WEEK 5 (thru Saturday)

Ignored in the first round of the draft after a less than spectacular season, defenseman Roman Josi has proven to be an astute early second round acquisition; the 31 year-old rearguard exploding for two goals, two assists and 15.0 points, his Central Red Army team storming to the top of Week 5; GM Buker with one hand on the exclusive $10.00 bonus.

Rocky Rocks: 48.3
Central Red Army: 55.5­
The Central Red Army ripped a league-best 31.0 points but they still have a match on their hands; Rocky Rocks - with no fewer than 8 players skating on Sunday - trailing by just 7.2 points after netting 20.0 on Day 6; GM Rocky gunning for both a sweet come-from-behind win and a sweet $10.00 bonus.

Baba Booey endured a forgettable Saturday as the points-parched team only scored 6.0. The Bluliners weren’t a whole lot better as they netted just 10.8 - the Bluliners still in full control of this non-divisional match as they lead the Booeys by 12.2.
