CFHL Week 7

This week only one match up was lopsided.  Most games were either tied or only separated by one category.  That's a recipe to keep standings tight.

Look at what happened in Week 7:

California Raisins vs. Goon Crew 3-3 - The Raisins came to play and went toe to toe with the top team in the league.  William Karlsson led the Raisins with 4 goals and 3 assists.  Crew's lead in the Norris division is now only one point. 

Karlsson (71) had a big week for Raisins

Greek Empire vs. Assassins 3-2-1 - The Greek Empire continue to surprise and remain in first place in the Smythe division after beating the Assassins.  Goalie were strong for the Empire.  Lehner and Raanta combined for 2 wins and .927 SV%.  Assassins laid the wood though hitting the Empire 58 times, including 18 from Tom Wilson.

Krampus Carols vs. La Femme Nikita 3-2-1 - Amazingly these two teams tied in hits at 41.  Both had players with double digit hits.  Nikita had Lindholm with 15 hits (no other skater stats, true goon) and Ovechkin had 14 hits for the Krampus.

Ove can be nasty

White Mambas vs. Checkers 3-2-1 - Mambas continue to creep closer and closer to first place in the Norris division.  They now only trail the Crew by one.  They had great net minder play between Holtby and Mrazek.  They combined for 4 wins and .922 SV%.

Mayhem on Ice vs. USSR 3-2-1 - Wait, what's this?  The USSR have had 2 losing weeks in a row?  Nathan MacKinnon led the Mayhem with a huge week scoring 4 goals, 3 assists and 2 PPP plus 6 hits.

AshBusters vs. Who Gives a Puck  5-1 - Rough week for the defending champ Puck losing to the MIA AshBusters despite hitting them 55 times (12 from Blais and 13 from Gudas.  Will this wake up AshBuster ownership?

Three Stars of the Week:

Number One Star: Connor McDavid, C, White Mambas - 3 goals, 7 assists and 5 PPP (third time Number One Star of the Week)

Number Two Star:  Nathan MacKinnon, C, Mayhem on Ice - 4 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP and 6 hits

Number Three Star:  Leon Draisaitl, F, Checkers - 2 goals, 7 assists, 4 PPP and 2 hits

Goon of the Week:  Tom Wilson, F, Assassins - 18 hits

Next Weeks Big Game:  Goon Crew at White Mambas - With the White Mambas only one point behind the banged up Crew, the Mambas could take control of the Norris division with a decisive victory.

Oh Canada...
