There is no second place in this one, so Marcie is the team to catch, but at this point, all the next best team has to do is tie her team in points and have one goal. 3 points is a big difference to make-up, so the next best team better get a shutout in this one or else, the winning team will have to score a bunch of goals.
Marcie doesn't have any representation in this game, so her lead is all she has left to lean on tomorrow. Scott, only 3 points back, has a trio of Flyers defensemen and the likely starter for the home team in Matt Murray. Derek B. has one scoring forward in Patric Hornqvist, who isn't a bad bet for a multi-point game, especially if he can get a goal and a couple of helpers, the title would be his. Stuart would also line up as one of the outside shots of a 3-point game with Jakub Voracek, so he'll be one to watch too.
Clayton, 4 points back, has a trio of Flyers playing, while Cam, without a point, has a possible four players in this game, depending on the Pittsburgh starting goalie. Brenda & Seward might also have to be considered, given they have Sidney Crosby and a possible starting goalie in Steve Mason, in case of a barn burner.
Hopefully, this game has some excitement to it. It would really make for a good finish to the outdoor games pool this season.
