CFHL Week 14

Here is how the week, or weeks actually shook out.  It was a very long battle this week as the All Star Break extended the match ups to 2 weeks...

Goon Crew vs. Checkers 3-3
The Goon Crew faced one of their toughest weeks and could only manage a tie with their rival brother Checkers.  This game, while the 3-3 would indicate a close game, wasn't really that close at all as each team took big leads in each category early on and never looked back.  Crew had a pair of 3 goal scorers in Seguin and B. Saad as they took goals.  Kopitar the Zombie led the Checkers with 5 assist to win assists even though Voracek for the Crew had 7 assists. 

Seguin continues to shine for the Crew

Who Gives a Puck vs. USSR 6-0
This had to be one of the most lopsided games of the season.  Who Gives a Puck victory pulled them to within only 3 points of the Checkers for 2nd place in the Norris Division.  None of the categories were close for the most part.  14-7 in goals led by Okposo and Byfuglien each had 3.  26-13 in assists led by Giroux's 5.  +9 to -1 in +/-.  PIM 40-24 led by Byfuglien's 18 PIM goon like performance.  Plus the Puck got 4 goalie wins from Luongo and Jones.  The USSR have been trying to figure out their team all season and rumors have it they are looking to build for next season putting their top players on the trading block.

Mayhem on Ice vs. AshBusters 3-2-1
The Mayhem moved to 2nd place in the Smythe division by defeating the AshBusters in a game that posted some big numbers.  The Mayhem had 19 goals and 56 PIM!  It doesn't hurt to get a match penalty from Simmonds who ended with 24 PIM on the week.  But he also had 6 goals to earn Number One Star of the game for the Mayhem. 2 other players had 9 PIM (Barrie and Phaneuf). Not to be outdone was the 29 assists the AshBusters had led by 7 from Subban and 5 from Panarin.  Both are still in the playoff hunt in spots 3 and 4.

Simmonds left cross that earned him the Match Penalty

Krampus Carols vs. Assassins 4-2
Krampus Carols continue to lead the Smythe and still hold the number 2 spot in the league.  This was a close one with the Krampus only winning by 1 goal and losing to assists by only 5 and PIM by only one minute.  Sid "the Kid" had a huge game and earned the Number One Star honors with 6 goals, 3 assists, +6 and 4 PIM for the Krampus Carols.  Erik Karlsson continues to impress netting 1 goal and 7 assist with a +5.  That "Little Ball of Hate" Marchand for the Assassins was their top goal scorer netting 5 goals!  Rask and Bishop didn't disappoint either combining for 5 goalie wins and a SV% of .925 for the Krampus Carols.
