What AA Bantam Teams for 2018-19?

[puckslapper]

Hey Jack - it’s called play downs and not playoffs...apparently you have never made it to AA play downs because it doesn’t work as you described. So how do you figure “it all worked out as it should” when you don’t even know how the process works? I’m sure your predictions will work out just as well.

[JackBender]

Geez. I thought your New Year's resolution was to be less of a twat. It's not working out, cockslapper. I wrote "playdowns," so not sure what you're referring to. Regardless, playdowns means playoffs. Duh. We all know that. And it works exactly as I described. With 9 Flight 1 teams, top 7 teams make it in automatically. #8 team in Flight 1 plays #1 Flight 2 team to enter the tournament. The winner is the #8 seed in the playoffs (playdowns!!!) and plays the #1 seed (Bears1).


I'll bill accordingly for the lesson in being less of a moron.

Well Jack...thanks for livening up the board but with your language and anger you must be buddies with Brazzers. You probably figured it out by now...but it takes two losses to be knocked out of playdowns so these teams just don’t play Bears and Saints and go home. They get an equal chance to make the top 4, just as all teams in the playdowns do. They won’t be the only teams that have to face Bears and Saints. It’s just that either GSE1, Kings2 or Bears2 get a free pass to automatically make the playdowns.

[JackBender]

Just because we share a bunk bed does NOT mean we are buddies! Just the opposite!


I know how it works... but you were acting like those teams three were just waltzing in, when only one is automatic, one gets bounced, and one has to play the mightiest of the Flight 2 Titans to get in. That seems perfectly fine. If the top three teams want to advance out of Flight 2... then win Flight 2 and prove they're worthy.

That last flight 2 CAHA game of Kings 1 vs. Saints 2 could be VERY interesting.

[ABCDE]

The final CAHA weekend should prove VERY interesting.  Bears 1, Saints, GSE 2, yeah, we all know they're the best.  The rest shakes out kind of interesting.  More interested in the Flight 2 at this point, as their top 3 look good as I think Time Flies pointed out.  Overheard a Flight 2 parent upset their 2nd loss probably lost any chance at playdowns.  2 losses??  While they're all scraping for the chance, the majority of Flight 1 is oblivious.  A tough road to hoe for any of those Flight 2, but could make for some good hockey next month and post season.

I would agree with Bears and GSE 2 are the best. Definitely a tough road for Flight 2

I’m not a smart man, but I know what playoffs are, what in the world are “playdowns”?

You go into the draw and you "play down" the tournament until you have 2 losses.


Oddly, the top 4 teams continue on to a finals round which uses the same format, so you can have situations where the last 2 teams can play each other 3 times before a team wins the championship.

If a COACH calls a kid on an opposing team a "piece of shit " during a game, should that coach be upset if a parent calls him "a piece of shit" after a game ?

Who cares if the adult is upset?

[InDZone]

Wow! I would say that it should be expected.


I am sure any parent would not like a coach to call their kid a piece of shit.

Do you mean coach or parent ?

[TheFourthA]

Was it the kid’s own coach or an opposing coach?  How about when refs do this?

Opposing coach.


Would hope a ref would never do this.
But then again  wouldnt think a coach would do this.
