Garbage. We deserved to drop out of the rankings. Sometimes I think it might be best for the team seems to me they played better before the top 10  Maybe other teams wanna beat the Dog even more now that they are considered a top 10 team. |

Heaven forbid they only have 2 Q teams in the Top 10.

No one has been playing well since the Top 10 standings. Lucky for us Halifax and Cape Breton were losing when we were or we could be in third right now. Now they continue to lose and we are gaining some points which is good. Judging by last road trip this next long one will be a huge challenge to the team.

Come on people .....what do we want, we still have the second best w% in the league at .643 behind only R.N and B.C tied at .655.... So we had a bad week...so did everyone else.
I see no reason why we shouldn't be in there again this week....hopefully we beat the Huskys and Titan this weekend and move up some next week, we can't complain when we don't make the top 10, then moan when we do.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I get to disagree with habh8er again! Come on man wake up. People that complained when we were out of the top ten had every right to complain. We were winning, and impressively at that. (Although I will admit I never complained because I could care less about these rankings). Now people are saying they are surprised we're still up there. Why? Because we have not been impressive lately, and it goes far beyond just one week of unimpressive hockey. Look at the Sea Dogs of the last...three weeks or so. Does their play resemble what one would expect from a top 10 team in all of Canada? Not to me. Our play as of late looks to me like...how I expect a .500 team to be playing. Win some. Lose some. Don't really look all that great out there doing it. People have as much right to call a team out for poor play as they do to praise the team for excellent play. |

I don't care. My concern is playoff time. Right now we keep playing like this, our top ten ranking will not stop us from going out in round one. If anyone watching this team for the last three weeks or so thinks we look like a top ten team for the whole country...well...you must all be die hard Leafs fans too. Your comparison base is fucking flawed. ;D |

Nope. Just proving a point. We're not playing like a top 10 team. I don't think we belong in the top ten. Saying "we can't complain when we are left out, then moan when we're still there" is wrong. By that statement we could lose our next 15 games and we'd all have to keep saying we should stay in the top ten, because at one point, when we were playing amazingly, we were saying the team belonged there. Back then the Dogs were winning games and dominating opponents on a consistent basis, just like a top ten team should. They aren't at the moment. Hopefully they get back to doing so, and soon. |

I could care less if we stay ranked in the top 10. I guess we don't disagree after all....I could care less about the top 10 either. It doesn't make us a better team because we are ranked ...or a worse team because we're not. But if we look at w% and only w% then the Dogs do deserve to be the 3rd ranked team from the Q..... it's like complaining about the weather, if thats your thing....have at it. Not saying anyone shouldn't say whats on their mind, but we are never all going to have the same opinion about anything....including the weather  |

This is a team that was to only be a .500 team this year! Yes they have played great at home, and ok on the road. We are first in the East, 3rd over all, 9th in Canada. Who at the first of the year would have ever thought of that?? That being said, I don't think we should pack in the rest of the year. With a little extra focus, and back to basics, I think they can finish as strong as they started. Go Dogs Go!!!! |
