1. Traders |
1. |
4-0 1.000 |
If the Traders trade for four new brooms would the Traders trade for four series sweeps? |
|
2. Thistles |
6. |
4-0 1.000 |
If the Thistles can unwrap the mystery that is the Crunch they may yet get the chance to play for the Neely Cup. |
|
3. Lizards |
14. |
4-0 1.000 |
The Lizards pulled it off against a weaker sister club. What will happen when they face off against a real man's team? |
|
4. Muffs |
2. |
4-1 .800 |
With only minor heart palpitations the Muffs pulled it out. I mean off. |
|
5. Crunch |
13. |
4-1 .800 |
After finishing 13th overall in the regular season, the Crunch are in the second round against the Thistles. It's déjà vu all over again! |
|
6. Thieves |
9. |
4-2 .666 |
Does it really matter if the Thieves or the Foo win this series? |
|
7. Foomanchu |
7. |
4-2 .666 |
Ok, that wasn't so bad. But what have you done for us recently? |
|
8. Infantry |
4. |
4-3 .571 |
Did the Infantry wait until they saw the whites of the Louds eyes? Will the Muffs give them that much time? |
|
9. Loudmouths |
3. |
3-4 .429 |
OUT! The first tragedy of the NSHL7 playoffs. Expect to hear demands for divisional realignment coming from Westwood. |
|
10. Eagles |
8. |
2-4 .333 |
OUT! There will be no on ice Spirit-Eagles series this post season. |
|
11. Spirit |
5. |
2-4 .333 |
OUT! See comment above. |
|
12. Stompers |
10. |
1-4 .200 |
OUT! Never mind what we said earlier about .500 in the playoffs. |
|
13. Psychosis |
11. |
1-4 .200 |
OUT! Did anybody besides LC really think that Langenbrunner would help? |
|
14. Stranglers |
15. |
1-4 .200 |
OUT! One must presume that the team nickname comes from their perpensity to choke! |
|
15. Ice Terrors |
16. |
0-4 .000 |
OUT! A new broom makes a clean sweep. |
|
16. Scorpions |
12. |
0-4 .000 |
OUT! Not as much sting as was advertised. |
|
17. Blades |
17. |
34-35-11 |
Did not qualify (DNQ). The best of the worst would have been 3rd in the Nystrom, 2nd in the Schultz and 4th in the O'Reilly. Could it be the curse of the GTA teams? |
|
18. Booze Hounds |
18. |
26-43-11 |
DNQ. The other Semenko team that would have made the playoffs in the Schultz division. |
|
19. Useless Twits |
19. |
27-45-8 |
DNQ. Even the Twits would have made the playoffs if they were in the Schultz Division. |
|
20. Blazers |
20. |
26-47-7 |
DNQ. Couldn't make the playoffs even in their Schultz division. |
|
21. Fat Guys |
21. |
26-50-4 |
DNQ. Who ranked them at 13? |
|
22. Highlanders |
22. |
21-45-14 |
DNQ. They played some decent hockey at times this season. Just not many times. |
|
23. Buzzards |
23. |
17-50-13 |
DNQ. Thirteen tied games? |
|
24. SunDogs |
24. |
18-58-4 |
DNQ. On a bright note, the SunDogs set no league records for futility. And you thought that the Stranglers were bad in NSHL6! |
