#18 Butchers (6-8-0-4) at #1 Denim Demons (14-3)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Denim Demons lead 1-0
\n2010 Result:<\/strong> Week 16 – Denim Demons 5, Butchers 1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> It is no secret that the Butchers enter this quarterfinal matchup against the top seeded Denim Demons as massive underdogs.\u00a0 This Cinderella team already shocked the BTSH world once last Sunday with a stunning 3-2 upset of the Hackett Division champion Rehabs.\u00a0 Team scoring leader Ben Bloom and rookie Arnold Sanchez both tallied a goal in regulation, and “The Charismatic Enigma” Arthur Revechkis clinched the victory with the only successful shootout attempt of the day.\u00a0 Despite a valiant effort by Gut Rot, the Denim Demons blanked the league darlings 2-0 in their round of 16 contest.\u00a0 It was business as usual for the Fightin’ Rubens as league scoring co-champion Zack Tinkelman notched the game-winning goal, and all-star goaltender Aaron “Coach” Pagdon recorded the shutout.\u00a0 In their lone matchup of the season, the Demons cruised to a 5-1 victory over the Butchers, with Mike Pereira scoring twice to lead his team.\u00a0 The Butchers have already publicly identified Pereira as the main Demons player to focus on, but unfortunately, they do not know what he looks like or who he is.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons.\u00a0 Captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens may be injured, but he can still coach.
\n Derek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons.\u00a0 Covering Mike Pereira is a good idea, but there are too many other weapons on this team to ignore.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 4 Marths.\u00a0 Expect a large crowd to cheer for the Butchers…or against the Demons.<\/p>\n

#7 Sky Fighters (10-6-0-1) at #4 Tompkins Square Riots (9-7-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\n2010 Result:<\/strong> Did Not Play
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Sky Fighters enter this quarterfinal matchup on the heels of an extremely tight win against their Hackett Division foes, the Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 Although the Sky Fighters controlled most of the game, the affair remained scoreless for the first 40 minutes.\u00a0 However, the defending champions eventually took a 1-0 lead when mid-season addition Shaz Khan netted the game’s first goal.\u00a0 The Rainbows equalized six minutes later, but fellow Sky Fighters newcomer Dan Lee clinched the 2-1 victory with just three minutes remaining in regulation.\u00a0 With several injured players including Greg “Mr. August” Cohan and Robert Kucera plaguing the Sky Fighters’ roster, Khan and Lee will need to continue to perform at a high level.\u00a0 The Tompkins Square Riots endured an equally tough contest in their round of 16 matchup.\u00a0 Facing a two-goal second half deficit against the stingy Unicorns, the Riots rallied for three unanswered goals, including two in the final three minutes of regulation. \u00a0 The team showcased its immense depth, as three different players tallied a goal, even though team scoring leaders Patrik Blohm\u00e9 and Alexandre Frenette were held off the board.\u00a0 If the Riots want to knock off the defending champions, this duo will need to play a more integral part of this weekend’s game.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters.\u00a0 Even when Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka doesn’t play all 50 minutes, they still find ways to win.
\n Derek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters.\u00a0 Unlike last week, they will have the added benefit of captain Dan Hopper and his extensive knowledge of hockey, Pittsburgh, and pop culture for this game.\u00a0 Only one of these is really applicable though.
