\nDenim Demons (12-1) at LBS, Inc. (6-6-0-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. leads 9-1-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Two of the hottest teams in BTSH collide in this Rubens Division battle.\u00a0 The Denim Demons have won their last 10 games, dating back to their only loss of the season in Week 4.\u00a0 They have allowed the fewest goals in the league due to the stellar play of all-star goalie Aaron “Coach” Pagdon and a nearly impenetrable defense.\u00a0 In addition, the team boasts two of the league’s top 10 scorers in Zack Tinkelman (16) and Mike Pereira (12).\u00a0 LBS, Inc. has also looked impressive in recent weeks.\u00a0 The Corporation has won three games in a row and is back at .500 for the first time since Opening Day.\u00a0 The offense has been en fuego<\/em> over this stretch with 19 goals, bumping the team to a tie for second in scoring.\u00a0 LBS, Inc. also has two players in the league’s top 10 in Karsten Pichon (14) and “The Alpha Male” Ken Poulin (14).\u00a0 With the first game between these divisional opponents canceled due to “rain fears,” both teams will be looking to make a statement in their only meeting of the 2010 season.
\n <\/strong> <\/strong>Keys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1. Depending on the outcome of the Sky Fighters\/Corlears Hookers game at 1:00, the Demons may have the opportunity to clinch the Rubens Division in this game.\u00a0 The chance to win a second straight division title and secure the top seed in the playoffs should provide the Demons with plenty of motivation.
\n2. LBS, Inc. captain Sascha Puritz is clearly well-prepared and excited for the Corporation’s first game of the week of 2010.\u00a0 She noted, “We have hockey on Sunday?\u00a0 I thought it was a bye week.”\u00a0 She continued with several expletives upon learning that her opponent would be the Demons.
\n3. Although the Denim Demons have torn through BTSH this season, they have historically struggled against LBS, Inc.\u00a0 They have won just once in 11 meetings with the Corporation, which includes last season’s 3-2 loss in Week 22.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.\u00a0 The Corporation’s mastery continues.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Denim Demons.\u00a0\u00a0 With the potential to clinch the division title and four players involved in the All-Star Game, this could be a banner day for the Demons.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 4.5 Poulins.\u00a0 Two high-scoring offenses on hot streaks should make for a very exciting contest.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Sky Fighters lead 3-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These two teams last met in the semifinals of the 2009 playoffs, where the Sky Fighters upset the Corlears Hookers 4-2.\u00a0 Robert Kucera’s game-winning goal with 16 minutes remaining in regulation broke a 2-2 tie.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Corlears Hookers
\nWatchability: <\/strong>4 Poulins.\u00a0 Inside sources report that there may be a Dutch sighting at this game.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Mathematics have had this game circled on their calendar since the beginning of the season.\u00a0 With the offseason defections of Jeff “Hawk” Hawkins and Georgine “Mulva” Paulin to the Butchers still fresh on their minds, the Mathematics have placed on bounty on both of their former teammates’ heads.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>3.5 Poulins.\u00a0 The Mathematics do not take kindly to players transferring to another team.\u00a0 Just ask Sarah “T-Bone” Torneten of the Happy Little Elves.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows lead 5-4
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Dark Rainbows currently lead the Hackett Division, but three teams, including the Rehabs, sit just one point back in the standings.\u00a0 With these teams still scheduled to play each other twice in the final four weeks, their series will have a large impact on who wins the division title.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs.\u00a0 Recent acquisition Brock Bosacker seems to have ignited an already hot offense ever further.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>4 Poulins.\u00a0 This game will bear an eerie resemblance to Bret “The Hitman” Hart.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>With the emergence of Gut Rot’s Gilligan as one of the prime defenders of BTSH, team captain Jefferson has orchestrated a new marketing campaign to hype his teammate.\u00a0 He notes that no offensive player can possibly escape “Gilligan’s Island” when being marked by the rookie superstar.\u00a0 Cobra Kai’s Will Kuhns will be the next player stranded on the island.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Cobra Kai.\u00a0 After viewing Gut Rot’s Hard Knocks<\/em> special, Dojo captain Enayet “Retail” Rasul was offended by Jefferson’s rampant use of profanity.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Cobra Kai
\nWatchability:<\/strong>3 Poulins<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 2-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>Two of the league’s top offenses face off in this Weyersberg Conference affair.\u00a0 The Elves rank first in goals scored with 55, while Filthy sits in fourth, with 46.\u00a0 However, Filthy’s offense has slowed in recent weeks, as the team has lost its last two, including a shutout at the hands of the Corlears Hookers two weeks ago.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 Even slower than Filthy’s offense? Elves defender Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>4 Poulins<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> La Famiglia leads 8-5
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>Although both of these Schumacher Conference teams are currently fourth in their respective divisions, La Famiglia and Mega Touch have both shown some grit in recent weeks.\u00a0 La Famiglia has won four games in a row, with three coming against Donohue Division opponents.\u00a0 Their most notable triumph came last week, when Team Ladanyi upset division leader Fresh Kills.\u00a0 Mega Touch has won its last two games, both of which were against MacNeil Division opponents.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> La Famiglia.\u00a0 Mega Touch is winless outside of its division.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>La Famiglia
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 2 Poulins<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> What The Puck leads 8-7
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This matchup pits two teams that have sputtered for much of the summer.\u00a0 The Unicorns have lost five games in a row, sending them to the bottom of the Hackett Division.\u00a0 What The Puck has also lost its last five and has been eliminated from contention for the Rubens Division title.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 Someone has to win this game…unless it ends in a tie.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> No pick.\u00a0 Derek will be reffing this game.

\nTompkins Square Riots (6-6-1) at Gouging Anklebiters (5-8)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>When it comes time for the End of Days, the banking system and electrical grids will collapse, and all society will be reduced to a barter economy. It is then that our worldly possessions that we mindlessly cling to will start to have real value. Until then, however, Anklebiters captain Phil Donohue’s obsession with his plastic Mutant Ninja Turtles placemats will remain as creepy as ever. Hold tight, Phil. Your day is coming.
\nVegas Line:<\/strong> Riots by 1
\nJesse the Greek says:<\/strong> Anklebiters are scuffling, having lost two straight. Riots and give the point.

\nPoutine Machine (4-7-0-1) at Fresh Kills (8-4-0-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>Fresh Kills is the cougar bar of BTSH, lurking in a strip mall on the outskirts of town, with lots of dark corners and a classic rock cover band. Pace yourself during happy hour, or you’ll find yourself doubled over in the parking lot, trying to remember why that 4th round of shots seemed like such a good idea. Poutine Machine made a splash early on, but are fading with 4 straight Ls.
\nVegas Line:<\/strong> Fresh Kills by 1.5
\nJesse the Greek says:<\/strong> Give the points
