Last Week’s Result

|
6-2 L vs Yaqeen
|
|
Note’s From Last Week
|
Their first round pick Arif Bijabhai has missed both games so far
|
Five out of the six goals conceded were 5 on 5
|
|
Context For Tonight
|
You play the other teams in your division twice. You do not want to go 0-3 in the first circuit of divisional games as you are chasing these teams for a playoff spot
|
Season seems so young to start talking about playoffs. However getting points in Week 3 is worth the same as getting points in Week 12. A loss tonight will send them to the bottom of the division
|
|
Prediction
|
Emaan win
|
|

Last Week’s Result
|
1-1 tie vs Haya
|
3-1 W over Ikhlas
|
|
Note’s From Last Week
|
Disappointing result last week as they faced Haya without Maaz Haq.
|
Really benefited from having the leadership Salman Khalid brings. Ridha secured the win without their star goaltender Ali Khawja. Call up Zak Bandisha filled in admirably last week.
|
|
Context For Tonight
|
If you keep getting ties while your divisional rivals get wins it is a one-way ticket to the bottom of the division.
|
With youth comes mistakes and this team will have to pay for not submitting a recap last week by being assessed a 2 minute penalty. They are hoping to overcome this blunder and get a nice little 2-game win streak going by 10:00 pm Friday night.

|
Prediction
|
|
Ridha win

|
Last Week’s Result
|
3-1 L against Ridha
|
1-1 ties vs Sabr
|
|
Note’s From Last Week
|
Ikhlas faced a team without their regular goaltender and were unable to take advantage
|
They manage to get at least a point last week by showing great resiliency without having Maaz Haq in their lineup
|
|
Context For Tonight
|
Similar to Emaan, you don’t want to go through the first circuit through your own division without a win
|
Ridha or Sabr can pass them up in them up in the standings if they lose Friday.
|
|
Prediction
|
|
Haya win
|

Last Week’s Result
|
6-2 W against Shukr
|
5-2 W against Emaan
|
|
Note’s From Last Week
|
Goaltender Mohammed Khandwala has started his I-slam Hockey career with 2 straight wins
|
Ihsan played a dominant game last week that they were able to dominate on the scoreboard while avoiding taking a single penalty
|
|
Context For Tonight
|
Sweeping your division in the first circuit can have the potential to make the remainder of your season a lot more easier!
|
A win tonight gives Ihsan sole possession of top spot in the division
|
|
Prediction
|
Yaqeen win
