Jiminy Shplickets! What a nuts of a match! I mean, you talk about a team that was in DESPERATE NEED of a win, you gotta talk about the Bullfrogs. And they did. Oh they won by a lot all right. Evgeni Malkin even scored eight points and that STILL wasn't enough for Evan to win it this week! Steven Stamkos had five points and Pavel Datsyuk had four points for The Bullfrogs who got the biggest win of the whole entire week of POH6. Mike Smith and Henrik Lundqvist each scored a shutout for the Bull Frogs.The Slanderers beat the Bears, 5-3
You wanna talk about a game that was a match up between two great teams who were just duking it out completely? This is that game, and the Slanderers got that victory like they meant it. Mainly they got that victory because of the goaltenders playing better than the Bears ones. I mean, you wanna talk about a great week? How about Jimmy Howard AND Antti Niemi having less than 2.00 GAA this week. And as if that isn't enough, how about the 120 shots the Slanderers put towards those nets out there this week. You just can't get much better than that if you ask me this time.Tim Thomas got a shutout for those Bears, but it wasn't quite enough to make it a great week for him out there.The Lipsuckers beat the Moose, 6-3
I'm going to say something and you have to admit that you won't judge me for it...the Lipsuckers could be one of the best teams in the Princes of Hockey. They didn't get all the offensive victories, but they got just enough and the goaltending was great enough because the Moose weren't very good that week this time. They had no victories! And they had a GAA over 4.00! Talk about a no-show. I mean, Jordan Eberle DID have a pretty nice week with six points himself and not to mention Ryan Nugent-Hopkins who had five points of his own. On the bright side, Jonas Hiller only allowed 13 goals in three starts...not as bad as you might think. Okay fine I was just joshin' around that is pretty bad. The Lipsuckers are #1 in the Fleury Division, while the Moose aren't too shabby themselves at 28-24.The Buls beat the Wasps, 6-3
Gosh talk about a bad team! Look at the Wasps lately, will ya? They've had exactly zero wins since they won in week one against those Shtonsters. You think those Buls felt bad about those Wasps? Heck no! They took full advantage of the struggles and got themselves another win. They are unbeaten in five weeks! And you know what, they have that #1 seed on their backs again all-the-sudden. Marc-Andre Fleury and Carey Price are the best 1-2 punch in the goaltending of all the league. Even though Nicklas Backstrom got five points by himself, that wasn't going to win the week in its own right...well, obviously. Ryan Getzlaf and Jamie Benn had four points and that was enough if you ask Joel Hafnor about it! The NorthStars beat the Villains, 4-3
Honestly, who'd have thought this one was coming? If you want the truth, it was a pretty big surprise to me. If you think Sidney Crosby cures all ills you are probably mistaken, just look at this result for proof! Everything looks like it should be going Vancouver's way, but not so fast. The NorthStars got all those wins in goaltending stats, and you might've thought that would be enough for a win this week and you were right. If you're the Villains, better luck next week. Actually, who knows maybe things might turn around all the sudden.Question of the Week:
Could the best teams be really doing it this time? Well, we are more than 33.3 percent of the way past the regular season line and welp, some of those teams really are doing better than the ones who find themselves down towards the bottom. Well, better get going if you hope to find that playoffs.
