Checkers vs. Mayhem on Ice 7-1
Checker are making their typical late season surge in the games, but with the new format it will be more difficult for them to make the playoffs. Last week they took it to the Mayhem as they were lead by Atkinson's 2 goals and assist (29g, 24a on season) and 13 big hits by Gudas "Cheese". Budaj and Bishop traded teams in the NHL, but still both remain on the Checkers. Connor McDavid's 3 assists (50 on season!) were wasted for the Mayhem in the loss.

Assassins vs. Krampus Carols 6-2
The Assassins just keep on rolling winning their 14th week of the season. They were again strong in net as Gibson and Price posted 1.61 GAA and .941 SV%. Not to mention their 155 FOW lead by 44 from Kesler and 31 from Tavares. Every forward and center posted double digit FOWs. Kane for the Krampus Carols did what he could with 4 goals, an assist and a +3 rating. Just not enough as the Assassins are a very balanced team right now. With a guaranteed win at FOW each week and the goalies they have almost guarantee 4 categories right there. Just need to win one more and they win the week...

USSR vs. Goon Crew 6-3
After a slight stumble last week, the Soviets were back on track and have moved into a playoff spot currently defeating the continuing struggling Crew. The Crew's 117 FOW still paled in comparison to the USSR's 151. The goalies let the Crew down again getting only 1 win and 2.90 GAA and a .904 SV%. Holtby for the Soviets had another great week getting 2 wins and an impressive 1.00 GAA and .969 SV%. The Crew frustrated with their lack of production traded away Dubnyk to the AshBusters for 3 players (Kadri, Schneider, and Wheeler) in hopes to improve their offensive production in the final push for the playoffs.

White Mambas vs Slow Icin' 4-4
Kissing your sister. Another tie for the Mambas (3rd of the year). While Slow Icin' couldnt get anything going in net and the White Mambas were a brick wall in net, Slow Icin' managed to get 4 assists to the Mambas 2 on Sunday to tie up Assists and force the tie. Jonathan Toews was the game's Number One Star as he netted 4 goals, 5 assists and a +6 for Slow Icin'.

Who Gives a Puck vs. AshBusters 7-1
Who Gives a Puck won a big game vs the Smythe leading AshBusters and moved into 3rd overall in the league. This was a game that was NOT highlighted between the pipes as both teams had GAA north of 3 and SV% south of .900. But the puck dominated the offensive categories with 12 goals and 17 assists. Backlund had 4 goals and Brad Marchand finished with 2 goals 3 assists and +6. Even Dougie Hamilton got in on the fun with 2 goals, 3 assists and a+4.

Push for the Playoffs
With only two weeks to go in the regular season it is the final push for the playoffs. For teams tied in points for a playoff spot first tie breaker is head to head vs. all teams tied with, then total rotisserie points for entire season.
As it stands today. AshBusters and Assassins get the first round byes. AshBusters hold a small 2 point lead in the Smythe. Assassins have clinched #1 seed.
Wild cards are the next top 4 teams. Right now #1 wild card is Who Gives a Puck followed by Mayhem on Ice. #3 and #4 would be between Crew, USSR and Mambas. If it started today Crew and USSR would be in and Mambas out. However if just the USSR and Mambas are tied for the last spot, Mambas would get in as they went 2-0 vs the Soviets.
