WEEK 20 (thru Thursday)

As he has done for most of the year, Sergei Bobrovsky cast a very long shadow on Thursday, the third round draft pick backstopping a brilliant 38 save, 7.6 point shutout; his Wild Ducks team moving into second place in the overall standings.

Wild Ducks: 29.6
Ice Cats: 38.0
By improving to 33-13 on the season, Sergei Bobrovsky brought the Wild Ducks to within 23.3 points of first place. GM Collard however still can't get a bead on the Ice Cats. With the best score of the week - including an additional 7.0 points on Thursday - the Cats continue to lead this non-divisional H2H match, their advantage now 8.4 points.

Ice Hogs: 14.9
Badger Bob: 20.1
With three teams less than 30.0 points back, GM Henry is again starting to look over his shoulder, his slumping Ice Hogs thus far collecting the second fewest number of Week 20 points. While a frown can be seen on the face of the Ice Hogs General Manager, GM Chester is nothing but smiles, his underdog and under-the-gun Badger Bob team leading by 5.2 points.

Central Red Army: 33.2
Between the Pipes: 17.0­
Between the Pipes enjoyed a 9.0 point Thursday but the last place team still has a very long row to hoe, the Pipes trailing the now-in-third-place Central Red Army by 16.2 points with three days remaining in the week.

Bluliners: 26.1
SC Cobras: 22.2­
If the Bluliners win their final three matches there's no chance of them being bumped out of the H2H playoffs. With their fate entirely in their hands, the Bluliners continue to play well, a 9.1 point Thursday placing GM Hamilton's squad 3.9 points in front of the SC Cobras.

Misconducts: 22.1
Polar Bears: 26.0
The Polar Bears struggled on Thursday, thus allowing the Misconducts back into this H2H match; GM Smalley's 5th place team netting 10.2 points, their H2H deficit now just 3.9 points with only Friday and the weekend left to be played.

Boulder Flyers: 26.6
Silicon Valley Slashers: 14.3
The Boulder Flyers are walking on a path that could lead to back-to-back wins <insert shocked face here> GM Morgan's surging squad harvesting 11.9 points on Thursday, their lead over the coasting Silicon Valley Slashers now 12.3 points.

I should have thought of that five months ago.

It failed miserably..
