The Money Ballers
Return to Blog Home
With Philly left with no one to play on Saturday night due to the storm that left the Rock stranded in the T dot, Ryan Ward, even in a loss, picked up a couple clutch points against Buffalo before the game slipped away from the Swarm, and took a slight lead in The Money Ballers this week.
And even though we have a lotta the same guys hanging around the top part of the charts, that leaderboard is actually the tightest we’ve seen since the start of the year. I’d say with a big night this coming weekend, anyone in and around that 20 point mark has a chance to be sittin’ at the top of the mountain at this time next week.
Before you make the jump, just quickly take a guess at who you think each team’s top clutch scorer is this year, cuz I listed every club’s leader this week as well. Some of ‘em I’m sure will surprise a lotta you.
Here’s each team’s Money Ballers leader…
Buffalo – John Tavares 20.5 points
Calgary – Curt Malawsky 9.5
Chicago – Jonas Derks 4.0
Colorado – Dan Carey 15.5
Edmonton – Mike Accursi 8.0
Minnesota – Ryan Ward 25.5
New York – Casey Powell 13.5
Philadelphia – Athan Iannucci 24.0
Portland – Dan Dawson 15.5
Rochester – Shawn Evans 14.0
San Jose – Luke Wiles 20.5
Toronto – Josh Sanderson 21.0
Anyways, here’s this week’s top clutch guys…
