CFHL Week 12

Big Match up Week in the CFHL this week.  We had the Number 1 and 2 ranked teams face off.  We had the Husband vs. Wife match up again and we had the 2nd and 3rd place team in the Norris battle it out as well.  Here's how it went.

Checkers vs. Fluffy Bunnies (4-2)

Crawford came up big for the Checkers!

The battle between the 1st and 2nd ranked teams.  The Bunnies had made a charge to catch the Checkers in the overall standings so this game would give the winner an inside track to the top seed in the playoffs.  And it came down to the final day and would have to be determined by a shoot out.  The game was 3-2 for the Checkers and the two teams had their Goalies facing off on Sunday. Checkers had Crawford and the Bunnies had Rask.  The Bruins vs. Blackhawk game would go into OT and then to a shoot out where Crawford and the Blackhawks would win giving the Checkers the 4-2 victory instead of a 3-3 tie.  The Checkers found some offense as well scoring 12 goals.  Pavelski and Marchand both had 4 goals!

SLVB vs. Enforcers (3-3)

This is how the SLVB vs. Enforcers game started

These two teams seem to only want to tie each other, neither wanting to face the wrath of a spouse scorned by beating the other.  And it was a close one.  Killer Smurfs winning by only one goal.  Enforcers winning by only one assist.  It was a blood bath however on the ice with a combined 78 PIM with the Enforcers edging the SLVB by a count of 41-37 even with Killer Smurf "Mister" Garrison's 19 total PIM.  Killer Smurfs got a solid performance between the pipes as Bernier and Bishop both had 2 wins and Bishop had a SV% of .932.  Ginger Twin update:  Stock Down.  No goals, No assists, a -1 and 8 PIM.

Assassins vs. Goon Crew (4-2)

Hossa got revenge over his former team.

After beating the Enforcers 5-1 and looking like they were hitting their stride, the Assassins come to town and put the Crew back in their place.  It was close all week long but the Assassins seemed to have the edge in every category by just a few or one point.  The Goalies struggled for the Goon Crew despite getting 3 wins.  Mason got lit up  and only had 1 win and a .875 SV%.  Hossa was the Assassins sharp shooter netting 3 goals while Corey "Dog" Perry got 4 assists along with Hartnell.  The victory brought the Assassins up to the 3rd seed in the standings overall.  Assists were wild as the two teams combined for 40 assists in the game!

Player of the Week: Martin St. Louis, Krampus Carols.  5 Goals, 3 Assists, +3, 2 PIM.

St. Louis had 4 goals in one game!

St. Louis was really the only bright spot for the Krampus Carols in this match up between bottom dwellers.  He had 4 goals in one game and helped the Krampus from being totally shut out.  The AshBusters came out on top 4-2 when it was all said and done putting the Krampus Carols now in the bottom 12th spot.


Around the league...Who Gives a Puck came away with a win over the Mayhem on Ice 4-2.  They finally got their goalies working as Quick got 2 wins and a .967 SV% and Talbot was able to manage a win and a .967 SV% as well...Heisenberg's Ice was able to tie the USSR 3-3.  Net minder Ondrej Pavelec for Heisenberg was able to win both goalie categories on his own with 3 wins and a SV% of .921.  Ovechkin continues to do his part, with little help, scoring 3 goals but no assists and a -1.
