After enduring a miserable start to the season - including time spent in the FHL basement - the SC Cobras have sprung to life, a Radim Vrbata hat trick lifting the once flatlining squad into 5th place in the overall standings, a mere 29.7 points shy of a season-ending payday (3rd place).Redliners: 17.7
SC Cobras: 37.0It's all good news for GM Murphy and his SC Cobras, the expansion franchise now an active participant in the chase for the coveted FHL Cup. Their H2H fortunes have also took a turn for the better, the Cobras and their 3-5 record now leading the sagging Redliners by 19.3.
Badger Bob: 30.1
Ice Hogs: 25.4The Cobras weren't the only team making noise on Tuesday as Badger Bob - buoyed by a two goal performance (9.0 points) by Roman Josi - raced past the thumb-twiddling Misconducts and into 3rd place. Once drifting in the wrong direction, the Bobs are now in the money; just 54.0 points behind the first place Polar Bears.
Polar Bears: 37.4
Ice Cats: 12.7After a gluttonous Saturday the Polar Bears have quieted, netting just 4.0 points on Sunday and 3.0 points on Monday. The Ice Cats however have failed to take advantage of their opponent's mediocrity, the tires-spinning squad still well back of the Bears, GM Cutshall's hole currently 24.7 points deep.
Wild Ducks: 12.2
Silicon Valley Slashers: 14.1The Silicon Valley Slashers were the only team to register a point on Monday, GM Murphy's team increasing their H2H lead over the Wild Ducks to 1.9. The overall standings find the Slashers 39.7 behind the Bears while the Wild Ducks continue to wallow in 10th place, triple digits behind the best of the FHL.
Bluliners: 5.0
Misconducts: 14.2The Misconducts finally found a spark plug for their misfiring engine, a 7.0 point performance providing GM Smalley with a 9.2 lead over the comatose Bluliners. Overall, the Misconducts have been pushed out of the money as they now occupy slot No. 4. The Bluliners are the worst team of the week, a measly 5.0 points dropping GM Hamilton's squad 86.4 points behind the division leader.
Between the Pipes: 11.3
Boulder Flyers: 20.1 With a team saturated with Coloradians it's either feast of famine for Between the Pipes. After a few weeks of good eatin', GM Miller is starting to get hungry, a below average "thru Monday" leaving the Pipes 8.8 points behind the last place Boulder Flyers. Overall, Between the Pipes are nearing the dreadful century mark, trailing the first place Polar Bears by 97.2.
