\n<\/strong>Fresh Kills (8-4-0-2) at Tompkins Square Riots (7-6-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Division leaders collide this Sunday as former teammates clash for the first time.\u00a0 Fresh Kills currently holds a four point lead in the Donohue Division, despite losing three of its past four games.\u00a0 The Tompkins Square Riots sit just one point ahead of the Mathematics in the MacNeil Division and snapped a three-game losing streak in their last contest with a convincing 7-2 win against Cobra Kai.\u00a0 However, this game’s allure extends way beyond the standings. Several members of the Riots once proudly wore the Fresh Kills colors, but defected to form their own team this past offseason.\u00a0 Although tensions were initially a little high following this schism, relations between these two teams are much more cordial now.\u00a0 For example, Bob “Olmec” Weyersberg of the Riots recently gave Fresh Kills rookie Justin Ross a free lesson on shooting techniques.\u00a0 In return, Fresh Kills’ Nick Hobbs helped Scott Townsend of the Riots glue a new blade into his hockey stick.\u00a0 Former Fresh Kills captain Kevin “The Planet” Foster summarizes, “There is no animosity.\u00a0 We’re all just sensitive people.”
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1. With two games to play, Fresh Kills needs to earn just one more point in the standings to clinch the Donohue Division and #3 seed in the playoffs.\u00a0 Or, the team can also back into the division title if Cobra Kai loses either of its last two games.
\n2. Alexandre Frenette leads the Riots, and also the entire Schumacher Conference, with 11 goals.\u00a0 His scoring has come in bunches, as he has recorded three multi-goal games, including two hat tricks.
\n3.\u00a0 No one is quite sure when it happened, but something has been wrong with Justin Ross’ shooting technique lately.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Fresh Kills.\u00a0 If they clinch the division here, they avoid a potential winner-take-all game with Cobra Kai next Sunday.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Fresh Kills.\u00a0 They’re supposedly the more competitive ones…
\nWatchability:<\/strong>4 DeBlasios.\u00a0 Former Fresh Kills captain “Hollywood” Jeff Lesser has no idea whom to root for, as he has friends on both teams.\u00a0 However, this may be a moot point, as he will probably be hanging out with A-listers while these teams play anyway.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 12:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> What The Puck leads 10-5
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These two teams last met in the quarterfinals of the 2009 playoffs, where What The Puck knocked off the Rehabs 2-1.\u00a0 Ollie Hartman provided the heroics with a game-winning goal that broke a 1-1 tie with five minutes remaining in regulation. Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta also scored for What The Puck, while Chantel Arroyo scored for the Rehabs.\u00a0 However, none of these three players is expected to compete on Sunday.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>What The Puck.\u00a0 I question how many Rehabs can make the noon start.\u00a0 I’m looking at you, Anita and Skuse.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>4 DeBlasios<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Mathematics lead 3-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Despite winning its last four games, La Famiglia has not played since August 8.\u00a0 The Mathematics had a five-game winning streak snapped in their last game at the hands of What The Puck.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3 DeBlasios.\u00a0 Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens will NOT be playing in goal for the Mathematics, so this will not be a repeat of last season’s debacle.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Unicorns lead 6-4-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Unicorns snapped a five-game losing streak with a surprising 4-0 victory over Filthy Gorgeous in their last game.\u00a0 The Gouging Anklebiters did not play that Saturday, with captain Phil “Sandy” Donohue citing religious beliefs.\u00a0 When league manager Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta prodded Donohue for an explanation, he responded, “Saturday, Adriano, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don’t work, I don’t drive a car, I don’t fucking ride in a car, I don’t handle money, I don’t turn on the oven, and I sure as shit don’t fucking play ball hockey!”
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns.\u00a0 The Gouging Anklebiters, especially Sarah Moore, may be looking ahead to their 5:30 game with La Famiglia.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Gouging Anklebiters.\u00a0 Fact: 11% of America is now gay for Alex Derhohannesian.

