THE REASONS THE MEXICO CITY KINGS DESERVE A CUP ARE AS FOLLOWS:

·         @Infernal SAYS “INDEEE

·         WHY GIVE SSK ANOTHER CUP? PEACE HAS ALREADY PUT HIS FEET IN THE LAST ONE IN 69
·         WHICH SEGWAYS TO THIS: IF YOU WON THE CUP IN 69 WOULDN’T YOU ALWAYS WANT TO SAY THAT YOU “WON THE CUP IN 69”. IT IS THE BEST NUMBER
·         IT’S MEXICO CITY’S CUP
·         WE BEAT MINNY
·         WE BEAT LVA (ALL DEM RECREATES)
·         SSK IS OFFENSIVE TOWARDS GENDER AND SHOULD FORFEIT THE REMAINING GAMES
·         MEXICO HAS HAD THE HARDER PATH IN THE PLAYOFFS
 
 
SO AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS VALID, SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE FOR THE MEXICO CITY KINGS TO BE AWARED AND REWARDED WITH THE CUP AFTER THIS SEASON.

4 SECONDS INTO OT MJERS CRANKS IT IN @InstantRockstar WHAT A BEAUT

Regular Season Record: 54-12-6 (114 points)
Regular Season Ranking: 2nd
 
Road to the Finals:
Beat the Ottawa Lynx 4-1 in the Opening Round.
Beat the Philadelphia Reapers 4-3 in the Semi-Finals.
 
Best players in the playoffs:
LW Kazimir Komarov (250 TPE), 10 goals, 11 assists, 21 points.
RW Timothy Brown (250 TPE), 4 goals, 10 assists, 14 points, 37 hits.
RW Adam Frence (227 TPE), 8 goals, 8 assists, 16 points.

D King Kruul (216 TPE), 1 goal, 13 assists, 14 points, 46 hits.
G Grekkark Gyrfalcon (250 TPE), 8 wins, .889 SV%, 2.92 GAA.
 
Key to the Founder's Cup: Depth scoring.
This is something that the Saskatoon Wild has done well all season.
With 4 capped skaters, and 5 more entering this final stretch of
games between 200 and 250 TPE, this roster is easily the deeper
of the two present in the finals; two players limited to third-line
minutes are scoring at a point-per-game pace through two rounds.
If every line can score as much as they did all season, they could
very well lift the Founder's Cup in a week or so.

C Jay Jones (232 TPE), 3 goals, 11 assists, 14 points.
D Viktor Alexei Kamenev (250 TPE), 4 goals, 6 assists, 10 points.
D Chance Rust (193 TPE), 2 goals, 7 assists, 9 points.
G Zamboni Driver (250 TPE), 8 wins, .894 SV%, 2.92 GAA.
 
Key to the Founder's Cup: Defensive game.
While Saskatoon has the best offense, the Mexico City Kings
arguably has the better defense. Their goalie is on par with the
Wild's, but they have 4 defensemen with over 100 TPE. They
limited the Minnesota Storm's high octane offense to 17 goals
in 6 games. If they can manage to do the same to the offensive
juggernaut and keep the scores low, it should help their
chances to lift the Founder's Cup tremendously.
 
 
 
Good luck @Motzaburger!

WOOOOOOOOOO #ALLCAPS

1. I think my favorite moment had to be getting all the recreates at the trade deadline. Some really good friends joined the team, so it's always exciting to see them rolling in.
2. I'll throw my support to @Motzaburger and Mexico. Even though they threatened to do some terrible things to us, I'd prefer the team that knocked us out to win it all.
3b. I'm going to be going up to Moscow, and I'm thrilled about it. I get to play with @twists for the first time in my career, and get to keep playing with @Da Trifecta.
4. Give feedback pls and ty ?
5. Was able to meet Marc-Andre Fleury, that was a thrill. He's one of my favorite hockey players since he was a mainstay on the Pens, so it was great to meet him!
6. I wouldn't say rowdy, since I was pretty disappointed. I wasn't able to lead the team to a win, but I'll make sure not to let that happen again.

First Round Review
 
This year’s first-round had some results that were a bit unexpected based on the final standings. The Minnesota Storm ended up leading the league by a mile in the regular season, and once the playoffs arrived, they struggled. The Saskatoon Wild and Philadelphia Reapers pulled away from the chasing pack as well in the regular season, carrying that momentum forward into the playoffs, and what looked to be the hardest-fought series between the Mexico City Kings and Las Vegas Aces was fairly close, but not the closest. 
 
