Dragons smoke the competition for week 9!!
Week 9 was a competitive week with only 2 points between 1st and 4th place, but the San Francisco Dragons were the ones to come out on top. They were led by Rob Blake who notched 4 goals for the week. The Dragons forward leaders were Jarome Iginla (1 G 4 A),
Ilya Kovalchuk (2 G 2 A) and Nikolai Zherdev (1 G 5 A). The Dragons are sneaking up on the Western Conference leading Vikings, sitting only 25 points back.
The Ottawa Titans secured the second spot this week with 90 points. They got a solid effort from super star Evgeni Malkin with 3 goals and 5 assists. Their goaltending was tight as Kiprusoff won all three of his starts for the week.
The Indianapolis Ice took the third spot and has been consistently in the top teams for the last couple of weeks. They were led by defensemen Sheldon Souray with 2 goals and 3 assists. Their newest acquisition Louis Eriksson added plenty to the mix with 2 goals and 4 assists. It was a busy week between the pipes for goaltender Henrik Lundqvist who won 3 of his 4 starts this week.
Dropping to 4th position, but only by 2 points were the Syracuse Muddogs, who were led by red hot Phil Kessel with 3 goals and an assist. Also notching 2 goals apiece were; Nik Antropov, Rick Nash and Chuck Kobasew.
Rounding out the top five were the Richmond Falcons, who were an early season favorite as they grabbed Sydney Crosby. He put up the kind of numbers their Flacons had been waiting for this week with 6 goals and 3 assists. They also had scoring help from Mikko Koivu (3 G 3 A) and Trent Hunter (3 G 2 A).

I told you all about the possibility of a "legends league" who's idea was brought forward by our friends at the Local Puck Hog 242. They have invited us to chat with them on their message boards, so just tell them you are with the SSFHL and they will be more than glad to sign you up!
