Bantam AA 16/17

[Detroit Hockey Life]

Anybody hear if Anaheim Ice got things reparied? 4:00pm game cancelled on both sheets due to melt down yesturday. OC1 vs Ducks2 cancelled.

[goonhockey]

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...

[Panther Coach]

I would still have OC1 among the top group and no my kid does not play for them.  That team has the talent and compete level to win on any day.  Just saying

[goonhockey]

that's probably fair, just looked at their scores again...

[Panther Coach]

They made it to the final at Labor Day as well.  My prediction is they will beat the Bears and GSE North.  We will see on the Sharks.  They haven't played any teams they should blow out that I have seen.  Lakewood in a few weeks will be good with the Ducks playing both GSE and the Sharks.

I would say I agree with the top 8.
Sharks
Ducks1
GSE 2
Bears
OC1
a cut above the next group

Wave
Flyers
Blackhawks

I will be surprised if flyers end up in top 8. They have had a very soft schedule so far.

So who has hard a hard schedule out of the second tier teams? If not Flyers who do you have jumping into the top eight?

[Puck Yeah]

It is funny how we all look at the same stats and conclude completely different rankings.


There is an argument that OC1 should be ranked higher and also Flyers won't make the top 8.  Preseason OC1 5 vs Flyers 3.   That would seem to indicate either that OC1 is weaker or Flyers are stronger but it can't mean both, can it?

[rosetta]

You have a good point. Sorry I didn't want this to sound like a personal attack on the flyers. Guess what I mean is I agree with the choice of the other top 7 teams, but not convinced on the 8th spot.

Other than the loss to Bears, Flyers won four games against teams combined to win 1, tie 3 out of 23 league games. 2 of the ties were between Saints and Mariners themselves. 4 of the 5 games were home for flyers.

I agree there will be 4 teams fighting for the 8th seed.

I don't take anything on this or any other board personally.  The reality will be what the outcomes are, not what someone's option of a teams is.  There is also usually some change in the weaker and stronger teams by the end of the season as well.

[Panther Coach]

Is anyone familiar with how the NorCal games against each other will be recognized on CAHA for the standings like the SCAHA games are now?

Looks like it was a tough game from 2 solid teams.
