Tuesday GOTN
Florida (15-23-1 31p) at Montreal (17-20-2 36p) 9:45pm
With the last playoff spot still up for grabs and Florida just 5 points out with 6 games left to play this match-up with Montreal is huge for them if they plan on making it into that last spot.

MTL leads the match-up 4-1

I am going to say this might be the lineup

G KQ31
So coming into Tuesday Night Montreal is 2-1 after Monday’s games while Florida is also 2-1 after Monday’s games.
Montreal has dominated the regular season matchup as of now and with the current lineup they have posted I do not see that changing. Florida has played a great season but it looks like they will be going on vacation after Friday night. So Montreal with a win here will be punching their ticket into the playoffs
Prediction – MTL 7-3

SPNHL S38 Week 5 Monday GOTN
Arizona Coyotes (32-4-0 1st in the West, 1st in the league) @ New Jersey Devils (28-8-0 1st in the East, 2nd in the league)
Tonight’s matchup includes the best in the West up against the best in the East. The Yotes are looking to create some separation on the Presidents Trophy race while the Devils are looking create some separation on the rest of the East. Both teams had an excellent 8-1 week 4 which one of these squads will possibly be handed their first L of the week?
Head to Head this season:
Game 1: 4-1 New Jersey W
Game 2: 6-3 Arizona W
Starting Lineups:
Arizona Coyotes:
LW- bluedevil631
C- xToxiCBoY-_-
RW- Fishhure
LD- sendthemnoods
RD- Xtracts07
G- TopCheeseNeon
New Jersey Devils:
LW- TrueLegend07
C- cHELIOS-7x
RW- bstieboydp
LD- Cuban1616
RD-DetAjax17
G-thrice01
Quick stats:
Looking like the Coyotes are playing line 1 (I mean the whole team is basically Line 1) and the Devils are going to be matching it with their Game 7 lineup.
This Coyotes forward line is scary, as a group they average over 4PPG and on defence Noods and tracts average almost 2 PPG while also putting on the clamps. In net Neon holds a 12-1 record with a 78 save%. The Devils forward group is not far behind, league leading scorer True plays with Chelios and Bstie to create one of the more solid forward lines in the league. Ajax and Cuban on defence add that vet clamps presence, they will have their hands full but if anyone can do it, it’s this pair. In net, thrice is having a Vezzy caliber season with a 17-5 record with an 81 save%.
Prediction:
If the Coyotes want to win this game, they’re going to have to play a good system 200-foot game. If they try and play run and gun against this larger Devils roster, they will get stomped. The Devils need to take advantage of their opportunities while playing physical against this highly skilled Coyotes team.
End of the day, I have faith in my squad and know if we play smart and well, we can beat any team in the SPNHL. The Devils are no easy opponent but I think Toxiczona will come out on top.
Score Predictions:
Tommy- ARI 4-3, Cuban- NJ 4-3
Stats Predictions:
Fishhure: 2 goals 2 assists
xToxiCBoY-_- 3 assists
bluedevil631: 2 goals
sendthemnoods: 2 assists

Bstieboydp: 2 goals 1 assist
DetAjax17: 1 assist
TopCheeseNeon: 12 shots against 9 saves
Thrice01: 20 shots against 16 saves

