The Wittmen are a deep and healthy team. Yesterday I looked at the projected totals and the Schizzarks were favoured to win by two points. After last night's incredible 15 points without so much as a goalie win, the Wittmen are the favourites. Daniel Sedin is on pace for an NHL-best 104 points.
Although the Schizzarks and Krugars have better points-per-game (.78 and .77 respectively), the Wittmen have been incredibly lucky with injuries, with their scoring roster having played more games than any other team, and in some cases, almost a hundred more games.
Elsewhere in the league, the Powder Rangers won their battle with the Mackhawks for fifth place and have set their sights on fourth. The Teeyotes had a terrible week. Tim Thomas has not lived up to expectations post-trade (he has two more points than still-concussed Jonas Hiller would have had since the trade), and the defencemen combined for three points this week.
Finally, the Micaleks have successfully nose-dived to 12, where they hope to stay in order to get the fourth overall pick. As their GM once remarked, "if you're not top four, you want to be in Roos' spot."
The Powder Rangers' GM was recently quoted as saying "I've managed to do in one year what the Maple Leafs' successive GMs have failed to do for the better part of the past decade - rebuild on the fly."
