The E - About to Finalize Playoff Seeds

[Renomitsu 934]

Stockholm, Sweden – There’s a lot of debate as to whether the Bratislava Watchmen or Stockholm Vikings will make it into the playoffs as the 4 seed. 66 (or for some, 67) games into the regular season, the two teams are equal in games played and just a single point apart, though the Vikings hold a substantial goals for (191-174) lead without much of a deficit in goals against (189-186). It’s been clear for the last couple of weeks that the Vasteras Iron Eagles will be a top two seed, sitting a pretty 9 points ahead of the second-place Rome Gladiators and, barring a catastrophic collapse in the last few games of the season should be #1.

 

Some players have commented that it’s nice to “have the buffer” of the Oslo Storm, who currently sit in the doldrums with just 42 points earned – though 19 wins is not a horrid mark for a team in the thick of a rebuild, with several mid-range players above 250 TPE but not quite hitting 400. On the other hand, in a league supposed to be devoted to competition, it’s a bit frustrating for some to see they’re not even attempting to compete.
