Game 4 Oct 19:
Canadian Gothic 0.5 OT WIN vs The Big M's 0.5
Shoot Loose 4.5 vs Shortstackers 5.5
Whalers 1.5 vs Underdogs 0.5
Swackers 1 vs PK Dealers 4.5
Magically Delicious -0.5 vs Scarboorough Shooters -1
Red Ravens 2 vs Greaseballs 2 TIE
Puck Warfare 1 vs Steelheads -0.5
Winning Combination 0.5 vs Mustangs 0
Cheap Thieves 3.5 vs Broadway 0.5
Screamin' Eagles 0.5 vs Ingmen 2

 

Canadian Gothic and Winning Combination at a perfect 4-0 and are the only two undefeated teams remaining.  On the other side of the coin, the heavily favored Broadway in the Bonsignore division have dug themselves a hole starting the season at 0-4. In the Lemiuex division, Shoot Loose is also struggling early on and are also 0-4 on the season. Champions League takes a little hiatus giving injured teams a little time to recoup.

Cheap Thieves Rebuild Progression Stats:

Forwards:
Year 1 1.19
Year 2 1.83
Year 3 1.64

Defense:
Year 1 0.34
Year 2 0.55
Year 3 1.00

Goalies:
Year 1 3.14
Year 2 3.28
Year 3 3.45

Plus/Minus:
Year 1 -0.04
Year 2 0.69
Year 3 0.91

Points:
Year 1 34
Year 2 41
Year 3 55 (projected pace)

 

Defense improved every year. Goalies appear to have gotten worse every year but we have high hopes for a turn around there as well as at forward. Specifically Sebastian Aho returning to form would handle that and it wouldn't hurt to get a producing Nolan Patrick back, as well as Nico Hischier.
