CFHL Cherry Cup




The Who Gives a Puck are now 2 time Cherry Cup Champions after upsetting the heavily favored La Femme Nikita 5-2!


They really took control early after the first week of competition and had Nikita on their heels the rest of the Championship.  Nikita did close the gap to 4-3 by Saturday, the last day of games.  Their only hope was goal tending.  The 6 wins they got from Vasilevskiy and Price came along with a sub par Save % of .903.  They needed the Puck goalies to have a terrible day in net on Saturday to try to win SV% and tie the game.  That would not happen.  Instead the Puck got 8 hits on Saturday to the Nikita's 2 to take the lead in Hits and sealing the victory 5-2. 

Leon Draisaitl was the Cherry Cup MVP netting 7 goals including a hat trick along with 3 assists for the Puck.  His teammate in Edmonton, Connor McDavid had 3 goals and 5 assists to help with the victory. 

For La Femme Nikita, Stamkos and Kucherov (the leagues MVP), did what they could combining for 10 goals, 7 assists, and a +8.  But when it came down to it, the Puck got more production across all their players than Nikita.  6 of the Puck players had 3 goals or more compared to Nikita's 3.  Puck had 6 players tally 5 assists or more compared to only 2 from Nikita.  A disappointing end for La Femme Nikita, who really looked unstoppable at times.
