It sucks to lose the last game but, again, nobody can say the effort wasn't there. They got down, found a way to come back, got down again, and still did what they could in the third. The shots were horrific, esp in the third, but Zhugin/Greentree didn't give up. Sure, the shots were bad and they allowed eight goals but that's more contender v. 10th seed than a measurement of their overall effort. They fought the good fight.
The final four spots are set...
17. Sarnia - 54pts
18. Ptbo - 48pts (1gm remaining)
19. Windsor - 44pts
20. Niagara - 42 pts
Losing your last 13 is REALLY bad but at least they're in line for a top pick. I mean... minor victories?
Greentree finishes with 90pts in 64 games. Abraham has 66pts in 64 games, which is what we were all kind of hoping for. Davis and Spellacy with 41 and 38, respectively.
They've got major issues with defence, their next crop of veterans, and the goaltending. Plus, the coaches all have to be sorted out. It was a frustrating season for the most part; nowhere near expectations. However... I had fun, much of the time. They showed heart (much of the time), the youngsters are developing, and I'm looking forward to next season. Bring on the draft lottery and the draft!
