Chris Pronger rallied his still undefeated Bluliner team to victory, netting one goal and one assist on Friday.BLULINERS: 46.7WILD DUCKS: 46.1The Belle Tire 'Match of the Week' exceeded expectations as the Bluliners stunned the Wild Ducks on the final day. The win left GM Hamilton's dent-free franchise with a still perfect record (5-0) and a one game lead in the Gretzky. The Wild Ducks, 2-3, are now one of the few teams in the history of the FHL (maybe the only team?) to lead the league in points yet have a losing (head-to-head) record.
ICE CATS: 34.3DREAM TEAM: 22.7The Ice Cats have moved into first place in the Howe with a no-sweat victory over the hapless Dream Team. GM Cutshall's squad is now 3-2 - a record they share with their division rival Ice Hogs. The Dream Team season is officially a nightmare as the still-green franchise plummeted to 0-5. Despite their winless record - and last place overall position - GM Austin, surprisingly, has yet to be stuck with a $3.00 penalty.
MOOSES: 28.9POLAR BEARS: 19.9Speaking of $3.00 penalties, the Polar Bears got hammered with another - their league-worst third of the season. GM Elya's south-migrating team is now 2-3 overall. Ironically, the Mooses struggled with 28.9, but still had enough in the tank to derail the misfiring Bears. With the win, the Mooses improved to 4-1 and sit just one row behind the Gretzky leading Bluliners.
ICE HOGS: 48.8MISCONDUCTS: 43.1The Ice Hogs maintained a share of the Howe division lead as they battled past the hard luck Misconducts. The win left GM Henry's Hogs with a 3-2 record and, along with the Ice Cats, enjoy a one game advantage over both the Ducks and Misconducts.
CROSBY SHOW: 38.8BOULDER FLYERS: 35.0The Boulder Flyers made a match of it but their rally fell short. With the loss, the wingless birds slumped to 1-4 in the watered-down Howe division. Despite their pathetic record, the Flyers sit only two games back of the division leader. Meanwhile, the Crosby Show, now 3-2, kept pace with both the Bluliners and Mooses as they remain within striking distance of the Gretzky division crown.
