Week 4 Preview: Division Showdowns
By Sophie Tremblay
We've reached the midpoint of the Montreal D1 season, and the playoff picture is starting to take shape. This weekend features four critical matchups that could determine seeding for the postseason. ## Game 1: Thunder (3-0) vs Blitz (2-1) *Sunday, 2:00 PM* The Thunder look to stay undefeated against a Blitz team that's been playing better each week. The Thunder's high-powered offense against the Blitz's ball-hawking secondary should make for an entertaining matchup. ## Game 2: Lightning (2-1) vs Storm (2-1) *Sunday, 4:00 PM* A battle of .500+ teams with major playoff implications. Both teams need this win to stay in the hunt for a top-two seed. ## Game 3: Surge (1-2) vs Flash (1-2) *Sunday, 6:00 PM* Neither team can afford another loss if they want to make the playoffs. This is essentially an elimination game for both squads. ## Game 4: Volt (0-3) vs Spark (0-3) *Monday, 7:00 PM* Someone has to win! Both teams are looking to avoid the winless season and build some momentum for the second half. ## Playoff Picture Currently, the Thunder control their own destiny for the top seed. The Lightning, Blitz, and Storm are all in good position, while the Surge and Flash need to get hot down the stretch. Check back Sunday night for full recaps of all the action!
