New Brooklyn Hawks 20.9.129 defeated Colorado Avalanche 15.11.101
(Real: 1928 vs 1515)

The Hawks brought out the big guns this week...shame it was against Colorado and not one of the better/scummier teams like Vegas (better), Anaheim (scummier), or Wisconsin (both). Cripps was obviously the main man with his 162x1.75, but the team all around was pretty good in support. Luke Jackson starred for the Avalanche but it was without support, so they drop back down after last week's solid showing. Did adding Walsh back into the mix turn them shower?


Chicago Sharks 17.9.111 defeated Anaheim Mighty Ducks 17.8.110
(Real: 1671 vs 1644)

Going into the last match of the round, it was Chicago with Brayshaw and King against Anaheim with Switkowski and a 191 point lead. An almost insurmountable task, especially with Switkowski scoring reasonably well, but King was good and Brayshaw was insane and Chicago got home with room to wriggle.


Boston Terriers 20.11.131 defeated Ottawa Otters 15.8.98
(Real: 1962 vs 1476)

Imagine if Boston's forward line didn't combine for under 200 points (not like they had a forward score 134 as an emergency)...could've been a historic score, but they'll have to settle for a big percentage boost over Ottawa who were very poor, but I guess it's best to put up a dog's dinner of a score in a game you're almost always going to lose anyway rather than in a closer contest like last week - wish I rigged the fixture now hey. Neale as captain was obviously the catalyst for the big score, while Ottawa also failed to combine for 200 points between their forward four and their last two midfielders didn't fare any better (27 and 39).


San Francisco Grizzlies 15.16.106 lost to Houston Bombers 17.11.113
(Real: 1583 vs 1699)

Speaking of forward lines combining for under 200 points...mine managed 285, so suck it (thanks to Riewoldt and Rankine being too injured to suck). But Heeney managed half of that on his own and the Jacks in Crisp and Sinclair performed well down back, while Houston's trophy case manager, Jack Shi,t, watched on.


Carolina Panthers 20.5.125 defeated Quito Quetzals 19.10.124
(Real: 1880 vs 1857)

This looked like Quito's game to lose, and I had teed up a great idea for a write-up in that case...but they choked it away as that write-up idea went on the to-do list for next week if they can actually win a game (spoiler alert: they will win next week), just pls remind me to do it. Luke Ryan carried Carolina to the win, while U3 Milo's score was literally the difference here.


Wisconsin Cockerels 20.12.132 defeated Las Vegas Sinners 20.7.127
(Real: 1981 vs 1908)

Shame.
