My Anaheim Outlaws are in an intriguing position as we wrap up the regular season and head towards the playoffs. We are fortunate enough to be in a three team division, which means we are guaranteed a playoff berth. While we currently sit in 13th place in our conference, it is a far cry from being as poor as many predicted we would be. We currently are leading Detroit by a point and are just two points behind Nevada for the 12th spot (not bad for an "expansion team" without and expansion draft ). While the odds will certainly be against us in any playoff matchup, we are hopeful that we can make a bit of noise and make our 1st round series interesting. With folks like Samuelsson and Bouchard racking up the points lately, and others (including myself) chipping in as well, we are not the pushover team that we were at the beginning of the season. We are very proud of what we have accomplished and what we are building towards, and whoever draws us in round one is in for more than they are bargaining for.
