\nGut Rot (4-6-0-1) at Mathematics (4-5-0-2)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Two teams within striking distance of the MacNeil Division crown face off for the only time this season.\u00a0 Prior to last week’s tough loss against the Denim Demons, Gut Rot had won three games in a row.\u00a0 Included in\u00a0this stretch were an overtime triumph against the defending champion Sky Fighters and a gratifying shootout victory over the Butchers (and many of their former teammates).\u00a0 The team is now third in the division, four points behind the first place Tompkins Square Riots.\u00a0 The Mathematics sit in second place, just three points behind the Riots.\u00a0 They\u00a0have won\u00a0their last three games, including\u00a0last Sunday’s\u00a04-2\u00a0victory over the Unicorns, their\u00a0most notable of the season.\u00a0 They have also tallied 13 goals during this streak, which is more than half of their season total.\u00a0 With Gut Rot and the Mathematics finally out of the cellar of the MacNeil Division, neither will want to relinquish its momentum.
\n<\/strong><\/strong>Keys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1. Although much of the media’s attention has been on Fresh Kills rookie goaltender Patrick Barch, Gut Rot’s rookie between the pipes, Bill, has also had a very solid season.\u00a0 He has been a consistent backbone as the defense continues to build its chemistry following the offseason departures.
\n2. Mathematics defender Andy Pratt finally had his “Andy Pratt Game” last weekend, scoring three times against the Unicorns.\u00a0 His presence on the point also generates numerous scoring chances for his teammates.
\n3. Vicky of Gut Rot and the Mathematics’ Ali Corsi have been friends since attending the same high school.\u00a0 Much like Diana Hart, who was forced to watch her husband the British Bulldog and brother Bret “The Hitman” Hart wrestle each other\u00a0during Summerslam ’92, Vicky’s sister Susannah Pasquantonio is torn between her allegiance to her sister and her good friend.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3.5 Gilligans.\u00a0 Mathematics\u00a0spirit captain\u00a0Laura is super excited and “can’t wait” for this game.<\/p>\n
\nMega Touch (2-8-1) at Tompkins Square Riots (6-4-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 0-0-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These MacNeil Division foes last met in Week 10 when they battled to a 3-3 tie.\u00a0 A Riots regulation win in this game would eliminate Mega Touch from contention for the division title.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Tompkins Square Riots
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Tompkins Square Riots.\u00a0 Mega Touch didn’t look great in last week’s loss to the Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 Of course, Alex “Coop” Eben Meyer wasn’t there, so that could account for it.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3 Gilligans<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 9-6-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Due to the rescheduling of September 12 games to\u00a0August 8, these Hackett Division teams will now play each other on consecutive weeks.\u00a0 Both teams have floundered\u00a0recently with the Rehabs allowing 21 goals in their last three games, and the Unicorns losing six of their past seven contests.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns.\u00a0 Goalie Craig “Ug” LaCombe should be inspired by his new Fumanchu.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs.\u00a0 Can Adam Skuse even grow facial hair?
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3.5 Gilligans<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Fresh Kills leads 9-3
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Fresh Kills opened the season with a convincing 6-0 victory over their Donohue Division mates, the Gouging Anklebiters.\u00a0 Justin Ross led a fairly balanced scoring attack with two goals, and goaltender Patrick Barch recorded his first shutout of the season.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> No pick.\u00a0 Eli will be reffing this game.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills.\u00a0 I see no reason for this game to go too differently from their contest on opening day.

\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> What The Puck leads 4-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> What The Puck has not played a game since June 27, and with\u00a0several key components to Larry’s Orange Juggernaut already listed as “out” for this Sunday’s\u00a0game, it seems\u00a0plausible that the Mad Dog will yet again struggle to field a team.\u00a0 Of course, this could be music to Cobra Kai’s ears, as they are still licking their wounds after last week’s 6-0 loss to the Butchers.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 This is, of course, contingent on them actually showing up.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> No contest
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 2.5 Gilligans<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>The Butchers are flying high after posting consecutive shutout wins against Cobra Kai and Mega Touch.\u00a0 In addition, their offense has finally woken up with 13 goals in these two games, which is just two fewer than they scored\u00a0the rest of the season.\u00a0 La Famiglia has also won two in a row.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> La Famiglia.\u00a0 They seem to be coming together in recent weeks, almost like a family.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Butchers.\u00a0 It doesn’t seem like anyone can slow down their momentum.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>3.5 Gilligans<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows lead 4-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>By virtue of their 9-0 win over Mega Touch last week, the Dark Rainbows leapfrogged into first place in the Hackett Division.\u00a0 One of the teams the Rainbows passed in the standings was the Sky Fighters, who blew a 3-0 lead to Filthy Gorgeous last Sunday.\u00a0 The win was Filthy’s fourth in a row.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 Despite not leading their division, they have the second best record in BTSH.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 John Nielsen’s back, and Filthy’s gonna be in trouble.\u00a0 Hey la, hey la.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 4.5 Gilligans<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Since their inception, the Corlears Hookers have adopted the Montreal Canadiens’ logo (with a different color scheme) as their own.\u00a0 Similarly, Poutine Machine has modeled their logo after another NHL team, the Quebec Nordiques.\u00a0 While the Battle of Quebec was one of the NHL’s best rivalries in the 1980s, this will be the first meeting between these BTSH squads.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 2 Gilligans.\u00a0 Hopefully, the game will not end up like this<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nDenim Demons (10-1) at Sky Fighters (6-4-0-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 5-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This Sunday marks the annual Denim Demons Family Day.\u00a0 Although it may seem odd to schedule this event on the road against the defending champions, there is a method to Demons captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens’ madness.\u00a0 BTSH teams do not often get a lot of outside fans, and Rubens decided the extra support would be helpful against such a daunting opponent.\u00a0 Additionally, he felt the Demons’ families deserved to see a high-caliber matchup at a national telecast of\u00a0Hockey Night in Tompkins.
\nEli’s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons
\nDerek’s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 4 Gilligans.\u00a0 This game will probably have more fans than What The Puck has players.<\/p>\n
\nHappy Little Elves (5-3-0-3) at LBS, Inc. (4-6-0-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. leads 2-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> It’s not often that two people\u00a0really connect in BTSH.\u00a0 Sure, there are a handful of people who hookup during late-night, drunken revelry at EVT, and even a few who go on to wed.\u00a0 However, it’s a rarity for one to find his true platonic soul mate.\u00a0 Nevertheless, such is the case with BFFs\u00a0Rich Glanzer of the Elves\u00a0and Karsten Pichon of LBS, Inc.\u00a0 After starting out as bitter rivals, the two have since\u00a0found common ground between themselves and have swapped numerous beers and\u00a0stories with each\u00a0other over the past year.\u00a0 This is a\u00a0friendship that\u00a0goes far beyond the realms of any beer league.\u00a0 Glanzer and Pichon complete each other.
\nEli’s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.\u00a0 For Pichon, this game isn’t personal, it’s just business.
\nDerek’s Pick:<\/strong> No pick. \u00a0Derek will be reffing this game.
