CFHL Week 12

Close games this  week in the CFHL and a Sunday that saw leads change...

Goon Crew vs. USSR 3-2-1
This was one of the games that saw a Sunday change in the score.  The USSR certainly had the Crew on the ropes most of the week, specially that the 3 top players for the Crew from the Stars were only playing 2 times this week.  The Soviets had no problem winning goals thanks in large part to Kane's hat trick to start out the week and a total of 4 goals.  The game was tied in +/- at 0 and USSR had lead in goalie wins.  On Sunday The Crew would get a +4 and Crawford would get his 3rd win to tie goalie wins, giving the Crew the win.

AshBusters vs. Who Gives a Puck 4-2
AshBusters continue to roll and have caught the Krampus Carols for first place in the Smythe.  Their win comes at the expense of the defending champs Who Gives a Puck.  The AshBusters racked up the assists getting 3 assists from 5 different skaters. (Thornton, Panarin, Ekman-Larsson, "Cousin" Keith, and Eberle).  Tyler Meyers for the Puck was the Goon of the Game getting 17 minutes in penalties.  Holtby in net for the AshBusters continues to shine getting 2 more wins this week as the Puck' goalie play continues to struggle.  This week no wins and a .851, including a pitiful .722 from Goalie Ramo from the Flames.

Mayhem on Ice vs. Assassins 3-2-1

Did someone mention Toews?

The Assassins just haven't been able to get things going this year and drop another week, this time to the Mayhem on Ice.  Goals were a premium this week between these two teams as they both tied at only 6 goals each.  Toews led all skaters with 3 goals to go along with his assist and +3.  Kuznetsov for the Assassins was their best player netting 2 goals, 4 assists and +4 on the week.  Mayhem got 3 wins, 2 form Lundqvist and both Henrick and Mrazek had .950 in SV%.  The Mayhem are now only 3 points behind the Smythe leading Krampus Carols and AshBusters as that division gets tight. 

Checkers vs. Krampus Carols 3-2-1
This game swung back and forth several times, only to have the Checkers ultimately on top by the end of the week.  It started out with the Checkers dominating early in the week with a Kings Monday getting 2 goals, 8 assists and a +3....yes that's 8 assists.  The Krampus Carols would come back however and hold a 5-1 lead going into Sunday, including 2 goals from Sidney Crosby.  But once again it was the Kings late that gave the Checkers the win for the week as they scored 2 more goals, 3 assists and a +6 to win goals and +/-, plus Quick got the win in net tying Wins.
