BTSH WEEKLY RECAP – WEEK 7
by Eli Kazin

The Games

THIS HAS TO BE THE MOST UNINSPIRING GAME OF THE WEEK EVER. Matt Novick scored two goals, Homin Lee and Suvin Malik each added a goal, and according to Filthy Gorgeous captain Monica Russo “one more person scored,” as Filthy Gorgeous shut out the Gouging Anklebiters, 5-0.

DUTCH FEVER…CATCH IT. Gavin Kearney scored the game-winning goal in overtime as the Corlears Hookers remained undefeated with a 3-2 victory against Fresh Kills. Brendan “Dutch” Kearney and Peter Putka also scored for the Corlears Hookers, and Putka may have already caught Dutch Fever, as illustrated by his raucous celebration after scoring from behind his own goal line. Brice Rosenbloom and Alexandre Frenette were the goal scorers for Fresh Kills.

YA, WE’RE A PRETTY GOOD ORGANIZATION, EH. Darrell Hartman scored three goals, and Mike Woodsworth added two goals, including the game winner, as What The Puck also remained undefeated with a 5-1 triumph against the Mighty Squirrels. Kyle Fogden scored the lone goal for the Mighty Squirrels.

DON’T FORGET ABOUT US…WE HAVE NOT LOST YET, EITHER. Alex Zabala scored the only goal of the game midway through the first half, and Craig Lacombe recorded his second shutout of the season as the Unicorns defeated the Tuques, 1-0.

CHANTEL ARROYO DOES NOT TALK TO THE MEDIA. Chantel Arroyo scored two goals, and Lateef Nurmohamed added one goal as the Rehabs beat the Sky Fighters, 3-1. Gina Hackett played the entire game on defense for the Rehabs.

ANTHONY ROMEO WON THIS GAME, TOO. With LBS starting goalie Seth Wachtell unable to play, Anthony Romeo filled in and registered his second win of the day with a 31-save shutout. Jason Bogdaneris scored the only goal of the game late in the second half, as LBS blanked the Dark Rainbows, 1-0.

THERE WAS NO STAGED FIGHT THIS YEAR. In a game that featured numerous great saves from both Stefanie Volanto and birthday boy Noah Farkas, the Denim Demons squeezed past Cobra Kai, 3-2. Jeff Kamen scored two goals, including the game winner, and Zack Tinkleman added one goal for the Denim Demons, while Ray Chan and Brian Morrison scored goals for Cobra Kai.

THE MATHEMATICS ARE UNDEFEATED WHEN SHARIF CORINALDI IS NOT PRESENT. Georgine Paulin scored the game-winning goal, Andy Pratt scored two goals, and Laura MacNeil added a goal as the Mathematics notched a 5-1 victory against Mexican Standoff, despite the absence of co-captain Sharif “The Chocolate Buzzsaw” Corinaldi. Gary Cohen scored the lone goal for Mexican Standoff, who played Len Guinto in goal for the entire game.

PORK FRIED RICE’S TEAM COLOR IS BEST CLASSIFIED AS BURGUNDY. Denis Monty scored two first-half goals, and Tim Hannon scored two second-half goals, including the game winner, as Pork Fried Rice doubled up the Bad Touch, 4-2. Toby Carroll and Christopher Neal scored goals for the Bad Touch.

Nickname Nook With Derek Tagliarino

These people will now be known as the following:
Bob Weyersberg of Fresh Kills is now Olmec.
Jonathan Levine of Cobra Kai is now The Barnacle.

Special Contest Continues One More Week: You get one more week to fire back. There have already been several “clever” nickname submissions for Eli and me, but I want to see what else is out there. If you think you have one, this is your last chance to submit it (to derektag@gmail.com). I’ll post the best nicknames next week, and I will even buy the winner a PBR (pending league backing).

News and Notes

Chris Beauvois of the Corlears Hookers is looking for league members who would be interested in taking pictures at league games so that we can ultimately have pictures taken of every game each week. If you are interested, please let Chris know….Ref of the Month Award goes to Molly Jacobs of LBS for her performance while reffing the Unicorns-Tuques game. Her wrist blocked a blistering Chris Eng shot from hitting her in the head, and the force of it still sent her airborne slightly, but she got right back up with only a skinned knee and continued to ref….Next week’s schedule (see below) features four Moffo games, including a 6 PM matchup, and is different from the traditional six games at Corlears, three games at Moffo formation – it’s correct and NOT a typographical error!….Georgine Paulin’s game-winning goal was also her first BTSH goal.
