Mrs. Emma Zetterberg..seems happy |
The two time defending champs got back on track playing the hapless Crew beating them easily 5-1. Zetterberg was the Number One Star of the game netting 3 goals, 3 assists and a big +5. Zetterberg is clearly the Goon Crew's nemesis. In last years playoffs it was Zetterberg's assist on the final play of an empty net goal that won the game for the Checkers against the Crew. Stinky Stamkos also had 3 goals for the Checkers (but at press time in the third week of the CFHL Stamkos has broken his leg and will be out indefinitely). Checker dominated in +/- (+20 to -5) and Goalie wins (4-1) as Crawford had a great week tallying 3 wins. The week propelled the Checkers to 2nd place in the Norris only a game behind the Assassins. The Crew are pathetic and seem to only win PIM category (fittingly).
USSR vs. Krampus Carols (3-2-1)
The USSR won a close one against he Carols, winning goals, assists and PIM by only 4 minutes. They posted a putrid -14 though. Both teams had 3 goalie wins Brodeur leading the way for the Krampus Carols posting 2 wins and not allowing a single goal in his two games earning him the Number One Star of the game despite the ultimate loss. Ovechkin looked good for the USSR getting 3 goals and 2 assists. The victory moved the USSR into first place in the Patrick Division one game up on the Enforcers.

Mayhem on Ice vs. AshBusters (3-2-1)
In another close one the Mayhem were able to pull out the victory despite the AshBusters powerful offense of 13 goals lead by Bryan Little's 3 goals. The Mayhem got 6 big assists from Patrick Sharp that helped them capture assists 16-12 while they also did some damage on the boards racking up 22 PIM winning. Chris Steward was the Goon of the Game sitting in the sin bin for 10 minutes...all of which came on their last game on Saturday. The Mayhem are now an impressive 8-3-1 and are tied with the Bunnies for top record in the league after 2 weeks.
Enforcers vs. Who Give a Puck (3-3)

Assassins vs. SLVB (3-3)
Interesting enough the Killer Smurfs also skated to another draw, this time to the Assassins. This was a tale of two teams. Assassins clearly the offensive minded team winning both goals and assists as well as +/-, while those crazy Killer Smurfs won the PIM and both goalie categories. Corey Perry of the Assassins was clearly the Number One Star scoring 3 goals, 3 assists a +6 and 2 PIM. Kyle Turris also had a great game along side of Perry, tallying 2 goals, 2 assists and a +5. The Ginger Twins didn't activate their power this time, or did they, because they certainly played like a Delta Bravo combining for a pedestrian no goals, 2 assists, -8 and only 2 PIM. What a difference a week makes. Ben Bishop came up big for the SLVB getting 2 wins and a .940 SV%.
Ginger Twins new sitcom |
Rask looked good in net |
As is tradition the Bunnies own the best record in the league and seem to always do well in the regular season. "But cups aren't won in the regular season," says Checkers owner Rick Cherry. This was probably one of the more boring matchups as neither team had players that played all that well. Nobody scored more that one goal. Only Keith Yandle had more than 2 assists (he had 3). Tukka Rask was the only sharp one winning 2 games and a solid .957 SV%.
Player of the Week: Corey Perry, Assassins - 3 Goals, 3 Assists, +6, 2 PIM.
Corey Perry was all over the ice helping the Assassin split with the SLVB.
Clearly a Delta Bravo |
This D-Bag of a performance earned him a trip to the bench for Week 3 action. What a Delta Bravo!
