WEEK 4 (thru Monday)

Fresh from a four-game stint on Covid protocol, a well-rested Patrick Kane erupted for three goals, an assist and 12.0 points - his appreciative Cherry Pickers team bolting from the Week 4 starting blocks; the cheery Cherry’s moving to within 8.1 points of the 1st place SC Cobras.

Bluliners: 12.7
Cherry Pickers: 12.0
A pivotal Probert battle as the two division leaders lock horns. The Cherry Pickers, 2-1, will take to the ice as the favorite, the team currently seated in 2nd place overall while the Bluliners, 2-1, are lodged in 5th place. Based on the early returns, keep your head up cause points are gonna be bouncing off the walls.

Central Red Army: 4.0
Lumberjacks: 7.0­
The Central Red Army were the best team of Week 3; the Lumberjacks were the worst. On paper this looks like a mismatch. It ain’t. The Lumberjacks, 2-1, have the better record. They also have three players returning from the Covid shelf in Mark Scheifele, Jonathan Toews and Blake Wheeler. The Army, 1-2, have been playing much better of late but they’ll have their hands full with the fully-juiced Jacks.

Baba Booey: 1.0
Misconducts: 3.1
A non-divisional confrontation that finds the Misconducts traveling to western Canada to battle Baba Booey. The Misconducts, 1-2, will be trying to build on their first win of the season while Baba Booey, 2-1, will be trying to maintain at least a share of the Grimson division lead. The Booeys are the team to bet on, GM Carling harvesting 121.2 points through the first 27 days of the season while the Misconducts have found just 110.0.

SC Cobras: 1.0
Boulder Flyers: 3.0­
The SC Cobras, 3-0, have dominated the early weeks; GM Murphy awarded two (almost all three) $10.00 bonuses. The Cobras are also the best team in the league - and the only undefeated team. The Boulder Flyers, 1-2, are flying in a completely different hemisphere, the team struggling to keep their collective heads above water. The Flyers however are a delusional bunch (too many psychedelics in college) and truly believe they will hand the heavily-favored Cobras their first loss of the season.

Polar Bears: 4.9
Rocky Rocks: 0.0­
After a solid Week 1, Rocky Rocks, 1-2, has fallen on hard times; the shorthanded squad (no room at the IR Inn) having posted the worst score for consecutive weeks. The Polar Bears, 2-1, are currently in 3rd place overall and sit atop the Grimson division. The smart bet appears to be on the Polar Bears but the law of averages is giving the Rocks a chance. The Bears weren’t very good last week, and the Rocks, well, a team simply can’t be thaat bad for thaat long.

Ice Hogs: 0.0
Wild Ducks: 0.0
The Ice Hogs, 0-3, are the only winless team in the league. The Wild Ducks are 1-2. While the numbers - both overall and H2H - don’t favor the Hogs, the team will be skating on home ice for the first time this season. Prior to the match the Pig Pen unveiled - and hoisted to the rafters - the 2020-21 FHL Cup Champion banner. GM Henry is hoping the pre-match ceremonies will invigorate his so-far lifeless team. GM Collard is hoping that none of the Hogs will be invigorated - based on the fact that none of this is real and Morganwigge is making this shit up.
