Week 6 Results of Norfolk in Chance 2023-24 Fantasy Hockey Season
Norfolk in Chance League: Fantasy Hockey Week 6 Highlights
Week 6 in the Norfolk in Chance fantasy hockey league was a dazzling display of skill, strategy, and a little puck luck, with some teams riding high on the winds of success, while others were left picking up the pieces after a storm of misfortune.
As Gudas It Gets! Triumphs as Team of the Week
The standout team this week was none other than As Gudas It Gets!. With a commendable team effort, they led the league in assists and hits, thanks to their stars like Nikita Kucherov and Mackenzie Weegar. They showcased depth across all categories, which was pivotal in securing the highest rotisserie score and the coveted title of Team of the Week. Moritz Seider’s defensive contributions cannot be overlooked, as he amassed an impressive number of hits and blocks. This collective performance underlines the essence of fantasy hockey - it’s not just the goals, but every on-ice action that contributes to a team’s success.
Offensive Juggernauts and Defensive Dynamos
The week was also highlighted by the offensive juggernauts Cale Makar of Ginga Ninja and Valeri Nichushkin of The Untouchables, who left opposing fantasy managers reeling from their high-flying performances. The Mighty Ducks saw Noah Dobson shine as a blue-line benefactor, bolstering their defense and contributing to their power play points. David Pastrnak of God Save the Quinn and Leon Draisaitl of Koala-ty Franchise continued to demonstrate why they’re considered elite, impacting their teams’ standings with their scoring touch.
Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots demonstrated their might with the highest plus-minus and power play points, making them a force to reckon with. The offensive and defensive balance was further exemplified by The Untouchables, who unleashed a flurry of shots on goal, marking them as a team with a voracious offensive appetite. William Nylander played a pivotal role in this assault on the net.
Goalies Stand Tall Amidst Onslaught
In a week where offense seemed to dominate, the goalies for Banger Catz stood as the last line of defense, accumulating the most saves. Players like Evander Kane also contributed to the physical edge of the team, balancing skill with tenacity.
Teams and Players Facing Adversity
Amidst the celebration, some teams had a challenging week. God Save the Quinn saw Troy Terry struggle to find his scoring touch, which had an undeniable impact on their team performance. Similarly, Johnny Gaudreau of Peterpumpkineater69 had a quieter week than usual, leaving fantasy managers longing for his usual point production.
Killing Them Softly and Mathletes felt the weight of underperforming players like Reilly Smith and Michael Bunting, who struggled to light the lamp and create scoring opportunities. The fantasy impact of these players was minimal, reflecting in their teams’ overall performance. For Champagne Campaign, the likes of Jaden Schwartz and Victor Hedman found themselves in a scoring drought, despite their efforts.
Hughes Your Daddy and Broad Street Bullies’ were among the teams that felt the sting of negative plus-minus ratings, with Erik Gudbranson and rookie Logan Cooley facing the brunt of the impact.

This section celebrates the top-performing players of the week. Each player listed below has shown exceptional performance and has been a key player for their respective fantasy teams.
| Name | Team | GP | G | A | PTS | PPP | SOG | +/- | PIM | Hits | Blocks | Team Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| MORITZ SEIDER | DET | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 2 | 6 | 10 | 8 | Back2Back? |
Cale Makar (Ginga Ninja) - The Maestro of the Ice Colorado’s Cale Makar has been nothing short of a symphony on skates. Over three games, Makar orchestrated a dazzling 8 points, including a goal and 7 assists, 3 of which came on the power play. Firing 10 shots on goal and boasting a plus-minus of +5, Makar wasn’t just a part of the action, he directed it. Fun fact: Makar’s smooth moves aren’t just limited to hockey - he’s known for his guitar skills off the ice, strumming up as much rhythm as he does plays.
Valeri Nichushkin (The Untouchables) - The Silent Force Valeri Nichushkin, also of Colorado, proved to be a force majeure with 4 goals and an assist over three games. Powering through with 14 shots and maintaining a +4 rating, Nichushkin added physicality with 6 hits and 2 blocks, embodying the team’s name by being nearly untouchable on the ice. Did you know? Nichushkin’s comeback story is one for the books, overcoming challenges and injuries to become one of the most impactful players on his team.
Noah Dobson (The Mighty Ducks) - The Blue Line Benefactor Representing the New York Islanders, Noah Dobson put up a solid week from the blue line with a goal, 2 assists, and a +1 rating over four games. Notably, he contributed to the special teams with 3 power-play points, sent 10 shots on net, and stood as a defensive bulwark with 7 hits and a remarkable 10 blocks. Off the ice, Dobson is known for his calm demeanor, which translates into his poised play.
Nikita Kucherov (As Gudas It Gets!) - The Thunderbolt Scorer Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov, known for his electrifying play, tallied 2 goals and 2 assists, half of his points coming from the power play. Despite a -2 rating, he unleashed 15 shots and contributed 6 hits, showing that he’s more than just a scoring machine. A fun tidbit: Kucherov’s precision on the ice might be rivaled only by his sharp sense of humor, often keeping his teammates laughing.
Moritz Seider (Back2Back?) - The Rising Defender Moritz Seider of Detroit may not have put up points this week, but his presence was felt in other ways. With 5 shots, a +2 rating, and a physical game leading to 6 PIM, 10 hits, and 8 blocks, Seider showed he’s a multifaceted player. Known for his maturity and work ethic, Seider is a young player with an old soul’s poise - and an affinity for cooking, a hobby where he’s as daring as he is on the ice.
