We're starting to enter the NHL winter hockey doldrums, where the playoff races aren't yet particularly interesting, the trade deadline is ages away, and even the on-ice product lacks a lot of energy.
That's why we have the KL, though, right???
Even here, we have much the same as last week:
- The Vanrooser Canicks are still exactly 111 points out of 1st place (which is actually remarkable, since it means they have had a stellar week).
- The gap between 8th and 9th has grown from 9 points to 10 points.
- The top 5 is unchanged, with the Fylanders just barely out of the money again
- The Flyers are still about 30 points ahead of everybody
- The Moilers have had a strong week, breaking a three-way tie for 6th on the strength of a 30 point week. In typical December hockey fashion, this doesn't actually change their position at all, they just get to say "I'm in sole possession of 6th" instead of "tied for 6th"
- Uh I guess the WBS Parkers and the Quebec Rordiques switched positions
- Seriously that it
Dec-7-13 The Schizzarks drop Cory Conacher and add Nick Bonino
Conacher hasn't scored a point in 8 games and hasn't scored a goal since October 15. The dude has seen his ice time slashed and he may be playing his way out of a job.
Bonino on the other hand has 22 points and would be a key part of any KL team's roster had he been drafted at the start.
Great pickup -- I was wondering when someone was going to pull the trigger.
My squad has had a pretty shitty couple weeks, but looking at the Quebec Rordiques recent run makes me feel better. In just three weeks, the've gone from 39 points back of first to 97!!!! Also of significance is the Powder Rangers fall back to the pack to really bring 3rd place into the sights of the middle bunch.
