WEEK 16 (thru Saturday)

The Wild Ducks have advanced to the 2020-21 Head-to-Head Championship match, Connor McDavid (1g, 2a) applying 5.0 points worth of icing to the easy-win cake; the Ducks - a league-best 11-4 during the regular season - will next play for the coveted H2H title and it’s $120.00 reward; the ten-time FHL Cup champion seeking their first-ever H2H crown.

Semifinals, Playoffs

Wild Ducks: 53.5
Central Red Army: 35.5­
With high scoring defenseman John Carlson missing his second consecutive game with an injury, the Central Red Army had virtually no chance of mounting a last-ditch comeback, the Army - with no one skating on Sunday - dispatched to the H2H consolation match where they could win a sore-soothing $30.00.
LAST DAY LINEUP (Wild Ducks: 1 player; Central Red Army: 0 players)
Wild Ducks: Alex Barre-Boulet
Central Red Army: None

Cherry Pickers: 36.7
Lumberjacks: 46.1­
The Lumberjacks outscored the Cherry Pickers 11.8 to 10.0 on Saturday, their lead swelling to 9.4 points. The Jacks however aren’t out of the woods yet as two players stand between them and a berth in the H2H championship match. Brayden Point and Victor Hedman - both regular visitors to Bonusland - will be slinging pucks for the Cherry Pickers on Sunday. The Lumberjacks - with no one dressed - will spend the day holding their breath.
LAST DAY LINEUP (Cherry Pickers: 2 players; Lumberjacks: 0 players)
Cherry Pickers: Brayden Point, Victor Hedman
Lumberjacks: None



Rocky Rocks were both a mover and a shaker on Saturday - the team drawing to within 20.0 points of first place with their stellar 19.9 point effort, defenseman Dougie Hamilton (3.0 point goal) providing GM Rocky with reason to believe, the rolling Rocks with a bead on what would be their first FHL Cup championship.

The Battle for the FHL Cup
Both the Cherry Pickers and Wild Ducks carded 10.0 points, as such, the Pickers overall lead is still 12.8 points. The 3rd place Ice Hogs took one step forward, an 11.0 point evening placing the Hogs 16.0 points back. In 4th place, the Lumberjacks moved to within 18.0 points of the FHL penthouse; 2.0 points in front of the 5th place Rocks. The SC Cobras championship chances took a hit with their disappointing 6.0 point Saturday, the Cobras now 23.7 points behind the FHL Cup and it’s $600.00 congratulatory prize.

The Bout for the Money
A blanket? A washcloth? Nope, the race for the money is so close, you can throw a cotton round over the teams that are still battling for a share of the $1,000.00 purse; only 23.7 points separating teams 1 through 6. In 7th place, the Misconducts are still gunning for gold, the team just 29.8 points behind the 3rd place ($150.00) Ice Hogs.

The Scrap for the Laughing Bag
The Boulder Flyers were the best of Saturday as Anthony Duclair (2g, 1a) led the team to a 22.3 point evening, the Flyers once again extracting themselves from the basement; the team now 15.5 points better than the again-in-last-place Polar Bears. Baba Booey is no longer in the Laughing Bag conversation as another strong outing (15.9 points) has placed them in 9th place overall. Entering the Laughing Bag conversation is the Bluliners, the submerged 10th place team now 41.8 points from the slimy bottom of the FHL.
