WEEK 15 (thru Tuesday)

Facing mathematical playoff extinction - and once again paired with a team sporting the best score of the week, Rocky Rocks will take anything they can get - and what they got was a crucial 6.0 point game from defenseman Dougie Hamilton (1g, 1a), the Rocks keeping the suddenly on-fire Polar Bears within sniping distance.

Polar Bears: 30.0
Rocky Rocks: 21.0­
Brayden Point (1g, 3a) collected 8.0 of his team’s 14.0 points, the Polar Bears increasing their week-best number to 30.0 points. Rocky Rocks countered with the best Tuesday score, Erik Karlsson (1g, 1a) matching the performance of teammate Dougie Hamilton, the rolling Rocks trailing the bounding Bears by just 9.0 points.

Central Red Army: 8.0
Badger Bob: 18.7
With absolutely nothing to write home about in recent weeks, Badger Bob find themselves just 10.0 points from the less-refined digs of 3rd place, the longtime FHL leader departing Tuesday with 11.7 points. Despite their opponents struggles, the Central Red Army failed to keep pace, a forgettable 5.0 point outing dropping the Army 10.7 points behind the leaking Bobs.

Boulder Flyers: 21.0
SC Cobras: 15.0­
Defenseman Zach Werenski scored his NHL-best 14th and 15th goals of the season to place the Boulder Flyers further in front of the SC Cobras. “Further” in this case however wasn’t much, the Cobras netting 14.0 points of their own, GM Murphy and his snakes trailing by 6.0 points with a quiet three-game Wednesday on tap.

Ice Hogs: 15.1
Wild Ducks: 18.0­
Alexander Ovechkin (2g) powered the Wild Ducks to a 14.0 point Day 2. The number was good but it wasn’t quite good enough, the Ice Hogs employing a balanced scoring attack - including a two assist, 3.0 point game from defender Tony DeAngelo - to shave their deficit, a 15.0 point effort drawing the Hogs to within 2.9.

Cherry Pickers: 11.0
Bluliners: 25.2
The Bluliners are cooking, Phil Kessel (3a) collecting 4.0 of his team’s stiff 17.7 points, GM Hamilton’s surging squad outpointing the Cherry Pickers by 7.7 - the Bluliners now leading this pivotal Probert division clash by 14.2 points with five days remaining in the week.

Misconducts: 7.0
Vegas Vipers: 5.0­
A label bearing the word “DUD” was placed on Tuesday by both the Misconducts and Vegas Vipers - the Vipers potting just 5.0 points while the Misconducts were held to 6.0. With Week 15 galloping toward the backstretch, the struggling Misconducts lead the also-struggling Vipers by 2.0.
