Volanto’s Oblamski’s Heroes

Cobra Kai (1-3-1) vs. Sky Fighters (3-1)
Location: Corlears North, 5:00 PM
All-Time Series: Tied 1-1
Game Notes: After losing their first three games of the season, Cobra Kai appears to have turned the corner with a tie against the Denim Demons and a win against the Gouging Anklebiters.  Newcomer Adriano Bratta leads the Dojo’s offense with seven goals, putting him amongst the league leaders as well.  Although the Sky Fighters suffered their first loss of the season in their last game against Filthy Gorgeous, they have still been a pleasant surprise.  Grizzled veteran Martin Cejka also has seven goals to lead the Sky Fighters.  Both Bratta and Cejka account for more than fifty percent of their respective team’s overall goals.
Keys to the Game:
1. The Sky Fighters have not played a game since May 4.  They’ll need to shake off the rust early in this one.
2. Paul “P.J.” Lopez has been one of the best goalies in BTSH this season.  Even in their losses, Cobra Kai has had a fighting chance in all of their games because of him.
3. The Sky Fighters are winless since their now infamous bet with the Happy Little Elves.  Captain Amy Lott needs to pick a new name for the Elves soon, so her team can–you know–return its focus to hockey.
Eli’s Pick: Sky Fighters.  Goalie James Stein has provided the balance that they were lacking in 2007.
Derek’s Pick: Cobra Kai.  Forward Greg “Lysol” Altman is one of the most underrated players in the league in playmaking ability, intimidation, and (according to himself) general good looks.  At least two of these qualities will be important in Sunday’s game.

Marc Summers Would Be Proud 

Oh, those Demons

The Real Physical Challenge Was For Jim to Get His Shirt On
After the smashing success of their Dunkin’ Donuts themed uniforms, the Denim Demons honored another American institution with new Double Dare themed t-shirts.  In addition to a graphic on the front of the shirt, the new version also features player names and numbers on the back (for those of you who can’t tell the difference between “Hacksaw” Jim Dandeneau and Jeff Kamen by looking at their fronts).  Abigail Meisterman may have the most unique combination with “Dewey” as her name and the Dewey Decimal System classification for hockey as her number (796.962).  However, Micael Holmström’s subtlety of just using his last name and a non-descript number (16) is by far the most brilliant.  In a potential oversight, Adam “Legen(d) Killer” Rubens’s shirt only reads “Legen”, indicating that D may be missing from his game.  He claims the reason for the omission will be revealed at a later date and time…

GAME OF THE WEEK
Denim Demons (3-0-1) vs. Fresh Kills (1-2-0-1)
Location: Corlears North, 4:00 PM
All-Time Series: Fresh Kills leads 5-2
Game Notes: The Denim Demons are clicking on all cylinders this season, averaging four goals for and one goal against per game.  They boast one of the most lethal offensive arsenals in the league, featuring Michael Pereira, Micael Holmstrom, Lena Moy-Borgen, and Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens.  In fact, the Demons have scored more goals in one game (eight vs. Mexican Standoff) than Fresh Kills has all season (seven).  It will be up to Kevin “Tiny” Foster, Dave Sokolyansky, and Alexandre Frenette to rejuventate this sputtering offense.  However, this veteran squad cannot be overlooked, as last season’s deep playoff run demonstrates.
Keys To The Game:
1. Michael Pereira was Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens’s sleeper fantasy pick for this season.  He currently leads the team with five goals, so–as usual–Rubens was right.
2. The last ten minutes of this game will be crucial for Fresh Kills.  Against both the Sky Fighters and Cobra Kai, all of their goals came after the forty minute mark, but they also allowed four goals in the final ten minutes in their loss to Filthy Gorgeous.
3. Fresh Kills enforcer Heidi “The Maple Leaf Muscle” Karst is one of the most feared and intimidating players in BTSH.  She has already been ejected from three games, including one for a karate chop to Jon “Dinner Plate” Feldman’s esophagus.  Her presence will keep the Demon goons in check.
Eli’s Pick: Fresh Kills.  If I didn’t pick them, Heidi would beat me up.
Derek’s Pick: Denim Demons.  The Fightin’ Rubens plan to unveil a new jersey for this game (for a sum total of about twelve), so they’ll have extra motivation for the win.
