yeah thanks to some serious rescheduling most of our players will be able to make it and I personally would not miss the playoffs for anything. The Knights will certainly be in Raleigh ready to play.

I heard some people within the league felt that the thread I had created previously was "bad mouthing" the league.... I hope that those people who know me realize that I was not attempting to do that.

Good Luck Ronnie... Both your team and the Richmond team have been very competitive all season and I think your series will be very intresting to watch.

[Ronnie Williams]

Great to hear your team will be at full strength......drive safe to Raleigh and good luck this weekend [at least (if) until we play you]

Predictions I like, and are much fun. Ill take Pama Vs. Long Island in the inaugural AIHL finals. I'm sure most people will take Pama in the finals but ill go with Long Island. Either way this year has been great and a lot of fun both to watch and participate. Any other thoughts.

I'm on the Tucson Desperados and we've been told that the western conference final will now just be us against the San Jose Pirates. There will be no Pama/any team from Pacific South division. I've heard reasons why but don't know with 100% certainty so I won't say/speculate.

I hope that is not the case... And if it is the case then some action should be taken. That will be a huge black eye for the league. That division while stacked with talent should have to play by the same rules as everyone else. No minor teams and no where close to 32 games and now possibly a no show for Playoffs? What gives?

If that is the case then my money is on long island to win it all.

[jawz&chum]

no where close to 32 games

your answer.

No So. Cal team will be competing any further this season due to not enough games played.

Too bad because the Pacific South was by far the toughest division in the league with the most talent.

[WoundedPuck]

This being said, who will take the west?
Do the Desperados or the Pirates have anyone who can hold their own at a national level? How does the big east feel about this ruling?

this is a shame... Any reason why they don't play by the same rules? And is this going to continue?
