That being said I was proud of our performance against NY in the playoff game. We went from losing 45-9 in the regular season to 11-6 in the playoff game shutting them out in the 2nd half except for a safety (by the way congrats to NY for moving on!). Without a doubt though NBSK is the favorite and i'm sure they'll move on this time. That will definitely leave an even bigger battle in the east the following season if they do move on.
You guys did an amazing job this season. I agree that next season will be tough - the East is still going to start the season 11 teams deep in potential contenders, and that's if none of the lower tier teams make some big moves - but I have to think the Makos are favorites for a 2 or 3 seed.

Nothing less then getting to the finals and advancing up a league will suffice for Rapid City. Nothing personal of course, we love you guys
