Match up recap

Quinn Off sneaks by on training wheels

Jack Quinn Off183.30
Hughes it or lose it173.40

Jack Quinn Off beat Hughes it or lose it 183.3-173.4, the closest game of the week at 9.9. It was a win with the #10 score and a brutal -40.08 vs projection, so yeah, saved-by-schedule banners go up now. Hughes got torpedoed by Trevor Zegras and Mark Scheifele showing up on the worst-players list, then had to watch Quinn Off trip over the finish line anyway.

Bouchard squad turns on the tap

She likes it Bouchard198.60
Going in Drai & Snugg172.30

She likes it Bouchard handled Going in Drai & Snugg 198.6-172.3 by 26.3. Evan Bouchard’s 35.6 made it look easy while Drai & Snugg coughed up the week’s worst score at 172.3 despite Leon Draisaitl dropping 26.9. All that Drai and still came up dry.

Non Lo So drops a three-headed hammer

Non Lo So228.50
Orlov You Long Time188.80

Non Lo So smoked Orlov You Long Time 228.5-188.8, a 39.7 dunking. Elias Pettersson (36.9), Filip Hronek (30.6), and Kyle Connor (27.7) all hit the honor roll while Orlov got kneecapped by Jason Robertson (-10.22) and Robert Thomas (-9.52). Dylan Guenther’s 25.8 was a cute Band-Aid on a chainsaw wound.

Game Stopped presses start

Game Stopped206.90
Sherwood Stuff Her Good185.40

Game Stopped took care of Sherwood Stuff Her Good 206.9-185.4 by 21.5. Power-ranked 3rd rolled like it, while 10th-ranked Sherwood brought a butter knife to a bayonet drill. Not flashy, just efficient scoreboard bullying.

Cum In Seider detonates the record books

Cum In Seider247.50
Mitchy’s Maternity Leave191.70

Cum In Seider obliterated Mitchy’s Maternity Leave 247.5-191.7, a 55.8 nuke that set the league high score and blowout marks. Mitchy was the schedule victim with the #6 score of the week, but you don’t survive a carpet bomb. That was less a matchup and more a public service announcement.

Bedard (wisely) doesn’t go full send

Never Go Full Bedard200.70
This Guy Fox Hymans189.10

Never Go Full Bedard edged This Guy Fox Hymans 200.7-189.1 by 11.6. Vasily Podkolzin’s 30.7 did the heavy lifting, outlasting even McDavid’s 32.5 on the other side. When your guy drops the top-3 stud and you still lose, that’s a lineup sneeze in church.

Jack Quinn Off is 1-0 and already on probation

At 1-0 with a true-win rate of 18.2% and 0.82 wins above expected, this is a house made of matchsticks. You won the closest game by 9.9 while posting the #10 score and a -40.08 projection faceplant, then cashed the “saved by schedule” coupon. Enjoy the parade now—those wheels are wobbly as hell.
