WEEK 7 (thru Monday)

Cale Makar continues to channel “Bobby Orr” as the greased-elbow defenseman ripped another two goals and 9.0 points on Monday, the bolting Boulder Flyers - once lodged near the basement - now sitting in 8th place overall, just 40.5 points back.

Bluliners: 2.5
Boulder Flyers: 17.0
A storied rivalry that dates back to 1994, the Boulder Flyers travel crosstown to engage the Bluliners. A lot will be at stake as both teams reside in the Probert division; the Bluliners share the division lead while the Flyers sit one game back. If the Flyers win, they could also share the division lead.

Central Red Army: 2.0
Cherry Pickers: 7.7
The Central Red Army, 3-3, arrive at this non-divisional match with a stiff 52.0 point week blowing at their back. Last week, the Cherry Pickers, 4-2, had the wind in their face, the trudging franchise considered a slight underdog despite beginning play as both the best of the Probert and the best of the FHL.

SC Cobras: 3.0
Rocky Rocks: 12.2­
A huge intradivision rumble as the best of the Domi division meets the worst of the Domi division. With a record of 2-4, the Rocks trail the SC Cobras, 4-2, by two games. If the Rocks win they’ll draw to within one game. If they lose they’ll tumble a distant three games back. “Yep, what we got here folks is a genuuuuine two-game swing.”

Wild Ducks: 4.0
Lumberjacks: 4.0
This puppy could get ugly as the limping Lumberjacks, 4-2, are bringing mostly “hopes and prayers” to this intradivision battle - the Jacks settling near the FHL cellar after scoring a league-worst 28.4 points in Week 6. The Wild Ducks, 3-3, weren’t great last week but the law of averages is siding with the better team, GM Collard hoping to grab a share of the Grimson division lead by flapping the Jacks.

Misconducts: 12.2
Ice Hogs: 9.9­
“What’s a team gotta do to get a win around here” squawks GM Henry; his Ice Hogs skating into Week 7 with absolutely nothing in their win basket. This however could be the Week of the Hog as they’re finally paired with a team lower in the standings. Yes, the 0-6 Hogs will be considered a slight favorite as they lock Nerf horns with the Misconducts, 2-4; the muted Misconducts playing better but not yet good enough.

Polar Bears: 4.0
Baba Booey: 7.0­
The best team of Week 6 (Baba Booey) engages a team (Polar Bears) that also scored 60+ points. Only 9.8 points separates the two teams in the overall standings. Only one game separates the pair in the Grimson division standings. Both teams are red hot. If you’re a betting man, don’t bet on this one as the guy who runs the league’s Win Predicting Department is saying “How the hell should I know?!”
