Shannyâ€™s Power Rankings: Week 3

January 13th, 2008 by Brian Shanahan

Week 3

Toronto looked poised for a victory with two minutes left on Friday when a couple of bad penalties turned it around and good weekend goes bad. Buffalo showed a lot of heart getting the split the hard way and the Philadelphia brass must be smiling for a change after a dominant weekend. New York’s win on the road is the biggest surprise for me but there are there are a lot more stories behind the stories. Stay tuned.

1 (1)	Rochester Knighthawks 1-1-0 No problems here despite home loss to Bandits.
2 (2)	Colorado Mammoth 2-0-0 Perfect start, real test will come later.
3 (3)	Buffalo Bandits 1-1-0 Gutsy fourth quarter in Rochester to split series.
4 (5)	San Jose Stealth 1-0-0 Big comeback and OT win on road.
5 (4)	Calgary Roughnecks 0-2-0 Two tough losses. Twice blown big leads.
6 (6)	Philadelphia Wings 1-0-0 Off to a good start. Thompson and Iannuci look good.

11 (10)	Portland Lumberjax 0-1-0 Dawson gets 9 points and they lose.
