...I say second place in the west will be better for us than first....hear me out before you call me an idiot.....we have a bye week on the last regular weekend of games.....if we finish first it the west it will be three weeks between our last regular season game (October 21st in Winnipeg) and the Western Final (November 12th).....IMO that is way too much time between games.....better to finish second (or even third), get the bye week off for rest and still be keen for the semi-finals.......
I kind of agree... depends on our situation at the time. If we have a key injury, three weeks could be all the difference in the world.
