CFHL Week 15

This was a long one, spanning over the All Star Break.  Here is a quick breakdown...

Upset of the Year:  Slow Icin' vs. Assassins 6-3
The long week was good for the struggling Slow Icin, who only have won 3 games coming into a match up with the top team in the CFHL.  But they surprised the Assassins upsetting them 6-3 behind 4 goals from Hornqvist and 3 from Ladd, not to mention a strong goalie play from Luongo and Mrazek.  If you really want to call it strong, as both teams had the worse goalie play out of all the teams.  The loss didn't hurt the Assassins, as they still hold a big 8 point lead in the Norris division.

Hornqvist led the Slow Icin to an upset win

Around the league...

Checkers vs. Goon Crew 6-2...Crew lose their 6 in a row, and can't seem to find the winning track, despite three players with 3 goals each.  Chislers got great play between the pipes as Budaj and Talbot combined for 8 wins and a 1.42 GAA.

Budaj was a virtual wall for the Checkers

AshBusters vs. Krampus Carols 8-1...AshBusters rolled for the 2 week period winning all but one category.  Their Shark combination of Burns, Couture, and Pavelski combined for 7 goals, 13 assists, +9, and 18 hits.

Who Gives a Puck vs. White Mambas 5-4...With the Crew fading the Mambas and Puck are gaining fast.  Puck forward Marchand had a huge week with 6 goals and 4 assists.  Mambas were good in net again with Jones and Murray combining for 5 wins, 2.31 GAA and .922 SV%.

Marchand had 6 goals for the Puck!

USSR vs Mayhem 7-1...The Soviets got back in the win column handing the Mayhem their 3rd loss in a row.  The USSR continue to dominate the face off circle as they racked up 270 FOW led by Stansty's 64 and Fisher's 68!  They also had the second highest Goalie Win total with 7 between Holtby and Ward.

Go USSR!!!
