Objective observations for west end of season:
VP and FT are both struggling in the home stretch.
MB looks very strong but they have some tough games coming up which will tell the tale.
MNS is coming back strong to end the season.
VR is looking strong as well.
Everyone else is flailing, winning a game against a top team then losing to a bottom team. There could be some upsets from the 6-13 seed but not sustained, they'll just be one offs.
Streetsville looks pretty good - strong kids up front but goalie not great.
West Mall and Humber Valley both have AAA caliber goalies, that can be unpredictable in the playoffs.
VP and MNS are done playing each other, but there are all kinds of combos between the top 4 teams in games to still come. Exciting!

NYK wouldn’t beat any of VP, MNS, MB. FT - maybe. The East is so bad this year.
NYK beat MB earlier this year and took VP to overtime. While the west is likely a deeper more competitive division, it is still possible the tournament champ may come out of the east.
NT is better than NYK, if somebody's coming out of the East it will be them.
And they will likely win because the west is deep and those teams are gonna beat up on each other hard, leaving the last one standing bloodied and bruised.
lol. They’re 9. Easy on the bloodied and bruised. What a stupid comment.

MB vs VR tonight will be interesting.
Will depend on which VR team shows up. If it's the one from the last game, MB streak is over. If it's the silly season one, they'll lose 7-0.

From calling around I have heard:
MB only cutting 2 or 3, losing 1 to AAA, keeping goalies.
MNS only cutting 2 or 3, keeping goalies.
HVS hoping to cut almost half, neither goalie returning.
WML looking for 4-5.
MT looking for 4-5.
TE very hush hush.
VP looking for maybe 2 depending on AAA departures. Looking for goalie.
What about the east? Seems like East parents are quiet...
Whether cutting or not, have seen many VP kids at AAA skates.
AAA skates? VP just lost to WML 3-1 tonight lmao
What's your point? They are at the skates. Who knows if they will make it or not. You must be daft to jump to that conclusion so quickly WML dad....
VP parents can't see straight. There is maybe 1 D who could go AAA and he's not even the top D in the loop. If they make the jump they're going to a "new and exciting" TRW which will be a great experience on the back of a season where they were the best team in AA. Only a crazy parent would do that but the crazies all flock to Vaughan like bees to honey.
Another stupid comment from Islamabad-on-lake Ontario.