Worst Players of the Week
This section highlights the players who faced significant challenges this week. Each player listed below had a tough week on the ice and will be looking to bounce back in their upcoming matches. Their resilience and determination to improve will be crucial for their respective fantasy teams.
| Name | Team | GP | G | A | PTS | PPP | SOG | +/- | PIM | Hits | Blocks | Team Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TROY TERRY | ANA | 4 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | -2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | God Save the Quinn |
| JOHNNY GAUDREAU | CBJ | 4 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 9 | -3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Peterpumpkineater69 |
| REILLY SMITH | PIT | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 10 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | Killing Them Softly |
| CONNOR BEDARD | CHI | 3 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 4 | -2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | As Gudas It Gets! |
| MICHAEL BUNTING | CAR | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | -2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Mathletes |
Troy Terry (God Save the Quinn) - The Quiet Duck Anaheim’s Troy Terry, known for his breakout season last year, had a week that was as quiet as a library on a Friday night. With 4 games played, a single assist, and just 2 shots on goal, Terry’s fantasy impact was, well, more of a gentle quack than a mighty roar. Fun Fact: When he’s not stealthily avoiding the score sheet, Terry enjoys a good book, making this quiet week somewhat on-brand for him.
Johnny Gaudreau (Peterpumpkineater69) - Johnny Be Good… Eventually Johnny Hockey, as Gaudreau is affectionately known, must have left his magic hands in the locker room this week. With 1 goal from 9 shots over 4 games and a -3 rating, the usually dynamic winger was more “Johnny Be Go-ne” for fantasy managers. Rumor has it he’s been spending too much time exploring West Lincoln’s vast corn mazes - a fun but potentially disorienting pastime.
Reilly Smith (Killing Them Softly) - The Silent Penguin Reilly Smith, now donning Pittsburgh colors, had a week that was as cold as the ice he skates on. Zero points, 10 shots, and a minus in the +/- column, Smith was about as noticeable as a penguin in a blizzard. Off the ice, Smith is known for his love of golf - a hobby that demands the same patience he’ll need to bounce back next week.
Connor Bedard (As Gudas It Gets!) - The Future’s Bright, But This Week’s Dim The much-hyped prospect Connor Bedard showed that even future superstars have off weeks. With 2 assists in 3 games, his -2 and modest shot total show there’s room to grow. It’s said that Bedard practices with a tennis ball to improve his handling, so perhaps this week was more about the “swing” than the “score.”
Michael Bunting (Mathletes) - The Invisible Hurricane Michael Bunting of Carolina must have been lost in the eye of the storm because he was nowhere to be found on the score sheet. In 2 games, zero points and 2 shots on goal left fantasy managers feeling the chill of an uneventful performance. It’s well-known Bunting is a karaoke enthusiast; maybe this week’s silence is just him resting his vocal cords for his next big performance - on and off the ice.
The Fantasy Hockey Underdogs of West Lincoln
Deep in the heart of West Lincoln, Ontario, amidst sprawling farms and serene landscapes, there’s a fantasy hockey team that’s become the talk of the town - and not because they’re topping the charts. Meet Paul, the ambitious yet perpetually bewildered manager of Peterpumpkineater69, a team with more ups and downs than the local corn fields in a breezy summer.
The Not-So-Secret Life of Paul’s Mansion and His Four-Legged Advisors
Paul, from his palatial mansion in West Lincoln, where the dogs roam as freely as his fantasies of league domination, has become a legend in his own right. Rumor has it that his strategy sessions are often interrupted by a council of neighborhood dogs, each offering ‘barks’ of wisdom. Maybe that’s why his team strategy often seems like it’s chasing its own tail.
A Roster Reflecting West Lincoln’s Charm
Leading the pack for Peterpumpkineater69 is Boone Jenner, a player whose performance might be as unpredictable as trying to predict which direction the free-roaming dogs will dash next. Vincent Trocheck and Johnny Gaudreau, much like the quiet, unassuming streets of West Lincoln, show up in surprising ways, often when you least expect it.
Bryan Rust and Jonathan Marchessault bring a bit of excitement to the team, akin to the occasional excitement in West Lincoln when the local fair comes to town - a burst of energy followed by a return to calm normality.
Defensive Strategies: As Open as West Lincoln’s Fields
Luke Hughes and Tyler Myers on defense have been as generous as Paul’s mansion doors during a neighborhood barbecue - always open, perhaps a bit too open for the opposing teams.
And let’s not forget the goalies, Connor Hellebuyck and Laurent Brossoit. They stand as the last bastions of hope, much like the iconic windmills in West Lincoln, trying to harness the energy of an unpredictable season.
The West Lincoln Way: Humor and Heart
In West Lincoln, community and good humor go hand in hand, and Paul’s fantasy hockey escapades embody this spirit. His team, much like the town, is filled with heart, soul, and a few head-scratching moments. The residents might not always understand his strategies, but they sure do appreciate the entertainment.
A Toast to the Unpredictable Journey
So here’s to Paul and his fantasy hockey dreams. In the spirit of West Lincoln, where life’s about enjoying the journey and not just the destination, may Peterpumpkineater69 continue to be a beloved, if bewildering, part of the fantasy hockey world.
As Paul looks out over his land, perhaps with a dog or two at his side, he knows that in fantasy hockey, like in farming, there’s always next season. And who knows? With a little luck and fewer canine interruptions, Peterpumpkineater69 might just be the dark horse, or should we say, the dark dog, of the Norfolk in Chance league.