Week 4 Eastern Power Rankings
1) New Jersey Devils (28-8-0) Week 4: 8-1-0
With one week left in the season the Devils are 10 points up on the rest of the East and will probably maintain this top spot. Their only loss of the week was a 5-2 game against the Maple Leafs on Friday night. True still doing his thing, the depth is also still performing, defence and goaltending still maintaining their play. Looking like this this team will play the Islanders or Canadiens in round 1 either squad is not going to give them a hard time. They should use this week to build some confidence and momentum for the playoffs. They do play tough teams in Seattle, Arizona and Toronto this week so they will get tested.
Record Prediction: 34-10-1 (6-2-1 week 5)
2) Toronto Maple Leafs (22-12-2) Week 4: 7-2-0
At the deadline Toslick added 2 vets in NowYoDead and DPtickler who were teammates with slick just last season, great pickups (For basically nothing). The Leafs went 1-2 on Monday night but ended the week going 6-0, this squad is possibly one of the deeper ones in the league now with very little weak links. Their studs in Grammy, Slick, Semple, Shep, Chico, Mike, Chad (the list goes on) will help give this squad another stellar week to close the season. Looking like this this team will play the Islanders or Canadiens in round 1 either squad is not going to give them a hard time. With games against New Jersey, Arizona and Seattle it is unlikely they go 9-0 but who knows. They should use this week to build some confidence and momentum for the playoffs.
Record Prediction: 30-13-2 (8-1-0 week 5)
3) New York Islanders (16-18-2) Week 4: 4-5-0
At the deadline, the Isles were busy, they added to their forward and defensive depth acquiring Owen and Clark but, their goaltending took a hit. After another mediocre 4-5 week, this squad is going to limp into the playoffs and have the pleasure of playing either New Jersey or Toronto. They do have a really tough week playing Seattle, St Louis, Colorado, New Jersey, Montreal and Toronto. This team is certainly going to have to pull up their socks if they want to keep that #3 seed with Montreal right on their tails. Icey and Pens will have to step up in the crease to match the play Eddie provided for them.
Record Prediction: 19-23-3 (3-5-1 week 5)
4) Montreal Canadiens (15-19-2) Week 4: 5-4-0
Another GM who was busy working the phones was ELRookie. He did a nice retool and this team addressed a need they had with defensive depth BUT it costed them most of their goal scoring. Outside of Royal, Rookie, KQ and Se7entee the whole roster is different from the start of week 4 adding 3 bigger names, Execution, DrWally and Chief2step. I have to give Rook some credit, the team definitely looks like they will be tougher to play against, props to you. With games against, Colorado, St Louis, Arizona, Florida, Toronto, New Jersey and New York, they’re going to have to secure some wins if they want to climb the ladder and reach that #3 seed. Goal scoring and goaltending do have some question marks but I feel that overall the team has gotten better.
Record Prediction: 19-23-3 (4-4-1 week 5)
5) Florida Panthers (13-22-1) Week 4: 2-7-0
Unfortunately for Cook, this team is on the downhill, since Tuesday of week 3 this team is an abysmal 3-12-0. The boys in Florida are still in striking distance for a playoff spot but I do believe the roster has gotten weaker and need to change their ways in order to hop into a playoff spot. Newly acquired Kap and Rambo are guys Cook will likely look to drive this team’s offence with older faces like fivestar, cook and brucelee will probably be there for support. With games against Seattle, Colorado, St Louis, Montreal, New Jersey, New York and Toronto, every game is looking like a must win for this squad. Sorry Florida, I think you guys will be golfing come Saturday.
Record Prediction 16-27-2 (3-5-1 week 5)
6) Philadelphia Flyers (6-30-0) Week 4: 2-7-0
Alright team say it with me. THREE. MORE. DAYS. It was not a pretty season for the Flyers but obtaining that first overall pick is a goal that seems like will be alright. Unfortunately for you guys the La Kings are not that far ahead of you guys, I don’t condone tanking but at this point, just show up try your best and have some fun y’all got this.
Record Prediction: 8-37-0 (2-7-0 week 5)

