This season was supposed to be the Otters season definitively. Everyone had them as the #1 contender all off season and going into the season, everyone expected the team to absolutely dominate. And, to be fair, they haven't been a let down. At 6-1, they are dominating. Their sole loss, though, is to the San Jose Sabercats, who secretly have usurped the Otters as the front runners to take the division and win the whole kit and kaboodle. It would seem that their incessant tanking for 3-10 years is finally paying off with a big season. Instead of keeping their head above water and making playoffs every year, like Orange County has, and still finding a way to be a top tier franchise, San Jose's route seems to be slightly more efficient. There's still half a season left to go, and who knows how the final set of games will turn out. San Jose has yet to play in Orange County, so if the Otters can take a win there and tie it up, it'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out. San Jose is more defensive while Orange County is more offensively imposing. An interesting turn of events to this season, indeed.
