CFHL Week 10 2022-2023

 Checkers stumble but continue to have big lead in division.  Raisins continue to climb and are gaining on the Crew.  Huge week for Who Gives a Puck as they leap frog the Space Monkey Mafia!

Greek Empire             3

Goon Crew                 2

Tie                              1

Without the help of the Goon Crew Bruin players, it was tough sledding.  The Bruins only had one game, thus the best players for the Crew were not on the ice.  The Empire took advantage of this getting the win, while it was still tight.  Elias Pettersson led the Empire with 4 goals, 2 assists and 5 hits.

Slapshots                 1

Raisins                    4

Tie                           1

The California Raisins continue to gain on the Crew and are only 3 points back in the Cherry Division.  This week they defeated the usually tough Slapshots.  Maybe some  of the favorite team magic is wearing off for them.  They only had 13 hits to the Raisins 55 led by defenseman K'Andre Miller's 14 checks!

Checkers                 2

Space Monkey        4

The Checkers got tripped up this week by the Space Monkey Mafia 4-2.  The SMM were able to defeat them in hits 40-37!  This might have been the first time the Checkers lost in this category.  Connor McDavid led with 12 hits!  Now come on.  Is he going to start hitting everyone, AND score goals and assists and PPP??

Krampus Carols         0

Who Gives a Puck      6

I think it was the Krampus Carols who didn't give a puck as the Puck swept all the categories!  Zibanejad led them in goals with 5 while Bo Horvat (now playing with the NYI) had 3 goals, 2 PPP and 4 hits.  Puck was tough in the net too as both goalies, Husso and Oettinger had 2 wins and combined for a SV% of .941.  A great week all around for the Puck.

White Mambas            1

Assassins                     5

The Assassins got a bye week playing the White Mambas this week as he has several players out and a goalie playing in the minors... Panarin was the highlight of the Assassins netting 4 goals and 5 assists.
