Victoriaville is another team who is surprising so far, they're second in the league in goals for with 41, and 1st in goals against with 19. Cormier is having another amazing start to the year, as is Pellerin. For a team with no NHL drafted guys or big "stars" they're a really solid group.

Has there ever been a team that has been predicted by everyone to be so high, end up as low as Blainville did? I think they did an amazing job adjusting on the fly and playing the cards they were dealt. They set themselves up amazingly for the future. For their sake, I hope their franchise stays in Blainville long enough for those fans to benefit from it.
The most consistent top team the entire season would have to be Sherbrooke. They didn't have the long winning/point streaks as the other top teams, but they were steady. Gatineau looked very dangerous in the 2nd half. Halifax had their 25 game point streak to balance out what ended up being an awful November. Quebec was hit by injuries late in the year similarly to Gatineau at the start, but cached enough points for first overall and home ice throughout the playoffs.
I mentioned in another thread that the top four teams by points haven't all made the semi-finals together since 2010. There's been an upset somewhere along the way each year since then. We'll see if they make it this year.

Sherbrooke also had a tougher stretch in November-December when they lost 8-9 games in a row on the road. They were ahead of Quebec before that part of the season.

What a fantastic season. Four 100+ point teams, the last two spots being decided on the final day, top half will be very competitive in the playoffs.
What more can you really ask for? Hopefully the playoffs are just as entertaining.
