WEEK 5 (thru Tuesday)

Rarely has a --- scratch that -- never has a player drafted in the 7th round had a significant impact on who wins the FHL Cup. That could change this season as Patrik Laine - a player drafted in the 7th round (the 146th player taken overall) - carded yet another hat trick, his three goal, one assist game providing his 1st place Ice Hogs team with 12.0 points.

Bluliners: 12.3
Ice Hogs: 16.5
With Patrik Laine jockeying GM Henry's horse, the Ice Hogs tried to gallop past the Bluliners on Tuesday. P.K. Subban (1g, 1a) however kept this Probert division clash close, GM Hamilton's squad currently trailing their division rival by 4.2 points.

SC Cobras:21.2
Polar Bears: 5.3
Martin Jones pitched a 24 save shutout, his SC Cobras team now sporting the best tally of the week. With 14.8 Tuesday points in all, the snakes lead the suddenly sleepy Polar Bears by a healthy 15.9 points.

Silicon Valley Slashers: 9.4
Between the Pipes: 13.0
Jordan Eberle may have finally discovered his game, the Between the Pipes forward depositing 7.0 points (2g, 1a) on Tuesday. All told, the Pipes escaped the day with 11.0 points, their lead over the Silicon Valley Slashers now 3.6.

Wild Ducks: 14.0
Badger Bob: 10.6
No player starred for the Wild Ducks but they received points from many, GM Collard's team potting 14.0 points on Tuesday. Badger Bob were the recipient of another Carey Price win yet couldn't match their opponent's output, the Ducks leading this pivotal Grimson match by 3.4 points.

Ice Cats: 10.8
Central Red Army: 13.3
The Central Red Army erupted for 13.3 points, thanks mostly to Mark Scheifele and his 10.0 point (2g, 2a) game. Connor McDavid (3a) and his Ice Cats team couldn't keep pace, the Army now leading by 2.5 points with five days remaining in the week.

Misconducts: 5.0
Boulder Flyers: 10.1
The team that handed the Ice Hogs their first loss of the season have blown a tire, GM Smalley's sputtering Misconducts team trailing the also sputtering Boulder Flyers by 5.1 points.
