D1 playoff picture emerges
March 10, 2008
With just one game left on most D1 team schedules, the playoff picture is already clear. And as was evident after week 3 of the season, the Spiders will be watching from the BIG bleachers.
The D1 East teams who will see post-season action (with the Spiders’ season record):
- Royals (0–2)
- Fighting Piranhas (0–3)
- Renegades (0–3)
- Lumberjacks (0–2)
Storing their gear for the summer at the same time as the Spiders, that leaves the following teams sitting out the playoffs:
- Jets (who evidently couldn’t open the child-proof cap on their can of whoop-ass…)
- Stars
- Wolf Pack
The playoff schedule is still being populated, but the seed schedule can be seen on the AHA site.
The full current standings (subject to change) showing D1 East and West playoff berths:
