WEEK 24 (thru Thursday)

William Nylander pocketed a goal, an assist and 3.0 of his team’s 7.8 points - the Lumberjacks once again reducing their previously enormous deficit; the cohesive Jacks now trailing the coming-unglued Misconducts by just 9.3 points.

Semifinals, Playoffs

Misconducts: 44.0
Lumberjacks: 34.7­
After the second day of play the league almost placed a call to the Fat Lady; the Misconducts bolting to a 19.9 point lead. Two days later, the services of the silky-voiced chunky-one are no longer needed, the never-say-die Lumberjacks tracking toward an improbable come-from-behind win and a spot in the H2H Championship match.

SC Cobras: 23.9
Cherry Pickers: 18.6­
The two lowest scores of the week have unexpectedly surfaced in this semifinal match, the 2nd worst SC Cobras leading the worst team of Week 24 by 5.3 points, both the Cobras and Cherry Pickers hoping for (much, much, much) better as they lace their double-bladed skates in anticipation of a five-game Friday.



Auston Matthews launched 12 shots on Thursday; two of which found the back of the net - the Wild Ducks commandeering 1st place in the overall standings with their 7.3 point effort; the in-flight Ducks landing 3.0 points in front of the defrocked Boulder Flyers.

The Battle for the FHL Cup
The battle for the FHL Cup has never been tighter as three teams are separated by only 6.7 points; the 3rd place Bluliners moving to within spitting distance of the crown after netting 8.0 points on Thursday. In 4th place, Baba Booey reduced their overall deficit to 20.9 points; the Booeys skating closer to the Promised Land with their 7.5 point effort.

The Bout for the Money
The Polar Bears were the best team on Thursday as they netted 16.0 points, the 6th place Bears clawing their way to within 84.6 points of $120.00 (3rd place). The Cherry Pickers and their in-the-red play continue to fade, the tanking team now trailing a season-ending payday by 53.8 points. The Central Red Army - a virtual (close to literal) one-man show with Roman Josi in tow - now camped 88.1 points behind the green.

The Scrap for the Laughing Bag
The uninspired play of the SC Cobras is providing Rocky Rocks with an exit from the FHL basement; the Rocks - who aren't even looking for an exit - now sitting 48.8 points from ground level.
