so, revised rankings?
i think everyone can agree that these are currently the top 3 teams, with sharks the top and ducks (slightly) ahead of gse, maybe -
sharks 1(2002)
ducks 1 (2002)
gse 2 (north)
the next grouping is a relative crapshoot at this point -
bears
wave
flyers
blackhawks
oc 1 (2002)
can probably group these together -
gse 1 (south)
ducks 2 (2003)
kings
sdia
and then the rest -
sharks 2
oc 2 (2003)
gulls
mariners
saints
wildcats
placement among the groupings can shift a bit, but hard to justify, for now, that anyone should move up or down a group...
