Good lord what happened here

goalfest to goalie battle, classic

So, spoiler alert for trivia, Rayz Funk has just matched Hans Wingate's career playoff wins record of 51 with Seattle's Game 7 win over Calgary and now has the opportunity to overtake him. He's done it one fewer game (Wingate retired with his 4th cup in his 80th playoff game, while Funk has just played his 79th) and now will almost certainly make history by claiming the record for himself. He is also on the verge of becoming the 2nd goalie ever, alongside Wingate, to win 4 championships – Daisuke Kanou is naturally the only other with 3. LIVE SIM UPDATE: Funk now has the all-time lead with 52. As Funk looks to cement an already spectacular legacy, the same can be said for Seattle. The chance for 4 Continental Cups in 6 seasons is within their grasp. Would it be a greater feat than the threepeat? Or the Kanou-era Davos 3 cups and 5 finals in 6? There will certainly be a conversation there and I promise, a much more in-depth look at this legendary Bears team will follow. What an achievement regardless for what remains of that famous S67 core – Funk, Greene, Hogan, Sundqvist, and for one more series, Stark. There may be some disappointment over regular season performance but in the playoffs this generation has known how to turn it on arguably more than any other. But let's not forget about the Bears' opponents – arguably the VHL's most illustrious franchise in Helsinki. They've won it in all sorts of ways before and this is one of the more low key editions – a quiet team that didn't really go into a rebuild but has ended up back on top. It's remarkable how this team was built without high end draft picks and even the trades Jubo did make were low profile but landed strong performers like Hafkey, Draven, Bolonee, and Ross. The history that Helsinki can make is add to their streak of winning a Continental Cup in every VHL decade and add to their overall lead with 12. Seattle though could join them at the top with 11. It's 1-1 in the Continental Cup finals between two teams with nothing between them in the regular season – it promises to be a classic.

they all count

Calgary definitely unlucky these past couple of seasons but I guess more teams are gonna be disappointed these days.

No cup for Will Clarke, end it all.

What in the name of God

Smh, Moscow's draft >

A man of taste and culture.

The F stands for fame, not failure.

LaFUCKME

Came in here to blame Kriketers tbh.

One of my faves.

I assume it's from when Enorama had sole custody of HOF articles and was writing them directly on there.

Denied by the mighty Greg Clegane at every turn.

But the results

?

I doubt it would have been worse than what actually happened to the league.
