Here is the Standings:

Thieves 80
Mustangs 80
Elvis 79
Killers 77

Thieves Schedule Blackdraft, Rats, Elvis, Mustangs
Mustangs Schedule Ravag, Elvis, Rats, Thieves
Elvis Schedule Ingmen, Mustangs, Thieves, Gothic
Killers Dawgs,Ravens,Hearts, Shoot Loose

Not only do the Killers have the worst schedule, I think its not possible for them to jump 3 teams when we all play each other...

Thieves and Mustangs should win next game.....If elvis loses they are in serious trouble..

Prediction....The winner will be the winner of the last game of the season between Mustangs and Thieves....

Looking at the lineups, big advantage MUSTANGS

[digitalmonkey]

Mustangs lose to Ravag!

[sinc]

Who has the tiebreaker between thieves/elvis and mustangs/elvis ?

[digitalmonkey]

The schedule-maker did an awesome job.

[rinswun]

amazingly close but i have a strange feeling elvis is gonna come up big and take the last spot.

[DanielNegreanu]

I have the tiebreaker against the Ghosts and the Mustangs. Not sure who has it between them, but I'm hoping that doesn't matter. I've won three straight games now, and if I run it to six I think that will be all she wrote. As for the Mustangs having a "BIG" advantage in the last game of the season, while four of my top players are unavailable, I wouldn't call his advantage "BIG."

Wow dude, you sure take things to the extreme when it comes to matchups. Sitting Kopitar? Not going to happen. His pool points per game average is a full .200 better than either Stempniak and Jussi.

[DanielNegreanu]

Actually I think the Ghosts are in trouble. No goalies on the first, Toronto goalies on the second, kind of like having no goalies, along with two missing defensemen.

This whole thing really might come down to the last game of the season between me and Serge. One thing you should know now, though, Serge, is if I'm two points ahead of you going into the last game, you are done.

Well I NEED to win tomorrow, because I am sure i will lose Friday...have a VERY BAD lineup on Friday..I figure if Elvis loses tomorrow He beats me Friday then i win Saturday and Sunday I get in...

That might not be enough. Seriously. If I win the next three games you'll have to go 4-0. The key game for me is the Rug Rats, a team that's crushed me all year. If I win that one, I think I'm in. If I go 3-1, I think I'm in because you'd need to go 4-0.

LETS HOPE SO..I actually agree on your asessment on my games..I have no shot to win Friday, I should win today and Saturday and Sunday...

But who knows what happens...I am pretty sure it will either be the MUSTANGS or THIEVES...Elvis made a bad trade that cost him the playoffs...Unless Radulov turns out to be a superstar...

[DanielNegreanu]

Kind of bizarre, but I'm actually going to end up sitting Kopitar tonight after all. He didn't practice yesterday so Stempniak will go...

Lets get the ticker going...Its never too early...

Most Las Vegas books have taken the Thieves and Blackdraft game off the board due to the nature of the uncompetitiveness...However a few books have the game at Blackdraft +1800....

Lets pull it off Nate...ONE TIME....just ONE TIME

Its sort of like AK vs AA ...AK has to win three in a row..

COME ON BABY
