\nMighty Squirrels (6-0-3) vs. Filthy Gorgeous (7-2-1)
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 5:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 2-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Both of these teams enter the weekend tied for first place in BTSH, alongside LBS, Inc.\u00a0and What The Puck.\u00a0 Although Filthy Gorgeous boasts the second highest goal total in\u00a0the league\u00a0with forty, they have relied on several different players to account for their scoring.\u00a0 Joseph Pereira currently leads the team with just six goals, while Matt Novick, James Pereira, and Paul “Ashy Larry” Vernon have each contributed five.\u00a0 The Mighty Squirrels’ offense, on the other hand, ranks in the middle of the pack, but their defense is tied for second in goals allowed.\u00a0 Although captain Rachel “A-Korn” Greene’s “back to fundamentals” approach to\u00a0hockey is a large factor in their new found defensive prowess, much of the credit can go to new goaltender Tommy Mayoros, who has allowed only nine goals in eight games.\u00a0 The winners of this game could find themselves in the unexpected position of first place as the break rapidly approaches.
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1.\u00a0Arthur “Lil Weezy” Revechkis now has six of the Mighty Squirrels’ twenty-four goals.\u00a0 With Revechkis accounting for twenty-five percent of the offense, keeping him in check should be a priority for Filthy.
\n2. While Filthy Gorgeous goalie Dan Owens’s goals against average is not as sterling as Mayoros’s, he has been just as effective.\u00a0 He is coming off of his first shutout of the season and has not lost a game since week two.
\n3. Mighty Squirrels superstar defenseman Gary Kowalski has a hearing scheduled with the city of New York on Sunday at 4 PM to discuss seventy-six unpaid parking tickets.\u00a0 Although the meeting is downtown, it is unclear if he will be able to make the game.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 Monica 1, Sven 0.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 Offense beats defense, and the Squirrels suffer their first loss of the season.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Both of these teams\u00a0enter this game on six game losing streaks.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Bad Touch
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Happy Little Elves<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears South, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong>\u00a0Dark Rainbows lead 7-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows goalie Trevor “White Jesus” Tyrrell has been upgraded to questionable for this important game of top teams.\u00a0 In somewhat Bill Belichick-like fashion, Demons captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens has downgraded his entire team to probable.\u00a0 They don’t call him the “Cerebral Assassin” for nothing.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 Captain Sean Reynolds is too crafty to fall for Rubens’s mind games.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons.\u00a0 Trevor probably has one more week of recovery before he can play, and the Rainbows are a different team without him.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. leads 6-4
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This matchup was a close runner-up for the Game of the Week, as the Rehabs sit just a point out of first, and LBS, Inc. is in a four-way tie for first.\u00a0 This battle will also serve as a reunion of sorts for the dissolved Pork Fried Rice, as former members “Con” Ed Lau (Rehabs), Mike “Cupcake” Bartlett (Rehabs), and Brian “Grandmaster B” Barrett (LBS, Inc.) will all play.\u00a0
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs.\u00a0 Captain Bryan “Stork” Welch claims former PFR members Mike Sayre and J.P. Chaput\u00a0will start coming to games soon as well.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs.\u00a0 Welch also claims he may have worked out a deal with former PFR member, Pat Verbeek.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong>\u00a0Fresh Kills leads 9-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Although the series history of this matchup is severely lopsided, the Tuques claimed their first victory over Fresh Kills last season in a shootout.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills.\u00a0 By the way, Kevin “The Planet” Foster is very happy with his new nickname.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Fresh Kills<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears South, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Unicorns lead 8-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Ellery “The Nature Boy” Gillette has now scored two goals in his last three games.\u00a0 Although Ellery has claimed to lead the league in scoring every year, this is the first time anyone has actually seen him put the ball in the net.\u00a0 This may turn out to be one of the top offseason acquisitions…at least, until the Redskins begin their season.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns.\u00a0 Craig “Ug” LaCombe is not going to let Ellery put one past him.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Moffo, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 1-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> As the Corlears Hookers prepare for games against the Mighty Squirrels and Denim Demons in the two weeks preceding the break, they cannot overlook a feisty Cobra Kai team.\u00a0 Although the Dojo enters this game on a three-game losing streak,\u00a0Ski’s squad\u00a0does hold a victory over the Sky Fighters and a tie against the Denim Demons.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Corlears North, 5:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong>\u00a0What The Puck leads 5-4
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Captains Phil “Sandy” Donohue and Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer are both easily recognizable by their curly locks.\u00a0 However, the two have agreed for the this game’s winning captain to shave the losing captain’s head.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck<\/p>\n
