Defense Still Wins Games

Large goal differentials not the norm for Eastern Conference leaders

Offense may sell tickets, but a strong defense is still needed to put wins on the board. Of the six Division leaders (there is a tie in the Mountain), only Ontario (Pacific, +17) and Idaho (Mountain, +16) are in double figures. Even the Mountain's #3 Colorado (+14) and the Pacific's #2 in Stockton (league-best +19) have been lighting it up.

But the rest have been keeping things close. Reading has bolted to an 8-game win streak to lead the Atlantic, but has scored just one more goal that its opponents (41-40). Cincinnati (+3) leads the North and it doesn't even have the best differential in its division (4th place Kalamazoo is +6). Gwinnett also is at +6 to lead the South, despite scoring fewer goals (48) than second place Greenville (53, +5 Diff) and third place Florida (56, -2 Diff).

Alaska - consistently the class of the West - is only fifth in scoring in the conference (45). But with a +5 Goal Differential, still sits atop the Mountain Division, tied with Idaho.
