WEEK 21 (FINAL)

On Sunday the Ice Cats put an end to the playoff hopes of Badger Bob, defenseman Ryan McDonagh (right) netting 9.0 (2g) of his team's league-best 13.0 points, the Cats rallying to defeat the once hopeful Bobs by 7.3 points.

Ice Cats: 54.9
Badger Bob: 47.6
By defeating Badger Bob the Ice Cats secured a berth in the seven-team H2H playoffs, their record now 12-9. For Badger Bob, 10-11, every entrance to post-season play has been shuttered, GM Chester dispatched to the golf course by the frisky Ice Cats. While the Bobs could tie the playoff bound Bluliners with a victory in Week 22, GM Hamilton holds the tiebreaker, his Bluliners team having defeated Badger Bob twice during the season, in Weeks 6 and 17.

Wild Ducks: 59.6
Misconducts: 45.3
It was a memorable week for the Wild Ducks as they ruthlessly commandeered first place, their lead a generous 23.7 points. The Ducks also dealt the best H2H team just their 4th loss of the season, GM Collard's on-fire squad eclipsing the Misconducts by 14.3 points. Despite the loss, the Misconducts will still receive a first round bye when the playoffs begin next week, GM Smalley's squad two games better than the rest.

SC Cobras: 41.8
Ice Hogs: 25.5
Once standing perilously close to the playoff pool exit, the SC Cobras are now playoff gold, GM Murphy's team improving to 11-9-1 by defeating the misfiring Ice Hogs. The Ice Hogs meanwhile couldn't be happier that the week is over. Leading at the start, the Hogs now find themselves fighting for their money-finish lives; standing as close to a no-money finish as they are to securing what would be their third FHL championship.

Central Red Army: 47.1
Silicon Valley Slashers: 42.5­
The Central Red Army were quietly efficient, improving to 14-7 by knocking off the Silicon Valley Slashers. The Army remain lodged in 3rd place overall, now just 6.7 points behind the 2nd place Ice Hogs. The Slashers stumbled to 6-15 in defeat, their lot in the overall standings still painful as they remain stuck in 10th place, now 179.2 points back.

Bluliners: 40.8
Between the Pipes: 37.6­
The Bluliners locked up a playoff spot by defeating Between the Pipes, GM Hamilton's team now 11-10 for the season. The overall picture also improved a bit on Sunday. Still outside of the money in 4th place, the B's now trail the 3rd place Army by just 7.7 points; the first place Wild Ducks by 38.1. Between the Pipes lost for the 15th time, their record near the bottom of the barrel at 6-15.

Polar Bears: 42.6
Boulder Flyers: 36.8
Hoping to exit the H2H basement with a win, the Boulder Flyers were tossed down the stairs by GM Elya and his Polar Bears, the Flyers falling to 5-16. The Polar Bears improved to 6-15, thus avoiding a seat in the H2H cellar; nice but albeit a ridiculously small consolation prize for the defending FHL Cup champion.
