So much for collecting dust. Playing his first game since September 28th, Anton Khudobin stopped all 34 shots he faced; the 34 year-old backstop gifting the Wild Ducks 6.8 of their Friday-best 12.8 points; the Ducks back in the hunt for both the league’s top spot and the Week 2 $10.00 bonus.Wild Ducks: 44.6
SC Cobras: 25.3
The SC Cobras and their chance of a comeback win took a massive hit on Friday, the snakes collecting just 2.0 points on Day 5 - GM Murphy’s again-struggling squad now 19.3 points in back of the fast-waddling Ducks.
Cherry Pickers: 47.1
Baba Booey: 30.9
Both the Cherry Pickers and Baba Booey netted 4.0 points. As a result - other than there being one less day remaining in the week - nothing has changed in this match, the Pickers lead still substantial at 16.2 points.
Central Red Army: 44.0
Misconducts: 24.0
Shea Theodore was good again on Friday, the rising rearguard ripping another 6.0 points (1g, 1a) - his Central Red Army team marching into first place overall; the Army's lead over the gone-quiet Misconducts ballooning to 20.0 points.
Boulder Flyers: 20.7
Lumberjacks: 43.9The Lumberjacks are quietly scooting north in the overall standings, a strong 11.0 point Friday placing the first-year franchise just 10.6 steps from the peak of Mount FHL. That and they’re kicking the Boulder Flyers ass.
Ice Hogs: 26.9
Polar Bears: 28.1For the duration of the week, very little has separated these two teams. Friday was no different as the Polar Bears netted 3.4; the Ice Hogs, 3.0. All told, this Yankee division duel remains close, the Bears lead now 1.2 points with only two ticks remaining on the Week 2 clock.
Rocky Rocks: 18.9
Bluliners: 36.9
Rocky Rocks is the not-so-proud owner of the worst score of the week; the 9th place team falling 28.5 points back after a quiet 3.1 point Friday. The Bluliners are basking in the Rocks misery, GM Hamilton carrying a heavy 18.0 lead into an atypically quiet 5-game Saturday.
