WEEK 16 (FINAL)

Of the three San Jose Sharks on the Wild Ducks roster Joe Pavelski is proving to be the most dangerous, the shifty sniper netting a hat trick on Friday to draw his club to within 1.2 of the first place Boulder Flyers.

Wild Ducks: 67.4
Misconducts: 36.5
The Wild Ducks have almost reached the top of the FHL mountain, the second best tally of the week lifting GM Collard's squad to within a single goal of the top spot. The top spot is what the Ducks now in the H2H division as their 11-5 record has left them in a first place tie with the also 11-5 Ice Hogs. The Misconducts tumbled to 5-11 with the loss. The sub-par week also saw GM Smalley's team slide south in the standings, the 5th place squad now 72.3 behind the front-runner.

Polar Bears: 57.7
Ice Hogs: 44.0
It was a must win week for the Polar Bears as they locked horns with the H2H leading Ice Hogs. Win is what the Polar Bears did as they improved to 10-6 and now sit just one game outside of the top. In the all-important overall standings the Bears slipped to third place but sit just 5.1 behind what would be their first FHL championship. By losing the Ice Hogs have company on top of the H2H division. Overall the Hogs remain in 4th place but lost ground in the race for the coveted FHL Cup, GM Henry's team 47.6 back.  

Boulder Flyers: 57.8
Bluliners: 38.9
As they did in 2013-14 the Boulder Flyers have found their feet late in the season. The winner of five consecutive matches, the Flyers are 10-6 and sit just one game behind the Ducks and Hogs. With two teams hot their heels the Flyers nervously sit on top of the overall standings, their advantage understandably a bit too close for comfort. The Bluliners sunk to 5-11 with the loss. The overall picture is even worse as the Bluliners have fallen 153.5 out of first and now sit just 15.6 points north of the FHL basement.

Redliners: 74.2
Timbers: 57.3
No one is exactly sure where it came from but the previously sluggish Redliners exploded for a league-best 74.2. The unexpected outburst lifted the Reds into 6th place in the overall standings and to within 73.2 of third place and it's $100 prize. In the H2H division the 9-7 Reds are still relevant as they sit two games back. Despite the loss the Timbers enjoyed a solid week. Daylight is also getting closer for GM Sarzynski's squad as the Timbers now trail the 9th place Ice Cats by just 9.9.

Ice Cats: 39.3
Dream Team: 27.4
The week was nothing to write home about for either squad as both teams struggled to unearth points. In the end the Ice Cats proved victorious, their record now 5-11. It was a nightmare week for the Dream Team as the league's lowest score dropped them 98.8 out of first place, their H2H record square at 8-8.
