Vasteras dangerously close to missing playoffs
With 15 games left in the season, the Cologne Express are hot on the tails of the cursed Vasteras franchise. The Express were down 8 points about a week ago, but have gone on a tear, cutting the Iron Eagles' lead to 1 point. Granted, Vasteras has a game in hand on the Express, but Cologne is far from out of it.
The Iron Eagles are only in the playoff hunt thanks to the stellar play of goaltender Eggly Bagelface. He has firmly planted himself in the MVP discussions, as the Iron Eagle offense continues to lag behind the rest of the league. Below is a look at the remaining games for Vasteras, who has a decidedly tougher schedule than Cologne.
VASTERAS
Calgary 2
Cologne 3
Davos 4
Helsinki 2
Riga 1
New York 1
Quebec 1
Seattle 1
COLOGNE
Calgary 3
Davos 1
Helsinki 1
Riga 1
New York 2
Seattle 2
Toronto 1
Vasteras 3
Additionally, Vasteras has 4 more required games of their backup goaltender. I'm starting to believe that Cologne will be heading to the playoffs.
