"They still aren't close to beating M&D, Coppermine or MDU. Keep trying though."
No dog in the fight, but they literally tied Coppermine in LLL.
Lost to MDU TWICE by one goal.
I think a little reality check is in order.
Didn't Crush lose by a good amount to Coppermine in the Championship at Summer Genesis Origins?
The Top teams all took the top 1-3 players from lower level A/top B teams to get better. So the top teams all got better while weakening a lot of the lower level teams in NGLL A and top ones in B.
