CFHL Update Push for the Playoffs

 Its time for that push for the playoffs in the CFHL!  The two division winners get the top two seeds and then the next 4 teams in the standings round it out.  We only have 3 more weeks in the regular season, so now is the time!

It would appear that the Assassins are pretty much a lock for the Number 1 seed with 96 points, 15 more than the next team!  They have three players with over 30 goals led by Draisaitl and Robertson both with 34 goals.  Draisaitl also leads the team in assists (58) and PPP (40). 

Space Monkey Mafia lead the Smyth division but only by 2 points above the Slapshots.  These guys last week got 6 goalie wins for the week.  Yes that's right, 6! And of course against the Goon Crew.  Lane Hutson on their blue line is having a monster of a season and leads the team in assists with 53!  That is huge for a D-man. 

The next four would be Slapshots, defending champ Who Gives a Puck, Raisins and Greek Empire.  Only 5 points separate this group from 3-6 seeds.  On the outside looking in only 1 point back is the Goon Crew and the Krampus Carols.  The Goon Crew before last week was sitting comfortably in a playoff spot, until they lost 6-1 to the Space Monkeys.  

The Goon Crew have some serious goal scoring issues (only 4 last week) but with a healthy Gibson in net could try to turn it around.  They have a huge match up this week with the Raisins.  The Raisins have enjoyed the play of their young outstanding center Celebrini who has tallied 32 goals to go along with his 57 helpers!

The Slapshots are looking to take over the Smythe division spot if they can catch the Space Monkey.  Slapshots are full of "Hanson" type players with 4 players with over 100 hits led by Brenden Dillon's 158 hits!

Tall task this week for the Greek Empire as they take on the Assassins.  But when you have Connor McDavid anything is possible.  McDavid has 73 assists and 43 PPP so far on the season!  The Empire also have 6 players with over 40 assists, including 3 defenseman!
