I want to see another round before I make a prediction.  I think Swarm will be in the final.  Accompanied by either Thunder or Devils.  Admirals and Stampede will play spoilers in a strong finish.  Basically I’m saying the table now will be pretty indicative of the final.  I just don’t which of the top 3 will falter first.  I haven’t seen Thunder play yet either so I don’t know if they are a storm in a tea cup or the real deal. 

choke is such an overused word.  If Swarm win, I think its because they outplayed the Devils.  Choke diminishes the win for the victorious team.

The thunder to Win the LEAGUE! Always support the local side.

It is going to be decided on the final round robin who will make up the finals teams.  I do not see any team clearing out from the pack. but i will say a split table with Swarm, Devils and Thunder top three followed by Stampede and then Admirals

The thunder are learning to play 3 periods+, while not ideal they know it is not over untill the canary chirps so will be in every game. I predict a split for the  swarm and Devils when they meet in Auckland Next. The Thunder to roll the admirals in both games down south.
