WEEK 27 (thru Wednesday)

Alex DeBrincat was at a loss for words when asked “how is your team going to gain 46.1 points on the Boulder Flyers with what’s left to be played?” the Baba Booey forward in a surly mood after all three of his shots missed their target; the 2nd place Booeys - with nothing to show for Wednesday - facing a monumental task heading into the final days of the season.

The Battle for the FHL Cup
As anyone who has been in 1st place will tell you - no lead, regardless of the number, ever feels safe. As such, the hatches of the Boulder Flyers remain battened, the windows, boarded - the Flyers hoping the recent upward trend continues as they prepare for the final three game-days of the season. Baba Booey meanwhile are hoping for something that resembles a miracle (a miracle would also work) - the 2nd place team in need of a ridiculously-good Thursday to have any hope of hoisting the FHL Cup at seasons end.



Plucked from the bottom of the FHL Discard Bin on Monday, Shayne Gostisbehere could be the reason the Wild Ducks finish in the money; the much-maligned defenseman netting a goal, an assist and 6.0 points - adding to the 6.0 points he scored on Monday - the 4th place Ducks moving to within 0.3 points of the 3rd place Bluliners.

The Bout for the Money
The Bluliners - currently in possession of $120.00 - are not only feeling the heat from the Wild Ducks, the Central Red Army are also bearing down; the charging Army now trailing the money by just 21.4 points after potting 4.9 points on a mostly-quiet one-game Wednesday. The 6th place Cherry Pickers enjoyed an 8.0 point outing; last years runner-up still too far back as they trail the cash by 64.8.

The Scrap for the Laughing Bag
Rocky Rocks outpointed the Lumberjacks 6.0 to 0.0, the Rocks moving to within what amounts to 52 goals (or 104 assists) of 11th place.
