OChas been playing better. SHARKS have a scrappy bunch.

Yes, Jr Sharks were scrappy and moved the puck well but OC decided to show up after a sluggish 1st and won 3-1.

Congrats to OC.  Good win for them.  In looking at the rest of their schedule.  They really only have 2 tough games left.  Can Make a good playoff run and make it in.  Can be a tough 1st round opponent for anyone.

Saw some of the GSE1-JD1 game last night.  Jd had GSE on the ropes, but couldn't close it out.  Had some questionable called from the refs, Coaches/parents lost their heads.  Then kids started taking dumb penalties, probably out of frustration.  Coaches and parents getting tossed. Tough loss for the Jd1 kids after a really good effort.

GSE2.                 31 PTS

JD2.                    27
SAINTS.             24
DaBears.            20

WAVE2.              19


JMO........


LET THE CRYING BEGIN

[Handboni]

Top 4 as expected, although not necessarily in that order. 


I seem to recall a lot of posts at the beginning of the season saying that JD2 as an 06 team had no chance playing against 04's.  Finishing somewhere just below the top four is where I and some others thought they would be at the end of the season. 

[hopelesshockeyparent]

JD2 doesnt seem to be an ordinary 06 team.....currently Ranked No1 in the US and i see just went to the North American Hockey Championships and came in 2nd.


Pretty great achievement and great for Cal Hockey.

[Handboni]

Totally agree, great for them and So Cal hockey.  The 05 Ducks made the AA playoffs last year, so not that out of the ordinary for the top Squirt birth year teams to do well in AA.

We'll see how the SS do when they get to Bantams, if they are still together.

[Handboni]

Agree that Bantam is a better measure of what a player will ultimately be.  Other teams start to close the gap at that age as well.  However, Squirt age teams that are appropriately placed in PWAA are generally just fine by the time they get to Bantam.

So what are everyones outlook on standing predictions? Looks like the last few spots are in limbo.


Also noticed the score for the JK1 vs Wave1...were the Kings short? the score seems too lopsided and not normal for the Kings.

IMHO 1-6 are obviously set and playoff bound. There are only 2 playoff spots up for grabs and if OC takes care of biz and go 4-2 the rest of the way and Bears go 3-2, both teams would end up with 20 points and Bears will finish in 7th due to GDiff and OC sneaks in to take 8th... Wave2 would then be eliminated as they max out at 19 points.
