they probably should have dropped all teams in flight 2
Dumb.
It took all of a week to have Flight1 teams tied by or narrowly beating flight2 teams by a goal. Seems like there are 4-5 teams at the top of Flight1 that will be in a dogfight, and then the rest of the teams where there's not a huge amount of separation from 6-14.
When you have a Flight1 team play a Flight2 team they are pressuring to drop, and the Flight1 team pulls out a 1-0 victory in the last minute of the game, it's not too hard to see that the jamboree evaluations and whatever bullshit that came afterwards, leave a lot to be desired. Then we have the Flight1 Kings2 with a 1-1 tie vs. the Flight2 JD1 in a game where the shots were 20-18.
At least the whole charade is over with and the season is finally underway.