West Week 4 Power Rankings
One week left until playoffs and plenty of teams making moves to prepare here are how things played out this week in the West leading up to the final week of the Regular season
#1 Arizona 8-1 for week 4
Arizona with yet another strong week and only one loss to St. Louis 6-4 as their only blemish. Going into week 5 they have the opportunity to win the President Trophy for best record. Week 5 also presents this team an opportunity to measure up possible Stanley Cup Final opponents with games versus NJ and Toronto Monday. Other than Monday this team is going through the motions finishing up the season and really gearing up for the playoffs in what seems as an inevitable appearance in the Finals.
Week 5 Predication: 7-2
#2 St. Louis 7-2 for week 4
St. Louis answered a lot of questions this week after having a 5-4 week in week 3 by going 7-2 in week 4 with losses to Seattle 6-5 Monday and Toronto 3-1 Friday they avenged the loss to Seattle later this week with a 6-5 win and also added a big win versus Arizona 6-4. For week 5 St. Louis has locked the #2 seed up and have really only 3 games that can hand them losses against Arizona, Seattle and Colorado who are all playoff teams. With the playoffs around the corner and this lineup finding it’s chemistry could lead into some really sweaty hockey next week.
Week 5 Predication: 8-1
#3 Seattle 6-3 for week 4
Seattle had a nice week but took 3 losses to the top two teams in the West (Arizona loss2 and St. Louis split 1-1). But they weren’t honestly that bad in those losses. But the big thing this team can takeaway from week 4 is they can compete with those top two teams and could definitely make some noise in 2 weeks when the playoffs start. Week 5 presents this team with an option. Battle out to hold on to the 3 seed and face St. Louis in round one or take the week off slide down to the 4 seed and play Arizona. With their schedule for week 5 lined up with 7 games against all teams in the playoffs they will have the opportunity to measure themselves going into the playoffs and making a decision on what path they’d like to take
Week 5 Predication: 4-5
#4 Colorado 4-5 for week 4
Going into week 4 the question about this team was “Are they able to compete with the top teams going to the playoffs?” The answer “No” with losses to all the teams in the playoffs with winning records and wins only against the bottom two teams in the West. Colorado has locked up the 4 spot in the playoffs and depending on what Seattle does in week 5 they may move into the 3 spot but will they figure out what they need to do to play against the teams like Arizona or St. Louis to push them over the top and make a run. Week 5 presents itself as a possible strong week as they play some very winnable games that then lead up to 3 games vs the top west teams setting up the final measure for this team.
Week 5 Predication: 6-3
#5 LA 1-8 for week 4
Moving up to the 5 spot is LA. Great job by this team showing up to just about every game this week with only 1 forfeit. Their only win was against Chicago but a win is a win regardless of the opponent. They almost beat NYI on Friday also so they got some traction going into week 5. Which for this team getting to this point without a change of GM and only one forfeit all season is kudos to Sports for still keeping his commitment to the league and to at least put guys on the ice every night looking to play. Regardless of what anyone says or feel I appreciate the effort Sports and I personally want to say Thank you buddy and keep up the amazing job. Lots of people think it’s easy being a GM until they are and many quit or give up and ruin the experience for many players who played on the team and you’ve done a phenomenal job pushing through and to all the players who played for you or filled in I tip my hat to you for playing and being available and I am sure you’ll find a spot on a roster next season.
Week 5 Prediction: 1-8
#6 Chicago 0-9 for week 4
Chicago is this weeks “Under New Management” team as hypey is out and Bmarche is in
This team forfeited 5 of their first 6 games week 4 and under Bmarche played all 3 Friday and my hope is that he gets enough guys to play all 9 for week 5. I understand that there is currently a small pool of players to fill in if there are availability issues but if
Coffey-lidstrom, Dedstarks, shrEd_Slice, xLoyalty96, donutspenton, Shock_r can show up and give Bmarche guys to play and they don’t forfeit any games it’s a huge plus and a great finish for this team. Week 5 gives Chicago a shot at possibly 2 winnable games and an opportunity to throw monkey wrench against any of the top playoff teams
Week 5 Predication: 1-8
So week 4 is in the books and week 5 drama at this point comes down to the final 8 teams that are making the playoffs getting their teams situated for a run at the Cup. I will not have a week 5 power ranking but I will have a West Round 1 playoff matchup article.
Here’s to hopefully playing an entire week without a GM switch or a forfeit.

SPNHL WEEK 4 FRIDAY GOTN
ARI v SEA 9:45PM
Friday’s matchup is between 2 out of the top three teams in the West and if Seattle can win all 3 tonight and finish next week strong they can move I to the number 2 spot. But if any team has something to say about it it’s this Arizona squad who wants to make sure the West knows who’s the best team is and it’s them
Current Lines for the game tonight
STL
LW – bluedevil
C – Fluri
RW – Fishhure
LD – Xtracts
RD – Ricky69bobby
G – TopCheeseNeon
SEA
LW – Reaper
C – Konecny
RW – LeCupidon
LD – beaster
RD – CaptCanada
G – Duckyy315
Quick Stats
Arizona comes in 5-1 record this week with 30 goals scored in those 6 games
With Fluri 97 points, Fish 78 points and bluedevil 72 points. There is no doubt they will continue that scoring tonight. Even xtracts has 30 points on D.
TopCheeseNeon has a 77 SV% this year and with that team scoring he won’t need to worry about giving up any goals that could cost his team a game
Seattle comes in with a 4-2 record so far this week with losses only to Arizona and St. Louis and scored 20 goals in those 6 games
LeCupid 101 points and Reaper 91 points and Konecny 81 points are this teams top scoring line and they will need it to keep up with Arizona
Duckyy is in net with a record of 10-7 with a 69 SV% which is higher from earlier in the week.
Prediction
Arizona is definitely the best team in the West and in my opinion the best team in the league this year. They have already won and earlier battle with this team this week 6-5
Seattle may have made some late additions to better their team and chances to make a run at the cup but I just think it’s not enough at this point to dethrone this Arizona team
Arizona 7-3

