Match up recap

Seider drops a nuke

Cum In Seider292.80
Jack Quinn Off161.80

Cum In Seider hung 292.8 and turned Jack Quinn Off’s week into mulch, winning by 131.0. That’s the best score of the week, the biggest blowout, and a new high score in the record book, while Jack Quinn Off managed the week’s worst with 161.8 and missed projection by -44.49. 2-0 never looked this rude.

Bouchard survives, barely

She likes it Bouchard214.10
This Guy Fox Hymans202.70

She likes it Bouchard edged This Guy Fox Hymans 214.1 to 202.7, a win by 11.4 that reeks of schedule luck. The books say they’re the schedule merchant (+0.9091 wins above expected), and Crosby underwhelmed for Hymans (11.7 vs 23.25 expected), so yeah, the hockey gods are having a giggle. Hymans are also the record-book schedule victim in wins below expected for the season, which tracks.

Game Stopped, scoreboard didn’t

Game Stopped248.80
Going in Drai & Snugg223.40

Game Stopped handled Going in Drai & Snugg 248.8 to 223.4, a clean 25.4 win to move to 2-0. Not flashy, just efficient violence from a top-3 power ranked squad while Drai & Snugg keep skating uphill.

Non Lo So wins the photo finish

Non Lo So245.70
Never Go Full Bedard236.30

Non Lo So clipped Never Go Full Bedard 245.7 to 236.3, the closest game of the week at 9.4. Bedard was the schedule victim, losing with the #5 score of the week even with Auston Matthews (40.1) and Mark Stone (27.9) on the honor roll—pain.

Mitchy wins the mid-off

Mitchy’s Maternity Leave207.50
Orlov You Long Time171.30

Mitchy’s Maternity Leave beat Orlov You Long Time 207.5 to 171.3, and yes, that was the #8 score somehow cashing a W. Jack Eichel (27.2) did the heavy lifting, while Orlov even had Alexis Lafreniere (29.7) shine and still got stuffed.

Sherwood stuffs it properly

Sherwood Stuff Her Good262.60
Hughes it or lose it197.90

Sherwood Stuff Her Good blasted Hughes it or lose it 262.6 to 197.9, a 64.7 thumping with Tim Stutzle (36.7) headlining. Hughes it or lose it got dinged by clunkers like Rickard Rakell and Will Smith from the worst list and sits 0-2, dead last in power rankings—woof.

Bouchard’s 2-0 is built on bubble wrap

She likes it Bouchard is 2-0 but only a 54.5% true win team and a whopping +0.91 wins above expected, even earning the record-book ‘schedule merchant’ tag. Nice start, but the training wheels come off with Non Lo So up next—time to prove it wasn’t two weeks of dodging punches.
