Is there a new blog that everybody went to? Calhockey is crickets lately.
Let's stir it up hopefully and talk prematurely and pointlessly about playdowns.
Question #1: Flight 1: 5 teams are still mathematically eligible for the #6/7/8 spots at this point, though Wave1 and OC1 would have to run the table and GSE1 would have to lose all remaining. With that said, assume Wave1 and OC1 don't make top 8, leaving either GSE1, Blackhawks or Sharks in #8 spot. Stay with me here. This means winner of Flight 2 plays the tie breaker somewhere in NorCal, yes?
Question #2: Flight 2 - who wins? Three in the running: Saints, Wave 2 and Mariners. Wave2 so hot and cold, I count them out right now. Could come down to one game - Mariners/Saints Feb 4. I pick Saints 3-1, Saints go to NorCal for tiebreaker (?).