SPNHL Season 38 12/08/2020 Game of the Night
Montreal Canadiens 5th in East (12-16-2) @ New Jersey Devils 1st in East (23-7-0)
Tonight’s matchup includes one team battling for their playoff lives and the other looking to create some distance from the rest of the pact. Can Montreal turn this horrible start around and turn this 1-2 start of the week around or will New Jersey come back after an embarrassing 11-3 loss to the Habs just last week?
Head to Head this season:
Game 1: 6-2 New Jersey W
Game 2: 2-1 Montreal W
Game 3: 11-3 Montreal W
Starting Lineups:
Montreal Canadiens:
LW- CapBan_Clark1999
C- Xx_Kapanen_Xx
RW- xHAC_Rambo

New Jersey Devils:
LW- TrueLegend07
C- cHELIOS-7x
RW- NTyrell14
LD- MayhemX113
RD- Cuban1616
G- Handsome_dusty
Quick stats:
Looking like Montreal is putting out their “top” line while the Devils have decided to throw in their secondary guys.
Rambo leads the Habs with 52 points in 16GPs, Royal with 11 points and 37 takeaways in 12GPs and Pensrul066 supports a 66.99 save% (yikes). True looking to backpack his backups in this one, he’s got 113 points in 28 GPs. Cuban with 59 takeaways in 21 GPs is good enough to put him in the top 5, Dusty in the net supports a 9-3 record with a 75.29 save% nice numbers for the backup.
Prediction:
If the Habs are going to win this game, they’re going to have to put up a lot of goals, if the Devils want to win this game, they’re going to have to play a good 5-man defence game while also taking advantage of their opportunities. The lines are as dead even as it can get, Montreal’s top line pretty much matches the Devil’s line 2.
End of the day, I’m going with the team with the best player on the ice: Truelegend. The Devil’s desperately don’t want to be embarrassed like they did last week and True’s going to continue his Hart like season.
Score: NJ 4-2
Truelegend: 3 goals 1 assist
Kapanen: 1 goal 1 assist
RoyalKC: 0 goals 1 assist
Ntyrell: 0 goals 3 assists
Dusty: 15 shots against 13 saves
Pensrule066: 12 shots against 8 saves

SPNHL WEEK 4 MONDAY GOTN
STL v SEA
Tonight’s a match up of risers and fallers…Can St. Louis get back in rhythm in time for a playoff run or are the Kraken rising from the deep bottom of the standings to show that they are going to prove the haters wrong.
Current Lines for the game tonight
STL
LW – xSicKMoTioNz (TC)

LD – Matrikstl
RD – Polar
G – Jeiel
SEA
LW – Reaper
C – Yes
RW – LeCupidon
LD – beaster
RD – CaptCanada
G – Duckyy315
Quick Stats
St. Louis comes in with a 20-7 record with 40 points 2nd in the West. They have scored 141 goals and allowed 92
Kid with 99 points and Pete with 87 are two of the top 3 scores for the team playing tonight
Jeiel is the top goalie for the team posting a 9-2 record with a 75 SV%
Seattle comes in with a 14-12-1 record with 29 points 3rd in the West. They have scored 125 goals and allowed 115
LeCupid with 88 points and Reaper with 88 points are this teams two of the top 3 scores playing tonight
Duckyy is in net with a record of 8-5 with a 67 SV%
Prediction
With the two out of the 3 top scores from each team playing tonight there should be no issues with these teams being able to put some goals up. Then the questions comes to D and Net which is 50/50 split. STL is without their consistent pair of curtis and ExE but are playing their top goalie in Jeiel while for SEA they are bringing their everyday pair of CaptCanada and beaster but are playing ducky in net who’s numbers do not sit well
At the end of the day I am leaning towards the D in front of the net compared to the goalie. Teams in front of the net help good goalies look great and great goalies look like Gods.

