| You can't keep a good man down, and apparently you can't keep a good hog down. Quickly rebounding from arguably the most disappointing week in franchise history, the Ice Hogs received a combined 15.0 points from Zach Werenski (1g, 1a) and Justin Faulk (2g), the back-on-track team collecting 21.7 points in all, the Hogs closing to within 18.5 points of 1st place.Ice Hogs: 21.7 Silicon Valley Slashers: 8.0Seemingly down for the count, the Hogs picked themselves up off the canvas on Monday, the two-time champion again upright and swinging wildly. All of this comes at the expense of the Silicon Valley Slashers, GM Murphy and his besieged team already sitting in a deep 13.7 point hole. Wild Ducks: 16.5 Central Red Army: 7.0The Wild Ducks took one on the chin on Monday but the 1st place team remained standing, a solid 16.5 point effort minimizing the damage done by the Ice Hogs. The Central Red Army meanwhile were good but not great, a 7.0 point evening placing the 3rd place squad 9.5 points in rear of the still-hot Ducks. Misconducts: 0.0 Between the Pipes: 32.0 Forward Brad Marchand (3g, 1a) and new-hire defenseman Jaccob Slavin (3g, 1a) are attempting to carry their team out of the FHL basement all by themselves, the pair combining for a ridiculous 30.0 points on Monday; the Pipes now just 5.5 points from ground level. The Misconducts meanwhile are already facing a monstrous uphill climb, trailing the piping Pipes by 32.0 points. Bluliners: 6.0 Polar Bears: 16.3Despite having nothing to play for the defending champion isn't going down without a fight, the proud franchise bagging 16.3 points on Monday, the out-of-it Polar Bears already 10.3 points better than the playoff-bound Bluliners. SC Cobras: 4.6 Ice Cats: 10.6 The runaway train that is the Ice Cats continue to pile on points, a 10.6 point opener leaving the headless squad 6.0 points in front of the SC Cobras. Badger Bob: 6.0 Boulder Flyers: 6.0Badger Bob was hoping their Week 22 encounter with the Boulder Flyers would be a battle for a spot in the H2H playoffs. It isn't. As a result this match is meaningless; the two meaningless teams tied after Day 1 of the final week of the regular H2H season. LINK: StandingsLINK: Playoff Standings |
