Prediction for top 8

[hockeyfan]

1 Clinton
2 Tilsonburg
3 Ripley
4 Durham
5 Shelburne
6 Saugeen Shores
7 Petrolia
8 Huron East


2 to 4 will be close could be a tie between the 3.

1 Clinton
2 Tilsonburg
3 Ripley
4 Durham
5 Petrolia
6 Saugeen Shores
7 Shelburne
8 Shallow Lake

I think Shallow holds on over the Cents. Cents have been too inconsistent. Shallow keeps grabbing unexpected points. Saugeen is playing better and could even move up to the 5 spot.

[striker2015]

1 Clinton
2 Tillsonburg
3 Durham (tied with Ripley but wins tie breaker)
4 Ripley (see above but loses)
5 Shelburne
6 Saugeen
7 Petrolia
8 Seaforth

By going over the schedule and guessing who should win the remaining games...although this year nothing has been predictable.

Makes for great hockey however.

i wouldn't put shallow lake in the top 8. they have been much better lately, but look at their remaining games. clinton, durham, durham, saugeen. ouch. that new kid they added is carrying them, though.

seaforth has a tough schedule too.

winterhawks in a tough stretch right now with durham, ripley, clinton, but then they finish up with elora, lucknow, shallow lake and milverton. they'll be in.

shelburne has the easiest schedule in the league. they're in.

petrolia should be in. toss up between shallow lake and seaforth to see who steals more points down the stretch, i'd go with seaforth.

wouldn't count out milverton just yet. lots of games left to play and should get some points out of them.

ripley has been human since hamilton has been out, they might slide down a bit if he isn't back soon.

Lets see if the numbers tell the tale at the end of the year. If you use winning % here it is currently:

1. Clinton 100%
2. Ripley 76.9%
3. Thunder 76.7%
4. Durham 75%
5. Shelburne 61.5%
6. Petrolia 46.6%
7. Saugeen 46.1%
8. Shallow L 43.8%
9. Huron East 42.8%
10. Milverton 36.3%
11. Tavistock 30.8%
12. Elora 12.5%
13. Lucknow 12.5%

[mrsouth]

1. Clinton 20-0
2. Tillsonburg
3. Durham
4. Ripley
5. Saugeen Shores 6-1 to close out the season
6. Shelburne
7. Petrolia much better than their record, but tough start hurts
8. Huron-East much better than Shallow Lake and easier schedule

Things may be interesting with these final games, I agree with mrbuzz, just looked at Milvertons and Seaforth, crushers, and squires schedule .Not saying Milverton will make top 8 , but they could make things interesting.,

[thebeancounter]

1. Clinton
2. Ripley
3. Durham
4. Tillsonburg
5. Shelburne
6. Saugeen
7. Petrolia
8. Huron East

That final spot is really close and Huron East may take it because they are 1 point up now on Milverton. Big game between the those teams on the 19th. Milverton maybe needs a regulation win to get in the 8th spot.
Tavi could surprise, but I don't think they have enough games left plus they don't play teams they need to catch.

Here's how I see things developing. Only sure thing, Clinton finishes first. That didn't take a lot of thought. After that, it gets tougher. Lots of "ifs"..... if Tillsonburg beats the Radars they will take second place. If not give them fourth. The winner of Ripley/Durham game takes second, loser gets third.(see first if). 5th./6th./&7th. could very well be a three way tie, but let's give Saugeen 7th. and I don't know how they break ties so we'll let Shelburne and Petrolia fight it out for 5 & 6. I agree 8th. place up for grabs with the winner decided by that game on the 19th.(Huron East @ Milverton). All of this depends on teams beating teams they should beat. Getting upset now could be very costly in the standings. So, with all this being said let's go with:

1.Clinton
2.Ripley
3.Durham
4.Tillsonburg
5.Shelburne
6.Petrolia
7.Saugeen
8.Milverton

[daveyboy]

1 Clinton
2 Durham
3 Ripley
4 Tillsonburg
5 Milverton
6 Saugeen
7 Shelburne
8 Huron East

I know thats a crap shoot, But you never know.

[snocain]

Predicting is a fools game.

[mrbuzz]

then call me a fool!

shelburne losing to lucknow I think drops them to 7th in the end. milvy might even get past them.

based on their schedule, i’d say saugeen jumps to 5th, which sends em to tillsonburg in 1st round instead of ripley or durham.

1 clinton
2 durham
3 ripley
4 tillsonburg
5 saugeen
6 petrolia
7 milverton
8 shelburne

[mrsouth]

1. Clinton
2. Ripley
3. Durham
4. Tillsonburg
5. Saugeen
6. Shelburne
7. Petrolia
8. Milverton

Saugeen and Petrolia could be tough outs in the first round. Feels weird not seeing Tavi on this list.

[ricky]

1) Clinton
2) Tillsonburg
3) Ripley
4) Durham
5) Shelbourne
6) Saugeen
7) Petrolia
8) Huron East

Positions 5-8 could easily move around.
