WEEK 18 (thru Sunday)

Playing with 12 healthy starters for the first time in a month the Bluliners were the best weekend team, thanks in part to a fresh-off-the-bench Niklas Kronwall who deposited 5.0 (1g, 1a) into his team's account.

Bluliners: 21.1
Redliners: 12.0
After spending a weekend in the basement the Bluliners emerged on Monday, a league-high 21.1 providing GM Hamilton's team with a slight 0.9 edge over the return-to-last-place Timbers. The surprise outburst also provided the Bluliners with a 9.1 lead over the Redliners.

Boulder Flyers: 20.8
Polar Bears: 18.8
The second best weekend brought the second place Boulder Flyers to within 4.3 of the first place Wild Ducks. The third place Polar Bears also enjoyed a profitable weekend, their 18.8 leaving them 2.0 behind the Flyers in this H2H race and 29.8 back in the chase for the FHL Cup.

Wild Ducks: 11.9
Ice Hogs: 17.1
The Belle Tire "Match of the week" features the two teams tied for the H2H division lead; both sporting a record of 12-5. At the conclusion of the week only one team will reign supreme. Heading into the backstretch the Ice Hogs have the inside lane as they lead the Wild Ducks by 5.2.  

Ice Cats: 9.4
Misconducts: 16.2
The "Kyle Oskopo Watch" has reached 34 days (a.k.a. how long will an injured player remain a starter). No surprise then that the Misconducts are leading the shorthanded Ice Cats, GM Smalley's advantage 6.8 with five days remaining in the week.

Dream Team: 16.8
Timbers: 17.0
The Timbers continue to play well but couldn't keep pace with the Bluliners. As a result the recently pardoned cellar dwellar has returned to the basement. The Timbers however are just a step from sunlight - and a step from avoiding the FHL Laughing Bag - as they trail GM Hamilton's 9th place team by less than a point.
