Before we start the WTP season preview, we here at the ORG would like to welcome me back for my first writeup of the year. Welcome!
2012 marks WTP’s 10th-ish season, and with the tenth-ish season comes some minor roster tweaking.
Of course, WTP keeps their heart and soul superpower players, namely Hannah Stark, Michelle Doucet, and super-tall-triple-threat Corey “Topanga” Winters, Mike Woodsworth, and Captain Larry Zimmer. (These guys are tall, right? It’s not just me?)
WTP also keeps, for the second year in a row, Anthony “busy bee” Romeo. Goalie stability is a key component of BTSH success, and between Romeo, their “almost but not quite” championship game last year, and the gaggle of little small people they wrap up in a blanket and unravel right before the game (Gina Hackett not included! Booyah! Hilarious joke!), they’re going to be a for-realz force this year.
Beware the orange.
Entity They Most Resemble (According to Rich Glanzer)
Entity: Rehabs. Pretty obvious, no?
Fun Fact: Michelle constantly barrages Derek and myself with facebook messages about BTSH. We roll our eyes at her.
Fun Fact 2: Hannah Stark’s game-winning goal in the semi’s was dedicated to her son, named Ellery.
Fun Fact 3: Sven wasn’t allowed to write this preview because Romeo protested that Sven didn’t know the Devils had won not 1, not 2, but 3 Stanley Cups. You can look it up Sven. And you probably should.
Not so fun fact: Romeo counts how many saves he makes. He then adds 10 when he posts the # on FB.
