Power Rankings - Spring Season - Week Two

2017 SPRING SEASON POWER RANKINGS
RANK	TEAM	RECORD	UP/DOWN	COMMENTS
1	Shukr	1-0-1		Shukr surprised Yaqeen last week and escaped with a 3-1 win.  Teams have been keying in on Maaz Haq to start the season and so far he hasn't found the back of the net but Shukr has been getting great support from all three lines they put out there which has been the key for their early success this season.
2	Yaqeen	1-1-0		Yaqeen dominated stretches of their game against Shukr last week but little mistakes came back to haunt them.  Their forwards are strong and deep so look for them to quickly bounce back against Ikhlas in Week Three.
3	Ihsan	1-1-0		Ihsan defeated rival Ridha in Week Two with a gutsy effort with multiple players injured and a short bench.  Without star goalie Ahmad Mobin and top forward Humza Chaudhry in particular things looked down but a great effort from the rest of the team saw Ihsan take the win.  They face Haya in Week Three how had a solid win over Sabr last week.
4	Ridha	1-1-0		Ridha looked unstoppable in Week One but Shaukat Khan was not available and their offense seemed to be limited without him.  Mohammad Bilal created a number of chances but wasn't able to click with his linemates and the result was a 1-0 loss against rivals Ihsan.
5	Haya	1-1-0		Haya bounced back from a Week One humbling with a strong win in Week Two over Sabr.  The were led by Farooq Sani who keyed the offense with his hustle and deft passing as he created the game winning goal and sealed the win with an empty netter.
6	Sabr	1-1-0		Sabr struggled against Haya last week, they created chances but were not able to finish around the net which cost them the game.  A big game against Ridha in Week Three will be another test to see how strong this team is as they will need to come up with a better effort in Week Three.
7	Emaan	1-1-0		Emaan caught Ikhlas for a 3-1 win in Week Two, their hustle created chances and they got the bounces to finish them.  A big test in Week Three against Shukr is up next and will need another great effort.
8	Ikhlas	1-0-1		Ikhlas dropped their game against Emaan despite being heavily favoured before the matchup.  The big challenge for the team was discipline as they gave Emaan six powerplays and right now have four of the top five penalty leaders in the league.  This is a very talented and deep team but if they cannot stop the parade to the penalty box they will have a tough time winning games.
