I know we are going to hear about each others own teams but lets not do that leave your own team out of the equation for once. pick a team that you think could be a lower seed that could realistically have a chance to win their respective league.

West: Leviathans... I think they have the GMs to game plan to create a couple upsets.
East: Red Light... They don't look the most intimidating, but they've posted some BIG wins and have a great management.

I don't think the Moose are a "Darkhorse" ... even before we played them and windsor, we felt Edmonton was the better team. Those that know the Moose and their GM's.. k now that team team will turn it up a knotch and start caring come playoff time
but im going to pick a team above them.. the Ridahz
I don't know why.. but that team just scared me a bit.

Calgary Hitmen-west
Honestly, I think the Hitmen get the better first round matchup. Excellent team. Really were a class act. Leviathan's were the underdogs going into the Conference Championship game, and pulled a slight upset at the time to head to the League Championship over them. That's not to take anything away from the Blue Bombers who are an excellent team as well. I just think the Hitmen match up against them slightly better then the Leviathan's do vs Eternity.
That being said, I think both match ups present upset possibilities, and would love for both teams to meet up in a rematch in the conferance Championship if possible. Would be a great rivalry game.
Assuming the playoff picture remains the same after today's game. I think both the Blue Bombers and Hitmen have upset possibilities ahead of them. Not likely, but possibilities.

I echo that sentiment totally, when we beat the Moose, I thought we had a shot a beating them, I didn't think we would beat them by 21 points. Its kinda like the 2 games we lost earlier in the season when Vancouver and Aspermont beat us, which were both games I thought we shoulda won, and played well enough to win...but you just can't overcome bad-sim luck(turnovers, punts going out of bounds at the 1 yard line, etc, etc), and everyone knows the play-off sims are equally hard to overcome, and often make games closer than they really should be. If PCB doesn't win the East, then there is something very wrong with the playoff sims.
The only thing 2 things good that are going to come out of a first round matchup against the moose for us are, 1) A home game, and home game $$$, 2) When/if we lose we likely won't get promoted to AA(which we really aren't ready for yet).

if they don't i'm going to seriously wonder about them and their playoffs tactics... as to whether or not they're just throwing them so they don't have to face actual consistent competition.

For you to even think that, you're a fucking moron.
We have NEVER been a Top 3 team, and now that we finally are, this is our time to shine.
