keep drinking: To be honest, I got board with the counters. If you reread my messages you will see they are all fact based. I wish you, your kid, and your beliefs a wonderful season. We all know that the JK2 team is very good, has great coaching and plays as a team.
Look, I hate to say it, but only time will tell. We could debate this forever. Losing to a bears team 5-2 when a week before the JK 1 team lost to the same bears team 4-2 says something? Or not? GSE 1 only scores about 6 goals a game, no matter who they play. Guess what? They scored 6 on Ducks 2, Kings 2, and other Tier 1 teams. This is all starting to sound like jealousy to me. Maybe some frustrated 05 parents that think little Johnny is going to the NHL and is too good to play younger kids? Who knows.
Some would think the Ducks 1 vs 2 game on Sunday was competitive because it was 4-3 and yet those who were there may think otherwise. Ducks 1 outplayed Ducks 2 until some 5 on 3's at the end. Using the earlier comment, we could even say it was 4-1 through two. With all that, I'd argue it was not even the Ducks 1 best showing. Does this mean that either belong or don't belong?
The score is not a good indicator. Let's consider variables: Already losing (play some weaker players); goalie has a bad/good game; Coach absent from the game; I could go on and on, inconsistency of children.....
Fact is, some teams win with defense and others with Cherry picking, and yet others with strong offense. Just because one team wins 2-1 and the other 6-0 means absolutely nothing. That same team that won the game 2-1, replayed a week later and won 5 to 0. What analytics can we use to communicate the wide variance? Doesn't make one team more competitive than the other. The fact that the CAHA evaluators actually thought they could do a tier system that made sense is pretty funny. Hopefully they have day jobs.
