WEEK 16 (thru Friday)

The play of the Bluliners in 2017-18 is beginning to mirror the performance of Secretariat at the Belmont Stakes in 1973, GM Hamilton's galloping team now leading by 87.3 lengths after collecting 6.0 points on Friday.

Central Red Army: 20.5
Bluliners: 35.9­
The Bluliners remain in full control of this non-divisional contest, GM Hamilton's Probert-leading squad now 15.4 points better than the Domi-leading Central Red Army. Note: The Bluliners updated score reflects a 1.0 point reduction (John Klingberg lost an assist on Thursday).

Ice Hogs: 16.2
Mooses: 26.6­
A 1.0 point Friday did little to help the Ice Hogs and their chances of reeling-in the Mooses, GM Henry's 7-8 squad just two days away from being shoved off the playoff bubble.

Wild Ducks: 32.3
Boulder Flyers: 21.0­
The Boulder Flyers posted a league-best 9.0 points on Friday, their deficit still large at 11.3. GM Morgan however was ecstatic that his 4th place team no longer trail the Bluliners by more than 100.0 points (a guy has to hang his hat on something).

Badger Bob: 14.3
Vegas Vipers: 23.7
The Vegas Vipers didn't score on Friday allowing Badger Bob to scoot 4.3 points closer, GM Chester's 11-4 Bobs now sitting 9.4 rows behind the 7-8 Vipers.

Polar Bears: 18.7
SC Cobras: 27.3
The elusive win No. 4 sits just a weekend away, the playing-better SC Cobras now 8.6 points in front of the favored Polar Bears.

Ice Cats: 10.0
Misconducts: 14.9
Ding!, Ding!, Ding! The Ice Cats finally reached double figures but it was not enough to keep pace with their opponent, the Misconducts now leading by 4.9 after netting 7.0 points on Friday.
