In need of a win to lock down a spot in the 7-team postseason field, the Polar Bears raced past the Ice Cats on Wednesday - defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (1a, 1a) pacing his team’s 8.0 point assault; the Bears now nursing a 3.4 point lead with four anxiety-riddled days remaining in the week.Polar Bears: 20.6
Ice Cats: 17.2
The Polar Bears are leading by 3.4 as they skate toward a possibly week-turning 11-game Thursday, GM Elya hoping to be seated at the playoff table at the conclusion of the week - a table where the league will distribute slices of the $200.00 postseason pie.
Vegas Vipers: 14.8
Bluliners: 15.9
The Point Fairy wasn’t in a generous mood on Wednesday as there was nothing left under GM Hamilton’s pillow; the Vegas Vipers gifted only 3.3. As a result the haveta-win Bluliners advantage was shaved, their 4.4 lead reduced to 1.1.
Boulder Flyers: 12.2
Wild Ducks: 20.5
The Wild Ducks aren’t playing with a full tank of gas but thus far the Boulder Flyers have failed to take advantage of their under-fueled opponent, a near week-worst effort placing the flopping Flyers 8.3 points behind the Ducks.
Ice Hogs: 19.0
SC Cobras: 9.0
Wednesday was a wasted day for the SC Cobras as they could only match the 6.0 points produced by the Ice Hogs - the listing gotta-win snakes now with only four days to make up their double-digity 10.0 point deficit.
Concussion Junction: 17.3
Central Red Army: 15.3Concussion Junction remains motivated even though there’s absolutely no reason to remain motivated, the free-swinging, nothing to lose squad continuing to lead the favored Central Red Army.
Badger Bob: 8.0
Misconducts: 16.0One week after slaying the Wild Ducks the Bobs have returned to their point-parched ways, a league-low effort dropping the team 8.0 points behind the thankful Misconducts.
