With the division finals all wrapped up and the MetalFab MHL Cup finals about to begin in the coming days between the Summerside Western Capitals and the Miramichi Timberwolves, let’s take a look at the current Pool standings.
We’re yet to see any change at the very top of the Standings with Tigersfan22 and Capsfan3488 still holding down the number 1 and 2 spots respectively, however we’ve seen immense change elsewhere in the standings throughout the second round of the playoffs.
Making the biggest jump of second round was 61Karver who used his correct selection of Miramichi Vs summerside in the league finals to vault himself up 13 spots from 25 to 12 in the latest standings. Austonmatthews34 also had a huge jump up 11 spots from 18 into the top 10 at 7th place.
On the other side of things, yours truly had an absolutely horrible second round picking up only 8 points all round and falling 25, yes 25 spots from 3rd all the way down to 28th in the standings, LOOK OUT BELOW!!!
32 people selected Summerside to win the South, which obviously didn’t cause too much of a change in the overall standings, however only 3 people chose Miramichi to win the North, which allowed vib4 to move from 9th to 5th, 61karver to move up from 16th to 12th and truenorth to move from 21st to 16th with the additional 5 points.
Of the 3 to select the T-Wolves out of the North only vib4 selected them to win the league final series.
5 people have completely fumbled the bonus selections with selections of either West Kent or Edmundston out of the North and Pictou or Yarmouth out of the south. Those bonus points, or lack there off as hurt each, myself included as we’ve all falling outside of the top 20.
The top 7 in the standings are all within 6 points and could very much see it all come down to the league champion and playoff MVP as the difference maker.
Tigersfan22(69), 1meanmother(64) and Austonmatthews34(63) all chose Edmundston to win the league title and thus a Blizzard player for MVP, while capsfan3488(67), nsjhlguy(66), and Radulov47(65) chose Summerside to win the championship, the only difference being nsjhlguy chose Trentyn Crane to win MVP, while Capsfan3488 and Radulov47 both chose Drew Sim to win MVP.
The Darkhorse in it all is vib4 who, as eluded to earlier, chose Miramichi to win the championship, but took Adam Rouleau to win the MVP, which currently seems like a long shot with him on the IR.
Of that top 7, 1meanmother, Austonmathews34 nsjhlguy , Radulov47, and tigersfan22 all have Capitals goaltending and David Doucet as their remaining players and can’t see any change amongst themselves, but, vib4 has Will Irvine and Jeremy Duharmel, and capafan3488 has Robbie Rutledge and David Doucet, and could find some separation either for the better or worse based on their performances in the league final.
Theres always a dark side of a deep dive into the standings and entries, everything taken into affect, there can be no change in point separation between Tigersfan22, 1meanmother and AustonMatthews34 who all have the same selections remaining.
I could go on and on in a dive into these numbers all night long, but regardless of what the current standings say, it will all be decided on the ice as the Miramichi Timberwolves travel across the Confederation Bridge to face the Summerside Western Capitals in game 1 of the MetalFab MHL league finals.
Good luck to all in the final round, and let the bouncing puck ever be in your favour
