\"Not<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u00a0
\nCobra Kai (1-3-1) vs. Sky Fighters (3-1)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 5:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 1-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> After losing their first three games of the season, Cobra Kai appears to have turned the corner with a tie against the Denim Demons and a win against the Gouging Anklebiters.\u00a0 Newcomer Adriano Bratta leads the Dojo’s offense with seven goals, putting him amongst the league leaders as well.\u00a0 Although the\u00a0Sky Fighters suffered their first loss of the season\u00a0in their last game against Filthy Gorgeous, they have still been a pleasant surprise.\u00a0 Grizzled veteran Martin Cejka also has seven goals to lead the Sky Fighters.\u00a0 Both Bratta and Cejka account for more than fifty percent of their respective team’s overall goals.
\nKeys to the Game:<\/strong>
\n1. The Sky Fighters have not played a game since May 4.\u00a0 They’ll need to shake off the rust early in this one.
\n2. Paul “P.J.” Lopez has been one of the best goalies in BTSH this season.\u00a0 Even in their losses, Cobra Kai has had a fighting chance in all of their games because of him.
\n3. The Sky Fighters are winless since their now infamous bet with the Happy Little Elves.\u00a0 Captain Amy Lott needs to pick a new name for the Elves soon, so her team can–you know–return its focus to hockey.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Sky Fighters.\u00a0 Goalie James Stein has provided the balance that they were lacking in 2007.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Cobra Kai.\u00a0 Forward Greg “Lysol” Altman is one of the most underrated players in the league in playmaking ability, intimidation,\u00a0and (according to himself)\u00a0general good looks.\u00a0 At least two of these qualities will be important in Sunday’s game.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rehabs (2-1-1) vs. Happy Little Elves (1-3-1)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Prior to their extended layoff, the Rehabs had won two games in a row.\u00a0 Can they regain their momentum or will their time off send them on a downward spiral?
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Rehabs
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Rehabs<\/p>\n

Mexican Standoff (1-3-1) vs. Dark Rainbows (4-1)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears South, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows lead 4-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Although the series history between these two teams is skewed in favor of the defending champs, Mexican Standoff\u00a0is looking for their second consecutive\u00a0upset against the Dark Rainbows.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong>\u00a0Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 Adam “Legen(d) Killer” Rubens claims the Dark Rainbows are the model for all other BTSH teams to follow.<\/p>\n

Unicorns (3-2) vs. What The Puck (5-0)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 6-6
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> What The Puck captain Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer was prescient with his guarantee of victory against the Tuques.\u00a0 However, their ranks were thin, which could be problematic with this week’s game at Moffo.\u00a0 The Unicorns did win last week, but still boast the least attractive goalie in BTSH.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 Although, the lack of a guarantee from Mad Dog is disappointing and\u00a0disconcerting.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 However, they could run into problems if only six of them show up again.<\/p>\n

Gouging Anklebiters (0-5) vs. Filthy Gorgeous (2-2)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 3-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Gouging Anklebiters seem to be stuck in quicksand, as they continue to sink deeper and deeper in the standings.\u00a0 Filthy Gorgeous is currently on a two game winning streak this season, and they have\u00a0won the last three matchups\u00a0in this series.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Filthy Gorgeous
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 A classic battle of Ash vs. Sand.<\/p>\n

Bad Touch (0-4-1) vs. Mighty Squirrels (3-0-2)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears South, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels lead 3-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Mighty Squirrels are one win away from equaling their win total from the entire 2007 season.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Mighty Squirrels
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong>\u00a0Mighty Squirrels<\/p>\n

Fresh Kills (1-3-0-1) vs. Corlears Hookers (3-1)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 1-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Despite having their game postponed due to the weather, the Corlears Hookers showed up anyway and kept fresh by scrimmaging against a rag-tag assortment of league members.\u00a0 Fresh Kills is looking to break a three game losing streak.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 Dutch and Dutch’s Brother are due for a breakout game.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Corlears Hookers<\/p>\n

LBS (3-2) vs. Tuques (1-4)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears South, 5:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS leads 7-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Although LBS lost their last game, Ken “The Alpha Male” Poulin returned to the lineup in mid-season form, scoring their only goal.\u00a0 He will have to pick up his goal-scoring pace immensely if he hopes to equal last season’s total of 101.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>LBS.\u00a0 Six goals for The Alpha Male.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>LBS.\u00a0 Seven goals for The Alpha Male.<\/p>\n

Denim Demons (4-0-1) vs. Mathematics (2-3)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 5:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mathematics lead 2-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Although captain Adam “Legen(d) Killer” Rubens\u00a0bleeds Demon red, he has gone on record that he would totally buy and wear a Mathematics t-shirt if given the opportunity.\u00a0 With team funds low, the Mathematics are considering this offer.<\/p>\n
