\nDark Rainbows\u00a0(7-2) vs. Unicorns (4-5)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows lead 4-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This game represents the second leg in the battle for the prestigious Fairy Tale Cup.\u00a0 In the first leg, the Dark Rainbows soundly defeated the Happy Little Elves 4-0.\u00a0 Thus, with the Rainbows currently in possession of the (imaginary) trophy, they only need a tie to keep it.\u00a0 However, this will be no easy task, as the Rainbows’ star goalie, Trevor “White Jesus” Tyrrell is still sidelined with a shoulder injury.\u00a0 In addition, the Unicorns are coming off of one of their best efforts of the season, a 6-1 defeat of the Bad Touch.\u00a0 Although the Unicorns are hovering around a .500 record, a win over the defending league champions could prove that they are for real.
\nKeys to the Game:<\/strong>
\n1. The Dark Rainbows have used two different backup goalies thus far: Sean Reynolds and John Nielsen.\u00a0 Depending on whom they choose, they will lose either one of the league’s top defenders in Reynolds or top scorers in Nielsen.
\n2. Although the Unicorns boast an extremely balanced scoring attack, Nelson<\/a> currently leads the team with six goals, which includes a hat trick last week.
\n3. An unconfirmed source is reporting that Unicorns goalie Craig “Ug” LaCombe’s herpes has flared up again.\u00a0 Whether this clears up by Sunday’s game and how much it will affect his play remain to be seen.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 The cup stays with them for another year.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns.\u00a0 Another week without White Jesus is too much for the Rainbows to overcome.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels lead 3-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels captain Rachel “A-Korn” Greene and Cobra Kai captain Peter Oblamski were busy in the offseason.\u00a0 With both captains recruiting a new goalie for their respective teams, the Squirrels and the Dojo are shells of their former selves.\u00a0 Greene has the Squirrels undefeated, while Oblamski has Cobra Kai on pace for their best season yet.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels.\u00a0 This is one of the most underappreciated rivalries in BTSH.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Mighty Squirrels<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears South, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 1-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These two teams have a very intertwined history, as Corlears stars Albert “Al” Huang, Brendan “Dutch” Kearney, and Gavin “Dutch’s Brother” Kearney are all former Tuques.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> What The Puck leads 6-5-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> After a slow start, Fresh Kills rides a three game winning streak into this game.\u00a0 Conversely,\u00a0What The Puck has sputtered after an extremely hot start, losing their last three.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 I just can’t see them losing four straight.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 They still have the components of a chamionship-caliber squad.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Although this is just their first matchup, tensions between the Happy Little Elves and Filthy Gorgeous are already simmering.\u00a0 The feud began in week 6, when\u00a0an anonymous member of Filthy Gorgeous pulicly criticized\u00a0the Elves’ new jerseys\u00a0by saying, “That\u2019s the same color we had in 2006.\u00a0 Then we realized it was really ugly.\u201d\u00a0 Obviously, Filthy Gorgeous will not be wearing their throwback uniforms for the game.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 The Elves’ ship sinks even deeper without it’s Barnacle.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears South, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 3-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Due to “rain fears”, this will be the Demons’ first game in three weeks.\u00a0 Will they be rested or rusty?
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons.\u00a0 Rested.<\/p>\n
