Week 16 Preview

At Least One Member Of What The Puck Is Pumped

GAME OF THE WEEK
Denim Demons (10-1-2-1) vs. What The Puck (12-2-0-1)
Location:
Moffo, 4:00 PM
All-Time Series: What The Puck leads 8-2
Game Notes: These teams waged a classic battle in the quarterfinals of the 2007 playoffs, where What The Puck emerged with a one goal victory. The Demons currnelty trail What The Puck by two points in the standings, but with a game scheduled prior to this one, they could enter this matchup in a first place tie. This has all the makings of an intense and heated matchup, as the victor will have the inside track to the top seed in the rapidly approaching playoffs. With these two teams so evenly matched, victory will hinge on the the motivation and strategy of two the league’s most cunning captains: the Demons’ Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens and What the Puck’s Larry “Mad Dog” Zimmer.
Keys To The Game:
1. The Demons will have a 2:00 game at Moffo, which gives Zimmer the perfect opportunity to scout his opponent.
2. With the returns of grizzled veteran Tom MacDonald and spunky forward Jen Hale from Canada to What The Puck’s already potent offense, the Demons will have to go over even more footage in the film room.
3. Known as the utility player of the Denim Demons, Zack Tinkelman can play any position on the court, including goalie, where he has already registered two shutouts on the season.
Eli’s Pick: What The Puck.  The Demons get caught up in a “Hale Storm”.
Derek’s Pick: What The Puck.  The Orange and Blue will be the first seed in the playoffs.

Mighty Squirrels (7-4-3) vs. Denim Demons (10-1-2-1)
Location:
Moffo, 2:00 PM
All-Time Series: Denim Demons lead 3-0
Game Notes: After an outstanding start to the season, the Mighty Squirrels have now lost their last four games in a row.  Things do not get any easier for them as they begin a two-game day against the third place Denim Demons.  Although the Demons suffered their first regulation loss of the season last weekend, they responded immediately with a solid victory against the Gouging Anklebiters later that afternoon.
Eli’s Pick: Denim Demons
Derek’s Pick: Denim Demons

Gouging Anklebiters (4-11) vs. Mathematics (4-11)
Location:
Corlears North, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: Mathematics lead 2-1
Game Notes: As “Hawk Fever” sweeps over the Mathematics with Jeff “The Hawk” Hawkins’s spectacular play in the last few weeks, it is only fitting that team icon Soulja Boy debuted a new dance known as the Bird Walk.

Corlears Hookers (11-3) vs. Dark Rainbows (10-4-1)
Location:
Corlears South, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: Tied 1-1
Game Notes: The last time these two teams faced off, it was in the finals of the 2007 BTSH playoffs.  Behind Trevor “White Jesus” Tyrrell’s stellar goaltending, the Dark Rainbows blanked the favored Corlears Hookers with an impressive 4-0 victory.  The Hookers have had this game circled on their calendars all year long, but enter with a laundry list of injured players.
Eli’s Pick: Dark Rainbows.  The Corlears Hookers have too many injuries.
Derek’s Pick: Corlears Hookers.  They have appeared a little less machine-like this season, but will still make a statement with this game.

Filthy Gorgeous (10-4-1) vs. Tuques (6-8)
Location:
Moffo, 3:00 PM
All-Time Series: Filthy Gorgeous leads 3-1
Game Notes: After a late night last Saturday, Filthy Gorgeous barely escaped from their game against the Bad Touch with a win.  To avoid a recurrence, captain Monica Russo has issued a curfew and secured a wing at the local Holiday Inn, where she will perform bed checks every hour.  The Tuques have upset the Sky Fighters and Denim Demons in the past two weeks, and they would love to add Filthy Gorgeous to that list.
Eli’s Pick: Filthy Gorgeous.  Monica is the sternest disciplinarian in the league.
Derek’s Pick: Filthy Gorgeous.  No, Monica isn’t a real hockey coach…but she did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Mighty Squirrels (7-4-3) vs. Fresh Kills (7-7-0-1)
Location:
Corlears North, 4:00 PM
All-Time Series: Fresh Kills leads 3-1
Game Notes: With Fresh Kills sniper Bob “Olmec” Weyersberg out this week, team shooting accuracy promises to improve exponentially.  This does not bode well for the Mighty Squirrels as they play their second game of the day.
Eli’s Pick: Mighty Squirrels.  Chocolate brown and powder blue…I feel like I’m back at Tufts.
Derek’s Pick: Mighty Squirrels.  They need this win desperately.

LBS, Inc. (11-3-1) vs. Bad Touch (1-13-1)
Location:
Corlears South, 4:00 PM
All-Time Series: LBS, Inc. leads 7-4
Game Notes: With a huge matchup against the Denim Demons next week, LBS, Inc. may be overlooking their uppity opponents.  As the Bad Touch proved last week, they are a much better team than their record indicates.  However, it would still help them greatly if LBS, Inc. stays out until four in the morning. 
Eli’s Pick: LBS, Inc.
Derek’s Pick: LBS, Inc.

Happy Little Elves (1-13-1) vs. Cobra Kai (4-9-1)
Location:
Corlears North, 5:00 PM
All-Time Series: First Meeting
Game Notes: This would be a good candidate for the Game Of The Week…if it were opposite day.
Eli’s Pick: Happy Little Elves.  They’ve actually looked like, you know, a real team in the past few weeks.
Derek’s Pick: Cobra Kai.  The Dojo still has some dangerous weapons and will improve as new captain Enayet “Retail” Rasul continues to organize the squad.

Sky Fighters (8-6) vs. Unicorns (9-6)
Location:
Corlears South, 5:00 PM
All-Time Series: Unicorns lead 5-2-1
Game Notes: With the Sky Fighters’ game plan now unveiled to the masses, the Unicorns have been working furiously around the clock to figure out a way to stop this complex strategy.
Eli’s Pick: Sky Fighters.  The Unicorns will look stupid once they realize that Amy isn’t even going to be around for this game.
Derek’s Pick: Unicorns.  They’ve been hot lately, and they came through for me last week against the Mighty Squirrels.

Rehabs (9-4-1-1) vs. Mexican Standoff (1-11-2-1)
Location:
Moffo, 5:00 PM
All-Time Series: Rehabs lead 4-2
Game Notes: The challenge has been issued.  If the Rehabs win, Mexican Standoff’s Ellery “The Nature Boy Gillette” must shave his “Puerto Rican goatee”.  However, should Standoff pull off the upset, Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez will have to shave his.  Alex “Villano VI” Zabala may be involved, but we’re not sure how…and neither is $howT!m3.
Eli’s Pick: Rehabs.  To add insult to injury, $howT!m3 plans to use a Gillette razor.
Derek’s Pick: Rehabs.  Gillette may be smart in withholding his official response to this one.

Media Records:
Eli:
81-37
Derek: 80-38
