WEEK 23 (thru Tuesday)

The SC Cobras are sitting pretty after team captain Evgeni Malkin ripped two goals and dished-out one assist, the 7.0 point outburst helping to place the cruising Cobras 10.0 points in front of the week-worst and still-struggling Misconducts.

First Round, Playoffs

Misconducts: 4.0
SC Cobras: 14.0­
For the Misconducts - the Domi division champion - the time is now, the backfiring squad still trying to find their legs (and feet, and toes) - now trailing by double-digits with five days remaining in Round One of the 2019-20 H2H playoffs.

Boulder Flyers: 17.6
Cherry Pickers: 10.6­
Tyler Toffoli (1g, 1a) netted 3.0 of his team’s 9.0 points, the Boulder Flyers further distancing themselves from the Hedmanless Cherry Pickers on Tuesday, GM Morgan carrying a 7.0 point lead to a five-game Wednesday.

Badger Bob: 9.6
Central Red Army: 11.2­
After a nothing Monday, fans of the Central Red Army were murmuring “wait for it, wait for it.” Sure enough, the league’s hottest team erupted for 11.2 points on Day 2, Tuukka Rask (36 save shutout) placing the heavily-favored Army 1.6 points in front of the now wide-eyed Bobs.



Sebastian Aho (2g, 1a) bagged 7.0 points on Tuesday as the Ice Hogs posted the evening’s best score, the 17.7 point performance returning the Hogs to the familiar digs of 2nd place overall.

The Battle for the FHL Cup
With less than four weeks remaining in the season - and trailing by close to 60.0 points - the Cup-chasers can’t afford to relinquish ground to the Wild Ducks. The contenders took note as both the Ice Hogs and SC Cobras outpointed the Ducks on Tuesday, the Hogs drawing to within 52.4 points of the top; the Cobras now seated 58.7 points back.

The Bout for the Money
By posting the best Day 2 score, the Ice Hogs took possession of the $250.00 second place ticket. The third place SC Cobras ($150.00) trail the money they once held by 6.3 points. In fourth place - and in possession of squat - the Boulder Flyers sit 16.3 rows behind third place and a season-ending payday.

The Scrap for the Laughing Bag
Contrary to what was reported yesterday, maybe the Polar Bears can indeed rid themselves of the Laughing Bag. History says it’s possible. After all, the Titanic survived its brush with an iceberg and arrived safely in New York; the Hindenburg was able to land after extinguishing an on-board fire; OJ Simpson was proven innocent when police arrested the real killer. No one thought any of that was possible.
