Personal Vendetta Get Early Start On Week 20

With only one game in the NHL last night, not much change should be expected in the standings but the Personal Vendetta did get off to a great start as their Flyers, Forsberg and Gagne, combine for 4.5pts. Most everyone else will get into the week tonight with a host of games on the table.

The Personal Vendetta's quick opening highlights the Challenge Cup Game of the Week. The Personal Vendetta are carrying the torch for the three teams clinging to a chance at the playoffs. The Personal Vendetta, along with the Great Whites and the Wolves, need to win their remaining games and have the Highlanders lose theirs to have a chance to earn the final playoff spot through the tie-breaker.

The tie-breaker first looks at records against all tied teams. For a quick recap lets assume that the Vendetta win this match against the Highlanders. They would have a record of 2-0 vs the Highlanders, 2-0 vs the Great Whites but 0-2 vs the Wolves. The Wolves have 0-1 records against both the Highlanders and Great Whites while the Great Whites sport a 2-0 record against the Highlanders. The various combinations of teams and their records against each other could result in any of these teams still making the playoffs - they just need some help, except the Highlanders who still control their own fate and simply need to win one of their two remaining games (this week against the Vendetta and next week against the Edge) to book their post-season flight.

Here are the stats as of last night's game:
