WEEK 8 (thru Monday)

Not a lot of points were scored on a quiet four-game Monday but a good percentage of the points were scored by the best team in the league, Jacob Markstrom (21 save win) guiding Baba Booey to a 4.1 point opener and an early 3.1 point H2H lead.

Baba Booey: 4.1
Rocky Rocks: 1.0­
This match could get ugly fast as the 1st place Booeys travel to Ontario, Canada to take on the 11th place Rocks. Seven weeks into the season Baba Booey has scored an average of 50.4 points per week. Rocky Rocks per week average is 37.8. If the law of averages is a real thing - and both teams have an average week - the Rocks are gonna get rolled.

Boulder Flyers: 4.3
Ice Hogs: 0.0­
In recent weeks GM Morgan has referred to the Ice Hogs as “Hapless Hogs” and “Butchered Hogs," among other things - all while drawing attention to the team’s winless record. As such, GM Henry will begin play with a good-sized chip on his shoulder, the Hogs looking to silence Morgan’s mouth by winning this Probert division clash. It won’t be easy as the Flyers, 4-3, are coming off a win and an 88.8 point week while the Hogs, well, they’re 0-7.

Cherry Pickers: 3.7
Lumberjacks: 0.0
Two times a year the FHL plays host to the who-has-game show, The Recoskie Family Feud. Bragging rights are always at stake when the Cherry Pickers, 5-2, and Lumberjacks, 4-3, drop their gloves - the Pickers arriving at this match with a huge advantage, the team having scored 79.5 more points than the Lumberjacks through the first seven weeks of the season.  

SC Cobras: 0.0
Bluliners: 2.0
Two high scoring teams lock horns in this non-divisional bout; the 3rd place SC Cobras traveling to Chesterfield, Michigan to engage the 4th place Bluliners. The Cobras, 5-2, will be looking to defend their Domi division lead while the Bluliners, 4-3, are hoping to return to the top of the Probert division; a position they held before falling in Week 7.

Central Red Army: 0.0
Polar Bears: 0.0­
A non-divisional battle of 3-4 teams as the Polar Bears jet to New Jersey to engage the Central Red Army. With both teams having losing records, both teams need a win. It may be a bit too early in the season to imply that a match has “playoff implications,” but it just might as 7 weeks of the 22-week H2H regular season are already in the books.

Wild Ducks: 4.0
Misconducts: 2.0
These two teams have been butting heads since 1995. They’ll butt heads again in Week 8 as the Wild Ducks, 4-3, pack their bags and head to Detroit’s west side to match hockey wits with the Misconducts, 3-4. The Ducks will begin plays as the decided favorite, the team having scored a total of 326.3 points thus far while the Misconducts have been held to 284.6.
