WEEK 18 (thru Saturday)

With eleven points in his last eleven games, Mark Stone has been on quite a roll. The 24 year-old forward collected a wealth of those points on Saturday evening (1g, 4a), his once out-of-it Polar Bears team now poised to upset the heavily favored Ice Hogs.

Ice Hogs: 44.4
Polar Bears: 40.8
In addition to Mark Stone's heroics, Victor Hedman was also brilliant (2g, 1a, 12.0 pts) the now-in-eighth-place Polar Bears just 3.6 points behind the Ice Hogs with a heavy 11-game Sunday still to be played. The Ice Hogs meanwhile quietly shoved the Misconducts out of first place, the again-in-first-place Hogs now 5.5 points better than the entire 12-team league.

Bluliners: 45.6
Silicon Valley Slashers: 15.3
The Bluliners were the best Saturday team, a sterling 20.1 point effort lifting GM Hamilton into the money, his on-fire squad now lodged in 3rd place, just 25.5 points from the top spot. The Bluliners are also one day away from solidifying their spot in the playoffs, now a monster 30.3 points better than the faded Silicon Valley Slashers.

Misconducts: 28.1
SC Cobras: 28.0
On a day when points were bursting through the seams, the Misconducts collected only a few, a disappointing 3.1 point effort dumping GM Smalley's squad into 2nd place. The SC Cobras meanwhile hoarded 14.0 points on Saturday, the Brent Burns-infused squad now trailing the Misconducts by just 0.1 points.

Wild Ducks: 31.2
Boulder Flyers: 32.5
The Boulder Flyers were better than the Wild Ducks on Saturday, GM Morgan's squad potting 10.8 points; the Flyers now leading by 1.3 points. Meanwhile the hoping-to-avoid-a-lawn-sign Ducks were dispatched to 4th place, GM Collard's squad now 26.0 points in back of 1st place.

Central Red Army: 26.3
Badger Bob: 35.2­
The Central Red Army scooted closer to their H2H opponent but an upset win appears to be in the cards for Badger Bob, GM Chester's team now leading by 8.9 points with one very loud tick remaining on the Week 18 clock.

Ice Cats: 27.2
Between the Pipes: 18.0
The Ice Cats carded 5.0 points on Saturday, just one fewer than the 6.0 points discovered by Between the Pipes, GM Cutshall's squad now 9.2 points better than GM Miller's sagging Pipes.
