Power Rankings - Fall Season - Week Ten

2017 FALLSEASON POWER RANKINGS
RANK	TEAM	RECORD	UP/DOWN	COMMENTS
1	Sabr	8-2-0		Sabr wanted to send a message to the league that they could beat any team and as proof provided a dominant 3-0 win over Haya to end the season.  The team has great goaltending and leadership and seem poised to make the finals.
2	Emaan	6-2-2		Emaan came into their last game against a desperate Ikhlas who needed a win to clinch a playoff spot - Emaan didn't care and despite Ikhlas putting up a fight came away with the win.  An important test going into the playoffs and sets the stage for a big game against Haya at 9pm.
3	Haya	5-5-0		Haya were defeated by Sabr to end their season and needed help from Yaqeen to hold onto 3rd place.  Not the way you want to go into the postseason but this squad has a lot of quality and the core won the Spring Season so they know how to get it done in the playoffs.
4	Shukr	4-4-2		Shukr came into their final regular season game knowing that a win or a tie would bump them into  3rd place so losing to a desperate Yaqeen has to be a disappointment and will now mean that to make the finals they have to beat Yaqeen at 8pm and then face a fresh Sabr at 10pm.  The team has the leadership and skill to make it happen but a tougher path nonetheless.
5	Yaqeen	2-6-2		Yaqeen got a surprise win over Shukr in the final game of the season to clinch the final playoff spot.  Their reward is a rematch against Shukr so they remain the underdog.
6	Ikhlas	2-8-0		Ikhlas crashes out of the playoff picture with a four game losing streak.  Injuries and player absences sunk their chances for the post season

Power Rankings - Fall Season - Week Nine

2017 FALLSEASON POWER RANKINGS
RANK	TEAM	RECORD	UP/DOWN	COMMENTS
1	Sabr	7-2-0		Sabr had to work harder than expected in their Week Nine win over Yaqeen but demonstrated that they can play a tight checking game and still come away with a win.  Maaz Haq sparked his team with a highlight reel effort to get them on the board after being down in the first half and his play sparked them to a 3-1 win.  They end the season with a feature game against Haya which some expect to be a preview of the finals.
2	Emaan	5-2-2		Emaan had their undefeated run of six games snapped in a surprise loss to Shukr.  They applied all the pressure but were outmoved by the veterans in Shukr who did enough to come away with the win.  They end their season needing a win to lock up the second seed and face a desperate Ikhlas who are fighting to get into the playoffs.
3	Haya	5-4-0		Haya swept the season series over Ikhlas with a win last week - dominating the battle of Cambridge.  They need a win and some help to clinch a top three seed which will get them out of the wildcard game.  They end their season against Sabr who will be looking at this as a good opportunity to exact revenge after Haya handed Sabr their first defeat earlier in the season.
4	Shukr	4-3-2		Shukr shocked many with a 2-1 win over Emaan last week but should we really be shocked.  They have a well balanced roster and some great coaching minds on the team.  Their issue has been consistency but they have done enough to clinch a top four seed and end their season with a game against lowly Yaqeen.
5	Ikhlas	2-7-0		ikhlas comes into this game desperate to hold onto the final playoff spot.  They face Emaan to open the night knowing that they control their own fate.
6	Yaqeen	1-6-2		Yaqeen had a strong effort against first place Sabr last game but it was not enough.  They end the season against Shukr needing a win and some help to get into the playoffs.
