Week 9 – Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

Thought we’d start off with a Christmas Carol courtesy of Facebook profiles:

Good News: Craig Cunningham is getting better 

THE WEEK IN BULLETS

• Lots of goals, shut-outs, and fights this week so point totals were high.
• EZ led the way with 47 points and is now on a 6-0 run
• EZ had four players register at least 6 points.
• T-Man and Cordy had the 2nd best weeks with 42 points and both went 3-0
• Derko had the 3rd best week with 39 points, yet went 1-2; Orv had the 2nd worst week with 24 points and also went 1-2
• Haukster is on a 12-3 run; Vinny is on a 9-3 run; Cordy’s on a 9-0 run.
• T-Man and Haukster each moved up one spot in this weeks standings
• Lots of injuries as well: GoJo & Orv each had two red + signs
• Ren & Stimpy record their first win in 7 weeks
• Pick-up for this week goes to a lottery again: R&S get 1-3, Stif gets 4 & %, and Orv gets 6….. and it is a “4” meaning Stifler gets the pick-up again this week.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Lots of big weeks; Voracek (Derko) & Karlsson (Cordy) led the way with 9 points each, Holtby (Rolphy) had 8, and Hamilton (T-Man) and Darling (R&S) each had 7…..but the POTW has to go to Shayne Gostisbehere. Anybody who gets a beer named after them is POTW hands-down!

It’s out of Conshohocken Brewing in Pennsylvania. Road Trip, Erty?

SHRAPNEL

NHL Droughts – Quick look at some NHL droughts…

SOME OFHL DROUGHTS OF NOTE:

• Active OFHL Cup drought: 12 years – VINNY
• Active OFHL being in the money drought: 12 years – VINNY
• Longest time since he had his own 1^st round pick: 6 years – T-MAN
• Longest time since he’s locked himself in a bathroom at the draft: Never – Every GM except for DERKO
• Longest time since he’s fallen down stairs at the draft: Never – Every GM except for ORV

It’s slow to start, but once it gets going these minor leaguers toss’em….

Hi- Fives! Ahh, Goons. Man, I miss those guys. And kudos to the linesmen for letting them go. The NHL’s Concussion Protocol is just one more nail in the coffin for fighting.

What’s the Concussion Protocol for this?