West Week 3 Power Rankings
by Cuban
After 2 great Write ups by me and Tommy boy we’ve decided to split the power rankings into an East and West Tommy will do the East Cuban will do the West so here guys are this weeks Western Conference power rankings after week 3 enjoy
#1 Arizona 8-1 for week 3
Another great week for xToxiCBoY-_- and his Coyotes. Their only loss was to SEA 5-1 in a game that xToxiCBoY-_- didn’t have his top lineup at fwd. For the rest of the week they pretty much dominated everyone scoring 54 goals and allowing 14 goals in their wins
Week 4 is shaping up to be more of the same except for 2 games versus Seattle who beat this team week 3 it could be a 9-0 week
Week 4 Predication: 9-0
#2 Seattle 6-3 for week 3
Seattle moves up big time this week but to be honest the number 2 spot this week is a toss up for me but I gave it to Reapers team for a win against Arizona 5-1 and a strong finish Friday night scoring 31 goals in 3 games allowing 12
Obviously the additions of Yesc__ and XKonecny11X have given the Kraken some much needed fire power.
Week 4 they get to see how much fire power they have when they play Arizona twice, STL twice, Chicago twice and Colorado. Could be a really big week for a team that is still fighting for a playoff spot. 7-2 week and that playoff spot would be locked. 2-7 week and they could be outside looking in
Week 4 Predication: 4-5
#3 Colorado 7-2 for week 3
In the 3 spot we got the Avs with a strong record this week but a closer look at the week shows after wins versus STL 10-4 and SEA 4-2 the Avs loss to NJ 4-3 and TOR 6-5 and beat the lower ranked teams of MTL, FL and PHI.
Regardless of the fact of who they played they had a great week and a win vs NJ or TOR and this team would be in the 2 spot.
Looking at week 4 Colorado is in the same situation as Seattle
They have a big week with two games vs STL and Chicago then add games against Arizona, Seattle and NJ this makes it a big week for them. This has been a middle of the road balanced lineup style team. It’s time for them to show what they are capable of this week or it’s going to be a hard week 5
Week 4 Predication: 4-5
#4 St. Louis 5-4 for week 3
Under New Management (Seems to be the theme for this season)
Pistol Pete takes over the #2 team in the West but this week they are down to #4 in the Power Rankings. Obviously not a bad week at 5-4 but definitely he needs to figure out his lines and get some consistent availability from his guys.
Pete has 2 weeks to figure out his best lineup going into the playoffs. Week 3 St. Louis took a bad loss to Colorado with a lack of availability that night and a loss to Arizona when they did have their top guys. They did manage wins against LA and NYI and PHI and got a FF win vs TOR. Then Friday took Losses to NJ and MTL before putting it FL 12-2.
Going into week 4 St. Louis isn’t in jeopardy of not making the playoffs like the other 3 teams below them. They probably could loss out and still make the playoffs but in that respect it gives Pete a chance to mix it up against his Western conference foes and see what will work going into the playoffs. With two games vs SEA, COL and LA and add in a game vs ARI and TOR and CHI it makes for a great week to set things up going into week 5
Week 4 Predication: 4-5
#5 Chicago 6-3 for week 3
In the 5 spot is hypey and the Chicago Blackhawks.
At quick glance with this weeks record you say wow this team had a great week. But after a closer look into the week they had a pretty easy week with 2 FF wins then 3 wins from MTL, FL and LA that’s 5 of their 6 wins from the week. Their losses came from COL, NJ and the NYI. So with that this is why they find themselves in the 5 spot. Going into week 4 there isn’t any signs of FF and with only 1 game vs the likes of LA and MTL this is looking like a big fall from grace for Chicago. They will play SEA, COL and ARI twice and add in a game vs STL. In my opinion it’s not looking good.
Week 4 Prediction: 3-6
#6 LA 0-9 for week 3
It’s was a long week for Sportsgeek and this team as they finished the week at 0-9. With 2 weeks left Sports and this group of players need to buckle down and just put things together for next season. Guys on this roster play to showcase their talents and look to catch the eye of some GMs for next season.
In my opinion when players on teams that play out their season in these tough situations always speaks volumes to GMs when building rosters on looking for guys to count on when times are like this. So keep you heads up and finish strong LA.
Week 4 Predication: 2-7
As always everyone great week to all the teams and with 2 weeks left a lot can change as it always does in during the season. Looking forward to next week’s article and if you are upset that their wasn’t more stats don’t blame me. Ask you GM to do them in time for when Media goes to make their article he has something to reference.
Good luck next week everyone

