Bladerunners/Highlanders Effectively Tied; Ramapithicines Latest Team To 700pts

I really ought to put both the Highlander and Bladerunner logos atop the Predator Cup Standings today - they are that close - but if it ends up like this at the end of the season, the Highlanders would still win.

The teams are separated by less than a half-point. Less than a goal, less than an assist, less than 7.5 minutes of shutout hockey by your goalie, less than a two minute penalty for looking so good. (Full marks to the first of you who can identify the athlete/actor in the commercial, the product and the rest of the ad).

The Bladerunners did indeed make the right call in net earning a point from Giguere that Kipprusoff could not provide while Huselius and Iginla's production helped to ease the concern of watching the recently traded Statsny record three points. The Bladerunners good night extended to the Omnivore as well as they are now back over +40pts and creating some distance between themselves and the second place Scourge.

The other event of the night was the Ramapithicines edging over the 700pt mark just ahead of the Personal Vendetta and Lost Boys who could join them as early as tonight.

The Challenge Cup games are still early but the Highlanders hold a lead on the Edge while the Shadowmen and Severed Heads are down in their two games.

The unofficial stats as of Tuesday night's action are:

"ought to", but didn't - Face it, you're leading, if only by a marginal amount, so you like havingyour logo on top ;-)

(Hell I wish mine were!)

I believe the reference is to Grecian Formula, a la Mauruice Richard, non?

Dan wins the No Prize.

It was Grecian Formula and Maurice Richard. He kept a touch of grey, the wife likes it.

Dan is also correct that given a choice, I would like my logo on the top of the Predator Cup leader board.
