Happy Wednesday all.

Thanks Curator Dad...!

LF going to need a heater to reign in ARD. Possible, two games in hand and a head to head 4 point swing game.

Top 4 in whatever order are set, the bottom 4 playoff spots are manic. Chat GPT told me ask later.

Busy Night Tonight in this loop. 10 of 12 Teams in Action in the East. TRTB and LFG have the night off...

TA vs. WHGH - West Hills woes will continue tonight in Scarborough. Aeros should get the win tonight and move 6th. A loss wouldn't ruin their playoff chances completely, but it would make them the 1st team to lose to WHGH.

DMM vs. MI - This is a must win for the Islanders. While a playoff spot isn't a lock for DMM, a win here adds some breathing room in what's shaping up to be insanity from 5-8. DMM with the win.

SIR vs. LF - SIR have been pesky all season. They have beaten some decent teams this year, including their opponent tonight. This is also a must win for SIR if they have any playoff aspirations. I'll take a surprising SIR win. The loss wont affect LF in any way.

ARD vs. NYK - Seems like I am on a loop track, but this is another must game. NYK are right in the mix, however have the most games played amongst teams fighting for that 5-8 spot. They've beaten some good teams of late. Do they have it in them? My guess is no. ARD win.

TRT vs. NTH. - Both teams seem to be in position to finish somewhere 2-4. NTH has won the two prior meetings by 2-1 scores. They both ranked 3 and 4 in Goals For. Rank 2 and 3 in Goals Against. Good matchup. NTH has already won the season series. I'll go with TRT getting the win tonight.

Pretty close, couple of ties in there. All close games really by score, can't speak to how they actually went. ARD has 1st wrapped, congrats. 2-4 seeding in question, but irrelevant. 5-8 seeding is a wild finish coming.

34 game standings guess:

ARD
LF
TRT-NT tied 3/4 whatever tiebreaker carries it
TA
DMM
NYK
LFG
SIR
TRTB
MI
WH

Game 1. TA did what they needed to do. Got the 2 points and got out of there. And before anyone wants to poop on them, lets give some credit to the WH goalie. Tough spot to be in game after game. You can see the improvement over the course of the season.

Game 2. MI didn't do what they needed to do. While not mathematically eliminated, I'll make the call right now that they wont be making the playoffs.

Game 3. The Raiders stepped up in a big way here, getting the tie. Again, this wont really affect LF in any way but a massive boost to the Raiders hopes of the 8th and final playoff spot. They also have the most games in hand and some winnable ones. They will make it interesting.

Game 4. Knights really needed this one as they are pushing for a playoff spot. Currently sitting 1 point out of the playoffs, but have played 1 more game then the 4 teams ahead of them. Back to back games against the Leasides are going to be huge. Anything less then 3 points might spell the end for them.

Game 5. Surprising 4-4 result as the 2 previous meetings were 2-1 in favour of NT. Both teams have low GAA so not sure what happened in this one.

Game 6. No preview was written up for this as it was the lone Tuesday game between LGF and TRTB. 3-3 tie. These two are neck and neck for the final two spots. This one was a wash.

Looking at the P10, the teams are ranked as such:

ARD
TRT
NT
DMM
LF
LFG
TA
TRTB

I know the G doesn't do this, but for fun, imagine if there was an East vs. West game?

Who would be on Team East?
Lets try for a full squad. 9F, 6D, 2G. May even a coach or two.

I'll start with a few and can discuss/debate, add, etc...just keep the nasty stuff out.

G - Ice Raiders 59
D - 8 Flames
F - 7 Ducks

Great idea. I think #5 on TRT at F deserves to be on this virtual All Star Team. Good luck to the five East teams playing in the Kennedy Tournament this weekend!
