The biggest recurring storyline for the league is probably the one regarding how the Great Lakes is the most ridiculous division still. Now with Toronto showing that they, too are a contender, it wouldn't be completely out of place to have the league's top four teams to also be the four teams in the Great Lakes division. The fact that any of these four teams would most likely lead every other division within the league should they be re-aligned to do so, should be on everyone's lips. What will happen instead is that one of these four teams will miss the playoffs due to the way the format is for the league, and that will be a true shame. The thunderdome is real folks and it's right by Lake Ontario. What to be done about this problem remains to be seen - some people propose a re-alignment, but that is an odd one as you would likely need to do it several times in the future, if not more. Otherwise, we just need to sit back and enjoy this fierce battle that at least produces some interesting hockey.
