WEEK 22 (thru Saturday)

It was a “High Five” Saturday for Johnny Gaudreau and his streaking team, the diminutive disher-of-pucks collecting five assists and 10.0 of the Bluliners near-record 43.0 points; the four-time champion Bluliners blazing back into FHL Cup contention as they now trail the trembling 1st place Boulder Flyers by only 12.0 points.

Bluliners: 92.5
Polar Bears: 44.3­
In addition to Gaudreau’s heroics, Leon Draisaitl (3g, 1a) potted his 5th career hat trick, the Bluliners laying some (very) serious hurt on the Polar Bears as they now lead this lopsided H2H affair by 48.2 points. If the season were to end today the Bluliners would also receive an additional $20.00 for their gaudy Week 22 effort, the teams 92.5 points (thus far) already surpassing the previous “Best Week of the Season” high of 88.8.

Bluliners: Anders Lee, Jack Hughes, Adam Fox, Darcy Kuemper*
Polar Bears: Steven Stamkos, Jesper Bratt, Kevin Hayes, Morgan Rielly, Carter Hart*

Cherry Pickers: 63.0
Baba Booey: 63.2
Captain Carling called for “ALL POINTS ON DECK!” as his listing team was facing a 23.4 point “thru Friday” deficit. The kick-in-the-shorts worked as Matthew Tkachuk (2g, 2a) and Timo Meier (3g) combined for 19.0 of the team’s 30.6 points, Baba Booey on the verge of a colossal come-from-behind win as they now lead the picked-off Pickers by 0.2.

Cherry Pickers: Kyle Connor, Chris Kreider, Jacob Trouba, Mikael Sergachev, Connor Hellebuyck*, Tristan Jarry*

SC Cobras: 28.2
Wild Ducks: 51.9
Barring divine intervention from the Hockey Gods (or a serious faux pas by the scorekeeper) the Wild Ducks will be taking their 3rd place overall show to the 2021-22 FHL H2H Playoffs, the clutch Ducks leading the SC Cobras and their hugely disappointing 5.0 point Saturday by 23.7.
LAST DAY LINEUP (SC Cobras: 5 players; Wild Ducks: 5 players)
SC Cobras: Valeri Nichushkin, Nikita Kucherov, Sam Bennett, Nico Hischier, Igor Shesterkin*
Wild Ducks: Mark Scheifele, Evgeni Malkin, Auston Matthews, Jared Spurgeon, Karel Vejmelka*
*Start not confirmed at press time.

Boulder Flyers: 47.6
Lumberjacks: 49.4­
Needing a win to qualify for the seven-team playoffs, the Lumberjacks will be throwing the kitchen sink at the Boulder Flyers on Sunday - the Jacks using a league-high 10 players to protect a slim 1.8 point lead; a lead that is by no means safe with the Flyers Cale Makar patrolling the ice on the final day of the week.
LAST DAY LINEUP (Boulder Flyers: 4 players; Lumberjacks: 10 players)
Boulder Flyers: John Tavares, Andre Burakovsky, Mikko Rantanen, Cale Makar
Lumberjacks: Filip Forsberg, Cole Caufield, Aleksander Barkov, Mats Zuccarello, Chandler Stephenson, Ryan Hartman, Victor Hedman, Shayne Gostisbehere, Alex Goligoski, Ilya Sorokin*
*Start not confirmed at press time.

Rocky Rocks: 33.8
Ice Hogs: 41.4
With two people screaming “Go Hogs!,” home ice somehow bolstered GM Henry’s sagging squad, the Ice Hogs and their 16.9 point effort now leading Rocky Rocks by 7.6 points with only Sunday remaining to be played; the H2H curtain - just inches from the floor - soon to close permanently on both FHL Meadows-bound franchises.
LAST DAY LINEUP (Rocky Rocks: 5 players; Ice Hogs: 8 players)
Rocky Rocks: Mika Zibanejad, Ryan Strome, Artemi Panarin, Josh Morrissey, Kris Letang
Ice Hogs: Jonathan Huberdeau, Cam Atkinson, Tyler Bertuzzi, Brock Nelson, Ivan Provorov, Mark Giordano, Sergei Bobrovsky*, Juuse Saros*
*Start not confirmed at press time.

Central Red Army: 44.2
Misconducts: 29.9
A lot of points could be in play on the final day of the week - the Central Red Army and Misconducts bringing a combined 17 players to the Week 22 finale. The Misconducts will have to harvest the bulk those points, GM Smalley’s wandering team trailing the entrenched Army by 14.3.
LAST DAY LINEUP (Central Red Army: 8 players; Misconducts: 9 players)
Central Red Army: Nathan MacKinnon, Brayden Point, Dylan Larkin, Matt Boldy, Matt Duchene, Nikolaj Ehlers, Roman Josi, Moritz Seider
Misconducts: Bryan Rust, Mitch Marner, Kirill Kaprizov, Sam Reinhart, Nick Schmaltz, Rickard Rakell, Devon Toews, Rasmus Dahlin, Andrei Vasilevskiy
