(S4) - PT #6 - Playoff Scenarios

[HENDRIX]

The Colorado Yeti's shocking upset win against the Baltimore Hawks has really shaken up the playoff scenarios in the NSFC. With a win, the Hawks could have almost guaranteed themselves the 1st seed, but now they're even in danger of missing the playoffs entirely if more disaster ensues. The Yellowknife Wraiths are now the favorites to secure the number one seed, they have three winnable games out of their remaining 4 while the Hawks have two on the road against the two best teams in the league, the Outlaws and Otters. The Philadelphia Liberty are two games back but they are not dead yet. If they get hot and either the Wraiths are Hawks stumble, they could sneak in. They have two massive games remaining, at home vs. the Wraiths and on the road against the Hawks. If they win those two games they will also have the conference record tie breaker secured in case they finish with the same record as either of the other two teams. They also have a very tough game coming up against the Sabercats, but they also have a game against the Yeti where they will be big favorites. I predict the NSFC will finish like this: 1. Wraiths 9-5, 2. Hawks 8-6, 3. Liberty 6-8. (212)
