WEEK 4 (FINAL)

Trailing the Polar Bears by 4.0 points heading into the final day of the week, the Bluliners rallied to claim the $10.00 best-week bonus - Patrick Kane contributing two clutch assists to bounce the Sunday-quiet Bears, GM Hamilton and his blessed Bluliners finishing on top of the Week 4 charts with 58.3 points.

Bluliners: 58.3
Boulder Flyers: 58.2­
While the Bluliners were focused on the Polar Bears, the Boulder Flyers nearly erased a 13.8 point deficit - Alexander Ovechkin (2g, 2a) providing 10.0 of the Flyers league-best 18.6 points; the no-luck birds losing by <wait for it> 0.1 points (insert foul language here). Despite the stellar effort, the Flyers are now buried even deeper in the Canuck division with a league-worst record of 0-4. The Bluliners improved to 4-0 with the much-tighter-than-expected victory, the stainless squad still perched atop the hotly-contested Canuck division.

Polar Bears: 57.4
SC Cobras: 53.6
When GM Elya emerges from the depression brought on by a difficult-to-process $10.00 snubbing, the Bears boss will rejoice in the fact that his team won a match for the first time this season, the 2016 FHL Cup champion improving to 1-3 - their H2H playoff hopes, still breathing. The SC Cobras played well but were ultimately unable to keep pace with the Bears, GM Murphy’s squad stumbling to 1-3 on the year - though still only two games back in the Yankee.

Rocky Rocks: 51.3
Baba Booey: 50.1
Rocky Rocks stagged a memorable comeback on Sunday, defenseman Dougie Hamilton (1g, 1a) erasing his team’s 4.8 point deficit - the Rocks clipping Baba Booey by 1.2 points. With the win, Rocky Rocks improved to 2-2, the team still very much in the hunt for the Canuck division crown. Thinking they had a win in the bag, Baba Booey skates into Week 5 with their stick between their legs, the first-year franchise falling to 1-3 for the year; a record that places the Booey’s three games back in the Canuck.

Wild Ducks: 41.0
Central Red Army: 29.3­
The Central Red Army endured their toughest week of the season, the previously firing-on-all-cylinders squad posting the second worst score of the week - the unexpected effort strapping the Army with their first loss of the season. The Wild Ducks improved to 3-1 with the easier-than-expected win, GM Collard and his quality-quacks now living in the penthouse suite of the Yankee division, though they do have a roommate in the form of the also 3-1 Central Red Army.

Misconducts: 46.7
Ice Hogs: 43.1­
The Misconducts improved to 2-2 by holding off the Ice Hogs, the quick-start-slow-finish squad feeling fortunate to escape with a win, the Misconducts and their .500 record now one game in back of the Yankee division leaders. The Ice Hogs’ record was squared by falling for the second time this year, the 2-2 mark placing the Hogs in the middle of the Yankee, though still only one game back of the division-leading Ducks and Army.

Cherry Pickers: 44.5
Lumberjacks: 25.3­
The Cherry Pickers are one of only two undefeated teams, the squad improving to 4-0 by dusting the Lumberjacks; the Pickers, in the process, also making a return trip to 1st place overall. Despite the perfect record, the Pickers still have company atop the Canuck division, the team tied with the somehow-undefeated Bluliners. The Lumberjacks showed signs of life late in the week but were still strapped with a lopsided loss. Not only did the league-low tally leave the Lumberjacks with a subpar mark of 1-3, the first-year franchise was dumped into the FHL basement - the Recoskie brothers now acting as bookends to the overall standings.
