WEEK 8 (thru Saturday)

Bears Flounder; Bluliners Close Gap


When not standing before a judge, Bluliner Semyon Varlamov stops pucks, adding 3.8 on Saturday.

Bluliners: 19.2
Dream Team: 9.5
Ice Hogs: 11.6
The Bluliners posted the best Saturday score, pulling to within 13.1 of the misfiring Polar Bears. GM Hamilton's squad is also leading this marquee battle for head-to-head-to-head supremacy. With six long days remaining in the week, the Bluliners, 4-3, are 7.6 better than the Ice Hogs, also 4-3.

Wild Ducks: 12.5
Ice Cats: 10.0
Boulder Flyers: 18.2
After a week-long search, the Boulder Flyers finally found their mojo, posting numbers eclipsed only by the Bluliners. The Wild Ducks trail the Flyers by 5.7 but they're all smiles on Sunday, once again departing the FHL basement; this time for good, maybe.

Misconducts: 14.4
Polar Bears: 2.0
Redliners: 5.8
The Polar Bears search for Saturday points bore little fruit as the top squad closed the day with just 2.0; their overall lead shrinking to 13.1. The Redliners weren't much better, their anemic numbers dropping them back into the damp and depressing confines of the FHL basement.
