CFHL Week 8 Recap

The Enforcers vs. Own Goal King (4-2)

Stewart posting for one of his 5 goals!

The Enforcers are becoming quite the...um...enforcers.  They continue to cut through the competition and this week the Goal King who lead the Norris Division went down 4-2.  The Enforcers put up incredible offensive stats: 10 goals, 23 assists, +13 and 53 PIM!  Enforcer forward Chris Stewart "Little" was player of the week with 5 goals, 2 assists, and a +5.  Jake "the Snake" Muzzin was the Goon of the week too, pounding the Goal Kings for 25 minutes.  The win extends the Enforcer's lead over 1st in the league now at 6 points. 

Goon Crew vs USSR (3-2-1)

Goon Crew fight each other

The Crew have managed to claw their way back into the playoff picture sitting at the 6th and final playoff spot.  The game was 5-0-1 at one point until the USSR made a come back on Sunday scoring 3 goals and a +1 compared to the 1 goal and +1 posted by the Crew in a tight game.  Cody Hodgson tallied 2 of those 3 goals.  Not too often do teammates fight, but they are the GOON Crew.  Center's Marchand "Little Ball of Hate" and Mike Ribeiro squared off in a rare fight for both of them.  The USSR are still in the middle of the playoff hunt sitting at 3rd and only 2 points behind the Bunnies in the Smythe Division.

Bunnies vs Mayhem (3-2-1)

Fluffy Bunny Crazy Fan!

In another close game, the Bunnies managed to hang on and take the match against the Mayhem.  Its good to see Chris Kunitz out of the Bunnies dog house (how he got in there is beyond me), He tallied a goal, 3 assists, a +3 and 2 PIM.  Key however for the Bunnies was Byfuglien (man that name is jacked) as the gentle giant scored 6 assists.  Mayhem had some fire power too with 4 goals from Blake Wheeler and 3 more from Phil Kessel.  Mayhem still in the playoff hunt in 5th overall, but 10 points behind division leader Enforcers.

Kraken vs. AshBusters (5-1)

Someone has released the Kraken!  After a poor start, the Kraken has won its second straight week and this one was a blow out 5-1, winning all categories except assists.  Leading the way for the Kraken in the offensive zone was Tyler Seguin who had 2 goals, 1 assist, and +3.  But the real story of the Kraken was their goaltending, where they manged to tally 5 wins.  3 from Fluery, and 2 from Luongo.  Hey I just noticed that the Kraken have two of the greasiest goaltenders in the leauge.  Grease Balls!  What can I say about the AshBusters.  They truly have fallen on hard times, with twins and tax season, the team is in shambles.

A pair of grease balls in net!

Checkers vs SLVB (3-2-1)

The defending champion Checkers won a game that wasn't as close as the 3-2-1 score indicated.  The skater stats were not close.  Checkers won goals 5-3, yes SLVB only scored 3 goals, assists 14-8 and +/- +5 to -2.  Goalies for these teams have seen better days as they tied in wins, only 1 and SV% for both teams were below .900.  In fact the Checkers only played with one goalie (Jonathan Quick).  Ryan Miller for SLVB had no wins in any of his starts.

Dupuis celebrating one of his 3 goals

Assassins vs Krampus Carols (3-2-1)

The Krampus Carols have slowed down some after a fast start at the beginning of the season and are currenty struggling some being upset by the Assassins.  The Assassins were lead by Pascal Dupuis, who had 3 goals, an assist and +5.  This game was a battle of goal tenders as both teams had 3 goalie wins but the Krampus edged the Assassins in SV% .967 - .941.  Bobrovsky continues his impressive season posting a .983 SV% for the Krampus.
