Just curious, what are play downs? Have a buddy playing this weekend, and thought it was playoffs, but he said it was playdowns :/

Same stuff, just double elimination format.
The one they use in baseball little leagues

Thoughts on today?  Predictions?? I was impressed by the news of the Flyers almost-victory against the Ducks.  OT losses at least are somewhat tolerable.  I will say that the Flyers are my pick against the Kings tomorrow morning.  From what I was told they dominated the Ducks with their blue line cherry pick.  Maybe they will use it to capture one of the last CAHA spots at Finals?  Nice work by GSE 1 who by all accounts are a formidable squad top to bottom.  With their goaltending they have a great shot at going all the way!  I like the Bears tomorrow versus the Ice Dogs.  The Bears play with just enough edge to upset the already edgy Ice Dogs.  Should be a good one.  I know I'm looking forward to it!


Winners:  Flyers and Bears
Losers: Kings (cue angry Kings parents) and Ice Dogs


You've got to love playdown hockey!

Golden Knight I wouldn’t bet your life on your predictions tomorrow...  The Kings & Dogs will rebound with the W.

Golden Knight....  What  happened with your picks today?  “Apparently they did NOT show up”

[Beer Leaguer]

Dogs and bears got ugly from what I hear with a line brawl. 5-1 final maybe you call that not showing up. Kings-Flyers in go to th round of shoot out and that’s not showing up?
Do you know anything?

2 Cups, you won in a shootout, relax.  Count yourself lucky to be there.  Fron what I was told you guys were awful and are lucky to be there.  From a parent on your team, "we play like individuals and dont move the puck.  We dont score team goals.  We don't play team hockey." 


Congrats on the win, but I again stand by the Kings aren't a "team". Ice Dogs are a good, physical team.  Bears CAN be a team like that and just wasn't today.

1. Ducks

2. Kings1
3. IceDogs1
4. GSE1
- 2-4 are a tight group. 
- Kings1 beat ID1 by 5 & GSE1 by 3
- ID1 & GSE1 tied 2-2.

5. Bears
6. Flyers
7. GSE2
- 5-7 tight group, but inconsistent bunch.
- on a good day, they can hang with 2-4; then again, on a bad day...

As a self-identifying ‘numbers cruncher’ - and first year AA parent; me thinks that Jan 9 post was pretty respectable.   (No, I did not pick an 8th team.)


As for play-downs, I had a really good experience getting to chat with parents from the Bears, ID1, and Kings1 teams; even a Flyers goalie dad.  Good to see the adults having civil conversations while the kids did their thing.

Sure enough, I put out a kumbaya post; having not gotten the memo on the brawl.  That’ll teach me.

[2 Cups in LA]

Well...  Golden Knight & Beer Leaguer, don’t  take your delusional opinion so personally...  Just fueling the fire for more to jump into the conversation.  Bottom line any of the above mentioned teams can beat each other on any given day...  “We all know that”

[Beer Leaguer]

Nothing personal but maybe we should look up the definition of delusional.

adjective





characterized by or holding idiosyncratic beliefs or impressions that are contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder.

"hospitalization for schizophrenia and delusional paranoia"

A 5 rd shoot out is “ not showing up”? You sound like a real class act, fit that team and coach like a glove.

[2 Cups in LA]

Blue liner nice of you to jump into the pool...  If your team showed up?  It would never had gone to shoot out...   Keep it in prospective.  We are talking about 11/12 yr old kids.  “Not your personal opinions”.   I wish all your little Gretzky’s well...

[Blueliner2]

Fully realize we are talking about 11-12 year olds. That’s why it pisses me off to hear someone behind a keyboard question if they showed up when taking it to a 5 rd shoot out. Much like your coach who refers to that same group of 11-12 year olds as a “****ty team.”  Both teams played their asses off today. Leave it at that.

[2 Cups in LA]

Blue Liner I’m sorry it didn’t  go your way.  I would be PISSED as well...  Your taking not showing up too hard.


Regardless the sport you play when you don’t win in regulation the outcome doesn’t always go your way and the best team doesn’t always win.  That is why you play.  Teams that show up win in regulation.
