CFHL Week 5

It was Halloween Week in the CFHL.  Week 5 saw some close match ups...well at least for the most part besides the Husband/Wife match up between  AshBusters and La Femme Nikita...

Goon Crew vs. Checkers 3-2-1 - The big division brother rivalry saw the Crew come back from an early 6-0 deficit earlier in the week to win 3-2-1.  Goalies were brutal on both sides as there was only 1 win between both teams and neither team posted a SV% above .900.

Assassins vs. USSR 3-3 - These two teams split the categories but USSR still remains tops in the league.  They smacked the Assassins a bit with 52 hits, including 13 from thug Evander Kane.

Huberdeau had 4 goals for Mayhem!

California Raisins vs. Mayhem on Ice 3-3 - Another tie between the expansion Raisins and Mayhem.  Mayhem scored an impressive 14 goals, getting 4 goals from Huberdeau and 3 each from Svechnikov and Tkachuk.  They also had 4 goalie wins between Binnington and Bobrovsky.

AshBusters vs. La Femme Nikita 6-0 - In the big blow out of the week, the AshBusters could be sleeping on the couch after that whipping.  And this was even with an outstanding week by Nikita center Elias Pettersson who had 3 goals, 6 assists, 4 PPP and 4 hits.

Holtby was big for the Mambas

The Greek Empire vs. Krampus Carols  4-2 - The Greek Empire have managed to put together back to back winning weeks.  They were led by Brock Boeser's 4 goals, 3 assists and 4 PPP. 

White Mambas vs. Who Gives a Puck 4-2 - The White Mambas continue to win and the defending champs Who Gives a Puck slip further down in the standings this year.  Mambas got 4 wins and .934 SV% from Holtby and Mrazek. 

Three Stars of the Week: 

Number 1 Star:  Elias Pettersson, C, La Femme Nikita - 3 goals, 6 assists, 4 PPP and 4 hits

Number 2 Star:  Brock Boeser, F, Greek Empire - 4 goals, 3 assists and 4 PPP

Number 3 Star:  Darcy Kuemper, G, AshBusters - 2 wins, .966 SV% including a shutout.

Goon of the Week:  Evander Kane, F, USSR - 13 hits

Standing updates:

Smythe: Mayhem have a slim 1 point lead in the Smythe division over the surprise team Greek Empire.  Raisins and Krampus still trying to find some consistency. 

Norris:  Crew have been in first place since the opening face off, but the Mambas have kept close and are only 2 points behind. Third place Checkers with 34 points would be leading the Smythe division...

Adams:  USSR have a comfortable 13 point lead already.  AshBusters, Nikita and Who Gives a Puck have been struggling so far to begin the season.
