is the right guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Either way, it was a great win for Filthier, and great job by Nate in his first career BTSH game (I think).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Star<\/strong>: The Dark Rainbows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in my Fourth Division preview , I said I was buying the hype and the Riots would win the Fourth Division. I also called the Rainbows losers. Well the only loser in Week 1 was my prediction, as the Rainbows made a statement, dusting the Riots 5-2. Nick, Akhil, and star Free Agent Alex H. each contributed a goal and an assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also, to be fair I didn\u2019t say the Rainbows were losers in hockey. I was specifically talking about their Survivor 49 pool which me and my niece Andie won. In case anyone is interested, here are the standings in the Survivor 50 Rainbow pool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Star: Jordan Flavell-Boney, Fuzz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Fuzz added one of Alexa\u2019s best friends, Jordan. Jordan had never played hockey before and played 2-3 games before she was injured playing softball. She came to every game after her injury so she could root on her team and qualify for the playoffs. Jordan is a fantastic softball player, tremendous athlete, but never played hockey before last year. In a tight 3-3 game with 7 or so minutes left, she corralled a rebound on a shot from Annabel, and instead of shooting into Ridzik\u2019s body, she deked onto her backhand and put it into the empty net. Her first career goal was a game winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, Joe M. had four goals, but to quote the Soup Nazi, no star for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
