How did everyone's weekend go, any surprises, failures or upsets?
Flight 2 seems to be a dog fight between the four teams (saints, wave, mariners, flyers) for the top spot. They all are playing two of the four in the next two Caha weekends. It should be an exciting finish for flight2. Thats how it should be. Would be fun to watch.
Flight1, however, had some interesting results. Bears going 3-0 was no surprise but the shellacking they put on ducks in 12-3 win was surprising. Oc going 0-3 in losing twice to ducks in one day (gr8 scheduling caha) and then losing to gse1 effectively puts oc in the same category as wave ( no shot at play downs). Kings cooling from 4-0 in vacaville to 1-2 this weekend, with wave being their sole win, was no surprise. Empire going 3-0 was surprising knowing they played all norcal teams and have more 2004s than any other flight1 team. That speaks of good coaching and proves a healthy mix of 2 birth years can work. Minor year infusion doesnt mean u will get beat by pure major year teams. They, however, may not be able to beat bears who are extremely talented & coached.
Once again all Norcal teams looked good and did well and stayed in playoff hunt.gse1 is better than their record suggests and they like sharks have a game on hand.
When all is said & done bears, empire,kings, gse2, sharks, blackhawks, and gse1 might be the top 7 teams in flight 1. Ducks' lack of defensemen might prevent them from cracking top 7.
