The Unicorns Are Limbering Up For Their Big Game

Ug

GAME OF THE WEEK
Dark Rainbows (7-2) vs. Unicorns (4-5)
Location: Moffo, 4:00 PM
All-Time Series: Dark Rainbows lead 4-2
Game Notes: This game represents the second leg in the battle for the prestigious Fairy Tale Cup.  In the first leg, the Dark Rainbows soundly defeated the Happy Little Elves 4-0.  Thus, with the Rainbows currently in possession of the (imaginary) trophy, they only need a tie to keep it.  However, this will be no easy task, as the Rainbows’ star goalie, Trevor “White Jesus” Tyrrell is still sidelined with a shoulder injury.  In addition, the Unicorns are coming off of one of their best efforts of the season, a 6-1 defeat of the Bad Touch.  Although the Unicorns are hovering around a .500 record, a win over the defending league champions could prove that they are for real.
Keys to the Game:
1. The Dark Rainbows have used two different backup goalies thus far: Sean Reynolds and John Nielsen.  Depending on whom they choose, they will lose either one of the league’s top defenders in Reynolds or top scorers in Nielsen.
2. Although the Unicorns boast an extremely balanced scoring attack, Nelson currently leads the team with six goals, which includes a hat trick last week.
3. An unconfirmed source is reporting that Unicorns goalie Craig “Ug” LaCombe’s herpes has flared up again.  Whether this clears up by Sunday’s game and how much it will affect his play remain to be seen.
Eli’s Pick: Dark Rainbows.  The cup stays with them for another year.
Derek’s Pick: Unicorns.  Another week without White Jesus is too much for the Rainbows to overcome.

The Squirrels Are Looking Mighty Smug These Days

Gary

GAME OF THE WEEK
Mighty Squirrels (5-0-3) vs. Denim Demons (5-0-1-1)
Location: Moffo, 6:00 PM
All-Time Series: Denim Demons lead 3-0
Game Notes: The Mighty Squirrels are now the only team left in BTSH without a loss of any kind and have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2008 season.  Although the Squirrels lack a true offensive superstar, they have cruised through their competition on the strength of their teamwork and solid defense.  Despite coming off an unexpected bye week, the Denim Demons were not rewarded with a lot of free time.  After his team lost in a shootout to Filthy Gorgeous two weeks ago, captain Adam “Legen(d) Killer” Rubens ran several extra two-a-day practices to whip his team back into shape.  Since neither team has lost in regulation time or overtime yet this season, it’s only fitting that this game gets the “primetime” booking at 6 PM.
Keys to the Game:
1. In another cunning gambit by Squirrels captain Rachel “A-Korn” Greene, defensive stalwart Marie Marberg recently switched positions to forward.  The move has already paid dividends as Marberg scored her first goal of the season last week.
2. In an unusual situation for such a successful team, the Denim Demons have used a rotating goalie system this season.  Although Noah Farkas appears to be at the top of the depth chart, Zack Tinkleman and Steve Chernoski have both recorded shutouts between the pipes.
3. Squirrels enforcer Sven Larsen will proudly unveil a new stick this Sunday, made completely of solid granite.  Although the stick weighs close to fifty pounds, Sven claims it will add two miles per hour to his wrist shot.
Eli’s Pick: Mighty Squirrels.  The Squirrels are very familiar with the 6 PM Moffo game.
Derek’s Pick: Denim Demons.  By the way, I’m still waiting for my “Team Scrappy” shirt.
