Positioning for playoffs

So we had our chance to put us in first place to end the regular season. That didn't happen. Our loss to the Icemen on Sunday took away any shot at first. Here is the scenario so far... We are currently tied with the Squids for first, but they have the tiebreaker with a win against us in our only meeting. The Icemen still have another game to play & if they win, then it will be a 3way tie. They have the tie breaker with us there, they beat us 3 games to 1 during the season. So we could drop all the way to 3rd. It really doesn't matter, the only thing that finishing 1st & 2ND would have done, is give us a first round bye, I do believe. But we'll see the schedule that should be coming out soon. I sent out a email to our players that didn't get to play much this season to tell them, that by GSHL rules, they cant play any more games for us this season. We would have to forfeit games if any player that hasn't played 40% of this sessions games were to play for us in the playoffs. I know there are some players that would have liked to make it out more, but couldn't. Now I had to tell them that even if they had the chance to come out now, they cant. I figured better let them know now, before they show up at the rink & I have to tell them to go home. Well I guess they could sit & watch & support. Well, I shall post the schedule when I get it!! GO MONKEYS!!
