CFHL Week 7

This was a week of close matchups and one blow out...

Goon Crew vs. Checkers 5-0-1
In the Brother Rivalry, the Goon Crew owned this game winning in all categories except goals.  They had 4 categories wrapped up and then an 11 PIM night on Saturday put them in the lead 21-19 in PIM.  Not to mention they were tied with goals at 8 each and they both had their big scorers playing, but no one ended up scoring.  No Kings for the Checkers, and no Stars for the Crew.  The Impressive part of this game was the Crew's goalies that racked up 6 wins and a .974 SV% between Crawford and Varlamov.  The win put the Goon Crew into first place in the Norris.

Crawford had 3 wins on the week!

USSR vs. Who Gives a Puck 3-3
Two struggling franchises skated to a tie this week.  While the Crew displayed excellence in net, these two teams combined for only 1 goalie win.  Who Gives a Puck had no wins from their goalies, main reason was Bobrovsky was listed with the dreaded lower body injury and placed on IR.  Patrick Kane and Ristolainen each had 3 goals for the USSR, but they continue to struggle with the +/- as they finished with -6 and only 2 players had a positive +/-.

It was throwback night for the USSR

Mayhem on Ice vs. MacDaddys AshBusters 3-3
Another tie this week with AshBusters winning goals with only 8 and the Mayhem winning +/- with only +3 (well Puck won with a -5, so what the hell).  David Backes was the Number One Star of the game tallying 3 goals, 2 assists +1 and 7 PIM.  Nearly matching him was Gaudreau with 3 goals, 2 assist and a +3, no PIM.  Mayhem are still trailing the Krampus by 9 points.

Backes getting 5 of his 7 PIM

Krampus Carols vs. Assassins 3-2-1
The Krampus continue to lead the league in points and in first place and they did it again with some impressive fire power.  Taylor Hall, Kucherov, and Justin Faulk all had 3 goals each.  Hall also had 3 assists, a +4 and PIM to earn Number One Star honors for the game.  While the Krampus got the win, they got beat up in the process as the Assassins racked up 25 PIM, including 11 from Marchand.  The Assassins only managed 4 goals all week. 

Taylor Hall lead the Krampus in stuffing kids in sacks!
