Well, that was fast. The VHLM playoffs started on Tuesday, which was highlighted by four dominating performances. The longest a series went was five games. Lets take a look at each series, starting with the first seed Ottawa Lynx beating the Las Vegas Aces Ottawa Lynx vs Las Vegas Aces Ottawa wins 4-1 As the GM of Las Vegas, I had some hope heading into the series. The Aces had been playing well heading into the postseason, despite trading most of the good players at the trade deadline. The stunning game one win for Vegas acted as the wake up call for Ottawa, who demolished them in four straight games to win the series. Vegas even winning a single game in this series is enough for them to be happy about. Goaltender Solomon Crawford struggled through the series (with exception to game one), and Vegas simply could not keep up with the high powered Lynx. Nine players on the Lynx finished with five or more points in the series, including three players with over 10 points in this series. Philadelphia Reapers vs San Diego Marlins Philadelphia wins 4-0 The Marlins had no draft picks heading into this season, and still put together a solid squad that kept this series competitive. While you can look at the series and say "How was it competitive, they got swept?" Well, just take a look at the scores of each game. Every game was within two goals, and considering the Marlins were taking on an unfairly stacked Reapers Squad, that is a good thing to take out of this. Brock Louth and Fang Flashback stole the show, as Louth finished with eight points, and Flashback had an incredible .931 save percentage and a 1.75 GAA. Minnesota Storm vs Houston Bulls Minnesota wins 4-0 Well, count me as surprised. The Bulls have arguably the best defense core in the VHLM, with Charles Drumm, Banko Mulleto, Jeff Downey, Frederick Elmebeck, and Khalabib Stiopic. In this series, that clearly wasn't the issue. While they allowed 13 goals through the series, they only scored two goals in the four games. How is that even possible. Storm netminder Virgil Ligriv had a 0.68 GAA and a .972 save percentage. A season that had promise for the Bulls ended in bitter disappointment. Defenseman Kefka Palazzo and Hugh Chan were the top performers for Minnesota, with seven points each. The series between them and the Reapers will be a great one. Yukon Rush vs Halifax 21st Halifax wins 4-1 Yukon came into the series as the favorite to win, but their offense fell apart against the 21st. A dependable offense, with star talents like Frans Eller and Brendan Plunkett, failed to produce anything in this series, only scoring six goals in five games. The Halifax beat the Rush off of their all around attack, as all but four players scored at least a point, and nine players had at least three points. Yukon goaltender A Red Guy didn't face many shots, but didn't save many either. He only had to face an average of 18 shots per game, but still had a 2.67 GAA, considerably worse than Throvald Gunnarsson, the Halifax netminder. It was a rough series for Yukon, who headed into the playoffs as possible contenders. With the first round complete, we can look towards the semi finals. We have the Storm facing the Reapers, which is easily the best series so far. We also have the Lynx taking on the 21st, which should be interesting. The Ottawa offense is on fire, so we will see if Halifax can contain them. Predictions: Storm vs Reapers: Storm in 7 Lynx vs 21st: Lynx in 5

eh. He's meh. Nothing special

Moscow acquired their two most important players from Riga; now they face each other in the wild card round. With Randoms and Podrick Cast leading the way, the Menace will take on Ryan Kastelic and the Riga Reign to try to make a date with the Helsinki Titans in the semi finals. Lets look at both teams to see who has the edge Moscow Menace vs Riga Reign Season Series: 6-2 Riga The Moscow Menace were introduced to the VHL in the S65 offseason, when the VHL expanded from 8 teams to 9 teams. They had a truly horrendous first season, with only 9 wins. The next season, they struggled, barely finishing ahead of Malmo in eighth place. In that offseason, they decided they had enough of tanking. They traded for Randoms and Podrick Cast from Riga in exchange for many picks. They also got Roger Sterling from Vancouver, to solidify themselves in the defensive zone. They still struggled defensively, but improved on last season by over 60 goals. Riga is one of the better teams in the league on offense and defense, trading for Elias Dahlberg and Joseph McWolf in the offseason. The Menace, in their first ever playoff series, will have to stay poised against a team that has been in the playoffs since the past five postseasons. Roster On offense, the talent Moscow has is undeniable. Their offensive firepower is fueled by Podrick Cast breaking 100 points, and Randoms breaking 80. They also have Jet Jaguar and Dan Baillie scoring at a point per game clip, and solid depth players in Mark Gebauer and Jorgon Weyed. Riga also has a very solid offensive attack, with Ryan Kastelic's switch to center being the turning point. He turned in a remarkable hot streak at the end of the season, finishing with 86 points. He is complimented by Joseph McWolf on the back end, and Elias Dahlberg and Pat Svoboda on the wings. All three of those players were traded for in the great Riga Re-tool, which I have copyrighted. The young guns in Apollo Hackett, Mikko Aaltonen, Lincoln Tate and Hunter Hearst Helmsley have also kept this team a float. X Factor Moscow The two right wingers, Mat Tocco and Jorgon Weyed, will have to step up. In both cases, the two other forwards (Jaguar+Randoms, Baillie+Cast) have had elite seasons, with over 70 points. Tocco and Weyed have not been up to that standard, with 23 and 57 points respectively. Moscow needs those two, especially Tocco, to step up if they want to defeat the more experienced Riga Reign. Riga HHH had a poor rookie season and followed it up with a disappointing sophomore season. If Riga wants to beat Moscow, HHH needs to step up his game. The line of Svoboda-HHH-Sigurdsson has been lack luster all season, but HHH has far greater expectations than the other two. Verdict Both teams have the skill to make it to the semi finals. Riga has been plagued by playoff failure ever since S63, while Moscow is entering its first postseason. It is a battle between the ex-Reign, after Podrick Cast and Randoms were traded from Riga to Moscow. Both teams are very close, and it is was a very tough decision to make. Offense: Moscow Defense: Riga Goaltending: Riga Verdict: Riga in 7 This is going to be a very tight series. If Moscow wins it, I wouldn't be surprised at all. I think Riga's better defense and goaltending will propel them over the highpowered Menace, and Riga will win its first playoff series since they won the cup in S63, and the Roger Sterling 'curse' will continue.