Eastern Conference Power Rankings
by Tommy
1) New Jersey Devils (20-7-0) Week 3: 7-2-0
Pulling away from the rest of the pack, True and the Devils are still sitting pretty at the top of the East. Their only losses this week were a friday night loss to YOUR ARIZONA COYOTES and an 11-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens (wtf happened here). Regardless, this team is still looking like the favorite to come out of the East for many reasons. Offensively the team has a ton of depth and their studs are playing like studs. True’s got 104 points in 26GPs, leads the league, his right hand man Bstie has 74 in 22GPs, very outstanding stat lines. Depth wise they always have a reliable 3rd guy out there with Chelios, NTyrell and Mayhem all with 9Gps and about 3PPG. Back end is still led by Ajax and Cuban who are “quietly” putting up good seasons, Ajax is 6th in dmen scoring with 22 points and a +21 and Cuban is 3rd in takeaways with 53 and a plus 28. In net, Thrice and Dusty make a great tandem, supporting a 14-4 and 9-3 record respectively and save% ‘s of 81 (1st) and 75 (10th).
Record prediction: 33-11-1
2) Toronto Maple Leafs (15-10-2) Week 3: 2-7-0 (6FFs yikes.)
1,2,3,4,5……6 FFS, Chad is out, toslick is in. After forgetting to show up for SP earlier in the week the new look Toronto Maple Leafs had a respectful 2-1 Friday only losing to the red hot Kraken. Good news, Grammy and slick both still know how to put pucks in the net, Grams has 64 points in 13 games, slick 52 points (34 goals) in 13 games. Adding Semple and Chico and Mike is HUGE for this team. Any of them will be able to fill in on forward or defence. Speaking of Defence, Mike or Chico will likely be partnered with Shep to make a great dpair, Shep’s got 12 points and 9 games, expecting to see some firepower out of this new look roster. In net, there’s a question mark surrounding Chad who hasn’t played since week 2, but if he does decide to quit hiding, him and Devon will be a solid tandem. Dev’s got mediocre stats but is 4-2.
Record prediction: 27-15-3
3) New York Islanders (12-13-2) Week 3: 3-5-1
You want to see a mediocre hockey team, let’s take a look at Icey’s roster. Beating Chicago and LA this week plus a ff win to Toronto helps them secure this 3rd spot in the east. Pfarrcyde, Lomax and Randy all have just over 50 points at around 20 GPs respectively, Adding Pulver (31pts in 9GPs) to their roster is a nice pickup (miss you buddy love the logos). On defence PGH and Mpurch are doing all the heavy lifting, both have a 0.9ppg with 16 and 19 Gps respectively and are both top 10 in takeaways with 39 (10th) and 54 (2nd). In net Eddie (5-7, 71%) and Icey (6-7, 72%) is meh, nothing to write home about. This team has to start playing better if they want to keep this playoff spot.
Record prediction: 20-22-3
4) Florida Panthers (11-15-1) Week 3: 4-5-0
Onto the next mediocre team! Cook’s Panthers went 3-0 Monday night, but went 1-5 between Tuesday and Friday. This team hangs onto the 4th and final playoff spot but needs to step it up because Montreal is right behind them. Offensively Triix (Chief2step) leads the way with 45 points in 22 GPs, Cook in 9 GPs has a 2.7ppg which is respectable but there is a lack of supporting cast up top. On defence it isn’t sunshine and rainbows either, fivestarcoock with 12 points in 10 GPs is decent being paired with execution is also solid but will it be enough to go on a win streak? In net they don’t have a single player with more than 6 games, Rolla with 6GPs has a 75save%, Punjabidancer with 2GPs also has a 75% but there’s definitely question marks surrounding this teams goaltending.
Record prediction: 18-23-4
5) Montreal Canadiens (10-15-2) Week 3: 4-5-0
3rd and final mediocre team in the East, bleu blanc rouge! The Habs went 4-5 this week as well, after looking at some of the scores, they can definitely put up some goals but mannnnnnn do they suck at playing defence. Rambo leads the team with 52 points in 16 GPs (someone get this guy a medal), Kap (43 in 16) and Cap (33 in 9) look to fill out the top forward line Se7entee (28 in 14) as a 4th forward is really good. Defence other than RoyalKC is horrendous, does this roster even have anyone else outside of Elrookie? (Both rook and royal have too many GAs in not a lot of GPs), Junepon has 1 GP all season SMH. In net Pensrule is getting lit the fuck up with a 66save% someone get this poor man some defence! If this team somehow sneaks into the playoffs it’ll be a short experience.
Record prediction: 18-25-2
6) Philadelphia Flyers (4-23-0) Week 3: 2-7-0
The Flyers won 2 games this week! This total doubles what they had on the season, beating Montreal on Monday night and Los Angeles on Friday night. Nothing pretty going on with this roster statistic wise. Shout out to the players showing up for the team, Zach, Mike, Koz, Prod, Turd, buckley, josh, Jelm props to you all. Serg is just trying to do his best to complete the season in one piece, positive part only 2 more weeks (6 game days) then you can enjoy 1st overall pick!
Record prediction: 9-35-1
