CFHL Week 5

It was a close week with two games ending in a tie and 2 games with just a one win margin.

Goon Crew vs. USSR 3-2-1
Despite the Goon Crew victory, they were disappointed with the ultimate results.  They held a 5-1 lead going into Saturday's games and were ready to make their move in the Norris standings.  But that's where the Soviets put an end to that scoring 5 goals to the Crew's 2 to tie up the goals, 7 assists to Crew's 3 to win Assists.  What was looking like a blow out was much closer.  Jamie Benn was the Number One Star honors with 4 goals, 2 assists +1 and 6 PIM.


Benn and Seguin combined for 6 goals

Who Gives a Puck vs. AshBusters 3-3
The defending champs skated to a tie to the AshBusters.  Wednesday was the big day for both teams.  AshBusters doubled up the +/- on the Puck going +13 vs -13.  However Puck knocked the AshBusters in the mouth with 23 PIM that night led by Claude Giroux who had 15 PIM Wednesday.  Holtby for the AshBusters earned Number One Star honors with a 4 win week and SV% of .945.


Holby was a wall in net

Mayhem on Ice vs. Assassins 3-2-1
The Assassins were not able to gain ground on Norris division leading Checkers and still remain 2 points behind.  It was a relatively low scoring game as each team was only able to come up with 6 goals a piece.  The Assassin had to come from behind to tie the goals getting 4 goals Saturday Night vs. Simmonds' 2 goals for the Mayhem. 


Tis the season for Mayhem

Checkers vs. Krampus Carols 3-3
Checkers managed to give the Krampus Carols all they could handle skating to a 3-3 tie.  Checkers were led by Malkin who had 4 goals but unfortunately only 2 other players manger to net a goal.  Krampus had a pair of goals from 4 different players and once again their blue line was strong getting 12 assists from their defenseman!  Karlsson had 4 assists alone!  Guess this would be the result we would expect between the #1 and #2 teams in the CFHL.  Could that had been a Cherry Cup preview...?  We shall see.
