For clinching a playoff berth on March 26th in plenty of time, the end of the season wasn’t very impressive for the Wilkes-Barre/Scrantion Penguins.
As mentioned last week, WBS would have needed a lot of help to get up to the second seed and gain the benefit of receiving a bye from the opening round. As it turned out, it wouldn’t have mattered — Wilkes needed Charlotte to lose at least a game or two and it turns out the Checkers ended up winning all three of their remaining games, rendering all hopes lost.
But the last week wasn’t a positive for WBS, who dropped two of their three games and backed all the way down to the fourth seed.
