We're both on 13pts so this week is gonna be vital. Maybe I can get away from you and overtake my bro in one week. Maybe that's being a little too ambitious!!! :D

What a strange week! There were certainly some results that took a lot of us by suprise. As a result there have been few movers and shakers.

This week's games:
9th Dec: Red Wings @ Capitals
9th Dec: Avalanche @ Devils
9th Dec: Senators @ Canucks
10th Dec: Stars @ Maple Leafs

Davey has regained the top of the table; Tasku and D88 are second and third respectively. There's a growing gap (6pts) between myself (7th) and my brother (6th). He correctly predicted the winners of all four games.

This week's games:
16 Dec Blackhawks v Blues
17 Dec Senators v Maple Leafs
17 Dec Wild v Canadiens
18 Dec Rangers v Avalanche

Thanks for pointing it out. It's pretty easy to look at the wrong line when you're searching for a particular result but thankfully it's easily corrected (which I have done)!

Yeah I think Calv looks at the tea leaves at the bottom of his tea cup to predict the future :-D Maybe I should try doing that... :-k

It doesn't involve getting an Early Edition of the sportpage delivered to your door every morning, does it? Because that would be cheating. 8-)
