Crow does such a great job on these in his conference! I enjoyed them when I was in his conference last year, but this year we were sent to separate conferences. Since the Eastern Conference is without something similar, I thought I would give it a go. Crow, they say that imitation is the finest form of flattery. Here goes:
Rk- Team---record---Last ranking---next game---write up
---Leader of the pack---
#1 Twin Peaks Cherry Pies---(5-0)---(-)---#9 Moncton Machine---Pies have only been tested once and won't be tested this time, either.
---Strong out of the gate---
#2 Flin Flon Flyers---(4-1)---(-)---#7 The Frozen Tundra---Last week's win makes the loss to Quahog all the more difficult to figure out.
#3 Prince Rupert Catsharks---(3-2)---(-)---#4 Rancho Cucamonga Quakes---Two losses to TOUGH team makes them no less a threat in this league.
#4 Rancho Cucamonga Quakes---(4-1)---(-)---#3 Prince Rupert Catsharks---This week's game vs. Catsharks will answer some questions for both teams. For the Quakes, it will explain the loss to the Eagles as a fluke or a sign of things to come.
---Lots of questions, few answers---
#5 Montreal Hawaiian Punch---(3-2)---(-)---#10 Seville Scranton Golden Eagles---They have been up and down like a heartbeat. Impressive losses and uninspiring wins.
#6 Halifax Knights---(3-2)---(-)---#16 West Side Hellcats---They have yet to get that signature win. The Hellcats won't provide that for them this week, either.
#7 The Frozen Tundra---(3-2)---(-)---#2 Flin Flon Flyers---Two points away from a 1-5 record. This week, they have a chance to make a statement.
---The Battle for 8th---
#8 Booty Bay Bandits---(3-2)---(-)---#14 Canadian Bacon---This team is better than it's record. It will be a few weeks before they get a chance to prove it against the Catsharks.
#9 Moncton Machine---(3-2)---(-)---#1 Twin Peaks Cherry Pies---Season opening win streak about to be a distant memory as they take their turn behind the Cherry Pies' wood shed.
---In Danger of falling away---
#10 Seville Scranton Golden Eagles---(2-3)---(-)---#5 Montreal Hawaiian Punch---Losing two winable games in a row has made this a very big game for the Eagles if they have playoff aspirations.
#11 New Amsterdam Chronic---(2-3)---(-)---#15 St. Clair Ice Hawks---Their three losses have come to teams with a combined record of 12-3. They look to get healthy against the hapless Hawks.
#12 Quahog Blumpkins---(1-4)---(-)---#13 Stillwater Cowboys---Still trying to find themselves. A flash in the pan win against Flin Flon will seem even more like a fluke with a stumble against the Cowboys.
---Already playing for pride---
#13 Stillwater Cowboys---(2-3)---(-)---#12 Quahog Blumpkins---Absolute must win vs. Quahog. They don't have many chances left to add to those two wins.
#14 Canadian Bacon---(1-4)---(-)---#8 Booty Bay Bandits---Only win against the doormat of the Western Conference. Lots of fat on this hog.
---Headed down to BBB---
#15 St. Clair Ice Hawks---(0-5)---(-)---#11 New Amsterdam Chronic---A team promoted before it's time. Need to right the ship soon or we will find ourselves back where we started.
#16 West Side Hellcats---(0-5)---(-)---#6 Halifax Knights---18 points scored this season...nuff said.
Game of the week:
#3 Prince Rupert Catsharks (3-2) at #4 Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (4-1)
Two Friends from BBB #5 renew acquaintances. Winner takes a big step towards the playoffs.
