Who's Missing?: Last night's results solidified the WHA2 playoff picture, and the Seals loss eliminated them from playoff contention. The top four teams in order are Jacksonville, Alabama, Macon and Miami. Jacksonville will play Miami in one semi-final series, while Alabama will play Macon. The semi-finals and league final series will all be best of three series.
Sniper Battle: While playoff positions are determined there a couple of key individual races that will be affected by today's game. Macon's David Deeves is one point ahead of the Seals' B.J. Stephens in the overall points race, but Stephens leads Deeves by three in the goal scoring race.
