It is a tale of the two winningest franchises in the FunHL, both 3-time Predator Cup Champions, heading in decidedly different directions. While the league-leading Highlanders have had solid performances from the expected sources of Crosby, Thornton and Pronger; a rebound year from Kariya; and breakout years from Williams and Boyes the Great Whites, early season favourites, have been beset by injuries through their defense corps a devastating slump to thier intended star winger, Cheechoo, and a 2nd FP slot that has failed to produce regardless of who is there (Marleau and then Whitney).
The Highlanders managed 12.53 pts last night, giving them 21.53pts for the week so far, as M.Kipprusoff (3.33pts) is now displaying the skills which had him drafted first overall; B.Boyes (3pts) continues his unexpected season; S.Crosby's Pens were blown out but the Kid (2pts) was in on both Pittsburgh goals; WD pick-up A.Voros got into a fight (1.25pts); while P.Kariya, J.Thornton and S.Souray (now back from IR) all chipped in with a point. By contrast the Great Whites had 4pts last night, thier first points of the week, the good news was recently acquired S.Horcoff had a three point night and his second FP, R.Whitney, got another point and is starting to look like the player so saught after at the entry draft. The Great Whites did not have many players take the ice yet this week so this capsule it not a fair reflection of the team's abilities but with injuries to two centers and two right wingers (not to mention both benched defensemen) the lean weeks may continue for a while yet.

Doug,
Based on your explanation of ties, you should review the adjustment you made to the Challenge Cup scores in Week 9.
Lost Boys: 33.50 points
v.
Ramapiths: 34.37 points
------------------------
difference: 0.87 points
I should get a point for the tie (as your original graphic gave), but the Ramapithicenes should not get 2 points for a win they didn't achieve.
Could you please fix this.
Also, if you have an easy way of updating minutes and points, I'll see if I can put together a spreadsheet that generates omnivore scores with the variable TG.
Richard.
Hi Richard.
I was going through the stats again and see that I, mistakenly, benched Pitkanen as your 2nd TG in week 9 (costing you 1.5pts) so, yes, you did tie the Ramapithicines. My bad, thanks for catching both errors. It will be corrected in the next post.
As for the Omnivore update, I just do them all up and look at the numbers. I simply haven't had the time to prep it all up yet this year, but it is coming.
So where can we make a trade? We haven't made one this year I don't think.
