Cherry's Checkers vs. R.C. Goon Crew 4-2
The Crew came up short for their bid for their first Cherry Cup. The Checkers were pretty much in command of this game the entire week being up as much as 6-0 and 5-1. Tuesday the Checkers managed to get 7 assists! 5 coming from their Kings connection. Thursday would see them pull away in goalie categories as both Quick and Greiss notched wins and SV% of .950 and .973 respectively.

It would come down to Saturday and Sunday's game if the Crew were to even have a chance. They needed goals and assists in a bad way. They managed to tally 5 goals, 3 coming from Spezza, and 5 assists. Unfortunately the Checkers would get 4 assists that day keeping them up by 3. The Crew would need 4 assists to win on Sunday from Getzlaf and Voracek. Voracek would only tally 1 assist and the Crew would come up short.

The Checkers earned their 4th Cherry Cup in the past 5 years of the league. Neal and Kopitar led the way in assists with 7 combined assists. They were so far out of the playoffs weeks ago, and made an amazing run. They continue to load up on Kings players and 4 out of 5 years it has been a recipe for success. Kopitar had 49 assists leading the team. Carter had 24 goals and 38 assists. Toffoli had a career year scoring 31 goals and a +35 rating. Doughty had 37 assists, Muzzin had 64 PIM and Lucic, who sat most of the playoffs had 20 goals, 35 assists and 79 PIM. Oh and lets not forget the 40 win season Quick had.
