With the first week of the playoffs over, we are looking at a new landscape. In the Ice Bucket finals, we have one Cinderella story taking shape as the underdog Saskatoon Sasquatches earned a berth to round two, facing off against the Washington Winter Warriors. Meanwhile, in the Ice Chips finals, Richmond fans saw their team fall short of scoring that first win of the season.
With the second round of the playoffs kicking off, we have two teams coming in cold from their bye weeks, facing off against two strong competitors. Will the bye week prove to be a boon or bust for the Washington Winter Warriors and Barrel Riders of Buffalo? Can the Cleveland Blackjacks capitalize on their win over the Richmond Prexies and take down Team Moran?

Ice Bucket Update
From out of left field, the Saskatoon Sasquatches blind sided the Boston Benders last week. The Benders came out hard on Monday and beat back the Sasquatches by nearly 30 points. Sadly for the hometown Boston crowd though, the Sasquatches roared back the next night with a 40 point win. From there, the rest of the week was spent with the two teams trading punches; with last minute line juggling by the Benders failing to provide the needed spark to overcome the Sasquatches. Final Score: Benders (17 and 5) 301.6 to Sasquatches (13 and 9) 322.5
Coming into the playoffs, the Denver Demon Donkeys were riding an eight game winning streak as they faced off against the Milwaukee Monarchs.

Score: Donkeys (18 and 4) 298.2 to Monarchs (12 and 10) 265.1.

Ice Chips Update
The Richmond Prexies put forth a true spirited effort this past week as they took on the Cleveland Blackjacks. With an unusual amount of tenacity, the Prexies posted win after win last week, keeping the Blackjacks at bay until the weekend. On Friday though, the Prexies seemed to implode, falling victim to bad penalties and sloppy play as the Blackjacks regained their composure. Final Score: Prexies (0 and 22) 170.6 to Blackjacks (3 and 19) 176.7.
Team Moran facing off against the Seattle Wolves, wasted no time in asserting dominance over the Wolves surging out to a 26 point lead on opening night. Team Moran faltered only once, before regaining their composure and reasserting their style of play. Final Score: Team Moran (6 and 16) 244.7 to the Wolves (6 and 16) 187.7.
