What this neglects to mention is of those top 6, they have mainly all won against the same teams in the bottom 6. (Meaning it may just be those teams were unlucky with a tough starting schedule)

The next 3 games for Rochester are 7-1, so it is certainly a fun part of the schedule for us, I look forward to it, and I'm sure they have been watching us for a couple weeks at least =)


If you would change this to "of 5 of those top 6, they have mainly won against all the same teams in the bottom 6" I would agree with you. My Missouri Partisan Rangers are the exception - I've already played all the other 7-1 teams, and only have Rochester left of the top 6, which is a very different schedule then the other 5 teams' schedules in the top 6.

Meh, it's just that we don't play east until our final game. The problem you're encountering here is East is inactive on the forums. =)

No doubt the Rangers have played the hardest schedule in the west, and come out smellin like a rose.

thats pretty true Binestar. I recently tore it up on one of the other forums for some guys bashing BBB for having players higher than level X because the higher level players should all be in at least AA. Needless to say that didn't sit to well with me as there is all of about 1 season of difference. It's not like anyone who wins the playoffs and moves up wants to suddenly be the worst team in A league. Hell half the teams in our division #2 are better than half the teams above us.

That's a bit disrespectful to the west. The west is statistically more competitive at the top than the east right now. Of the top 3 teams in the east, 2 have already played & the #1 & #2 play the #3 in a few games. Cleveland's already lost to the top 2 so even though your in 4th place, you already have no way of moving up the ranks past #3 by beating the team ahead of you unless someone else does the deed for you, and even then if one of the top 3 loses a game, 2 of them already have you beat with head to head victories so the east has already almost locked up it's top playoff spots until the 1 & 2 play the #3, whereas in the west the top teams are still battling it out with not much having been really decided yet. So which conference is easier to discuss, the one that's almost undisputed until the end of the season, or the one that could take a dramatic shift every game?

So you're saying your losses to Orlando & Michigan were solely because you didn't "know how to coach" at the time? Wow.. I really can't wait 'til Swamp Rat sees that...

I dont think it's boastful because both our teams are fairly evenly matched. We have the same rating and both teams have good depth. I definately have learned a lot about how the game works since my first few games. I'm not ashamed at being arookie coach at all. I'll take pride in the fact my team has done a good job of pulling it arround against some other teams. I still get annoyed by the somewhat random factors of the game but I'm willing to bet my team will be performing well in the playoffs this season. If you find that offensive then tough. I run a team filled with good people and I'm proud to have all of them on my team and I believe we are just as good as any team in this league. I have no problem with you supporting your team as you should but I don't have to put up with your condesending attitude or maybe you wont make it past those wildcats this time either to see us in the playoffs.

All i did was point out facts & repeat your own statements.. you just seem a bit sensitive. You wanted people to talk about the east, I'm talking about the east.. if you disagree with what i say, just point out where you believe I'm wrong & move on.. but to resort to name calling just because the conversation isn't complementary towards you...well, as the saying goes, be careful what you ask for. We've all been doing a bit of verbal sparring without having to resort to that sort of thing..

As for the wildcats.. I can't really afford to worry about them at the moment. I'll see them when I see them. But they do have a flair for close games.

Edit: For the record, i didn't even discover GLB til just before playoffs last season, so i'm a 1st year coach as well

This is my 1st year being a coach as well, so not sure how valid of an excuse that is. Elves you have a pretty good team, but let's be honest on paper it isn't as good as Orlando's, Michigan's or Detroit's. Now lucky for you paper doesn't always win games, but I will be suprised if you win the East. But good luck in your quest and maybe you will suprise me. I don't think you should be the one saying anything about anyone haveing a condesending attitude. You were the one saying you are beating teams playing your backups. Well that can't be true, because you do have 2 losses. That is a little condesending in my opinion.

All of you need to watch your rear-views. The New Orleans Voodoo has closed the gap. I won't say much, I'll let our play for the rest of the season say it. Anyone on the remainder of our schedule will find out first-hand!!
