If we started the season from this week, we'd have impeccable playoff chances. In fact, if we started it any time after the HON trade we'd probably be in the head. Being in such a tough division does is absolutely no favors, but I respect Toof doing what he can to make sure we're competitive. Losing constantly after multiple seasons will take a toll on a team's overall mentality and it was already to the point before that HO thought they should investigate. Our current win streak basically solidifies that the ASFC will be a brawl for a playoff spot. Technically we're 3 games back, but we face everyone else again in the division so with some help from other teams we could sneak our way in. I don't see those top teams sliding 4+ games at this point in the season tho, but I'm sure stranger things have happened. Not really looking forward to the Honolulu-dominate offseason coming up either.
