As we inch closer to the playoffs the leaders are starting to get interesting. Over in the Ranger Division the Jags are sitting on 14 points with the next closest team being the Stingers at 10. However, as we take a look at the schedule the Jags have one game left and the Stingers have 4, so if the Stingers win all four that would leave them at 18 points and first.
Over in the Texan division we have two teams deadlocked in first with 11 points, Los Jets HC, and the Fort Worth Bandits. Now the Bandits only have one game left and the Jets have two, so obviously the Jets just need to win their final two games to wrap up the divison. The Sens are sitting with 9 points and three games left, so technically they have the same opportunity as the Jets, their is just more road to travel for the Sens.
Looks like the #4 seeds are pretty locked in. Over in Texan the Whalers are sitting on 3 points, so no matter what happens they will face the #1 seed in the first round of the playoffs. In the Ranger Division it looks like the Spider Monkeys are singing the same tune. SO who will they face?
Its hard to bet against the Stingers in the Ranger Division, however looks like the Texan division is a coin toss. The Keller Indians will have to face whoever loses the race for first in Ranger.
Regardless my money is on the Stingers coming out of the Ranger and either the Bandits, Jets, or Sens in the Texan Division it is so close its impossible to tell.
Word on the Street is that the Keg is getting a facelift for this new decade of hockey at Nytex. Also looking past this session the league will expand to ten teams, names will be announced soon.
I look forward to the playoffs. Close games int he division this season have made it much better.
ReplyDeleteMy question is this, With the playoffs starting on the 6th, when are teams suppose to get the rest of their paid for practice times. With some teams, Like us still being owed 2 practices (one of which we had scheduled but then it was taken away the day before we were to practice), and with some teams going to being eliminated from the playoffs on the 6th. What is NYTEX's going to do, give them a practice after their seasons over?
ReplyDeleteWhy not use the 6th and the tuesday and thursday time slots for teams to get their practice times and then start the playoffs on the 13th. Now getting 4 games scheduled on the 13th might be tough, Well how about opening 2 slots before the Brahmas games for the us for a change instead of us always being the ones getting bumped.
I'm getting my name on that Keg. You wait and see, I will hoist that up after the championship game.
