Week 8 News and Notes

With These Two In Charge, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Due to consistent underappreciation and limited access to the league power structure, the goalies of BTSH are in the initial stages of forming a union.  As labor conditions continue to deteriorate and goalies have become just an afterthough in league policymaking, this union will finally give the netminders a united front to protect their interests.  Cobra Kai’s Peter Lang, who is the founder of the movement, notes, “Goalies get no respect in this league.  We’re the ones wearing pounds of equipment in the 90 degree heat, and no one cares.”  The Mathematics’ Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez, who is Lang’s second in command, adds, “This collaboration is necessary as our plight continues to be exacerbated under the tyrannical rule of the BTSH despots.”

Already, the two have begun to recruit several of the league’s most prominent goalies in hopes of strengthening their organization.  They first reached out to Eric Ramirez of the Butchers, who was hesitant to commit, as he still had several unanswered questions as to the exact role of the union.  Stumped, but undeterred, Lang and Melendez approached people with less experience in the league (and presumably, fewer questions), namely rookies Shaun Delacy (HLE) and Patrick Barch (FK).  Both jumped at the opportunity, as they are young and impressionable, and they are easily swayed by peer pressure.  Seth Wachtell of LBS, Inc. was also offered a spot, but reluctantly declined as the Corporation has a strict anti-union policy dating back to when Wachtell tried to unionize the LBS, Inc. mailroom.  As of now, Rob “Mungo” Gorden of Poutine Machine has not been asked to join.
