Key Losses:<\/strong> Greg Kellerman, William MacGregor<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Mega Touch was one of the best teams in BTSH during the final third of the 2010 regular season.\u00a0 The team won four of its last five games, including wins against Donohue Division champion Fresh Kills and MacNeil Division champion Tompkins Square Riots.\u00a0 However, the good vibes from the closing stretch were quickly extinguished in the opening round of the playoffs, when Mega Touch was shutout by Poutine Machine, 5-0.<\/p>\n
After that loss, Greg Kellerman stepped down from his role as captain in advance of his move to Seattle.\u00a0 During an off-season team function, Kellerman had everyone on the team line up and asked for anyone who wants to be captain to take two steps forward.\u00a0 Newcomer Julie Katz and former captain Eric Devlin were the only two players who did not take multiple steps backward, and were thus awarded the captaincy.\u00a0 Their unenviable task was to improve on a team that Katz described as having “lots of close losses, lots of beards, good defense and goaltending,\u00a0lots of shots on goal but had trouble scoring and finishing,” which minus the beards, is a perfect way to describe the New York Rangers in recent seasons.<\/span><\/p>\nKatz and Devlin’s biggest acquisition of the off-season was Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta.\u00a0 Bratta retired midway through the 2010 season, but Katz was able to coax him out of retirement with the promise of numerous hangout opportunities on Michael Tuckman’s roof and free web services from Alex “Coop” Eben Meyer (Meyer was not informed of this).\u00a0 Katz expects the 2011 season for Mega Touch to yield “<\/span>hopefully more goal scoring, the same amount of drinking, approximately the same amount of people playing in cut off jean shorts, the occasional blow out loss, and an entire offensive line of Italians.”<\/span><\/p>\nEntity They Resemble, According to Rich Glanzer:<\/strong> Lucas<\/em> (from Lucas<\/em> [1986]). While poor, poor Lucas has been picked on since the movie came out, in the end he was cheered by the whole school. Mega has struggled the past three years, but with Adriano Bratta playing for them, expect a new, popular Lucas. However, what wasn\u2019t shown, was nine years later, Lucas blew himself away on the 2nd floor of his upstairs apartment. Expect 2020 to be a very bad year for Mega and Bratta.
