SMYTHE DIVISION
Two teams in the driver seat are the Mayhem on Ice and AshBusters. The AshBusters have just a 2 point lead over the Mayhem. The AshBusters rely heavily on their Shark players of Couture, Pavelski and current team MVP Brent Burns who as a defenseman is having a Bobby Orr type season with 27 goals and 37 assists.
Evolution of Brent Burns... |
Mayhem are lead by the young talent of McDavid with his 47 assists and rookie sensation Patrik Laine who has 28 goals....The rest of the division has the USSR and Krampus Carols tied at 15 points, 5 points behind the AshBusters, and Slow Icin' who are 7 points and could be out of it.
Kane entered the belching contest apparently... |
The Krampus Carols are full of big names, but don't have the record to show it. Names like Tyler Seguin, Patrick Kane, Max Pacioretty, Jakub Voracek...Whats up with that??
NORRIS DIVISION
The Norris has become a one team division as the Assassins have completely pulled away and have a league leading 27 points, 10 more than second place Goon Crew and Who Gives a Puck. The Assassin have only lost 3 games entire season. Kesler has over 700 FOW while Backstrom has 44 assists. They are strongest in goal with Price and Bobrovsky...
Assassins have incorporated the full Backstrom affect... |
Then you have the Goon Crew and Who Gives a Puck. The Goon Crew started out hot to begin the season but have cooled down significantly. The Goon Crew can't seem to get much offensive power with goal scores and have been at the mercy of their two Goalies, Dubnyk and Lundqvist. They typcially have been great, but occasionally Lundqvist takes a dump.
Yep...thats about right... |
Who Gives a Puck is clearly lead by Sidney Crosby who has 32 goals, 33 assists, 10 PPG and 592 FOW. They also have another rookie sensation in Auston Matthews and his 28 goals.
White Mambas are currently in the playoffs if they started today and have done it without much face off circle talent but have been able to put together enough wins to push for the playoffs. Since Murray has been back him and Jones have been strong in net.
The Checkers seem to be fading and most likely not going to make the playoffs. Its one of those not so good Kings season...
