Rangers will easily take this game against TW 4-0 is my prediction. And for those saying WML is the best team in Ontario, they are hardly a top 3 team in the loop. Had an easy route to the finals in the Silver Stick. Wml did not even top their group, tied two games against the 6/8 team in the west and the 8/12 team in the east. Had one good game against a third-place team in the east. The finals should've been VP. A game VP dominated but WML got lucky. Time will tell but it is clear to many that both HVS and TR are better. And at the moment they may be better than TE but when this second half of the season rolls around TE will be a top 3 team.
LOL - VP had an even easier route to the finals. The played in the weakest division in the Silver Stick, with VR East and Avs, and then got a gift playing NYKs (depleted roster). TR got the toughest division, good showing despite not winning a game.
Dont think WML is that good either but I will give them credit where it is due. No players that stand on the team to me besides the bottom 1-2 players just a good well-rounded team that works well together. A hard-working group that has coaching that really wants to win. Are a successful team and will continue to be successful just do not believe they are the best team in the loop or Ontario. Do think WML are better then VP this year.

HVS not the real deal

VP not near top 3, top 6 are set along with the top 3. TW and TA having tough seasons, they aren’t having much fun this season

HVS 9 game winning streak. Who will stop them? No games against TA and two against TW. The rest have a chance. Does it end with TR beating them?

HVS play many of the top teams in January and Feb. they are good but losses will come just as WML, TR and TE are beating each other recently.

Eek. Just looked at HVS schedule. They definitely are a good team but they WML, TR a few times each over the next 5 weeks or so. Feels like a really battle for top 2 seeds and a bye.
Looking ahead to playoffs, seed 4 vs 5 could be a good match. Maybe TE vs VP. A lot can happen before then but looks that way.

I also just looked at remaining schedule and VP has an easier path. They should finish 4th ahead of TE. HVS will win a bunch but also lose some with their tough schedule, and likely finish 3rd.
Final Standings Prediction based on current standings plus taking into account difficulty of remaining games;
1) WML
2) TR
3) HVS
4) VP
5) TE
6) VR
7) TW
8) TA

VP vs. TE is fun first round matchup.
Any team in that top 5 could take the playoffs, VR as the 6th seed only by default, dirtiest team in the league. 1st round exit.
