Don’t Take Filthy Gorgeous Lying Down

GAME OF THE WEEK
HOCKEY NIGHT IN TOMPKINS
Filthy Gorgeous (6-2-1) vs. LBS, Inc. (6-3)
Location: Tompkins East, 6:30 PM
All-Time Series: Filthy Gorgeous leads 3-1-1
Game Notes: Hockey Night in Tompkins has been blessed with a great matchup this weekend, courtesy of the Schuie-tron 3000.  After a red hot start to the season, Filthy Gorgeous has stagnated in the past few weeks, winning only one of their last four games.  During this stretch, the offense has averaged just one goal a game, but on the strength of two shutouts from Dan “D.O” Owens, the team has managed to salvage a win and a tie.  LBS, Inc. has now won three games in a row and is once again looking like an elite team after a sluggish start to the season.  The Corporation is second in overall scoring, mainly due to its lethal duo of Karsten Pichon and “The Alpha Male” Ken Poulin, who both have double-digit goals (13 and 10, respectively).  With Pichon and Poulin playing at such a high level, “D.O.” will once again have to be at the top of his game for Filthy to break out of its slump.
Keys To The Game:
1. Filthy Gorgeous’ defense has given up only 12 total goals this season, placing it second in BTSH.  The most the team has allowed in any one game is a scant three goals.
2. LBS, Inc. defender Sam Anthony remains one of the best dual threats in the league.  In addition to being one of the top pure defenseman in BTSH, he has also chipped in six goals, putting him third on the team.
3. It is no secret that Filthy Gorgeous defender Becky Antar Novick is one of the league’s biggest fan favorites.  With a raucous crowd expected for Hockey Night in Tompkins, her cheering section should be loud and boisterous.
Eli’s Pick: LBS, Inc.  The Corporation is clicking on all cylinders right now.
Derek’s Pick: LBS, Inc.  I’ll call the two defenses a wash in this game, but LBS, Inc. has the advantage on offense.

You Too Can Be As Cool As Abby

The media will be running a second Survivor Pool beginning with the games of June 28.  If you would like to participate, please e-mail Derek or Eli to reserve a spot.  There will be 25 spots available on a first come, first serve basis, with some consideration given to those who did not participate in the first pool.   Once again, the winner will receive the right to post a guest column on any topic he or she chooses.

Abby Gives Herself Two Thumbs Up

Mighty Squirrels FTW!
Congratulations to Abby Meisterman of the Denim Demons for winning the inaugural BTSH Media Survivor Pool. Over the course of 10 grueling weeks, she managed to outlast 18 of BTSH’s most cunning and crafty individuals (and Meredith “Danberg” Ficarelli).  Here is Abby’s formula for success:

Week 1: Sky Fighters defeat Mega Touch, 7-2
Week 2: Filthy Gorgeous defeats Mega Touch, 5-0
Week 3: Fresh Kills defeats Tuques, 5-1
Week 4: Denim Demons defeat Mexican Standoff, 4-3
Week 5: All games cancelled due to “rain fears”.
Week 6: Rehabs defeat Mega Touch, 2-1
Week 7: Unicorns defeat Mega Touch, 2-1
Week 8: Dark Rainbows defeat Mighty Squirrels, 2-1
Week 9: LBS, Inc. defeats Mexican Standoff, 5-2
Week 10: Mighty Squirrels defeat Mega Touch, 4-0

Ironically, the closest Abby came to being eliminated was in week 4, when she picked her own team.  That week, the Demons rallied from a two-goal deficit with 10 minutes remaining in regulation, allowing Abby to remain in the pool.  Also of note is the fact that she won the pool without ever picking What The Puck or the Corlears Hookers, which are normally two of the safest bets.  As the winner of this competition, Abby is entitled to write a post for btsh.org on any topic she chooses.  It is tentatively scheduled to be posted on Wednesday, June 24.
