The CFHL Update (Hockey Wife addition)

It really would appear that the playoffs are starting to take shape as 4 teams seem to be completely out of it.  Checkers are still seeking their second win of the season.  Krampus Carols haven't made a line up change in several weeks.  USSR have only 3 wins and just can't get anybody to trade.  Goon Crew only have 3 wins and just can't seem to put anything together or find any players worth replacing what they already have.

On the flip side, La Femme Nikita still have only lost once and are on a 4 game win streak.  The AshBusters are on a 6 game win streak.  Defending Champ Mayhem on Ice trying to keep their playoff hopes alive are on a 3 game win streak.   Who Gives a Puck have opened up a 3 point lead over the Assassins and White Mambas.

If there was a gambling site for the CFHL you would have been wise to put a ton of money on the favorites money lines last week as all the top teams played all the suck ass teams and didn't disappoint. 

White Mambas defeated the lifeless Krampus Carols 4-2.  Billed as a classic match up between Mambas' Crosby and the Krampus' Ovechkin, Crosby came out on the winning side with 2 goals and 8 big assists.  Ovi did have 3 goals and 3 assists.

Who Gives a Puck had little trouble with the fading Goon Crew 4-3 despite the  Crew excellent net minder play between Andersen and Smith (3 wins and .923 SV%).  Puck got  amazing blue line play with 5 goals and 5 assists including 3 goals and 3 assist from Kris Letang.

League leading La Femme Nikita steamed rolled USSR 5-1.  I mean absolutely steam rolled!  16-5 in goals.  25-5 in assists.  17 to -23 in +/-.  16-3 in PPP.  16 PPP!  This team is rolling. Tarasenko was the First Star of the week netting 4 goals, 6 assists a +7 and 3 PPP.

AshBusters wouldn't allow the Checkers their 2nd win of the year, beating them 4-3.  It was close.  If the Checkers could get any play from their goalies, they might have pulled this off.  Ben Bishop was hurt and Fleury was winless.  AshBusters' Zibanejad had 3 goals and Couturier had 5 assists in the win.

If any game that ended 6-1 could be any closer, this would be the one.  The Assassins just couldn't catch the Mayhem in almost all the categories but was so close.  They had 3 goalie wins and .913, but Mayhem had 4 wins and .938.  They had 12 assists...but Mayhem had 15 assists.
