Even after the tournament the predictions are wrong. 
 
 

Nobody does well on the short bus. A consistent 30-goal player in New York is basically a HOFer ?

Thanks for your consideration.

The Helsinki Titans are proud to raise their 11th Continental Cup Championship banner to the rafters, most in the VHL. After an incredible S66 season, this banner represents the hard work put in by those who were a part of the amazing run we had last season, as well as a glimpse into what this team is capable of doing, once again, for the new additions joining the team this season. Last season was great...now let's go out and defend our title!

@Galdoblame you get a tag too, you beautiful bald guy. BG may be gone, but he will not be forgotten!

Finnish side look to remain atop VHL
 
Helsinki, FINLAND - Heading into last season, only 29 of 117 submitted VHL Predictions selected the Helsinki Titans to win the Continental Cup. Compare that to this season, where, as of this moment, they are the overwhelming favourites with 48/83 selections, it is clear that league perception of the team has changed. After winning their first Continental Cup in three straight tries, the Titans feel they are finally getting the respect they deserve.
 
On paper, the team has done nothing to lose the trust of its fanbase, or VHL fans in general, as they are returning nearly their entire roster that ran through the league last season, with only 4th defenceman Bald Guy leaving the team, through trade. In his place will be inspiring rookie defenders Guillaume Fontenette (@okocha5), drafted 30th overall in the S66 Draft, and Derek England (@PenKnight), drafted 16th Overall in the more recent S67 Draft. Also joining the fray for Helsinki will be rookie Center Jordan Tonn (@MexicanCow123), taken one spot ahead of Fontenette in the '66 draft, as well as goaltender Kolur Bjoernsson (@jblock3), who will look to spell incumbent starter Alexander Pepper (@Sonnet) during a long season.
 
Among Titans returnees, Pepper, Julian Borwinn (@Jubo07), Matt Thompson (@Beketov), and Dan Montgomery (@BarzalGoat) will look not only to defend the team's Continental Cup title, but the 10 individual awards that were won, among them, in S66. Sidney Crosby (@SidTheKid87) and Jesse Wilson (@monkeywrench15) also look to continue their progression, after being arguably the league's best defensive pair last season, putting up a combined 151 points, 280 hits and 253 shot blocks.
 
With the team doing naught but improving, they head into the season looking to make good on their status as Continental Cup favourites, with sights set on a 4th straight Finals appearance!

After a team vote, the Helsinki Titans are proud to announce their captains for the upcoming season:
 
Captain: Julian Borwinn @Jubo07
A player who has done a tremendous amount of work for the Titans, on and off the ice, from the moment he was drafted, there is no better choice to wear the C than the man affectionately known as 'JuBo'. After a breakout performance in S66 that saw him capture almost every trophy imaginable, and wearing an 'A' for the past 3 seasons, Borwinn enters his 5th season with the team sporting a new letter on the front of his jersey.
 
Alternate Captain: Matt Thompson @Beketov
The man who made it no secret he was Cup Hunting when he came to Helsinki, Thompson performed as advertised in the Finnish Capitol, adding another Boulet and another Brooks Trophy to his Hall of Fame resume. Most importantly, S66 was Mission Accomplished, as the Titans won the Continental Cup in Thompson's first season with the team. Now, he and the team look to repeat, as he returns and wears an A on his jersey.
 
Alternate Captain: Kronos Bailey @Quik
Hey, that's me!

Eh hem, what about Helsinki boys

Crosby makes it 6-4 Team Quik

F - Matt Thompson

Helsinki numbah ONE! Proud of the way we all played this year, my stat line might have been an albatross and I don't expect to ever have it again, but glad it ended with some new hardware! Now for the repeat...

Let’s go boys! Quality effort by all. Hell of a team you put together @Quik 

Damn, ngl definitely surprised it ended in a sweep. The two teams I was most worried about facing were Davos and Vancouver, who both had great rosters, so only losing 1 game to the two of them is surprising. 
 
But...FINALLY!!! Two years of being the better team and losing sucked, so going out and dominating the way we should is amazing!

The Titans are the Champs boys!!!!!
 

And that is what we call a mercy killing boys and girls. Really is a shame to be honest, I was enjoying how hype these finals were but sadly Vancouver just couldn’t put up enough of a fight. Not too sad mind you because I FINALLY have the cup again. God damn, I think @tfong won 5 while I was waiting. It’s been a damn long run. Absolutely amazing season from everyone in Helsinki, career years for most. @Quik put together an amazing team and then sacrificed most of his own stats to make it work, @Jubo07 was the best linemate I could have asked for, @BarzalGoat had an amazing year on the blue line, same with @SidTheKid87 and @monkeywrench15. Meanwhile @Sonnet was an absolute rock on the back end. I’m sure I’m missing people and I’m sorry but I’m excited. So glad to have been apart of this great team and amazing run and even more glad that Simon didn’t decide to screw us!

You've seen @Beaviss's GMing quality, I tried to pull a fast one and it didn't work out. At least now @Beketov @Jubo07 @SidTheKid87 @monkeywrench15 @BarzalGoat will have a quality netminder to shoot on for once!

My player alone with 3 penalties in the 3rd period lol, good squad best squad

You keep saying “if” as if everything is a minor problem. You know why they are hiding? Because they can’t score on Pepper, it’s not that complicated. You had 42 shots, it’s not for lack of trying, it’s just for lack of being a better team.
 
Down 2-0 doesn’t look like “going well” from where I’m standing. Neither does fighting to a draw twice after you ran our mouth about how much better you were. Just admit it, Vancouver can’t stand up against us.

Quality game boys. 3 more to go

At me Sonnet 

Nice to see a pile of Helsinki representation!
