Just one more regular season game to go (Hawks v. Crabs) and we now have enough data to render the final verdict on each team.

Hawks - win or lose today, they are the class of the league. They win their games, mostly by big margins, and no real criticism of the team, at least not this year.
Crabs - great team, but they do it with a ton of holdbacks, so they are tarnished
FCA - good team, but the concussion episode was a real black eye, both the failure to pull out the concussed player and the awful way the coaches and players cheered the dirty hit. Disgraceful.
Next Level - kudos for sneaking into the playoffs, but a horribly under-performing team. given the sorry state of DCE and ML, they should be much better, but they can't score goals, and the gap between the top 3 and NL is pretty wide.
MadLax - gotta hand it to them for avoiding the embarrassment that everyone expected. They won three games, but all against the weaker teams, and it looks like many of their players are fly ins. basically a less talented version of red hots.
DCE - not sure where they went wrong, but defense, goaltending, face offs need work, and I expected more from this team, combining a good MadLax team and a decent BLC team, they should have been a lot better than they were.
Team 91 - close losses to FCA and Madlax were nice, and they vastly improved their face off game, but they have a lot of trouble scoring goals, and they seem to struggle with basic throwing and catching, which makes it hard to win many games.
Team Money - a solid AAA team who ended up in the wrong division.

Congrats on a fun season and on to high school!
