Against: Currently boasting a .571 winning pct.. The San Fransisco Pride will not make the playoffs.

While the Pride have been a steady bubble team for the last few seasons, I think there chance of making the playoffs will largely be inflated by only needing to be better than three teams in the Panthers, Jets and Chiefs all of whom are going through some level of rebuild and may not have the consistent firepower or goaltending to push them over the edge. The Western Conference is largely top heavy at the moment, so in order to remain in the playoff picture, the Pride need to simply be competitive with a couple rebuilding teams which should not be as hotly contested as it may have been in past years due to the continual development of the team with effective drafting and player growth. And at some point the team needs to stop sucking, right?
