Eastern Conference Top 4

1.) Kingston Dark Knights

Record: 9-0

Key Wins: Lethbridge Fighters (29-24), Lincoln Lucky (37-17), New Brunswick Bombers (82-51)

Key Loses: None

Key Games:
Sackville Blitz (9-0) - We all are waiting for Jan. 26 for this matchup! #1 Seed is on the line


My Thoughts:
29 game win streak is amazing! They have pretty much destroyed everyone they have faced even though their schedule is been very weak so far. Jan. 26th will deteremine it all in the East!



2.) Sackville Blitz

Record: 9-0

Key Wins: Lincoln Lucky (45-27)

Key Loses: None

Key Games:
Kingston Dark Knights (9-0) - This game will decide the #1 seed in the East. As you can tell from the Forums the Blitz really, really don't like the Dark Knights. Jan. 26.....where will you be?
New Brunswick Bombers (8-1) - The Bombers just put up 52 on the Dark Knights, does the Blitz have the off to score with these guys? An upset here in 2 games will make the Jan. 26 matchup a mute point for the #1 seed.

My Thoughts:
The Blitz are 9-0 and IMO the clear #2 team in the East, but according to the heated forums with KDK guys they are the #1 team. Jan. 26 will decide who is the clear #1 team. Looking over their schedule they have had 3 games that have won by 6 pts or less including a come from behind win vs the Western Fighting Stanleys. Staying undefeated might be tougher for these guys than the Dark Knights.



3.) Lincoln Lucky

Record: 5-4

Key Wins: S.W.O. Swamp Donkeys (28-23)

Key Loses: Kingston Dark Knights (52-81), Sackville Blitz (27-45)

Key Games:
New Brunswick Bombers (8-1) - Last game of the year, this could have huge implication for the playoffs


My Thoughts:
I know, 5-4! But, Lincoln has had a very tough schedule and have already played the top 2 teams in the East and a very good team in the west. They gave up 10pts in the last 2:02 to lose in an upset to Toronto Storm. I think these guys could win out and pull an upset in the playoffs.


4.) New Brunswick Bombers

Record: 8-1

Key Wins: None

Key Loses: Kingston Dark Knights (52-81)

Key Games:
Sackville Blitz (9-0) - The Bombers look towards this game as a statement game. A win here destroys the Blitz season!
Lincoln Lucky (5-4) - last game of the year, I am sure this 5-4 record will be a lot better by then!
S.W.O. Swamp Donkeys (4-5) - See Lincoln above

My Thoughts:
The Bombers have a good team, but they have played nobody this season except Dark Knights and gave up 81 pts to them! i can see at least 2 more losses this season for the Bombers. The rest of their schedule is pretty much vs playoff teams, time will tell where they stand!

This is just my opinion and for fun, so enjoy!

i dont know where this fallacy comes from that kingston has had an easy schedule. we've had a harder schedule to this point than any of the other top 4 teams in the east.

1) IMO SWO and Lincoln's bad performance has made your schedule look weaker.

2) IMO the West has 4 top seeds (Gaffney, Algoma, Lethbridge & TBS) while the East only has 2 (Kingston & Sackville). Seeing that you guys are the top seed that leaves one true opponent, thus making the rest of your schedule easy.

3) Since you guys are winning every game by at least 3 TDs it makes your schedule look even easier. Essentially by you guys being so good it makes everyone else look weaker

does any of that make sense? These were just my thoughts, not necessarily true

yea i mean thats fair and understandable, but when you compare us to the other teams at the top, they've played worse teams, standings wise. I dunno im not like, pissed, but really i think at the end of the season, most of the top 8 teams will be teams we've already played.

i understand that standings wise we have had an easier schedule, but the fact of the matter is that 7/9 of our opponents that we have beat were "A" last season. And we put up more points against what you call "the best team" knights than lethridge or whoever the other team you said were up there that they played earlier this season. I'm not mad I am just tired of everyone taking us as just a some kind of fluke team, we imo have given the knights the hardest workout the last 3 seasons. Our only flaw is depth on defense, because honestly imo i feel we have a better offense than anyone in this league. just wait till we match our defense with what we do to teams with our offense. Just my thoughts, knudz knows i have tremendous respect for him and everything he has done with his team.

Yeah, I think you guys should be ranked 3rd in the division. Although the final score was lopsided, you guys really challenged us (Kingston) in that game. That being said, Lincoln is a much better team than their 5-4 record indicates. Lincoln won't be challenged the again until they play their final regular season game against.....Oshawa/Avalanche/Bombers. That's going to be an excellent matchup.

so because teams were in A last season means they are suppose to be tough and better than you?

Grise Fjord ^^^Kodiaks^^^ 4-5-0
Moose Jaw Mac Attack 2-7-0
Marley’s Pot Puffing Indigents 2-7-0
B.K. Thunderbirds 0-9
Sacramento Terror 2-7-0
Sackville Waterfowl 1-8-0
Kitchener Krushers 0-9-0
British Columbia Fighting Bettas 0-9-0
