CFHL is Back!

The CFHL is back!  Teams have taken to the ice and the Cherry's Checkers go after their 4th consecutive Cherry Cup.  This year 4 franchises folded: The Enforcers, SLVB, Heisenberg's Ice, and Fluffy Bunnies....lame.  But hey, we still have 8 teams and will have a great season non the less.  And of course our weekly look into the girlfriends of the CFHL...

The Crew open the season with 3-1-2 victory over the USSR, Ashbusters bust Assassins 4-2, Checkers pick up where they left off defeating the Mayhem 4-2, and Who Gives a Puck takes down the Krampus Carols 3-1-2.

Seguin waste no time celebrating the first win of the season

Crew vs. USSR 3-1-2
Crew hang on in goals 8-7, surviving Sunday's game which saw Kesler and Pacioretty take the ice for the Red Army.  Tyler Seguin led all players with goals with 3, while 5 other teammates each tallied goals.  Amazingly the goalie stats remained tied at 2 wins each and .929 SV%.  It would remain tied on Sunday as Elliot and Price were on rest as their teams played.  Crew were behind the entire week until Saturday when the tables turned.

AshBusters vs. Assassins 4-2
In a game with lack luster goal scoring the AshBusters busted the Assassins 4-2 as the teams finished with 4 and 3 goals respectively.  The battle came down to assists and PIM as  the AshBusters won assists 16-14 and Assassins won PIM 15-12.  Leading all players in Assists was one half of the Ginger Twins Daniel Sedin, who was dissapointed that he didn't get a chance to play against is Ginger Twin Henrik.  Goalies Bishop and Miller for the AshBusters had a good start to season combining for 4 wins.

Good to have Toews back
and his girl Lindsey

Checkers vs. Mayhem on Ice 4-2
The Checkers who take the ice with a lot of familiar faces put down the Mayhem 4-2.  I mean you would think at some time going all in with King Players would eventually bite him in the ass, but when you win 3 straight Cherry Cups you don't mess with success.  Kopitar, Gaborik, Doughty, and Quick from the Kings and back in at the blue line is Kronwall.  Quick got them 2 wins, and the Kings combined for 6 assists.  Add in Nash, Toews, and St. Louis  this team is primed for another Cherry Cup run.

Who Gives a Puck vs. Krampus Carols 3-1-2
The Stamkos led Who Gives a Puck outlasted the Krampus 3-1-2 as he tallied 3 goals, 2 assists a +2 and 4 PIM.  Not to be outdone was Krampus' Jamie Benn who scored 3 goals, 3 assists +5 and 2 PIM.  Both teams were banged up after the first week with several players on IR or day to day.  Goalies didn't fair much better as each team could only manage 1 win each between their 4 goalies.

So Week 1 is in the book of a long season.  Who will finally knock off the Checkers and prevent them from winning their 4th Cup in a row and remain the only name on the Cup???
