CFHL: Playoff Race Update

 The final stretch to the playoffs is underway!  In week 12 Who Gives a Puck were way out of playoff contention, but after 3 weeks they have roared back into the playoffs and sit at the 3rd seed!  You can thank the Crew for that one.  In Week 14 they lost to the Puck 0-6!

But now we are in the middle of Week 16, the final regular season week.  The Greek Empire will be the top seed in the league and basically will have two byes.  This week against the last place Slapshots then next weeks playoff bye.  The Empire are very confident that they will have no problem in the playoffs and bring the Cup to California!  Careful there bearded wonder...

Greek Empire fans getting fired up for the playoffs

Monkey Mafia will be the two seed with a 9 point lead over the Puck.  Monkey currently have a 5-0-1 lead over the Krampus Carols but the game is still tight in goals, assists and PPP, so this could certainly change.  Krampus just need to keep it close to stay in the playoffs as they currently sit 5th with 88 points.  

Better watch out for the Monkey Mafia

Speaking of the tight race we have for spots 4 through 6...

4. Raisins with 88 points are leading the Puck 4-2 but very early, with slim leads in hits and PPP.

5. Krampus Carols with 88 points as mentioned above.  

6. Assassins with 87 points hold the final playoff spot.  They lead the Mambas by 1 point and the Crew by 2.  Currently they are losing to the Crew 4-0-2.  Again it is very early, but the Crew have a commanding lead in hits (23-6) and a decent lead in Assists (5-2) and goals (6-4), but this can all change in a heart beat. 

7. White Mambas with 86 points are battling the Checkers and losing 1-3-2.  A loss here and playoff hopes go bye bye.

Light night tonight in the NHL, but Thursday there are 14 games and Saturday 15 games!  Hang onto your hockey helmets, should be a wild ride to the playoffs!
