CFHL Week 4

Into the 4th week of the season the final undefeated team is no longer and all the divisions have tightened up tighter than lug nuts on a 57 Chevy...

AshBusters vs. Goon Crew 7-1

Goon Crew could never recover from Lundqvist earlier 19.0 GAA.  He did end up finishing with 2.71, but the typical strength of the Crew was less than stellar as the Crew lost all of the goalie categories.  Hall for the AshBusters had 4 assists and a +4 while Marchessault had 2 goals.  The Crew couldn't get much scoring outside of Pastrnak and Victor Rask who had 3 and 2 goals respectfully.  Crew drop their first game but still remain one game ahead of Who Gives a Puck.

Not much gets past this guy..

Assassins vs. White Mambas 4-4

The seasons first tie had Assassins and White Mambas skating to a tie while Mamba continued to have Huberdeau in the line up.  (He's out for 4 months).  But hopefully we will see some changes this week.  Tarasenko continued to lead the Mambas as he had 1 goal and 5 assists.  Another outstanding FOW week for the Assassins passing the century mark again.  Number One Star of the game though was Carey Price, for the Assassins who had 3 wins, 1.00 GAA and .967 SV%.  

Mayhem on Ice vs. Who Gives a Puck  7-2

The Mayhem on Ice kept pace with the AshBusters, leading the Smythe Division at 3-1, while the Puck couldn't take advantage of the Crew loss and still remain a game back.  Patrik Laine, seems like I mention him each week, again had a great week scoring 3 goals, 2 assists and 4 hits.  He has 11 goals on the season already.  But the big star in this game was Tuukka Rask who notched 4 wins a 0.75 GAA and SV% of .970

Rask was a wall

Slow Icin vs Cherry's Checkers 6-3

The defending champs fall to 1-3 and continue to complain about the new format...Slow Icin, after dropping first two games are on a 2 game win streak.  The Checkers needed to have a big game from their Kings on Sunday, but could only manage one goal.  Slow Icin on the other hand would get 4 assists on Sunday to take that category, inlcuding 2 from Toews, Icing, so to speak, the game.

Weber blasted 3 PPGs!

USSR vs. Krampus Carols 5-3

The USSR put the hurt on the Krampus Carols racking up 52 hits, not to mention a ridiculous 141 FOW.  Good thing too since the Krampus beat them in Goals and Assists.  An interesting stat in this game was the 6 goals that the USSR scored were all PPG!  Shea Weber had 3 of them and lead the team in hits with 11.  Not a bad days work.
