1 Puck Buddies 1 1 1 Schedule gets tougher from here
When the entire team shows up, there is pretty much nothing their opponents can do.
The duo of Batman and Robin continue to successfully defend the Sportsplex from all would-be challengers.
2 Puck U 2 2 2 Have to improve a ton to challenge for top spot
Until they get knocked off, they belong at the top.
This team continues to gel and will only get better; however, their defense needs a few adjustments.
3 The All Blacks 4 3 3 Reclaiming their top 4 spot
An impressive performance against a depleted Ducks.
If TAB can continue to play with their foot on the throttle for an entire game, then lookout PRO Division!
4 Blood Red 5 4 4 Impressed in loss
Two weeks just aren't enough to evaluate this team.
They have an opportunity to solidfy themselves as a top playoff contender if they knockoff DC Pravacudas this Sunday.
5 Ducks 3 6 5 Missed two key forwards last week
If their complete team shows up, they can play with anyone. Unfortunately, that appears to be hit or miss.
Undermanned and overexposed against The All Blacks.
6 DC Pravdacudas 6 7 6 Nice rebound win
Need to prove they can beat a team without a depleted bench.
DCP have adjusted to the Sportsplex dimensions. Expect them to climb up the standings.
7 Funkmaster Redux 7 5 7 Tougher division taking its toll
Strong finish indicates this team has the heart to contend.
They need to find  their offensive chemistry and soon.
8 Snake Eyes 8 8 8 Other teams have passed them by
Need to catch a break to compete
It's extremely hard to compete in PRO Division with a short bench and easily being outpossessed in their own defensive zone.

1 Babylon Warriors 1 1 1 Another unimpressive win
They just keep winning.
There's no quit in this team. Will 2JNC upset them this Sunday?
2 The Moosassins 3 2 2 New talent and depth have them cycling up
They can score. Can their defense hold up?
It's no longer the Chris Thorp show, which means trouble for the rest of the REC Division.
3 5 Minute Major 2 4 3 Missed key players last week
Had an off week against an opponent that overachieved.
They were competitive against an aggressive Streetsharks team, however, 5MM should have put them away.
4 Greenback Boogies 4 3 4 Played well in tough loss
Still a top team, but can't put them above Moosassins.
Andrew Kramer keeps on scoring, however, the defense is still a liability.
5 2 Jacks No Coke 5 6 7 Has more grinders than scorers
It's never a good thing to get outshot by Scabs.
When you shutdown Jake S., then you shutdown 2JNC.
6 SCABS 8 5 6 Typical solid unflashy upset win based on D and goaltending
Gutsy performance by a depleted team last week.
Scabs may have stumbled onto their ideal style of play. Scabs play better when undermanned.
7 Streetsharks 9 7 5 Nice upset over a high ranked team
Only 14 shots against 5MM, but still got a win.
Outhustled a former PRO Division team in order to get a crucial win. Once they find chemistry with their new additions, the Sportsplex might finally be called the "Shark Tank".
8 License 2 Thrill 6 8 8 3rd period collapse keep them at status quo
Hard to tell how they'll do from week to week.
Early season favorites for the  Jekyll & Hyde award in the REC Division if there was one.
9 Stingrays 7 10 9 Comeback to tie showed good guts and gelling chemistry
Need to demonstrate they can hang with a top team. 
This team is still adjusting to one another. The comeback against L2T is a step in the right direction.
10 The Untouchables 10 9 10 Someone has to be ranked last. Only pointless REC team
Strong performance against the champs.
Let's see if they can keep it up. Went toe-to-toe with the REC Champs, they need to sustain this performance in order to get out of the cellar.
           
Rankings are based on performance over the first two weeks plus limited knowledge about what expected changes to team makeup post-week 2.
