1) The majority of Naismith teams will tank a league game to ensure moving on in the cup.
2) A max enthusiasm vs. a Naismith team that has normalled 2-3 times and TIEd the rest won't make a difference.
3) Later rounds you will not have TIE vs CRU option, only playoff normal vs playoff crunch.
4) As I said before, 1/4 final or semi is possible, but no cup win. It's just not going to happen.

Alright. With Storm and Kings out, I think the frontrunner to win it all now is Panthers. I personally thought Kings would win it when Panther's PG fouled out early in the second quarter and the game was tied. I definitely don't think I can deliver a loss to Panthers, but there are still many Naismith teams and they should at least have a shot to beat the best team in Canada.

The way things are now, I stand a better chance VS Naismith teams that are not the top teams of Canada, say below rank 5 in Canada. I'm not saying I'll win, but I do have a shot and better odds than VS the top teams of Canada.

Yeah, this round showed me a few things, so for now, I'll just change my thinking to reach the finals for now. It is quite a stretch, but if I get lucky and avoid any top 5 Canadian Teams, then finals could be possible.

I was not expecting Sask Storm to tank than game, so what the heck do I know. Best of luck achieving your goal!

Yea, sadly my starting PG got injured for the 2nd half and he's now out for 3 weeks...What's ironic is I upgraded from basic to advanced a few hours before the game started and I got hit with a 3wk injury. Anyways, it is a bummer (Along with the cup elimination), but I suppose a silver in the lining is I got a slot open for PG training :/

I'd say they are the favourite for Naismith this season, and is set to pull off the dual win.

Congratulations LPP!

Just got back from a week in Quebec City...

Congrats LPP! Simply untouchable that game and for most of your tourney!
Would have loved a cup win for personal reasons, but knew it was a longshot!

Have a great rest of the season.

Hey thanks everybody! It has been quite awhile since winning the cup. The last win was the first season that we changed the cup name to Kumiko Cup. Let us always remember her.
