CFHL Week 5

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!  Its time for Turkey and Hockey this week!


Checkers vs. AshBusters 7-2
The Checkers, last in the league between the pipes, finally got quality play in the net between Budaj and Bishop as they combined for 5 wins!  Bishop had a GAA of 2.01 and SV% of .934.  Jeff Carter lead the skaters for the Checkers with 4 goals, 2 assists 6 hits and 60 FOW.  Kucherov for the AshBusters had 4 goals as well.  AshBusters are now a game behind the Mayhem while the defending Champ Checkers get their second win of the season.

Krampus vs. Slow Icin' 5-4
Krampus held on vs Slow Icin in a low offensive production game.  Krampus scored only 4 goals, but was enough to beat Slow Icin's 2.  The Teams combined for a -25.  Where the Krampus won this game was in the goalie categories as Allen earned the Number One Star of the game notching 3 wins, a 1.33 GAA and SV% of .953 which was enough to beat either of the Icin' goalies.

than the Checker mascot...

Mayhem on Ice vs. White Mambas 7-1
White Mambas managed to win only assists as they lost by one in Goals and just one Win with the Goalies.  Plus PPG were tied.  But even if they won those categories, they still would have lost.  Only two players took the face offs for the Mambas which didn't help either.  McDavid netted 3 goals for the Mayhem during the week.  Mayhem move to 4-1 and are in first place in the Smythe Division.

Assassins vs. USSR 5-4
This was a battle of the two top face off teams and they didn't disappoint.  The Assassins remain the king of FOW as they beat the USSR 155-146. Backstrom had 43 to go along with 4 goals and 4 assists, while Kesler had 40 FOW.  The USSR had two in the 40s as well as Trocheck had 42 and Stastny had 44 FOW.  No team was even close to those numbers.  The USSR also lead all teams with 55 hits as they have the reputation as one of the most physical teams.

Goon Crew vs. Who Gives a Puck 5-2
Who Gives a Puck had a chance to tie the Goon Crew for first place in the Norris Division, but the Crew managed to pull off the win.  Game was close overall as the Crew won goals by 3, PPGs by just one and +/- by just +2.  Who Gives a Puck won Assists by 1.  They tied in both Hits and Goalie wins, while the Puck edged the Crew in FOW by 3 (95-92).  Dubnyk continues to shine as he had 1.39 GAA and .955 SV% for the Crew.

Goon Crew Fans get into it...

Long way to go yet this season as we are only in Week 5 of the 20 week season.  Goon Crew have a 2 game lead in the Norris and have a rivalry match up with the Checkers.  Mayhem only have 1 game lead over AshBusters in the Smythe and have a game against the struggling White Mambas.
