GAME OF THE WEEK<\/strong>
\nFilthy Gorgeous (4-2) vs. LBS (5-2)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 5:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 2-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous enters this weekend on a four-game winning streak, with their most impressive victory coming last Sunday.\u00a0 Despite giving up a game-tying goal to the Denim Demons\u00a0with just thirty seconds left in regulation, Filthy Gorgeous persevered and prevailed in the shootout on goals from two of their stars: Suvin “The Guru” Malik and James Pereira.\u00a0 After a two-game losing streak, LBS has responded by winning their last two games, including a hard fought victory against the Mathematics, when they were short a few players in the heat.\u00a0 Despite playing only a few games together so far, Ken “The Alpha Male” Poulin and Karsten Pichon are still one of the most formidable scoring tandems in BTSH.\u00a0 While these two teams may not get as much press as some of the flashier teams in the league, they are still just as talented.
\nKeys to the Game:<\/strong>
\n1. This\u00a0will be the second game of the day for Filthy Gorgeous, with the first being a very grueling matchup against the Rehabs.\u00a0 Will a two-hour break between games be enough to re-energize them?
\n2. Brian “Grandmaster B” Barrett of LBS\u00a0had his first multi-goal game of the season last week.\u00a0 He claims it was because he gave up drinking beer the entire week.\u00a0 Filthy might want to buy him a cold one before the game.
\n3.\u00a0Filthy Gorgeous might have a goalie controversy on their hands as Liza Watts was the winning goalie of the Women’s All-Star Game.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS.\u00a0 I was very impressed with their performance last week.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 I expect big things from Filthy’s most prominent player, Paul “Ashy Larry” Vernon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rehabs (4-1-1) vs. Filthy Gorgeous (4-2)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 3-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>This game was originally scheduled to take place\u00a0during the torrential downpours of\u00a0May 18, but was postponed for unrelated reasons before gameday.\u00a0\u00a0So it would seem\u00a0Monica Russo and\u00a0Bryan “Stork” Welch are\u00a0two of the smartest captains in the league…or just really lucky.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Rehabs.\u00a0\u00a0Their big win against What The Puck has once again made me a believer.<\/p>\n

Denim Demons\u00a0(5-0-1-1) vs. Tuques (2-5)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 6-0
\nGame Notes:\u00a0<\/strong>Since\u00a0“Hacksaw” Jim Dandeneau failed his physical with the Mathematics, the potential trade agreed to earlier in the week has collapsed.\u00a0 Demons captain Adam “Legen(d) Killer” Rubens is despondent and thirsty.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons<\/p>\n

Gouging Anklebiters (0-7) vs. Happy Little Elves\u00a0(1-5-1)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears South, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Okay, we get it.\u00a0 The Anklebiters are slow starters.\u00a0 You guys can turn it around any time now…
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Gouging Anklebiters.\u00a0 I’m just going to assume all of their ice hockey players will show up.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Happy Little Elves<\/p>\n

What The Puck (6-1) vs. Dark Rainbows\u00a0(6-1)
\nLocation:<\/strong>\u00a0Moffo, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 4-4
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Dark Rainbows have allowed only six goals all season, including shutouts in their last three games.\u00a0 What The Puck leads the league in team goals with thirty-four.\u00a0 This battle of the past two BTSH champions should be a classic.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 Trevor “White Jesus” Tyrrell is playing like he did in the 2007 playoffs.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>What The Puck.\u00a0 Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer is coaching like he did in the 2006 playoffs.<\/p>\n

Mighty Squirrels\u00a0(5-0-2) vs. Mexican Standoff (1-5-1)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mexican Standoff leads 3-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Both of these teams can be abbreviated with the letters, M<\/em> and S<\/em>.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Mighty Squirrels…wait, Tim “(S)crappy” Gray is still out with a back injury, right?
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Migthy Squirrels<\/p>\n

Rehabs\u00a0(4-1-1) vs. Cobra Kai (3-3-1)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears South, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 2-1
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>This matchup features two of the hottest teams in the league, as the Rehabs enter this weekend on a four-game winning streak, and Cobra Kai has won three in a row.\u00a0 Although this will be the Rehabs’ second game\u00a0of the day, this contest\u00a0will be a true litmus test for Cobra Kai.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs.\u00a0 Cobra Kai shut them out last year, so they’ll be looking for revenge.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Cobra Kai.\u00a0 Adriano Bratta is unstoppable right now, and a tired Rehabs defense will struggle to hold him in check.<\/p>\n

Corlears Hookers (5-1) vs. Unicorns (3-4)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 1-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers captain Peter “Purple Rain” Putka would like to commend the Unicorns for agreeing to play this game, even after the Hookers beat Mexican Standoff via the mercy rule.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers<\/p>\n

Mathematics (2-5) vs. Fresh Kills (2-4-0-1)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 5:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 1-1
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>All the talk leading into this matchup has been coming from Fresh Kills, as Dave Sokolyansky has promised to moon the Mathematics bench if he scores a goal, and\u00a0Bob “Olmec” Weyersberg has put out a bounty on Eli (good use of league funds, Bob).<\/p>\n

Bad Touch (0-6-1) vs. Sky Fighters (3-3)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 6:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Bad Touch leads 5-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> With four games at Moffo preceding this one, BTSH may see it’s first night game of the season.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters<\/p>\n
