CFHL Week 2

 Week 2 Action...


Goon Crew get a better showing this week against the Assassins winning 4-2 despite Assassins' forward Pastrnak's 4 goals.  Tom Wilson led the way for the Crew with 2 goals, 3 assists and 9 hits and they were strong in the net between "King of the" Hill and Jake "the snake" Oettinger. 



Slapshots and Raisins skated to a 3-3 tie, second tie for the Slapshots.  Slapshot netminder Darcy Kuemper had two wins with 1 shutout and a .985 SV% in the win.  Slapshots also got 24 assists, 5 from Mitch Marner!

Checkers brought the heat on the boards after losing last week to hits, by getting 55 hits this week!  Unfortunately for them that was the only category they would win against the Space Monkey Mafia.  

The White Mambas came down to earth as they faced the defending cup champs Greek Empire.  The Empire prevailed 4-2 in a game that only saw 1 goalie win between the two teams.  ("What about" Bobrovsky had the one win for the Empire)

And finally the Krampus Carols get the win against Who Gives a Puck 3-2-1 in a tight one.  While the Mambas and Empire had no goaltending, this game had all goal tending with both teams notching 3 wins each, with the Krampus beating the Puck in SV% .946 vs .937! 


Goalie of the Week:  Darcy Kuemper, Slapshots, 2 wins .985 SV%


Goon of the Week:  Will Cuylle, F, Checkers, 17 hits


Skater of the Week:  Alex DeBrincat, F, Raisins, 2 goals, 3 assists, 3 PPP, 2 hits
