WEEK 1 (thru Thursday)

Hobbling after the opening day of the season, Between the Pipes were repaired by Brad Marchand, the 5th round draft selection torching the twine for 13.0 points (2g, 3a).

Between the Pipes: 20.0
Badger Bob: 14.9
The Pipes were the best Thursday team but their 17.0 point performance did little to distance themselves from the suddenly hot Badger Bob, Marc-Andre Fleury (39 save win) guiding his team to a 14.9 outing.

Ice Hogs: 27.5
Boulder Flyers: 12.0
An 8.8 point second day was enough to keep the Ice Hogs on top of the FHL heap, their overall advantage now 5.5. H2H-wise the Hogs continue to coast, leading the Boulder Flyers by a girthy 15.5.

Wild Ducks: 22.0
SC Cobras: 17.9
The Wild Ducks pocketed a quiet 6.0 points, gaining ground on the even quieter SC Cobras, GM Murphy's team departing the day with only 2.8.

Ice Cats: 20.0
Bluliners: 11.0
The Bluliners endured a miserable Thursday, GM Hamilton's squad collecting just 2.9 points. As a result, the Ice Cats padded their H2H lead, GM Cutshall's Cats now 9.0 in front.

Misconducts: 19.5
Central Red Army: 14.4
The Misconducts now lead by 5.1, thanks to a solid 9.5 point effort. The Central Red Army aren't bothered as they have bigger things on their mind; No. 1 goaltender Jonathan Quick carted to the shelf on Wednesday.

Polar Bears: 11.0
Silicon Valley Slashers: 11.8
This match is an intriguing H2H battle as only 0.8 points separates the Polar Bears and Silicon Valley Slashers. Beyond that the squabble isn't nearly as interesting, the two teams occupying the 10th and 11th spot in the overall standings.

I have a feeling GM Morgan is having a pep talk with his team this morning..  Start at the 45 second mark for best effect..

Okay smarty pants, you obviously didn't notice that Auston Matthews scored ZERO goals in the third period. None. Zip. Zilch.

Getting a little ahead of yourself, don't you think. 😜