\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 4-4
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These Hackett Division rivals met in Week 6, when the Sky Fighters bested the Dark Rainbows 3-2 in overtime.\u00a0 Greg “Mr. August” Cohan provided all three of the Sky Fighters’ goals in that victory.\u00a0 The defending champions must defeat the division-leading Rainbows in order to maintain any hopes of capturing the division and #2 seed in the playoffs.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 Sky Fighters captain Dan Hopper has confirmed that Cohan is out for the season with an unspecified lower body injury.

\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Butchers lead 1-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>These Donohue Division foes last met in Week 12, when All-Star goalie Eric Ramirez and the Butchers blanked the Dojo 6-0.\u00a0 Ben Bloom and “The Charismatic Enigma” Arthur Revechkis each notched two goals in the win.\u00a0 However, both teams enter this matchup off of tough losses to division leaders, as the Butchers lost to the Denim Demons 5-1, while Cobra Kai was defeated by the Tompkins Square Riots 7-2.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Butchers.\u00a0 Like the Riots, the Butchers also wear maroon.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Butchers
\nWatchability: <\/strong>3 DeBlasios<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>In what can only be described as a happy coincidence, this game takes place just two days after the four-year anniversary of Mexican Standoff’s infamous “Beach Day”, when the team no-showed for a game against LBS.\u00a0 While both teams have undergone a name change since that balmy late summer day, the Corporation still harbors a lingering grudge.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> LBS, Inc.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>LBS, Inc.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>2 DeBlasios.\u00a0 Sunday’s forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 77 degrees…which is perfect beach weather.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 3-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>Mega Touch enters this inter-conference matchup on a three-game winning streak, including a 3-2 overtime shocker against Donohue Division-leading Fresh Kills in its last game.\u00a0 However, the Corlears Hookers have yet to lose to a MacNeil Division opponent.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 Despite losing the offensive force of Noelle “Slapshot” Safar’s slapshot, they should have enough firepower to prevail.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>No pick.\u00a0 Derek will be reffing this game.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>2.5 DeBlasios<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> This game was put in the schedule specifically to fuel the flames of the heated rivalry between Poutine Machine captain Patrick “Sven” Larsen and Filthy Gorgeous captain Monica Russo.\u00a0 Upon further review, we are not sure if this even qualifies as a row, let alone a feud, since the two will be married in October.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> No pick.\u00a0 Eli will be reffing this game.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 Congratulations to the happy couple.

\nDenim Demons (13-1) at Happy Little Elves (7-4-0-3)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 2-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Snack food edition: The Demons are a party size bag of Doritos. You open it on Friday night and settle down with 5 episodes of The Wire<\/em> from Netflix. By 2 am, your fingers are stained orange, along with your phone from the texts you sent blowing off 3 parties and the couch from where you only wiped off some of the nacho cheese dust. You have a raging headache and feel nauseous, and you’re pissed because in 5 episodes, Omar Little was only in one for maybe 10 minutes.\u00a0 The Elves are a cellophane snack pack of those skinny little pretzels from the vending machine. You think there’s no way that little box will do anything for you. But 20 minutes later, you’re tired of eating them, sort of full, and there’s still a third of it left.
\nVegas Line:<\/strong> Demons by 3.5
\nJesse the Greek says:<\/strong> Take the Elves and the points. What sport is this again?

\nGouging Anklebiters (5-8) at La Famiglia (6-7)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Gouging Anklebiters lead 11-4
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>The Anklebiters are a 3-pack of Hostess Ho-Hos, greatly beloved by stoners and mistfits.\u00a0 La Famiglia is a can of Pringles. Plain. Big game for both, with big playoff bye week implications.
\nVegas Line:<\/strong> Famiglia by 1.5
\nJesse the Greek says:<\/strong> Lay the points. Famigilia is red hot.
