<\/a><\/p>\nColor:<\/strong> White Roster<\/strong><\/p>\n Sascha Owen (captain) Like their younger counterparts, the Butchers and Poutine Machine, Lbs. are showing admirable roster stability this year. But unlike those other teams, the Lbs. are not a lovable crew of misfits coming together to create something bigger than themselves. On the contrary, they\u2019re more exclusive than Skull & Bones.<\/p>\n If this were The Mighty Ducks 3<\/em> they would be the Varsity Squad. If this was a John Hughes film, they\u2019d have the James Spader role. If this was Titanic<\/em> they\u2019d be Billy Zane.<\/p>\n Yes, you can judge a book by it\u2019s cover when it comes to this team.<\/p>\n And what message does white polo shirts with currency symbols send to you?<\/p>\n They are the 1%.<\/p>\n That doesn\u2019t mean they haven\u2019t earned their success. Classic couple, Karsten Pichon and Ken Poulin, the Brandon Walsh and Steve Sanders of BTSH remain a potent scoring threat, Sam Anthony is still one of the league\u2019s most underrated defensemen (PR tip – speaking more than 10 words in a game may help you get more attention, Sam), and Seth Wachtell has proven that you don\u2019t need to have blonde hair and blue eyes to become a BTSH ladies favorite (take that, Dan Owens).<\/p>\n But seriously guys, it\u2019s 2012. Obama is President. Would it kill you to add a little more diversity to the lineup? It\u2019s not just the color of your uniforms that\u2019s seriously white. This team is the hockey equivalent of wonder bread and mayo and having Ken Poulin swear at referees in his incomprehensible French-Canadian dialect won\u2019t convince anyone that you\u2019re not waspier than Mitt Romney at the Westminister Dog Show.<\/p>\n Times are changing and a growing populist movement in BTSH may force this team to change as well. In the meantime, debuting those new platinum tipped stickblades is probably a bad idea, Sascha. Nobody want to see \u201cOccupy Lbs.\u201d become a thing.<\/p>\n Lbs. play in the highly competitive Brown Division and while they may not be fans of equality, every team in their group matches up nicely against them talentwise. For Lbs. to improve on last year\u2019s stellar record, it\u2019s going to be all about attendance in the key summer stretch. If Owen can get her team to take the early Jitney back from the Hamptons, Lbs. are the favorites to win their division. If not, expect them to play just well enough to avoid relegation to the decidedly more working class Larsen Division.<\/p>\n Either way, there\u2019s no doubt that when the playoffs come, Lbs. will once again be a team that contends while generating next to no fan support from anyone not actually related to a team member.<\/p>\n While some may think they\u2019re cruel, we need to remember what movies have taught us. Popular, good looking kids are only mean to other people because they have parents who ignore them or who have been married too many times. If you just give them a chance, they will turn in to good people and give you the money you need to save your grandmother\u2019s house\/restaurant\/bakery\/farm.<\/p>\n So if you really want to see \u201cchange you can believe in\u201d for BTSH, don\u2019t just sign one of the many petitions Greg Allman is planning on circulating this year.<\/p>\n Hug a Lb.<\/p>\n Entity They Most Resemble According to Rich Glanzer<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Entity: <\/strong>Donald Trump<\/em><\/p>\n Color: White Year Founded: 2002 2011 Regular Season Finish: 11-5-0-1(2nd, Hackett Division; 4th overall) 2011 Playoff Result: Lost to Dark Rainbows in round of 16 Conference: Tagliarano Division: Brown Team Song: \u201cIce, Ice, Baby\u201d – Vanilla Ice Roster Sascha Owen (captain) Fernando Limonic Karen Erickson Alexandra Chenitz Anne Grady Angela Upton Brian Barrett Dustin […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":529,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[159],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2012-team-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5244"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/529"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5244"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5244\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5253,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5244\/revisions\/5253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
