VK beat NYR in game 2. The gap is closing, love to see close games in playoffs. NYR will still win because they have #16.
Next year it’s going to be even better in terms of parity. TM, VK, Titans, DMF have all brought in multiple game changing players.
NYR is losing 2/3 first line players and JRC just making a few swaps, but no high end additions. The top 6 is going to be interesting to see how it stacks up. Real hockey is starting, so teams can’t rely on 1 good line. Injuries will happen, size and depth become a big factor.
TM
VK
TITANS
NYR
JRC
DMF
-EVERYONE ELSE
Titans? How exactly are they accomplishing that?
The have big $ behind, like the u16 team. They have a great young coaching staff. They are adding the best offensive player in 2012, the best defenceman and the best goalie.
That is a big improvement, the top 2 teams are getting weaker. Remember there is hitting next year! So all those small and weak skilled players will not be as effective, in fact they will be detrimental because they will get scared and turn over the puck. Coaching on the top 2 teams, may appear to be really good because they win right now but have either of them had success with coaching after U13? Both were perimeter powerplay merchants in their own hockey career and have no idea how to teach about gritty hockey.
From September to now, the other teams have caught up. CM and CL are the reasons those teams win in big games, but other teams
TM, DMF, VK, Titans all have a few giants, where as JRC and NYR are very small and their big players lack skill.
TM and VK will become the cream of the crop. Book it!
CL will be insignificant. He’s already faded out of the top 5 fwds in the league, contact will push him out of the top 20

dmf is way better and will be better next year they have way more size compared to the tiny nyr and jrc kids. they will be top 2 next year . mostly with hitting next year
They still won't score. More likely that VK and TM move up past DMF.
Why don't the Rebels get any love this team is ready for the biggest stage , becarful what you wish for
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Rebels will be top four for sure in my opinion. They would have been this year, injuries suspensions and penalties were costly. Most of that will be legal next year so penalties will be cut in half, injuries healed up and they've improved the roster at every position. Should make things interesting at the very least. Wish al the teams luck it's fun to watch the age group.
Sorry but you don’t get suspended for a body check idiot
that's right stupid. PENALTIES will be cut in half he said. Where do you people get your reading skills from? jesus christ

Dirty hit by MD tonight.
Hope the kid is alright. VK battled 5 minute pk, goalie stole the show when it mattered. 5 goals against NYR is rare, may not have happened all year. MD suspended 1 or 3 games?
