| Not necessarily a fan of goaltenders, GM Collard will be forced to heap praise on Sergei Bobrovsky should his Wild Ducks capture the FHL Cup, the late 3rd round draft pick backstopping a 36 save, 7.2 point shutout - his league-best 40th win of the season - the Ducks erupting for 16.1 points on Saturday.The Battle for the FHL CupThe Wild Ducks buried the Ice Hogs on Saturday, outpointing the 2nd place team by 12.1 points. As a result the Ducks lead was upgraded from "perilous" to "relatively comfortable," GM Collard's squad now 18.8 points better than the Hogs. The previously dormant Bluliners unleashed 15.4 points, dispatching the outgunned Central Red Army to 5th place. The Misconducts meanwhile are clinging to the last money position, the 3rd place team just 0.2 points better than the Bluliners. Round One, H2H PlayoffsCentral Red Army: 35.8 SC Cobras: 24.3 Not playing especially well, the Central Red Army have provided the SC Cobras with every chance to win. The sagging snakes haven't seized the opportunity, the Army seemingly en route to the semifinals of the H2H playoffs, leading the catatonic Cobras by 11.5 points. Ice Hogs: 38.2 Ice Cats: 60.5 With arguably the most explosive offense in the league, no one wanted the Ice Cats in the opening round of the playoffs. GM Henry can attest to that fact, his Ice Hogs facing a monster 22.3 point deficit with only Sunday left to be played. Wild Ducks: 46.1 Bluliners: 36.1 The Bluliners enjoyed a point-heavy Saturday but the unflappable Wild Ducks were better, GM Collard adding more foam to his cushion, the on-fire Ducks now leading this Original Six playoff match by 10.0 points. The Skirmish for the Laughing BagAntti Raanta (30 save shutout) and Aleksander Barkov (1g, 2a) provided GM Miller with the makings of a ladder, his Between the Pipes team beginning their climb out of the basement on Saturday, the last place Pipes now only 6.0 points behind the Boulder Flyers.
