With regular captain Dan Hopper in California monitoring the Sky Fighters&#8217; non-European farm team, Infanti was informed five minutes before game time that he would be the team&#8217;s captain for the day.  With little time to prepare, Infanti rose to the challenge and crafted the perfect game plan: score more goals than the other team.  He also contributed one goal of his own.<br \/>\n<strong>Second Star:<\/strong> <em>Shafiq &#8220;Off Black&#8221; Perry, La Famiglia<\/em>.  Perry recorded his second multi-goal game in a row with a hat trick against the Mathematics.  He is now tied for the league scoring lead with linemate Denis Miciletto and the Butchers&#8217; Ben Bloom.<br \/>\n<strong>First Star:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;Gentleman&#8221; James Pereira, Filthy Gorgeous<\/em>.  Returning from an injury much earlier than anyone anticipated, Pereira once again donned the beige V-neck and led Filthy to a much needed victory against the Rehabs.  His two goals were instrumental in Filthy&#8217;s comeback from a 2-0 deficit.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>Shaun deLacy GAA Watch<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/deLacyWatch22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4203\" title=\"deLacy Watch\" src=\"http:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/deLacyWatch22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/deLacyWatch22.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/deLacyWatch22-300x288.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>This year, due to a series of stupid bets made by Happy Little   Elves goalie Shaun deLacy, the media will track his goals against   average over the course of the regular season.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Goals Allowed This Week:<\/strong> 1 (vs. LBS, Inc.)<br \/>\n<strong>Goals Allowed Previously:<\/strong> 14<br \/>\n<strong>Goals Allowed This Season:<\/strong> 15<br \/>\n<strong>Games Played:<\/strong> 6<br \/>\n<strong>Goals Against Average:<\/strong> 2.50<br \/>\n<strong>Next Opponent:<\/strong> Unicorns (2.00 goals per game)<\/p>\n<p>After recording a shutout in his previous game, Shaun followed it up with another stellar performance against LBS, Inc.\u00a0 With just one goal allowed to the Corporation, Shaun&#8217;s GAA dropped to a respectable 2.50.\u00a0 In his next game, he and the Elves face the Unicorns in the opening contest of the Fairy Tale Cup.\u00a0 Although the Uni&#8217;s offense has been just average this season, forward Joe Polowczuk has already scored three goals against Elves goalies this season.<\/p>\n<h4>Know Your Neighbor<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/jojo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4341\" title=\"Jo-Ann\" src=\"http:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/jojo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/jojo.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/jojo-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Name:<\/strong> Jo-Ann Provencher<br \/>\n<strong>Team:<\/strong> Poutine Machine<br \/>\n<strong>Suggested Nickname: <\/strong>Lab Coat<br \/>\n<strong>Rejected Nicknames:<\/strong> The Quebecer, Nordique, Single J, Scrappy Too<br \/>\n<strong>Origin:<\/strong> Quebec City, Quebec, Canada<br \/>\n<strong>College:<\/strong> Maine Maritime Academy<br \/>\n<strong>Quote:<\/strong> \u201c<em>Chantez \u00e0 l&#8217;\u00e2ne, il vous fera des pets.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>First Job:<\/strong> Operating a sandwich stand known as Peanut Butter &amp;
