We're down to the last few games of Season 4, and the playoff picture is coming into focus. The Victorias and Bulldogs are running neck-and-neck, and both teams have clinched playoff spots. Whichever team finishes in first place (at the moment, it's the Vics by a whisper) gets an automatic berth in the best-of-five Creighton Cup Finals. The second-place team, meanwhile, will host the third-place team in a one-game, do-or-die contest that will determine the other spot in the Finals. The Thistles have the inside track to claim third place, but technically the Comets and the expansion Millionaires are still in the hunt for that last playoff position. The Millies were dealt a blow last night, however, when rookie defenseman Joe Hall suffered a season-ending injury. Up to this point in Season 4, there had been no serious injuries for any player league-wide, but it looks like our newest franchise will have to rely upon the services of free agent blueliner Harvey Pulford for its last-ditch playoff push.
