We've reached the Mushy Middle™ of the standings. Of note:
That's some Mushy Middle™ parity.
The low end of the Mushy Middle™ finds recent expansion team Viking (9-12-1-0, 19 Points, 84 GF, 101 GA, -0.77 DIFF/GP)
No jokes this time. It might seem like fun to ridicule Viking's average play, but it's actually mean.
- Viking and Revelstoke finished with 19 points but Viking had more wins and so evolves out of the lottery draft.
- The 5th place team, Houston, had 23 points, so only 4 points separates 9th from 5th
- The 6th place team, Brooks, had 21 points, so only 2 points separate lottery from playoff.
That's some Mushy Middle™ parity.
