1. Their kids while still very good haven’t developed as much as other kids/teams in the loop.
2.The stuff they do is very predictable
3. They lack in game adjustments when the things they are doing aren’t working

4. They have a couple of really strong defenders who keep others from scoring, but their talent up front is weak. Hence low scoring games for and against them.

And agree their development has clearly not been up to par with other teams.

TW will bit who cares? 6th and 7th will be the same result.

7th play against 12th and 13th in playoffs

If you finish 6th ot 7th the end result is the same, you'll get trounce by the top 4

But in a playoff round robin it is unlikely that TW would beat at least 2 of the top 4 and also win all their other games.

TW also looks like a team of individual over ambitious parents and kids who play for themselves. Look at them in the stands this isn’t a friendly parent group.

The parents in the stands that really are something to see is the circus freak show looking group at DD.

Lets not forget the VR group.

Least offensive parent groups:
Terriers, Jets, West Mall, North Stars, Panthers, Sharks

MNS parent was blowing horn for goals against the jets. Terrible sportsmanship
