Entering the Final Stretch of the Regular Season

We are two thirds of the way through the season now, so lets take a look at the standings to see how things are shaping up. The Stingers are still hanging tough in the number one spot with a 7-1 record. The Indians and Hurricanes are just a few points back in second and third respectively. Then the Gators and Senators are tied up in fourth with 10 points a piece. The Senators have been on an overtime streak losing to the Indians in overtime two weeks ago, and to the Stingers in overtime this past weekend.

In sole possession of 6th place we have Mid Air with 9 points. Mid Air’s final three games will be a big test against the Indians, Gators, and Canes. Nipping at their heals are the Angels who will need to play hard in their final four if they want to get out of the play in round of the playoffs. Remember the bottom four teams will all play each other prior to the quarterfinals to determine which two will advance to the quarters and face the #1 and #2 seeds. As it stands now looks like the new life Jags, Bullets, and Monkeys are going to be in the play in round, but who will be the fourth, Mid Air or the Angels?

The Stingers have two more games against the Indians before the post season, so who knows who the number one seed will end up being. You cant count the Gators out just yet, they have proven that they can score, and their final four games are against the Bullets, Mid Air, Jags, and Monkeys.

Killer’s prediction-------Stingers fall to the #2 seed, Indians take the top spot, and the Gators come in at third. Not sure about those Canes just yet, their roster has been shaky at best.
