WEEK 23 (thru Thursday)

Bending but not breaking has been the modus operandi of the 2015-16 Polar Bears. If GM Elya is to win the FHL Cup, his team will have to thwart breaking one more time, the Bears currently under heavy fire, the Cup-focused Bluliners now trailing by just 4.9 points.

Bluliners: 59.1
Silicon Valley Slashers: 31.4
Another day, another point or two closer to first place. The Bluliners grabbed 10.0 points on Thursday and now sit less than five points from the peak of Mt. FHL. GM Hamilton is also galloping toward his 13th victory of the season, leading the bleeding Slashers by 27.7 points.

Polar Bears: 35.4
Central Red Army: 40.5
Erik Karlsson (1g, 1a) returned to form last night but the other Polar Bears were mostly quiet, GM Elya's overall lead downgraded from "precarious" to "oh shit." Meanwhile the upset-minded Central Red Army could soon add a feather to their cap, GM Buker's squad leading the H2H division champion by 5.1.

Misconducts: 47.2
Wild Ducks: 43.1
Don't look now but the Misconducts are sitting just 29.7 points behind the Polar Bears, another FHL Cup not out of the realm of possibility. GM Smalley's team is also tracking toward their 13th win of the season, now 4.1 points better than the 10th place Wild Ducks.

Badger Bob: 63.3
Ice Cats: 33.5
Barring the official FHL scorekeeper forgetting how to add, Badger Bob will depart the week with their 14th win of the season. The "W" will also guarantee GM Chester at least a tie for 2nd place in the H2H division - a spot they can claim for themselves with a victory next week.

Boulder Flyers: 41.8
SC Cobras: 33.8
The Boulder Flyers have upped their lead over the SC Cobras, GM Morgan's advantage now 8.0 points. While the Flyers are out of the money, the Cobras are still alive and slithering, GM Murphy's team sitting 33.1 rows behind the 3rd place Misconducts.

Ice Hogs: 35.3
Between the Pipes: 44.3
Needing a win to have any chance at H2H 2nd place cash, Between the Pipes responded in a big way, GM Miller's team now 9.0 points better than the Ice Hogs with only Friday remaining in the week.
