WEEK 6 (thru Saturday)

With the Vegas Vipers given only a puncher’s chance to defeat their undefeated opponent, Cale Makar caught Badger Bob flush on the chin on Saturday, the rookie defenseman netting two goals and 9.0 points; the Vipers drawing to within 11.7 points of what would be a hugely improbable come-from-behind win.

Badger Bob: 43.0
Vegas Vipers: 31.3­
Trailing by 32.0 points on Wednesday, the tenacious Vegas Vipers continue to make inroads - but they may be running out of time, their deficit still fairly large with only a relatively heavy 7-game Sunday remaining in the week.

Rocky Rocks: 24.7
Boulder Flyers: 40.7­
Rocky Rocks outpointed the Boulder Flyers by 0.8 points on Saturday (8.7 to 7.9) which didn’t even dent their opponent’s thick advantage, the Flyers gliding toward a 4-2 start as they now lead the rolled Rocks by 16.0.

Cherry Pickers: 43.1
Ice Hogs: 53.2
The Cherry Pickers were 3.7 points better than the Ice Hogs (11.7 to 8.0) but they’re still entrenched in a fairly deep divot, the week-best Hogs now leading this Probert division rumble by 10.1.

Central Red Army: 48.5
Bluliners: 29.2
With no need to worry about their limp H2H opponent, the Central Red Army have turned their attention to the overall standings; the Army marching into 2nd place on Saturday, now just 18.2 steps from the peak of Mt. FHL.

Polar Bears: 31.2
Wild Ducks: 25.0­
After the Polar Bears jumped in front of their opponent on Thursday, the Wild Ducks response has been “nada,” another quiet night placing the lame Ducks 6.2 points in back of the last place Bears.

Misconducts: 36.2
SC Cobras: 39.2­
The needa-win SC Cobras were in desperation mode on Saturday, the snakes outperforming the Misconducts by 3.0 points (12.0 to 9.0); the Cobras now nursing a 3.0 point lead with only one day remaining in the week.
