Key Losses:<\/strong> Bryn Starbird<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Butchers finished their inaugural regular season with a 4-8-0-4 record, tied for the fewest wins in BTSH.\u00a0 However, their fortunes turned dramatically during the playoffs.\u00a0 In the opening round, they dispatched of the Mathematics with a 4-0 shutout.\u00a0 The following week, they faced a stiffer challenge in the second-seeded, Hackett Division champion Rehabs.\u00a0 Although the Rehabs defeated the Butchers in the regular season, the Butchers managed to force a shootout where alternate captain “The Charismatic Enigma” Arthur Revechkis scored the lone goal.<\/p>\n
The upset advanced the Butchers to the quarterfinals to face the top-seeded Denim Demons, who had defeated them convincingly in the regular season, 5-1.\u00a0 This time, however, goaltender Eric Ramirez and the Butchers’ defense shut down the Rubens Division champion’s third-ranked offense for a 2-0 win.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the clock finally struck midnight on the Cinderella-like playoff run in the semifinals when the Corlears Hookers defeated the Butchers 3-1, creating a final featuring two teams with limited fan appeal.<\/p>\n
Captain Ben Bloom assessed the 2010 season, “Our performance last year was pretty spectacular, and we played some hockey too.”\u00a0 With most of their key players returning and the addition of former Gut Rot star Chris DiMotta, the Butchers are eager for the 2011 season to begin.\u00a0 Bloom predicts, “BUTCHERPOCALYPSE TWENTY ELEVEN,” and who are we to disagree?<\/p>\n
Entity They Resemble, According to Rich Glanzer:<\/strong> Bon Jovi<\/em> (2011 version). Those of us who weren’t playing with blocks in the mid-80s remember how disrespected Jovi [Ed: “Jovi?”\u00a0 Really?]<\/em> was. They were a glorified hair band. But now, Jovi is considered rock & roll elite. The Butchers 2010 regular season was nothing to be proud of, but their playoff run was. Expect a much better regular season out of these guys.
