The standings right now:
The G-Phil's Flyers have stormed back from a disappointing week, putting up 44 points. They have had the best week and best month to date by a significant margin. The upstart Micahleks, who have been jockeying with the Flyers for 1st place for the last two weeks, have fallen flat but remain within striking distance.
A few observations:
- The 4th place Mackhawks are closer to 15th place than they are to 1st. They are also as close to being out of the playoffs as they are to 3rd place. This is going to be a wild ride to see who makes the playoffs.
- Tense days in the Aikenhead/Schissel household as both teams are continuing to struggle. I had the Moilers in 2nd and the Shizzarks in 4th at the outset of the season.
- As Commissioner I am supposed to remain unbiased, but I'm really rooting for the Patrik Stefans to make the playoffs after finishing in the worst possible positions the last 3 seasons (11th-13th-11th - too high for the best draft picks, but out of the playoffs).
- In the same vein I am really happy to see the Winter Claassics cementing themselves a position in the top 8 over the last few weeks.
- The best team this week (the Flyers) have more than three times as many points in that period as the worst team (The Vanrooser Canicks). The ratio approximates π and in fact the use of 44/14 (or 22/7) as a stand-in for pi dates back to both Greek (Archimedes) and Chinese (Zu Chongzhi) antiquity
- Speaking of the Vanrooser Canicks, they can no longer use the absence of Kovalchuk as an excuse for sitting at the bottom of the standings - if Kovy was leading the league with 30 points, the Canicks would still be no higher than 15th place.