Minnesota Storm vs (8) Miami Marauders
 
This series put the 122 point Minnesota Storm up against the expansion Miami Marauders, who with 62 points, had only slightly more than half of what Minnesota did. Most would have expected this series to be a sweep, or at best 5 games. That’s why they don’t play these games on paper. Minnesota ultimately did advance past this series, but it took the full complement of games to do it. Miami taking the top seed to 7 is a fantastic accomplishment for the expansion franchise in its first season, and they should be proud to have done it. However, having that taste of victory in their mouths only to have it ripped away cruelly, in the end, will just leave these guys hungry for more heading into next season.
 
Saskatoon Wild vs (7) Ottawa Lynx
 
Ottawa, the other playoff team besides Miami without really that strong a performance in the regular season, performed a bit more closely to what might have been expected. This series was never close, with Saskatoon taking the win in 5 games, and most of the actual games weren’t that close either. In the three worst losses they were outscored a total of 20-5, and those aren’t the type of scores you’d write home about, even as an underdog. The 4-2 loss in game 2 wasn’t bad though, and they did win a game, although 4-3 in overtime is not the most convincing of wins.
 
Philadelphia Reapers vs (6) Mississauga Hounds
 
This is a series that perhaps should have been closer than it was. There was only a 17 point gap between these two teams in the regular season, so Mississauga certainly competed well enough to look like a threat. Ultimately, Philadelphia had been favoured for a reason and made that perfectly clear in the series, but this is one that should easily have gone to 6 or 7 games. Instead, the Reapers finished their business in 5, and the Hounds were unceremoniously removed from the playoffs in the same number of games as the Lynx who were a significantly worse team. Unlike the Lynx though, the Hounds made some of their losses competitive, with games 4 and 5 in the series only going Philly’s way by a goal each. 
 
Mexico City Kings vs (5) Las Vegas Aces
 
This series was easily the headliner of the round going in, based on expectations. These teams finished only a single point apart, and they both spent the season among the more competitive teams. Both would have harboured dreams of a playoff run as well, so it was especially harsh on one of them that they ended up facing each other. That team ended up being the Aces, a team with a lot of late regular-season drama over a sudden influx of players. These players obviously didn’t end up helping them quite enough as the Kings dumped them out in 6. Interestingly, thanks to a single 8-2 drubbing in game 2, Las Vegas actually outscored Mexico City over the course of the series, but it’s only the wins that count and the Aces couldn’t find enough of them in total. 
 
Second Round, As It Stands
 
This leaves us with only four remaining teams, and it’s the top teams in the standings who advanced. There haven’t been any upsets yet, at least in terms of series wins (there have been in terms of individual games and competitiveness of series) so we find our semifinalists all with a real chance to win the cup. Can Minnesota, the regular season favourites, shake off the playoff jitters that nearly removed them unexpectedly in the first round? Can Saskatoon and Philadelphia, two teams with not much between them in the regular season, produce a close and exciting series? 
 
Minnesota Storm vs (4) Mexico City Kings
 
This series was expected to be a rather wild one, and so far it has not disappointed. Minnesota would have assumed they were the better team coming in, but after their performance in the first round, Mexico City will have liked their chances as well. As it stands, it’s been a fairly close one, 3-2 in favour of Mexico City. Most of the individual games have been close as well, with the exception of a 7-0 Kings win. The series could still go either way, but since the Storm can’t afford another loss, it’s just about favouring the Kings right now. 
 
Saskatoon Wild vs (3) Philadelphia Reapers
 
One seed apart. Separated by 3 points. Both took their opening series in 5 games. If there’s one series that would be expected to come down to the wire, this is that series. So far, it has lived up to that billing in terms of the total games (3-2 in favour of the Reapers) but not so much in terms of the scores. There has only been a single game that has been close, a 3-2 overtime win that went Saskatoon’s way, whereas the other Wild win and all of the Reaper wins have been blowouts. 5-2, 6-2, 5-1, 6-1. As with the other series, it favours Philadelphia slightly because they only need to win a single game, whereas Saskatoon can’t afford a loss, but it’s still up for grabs.
 
Playoff Performers
 
Each of the remaining teams, should they win the cup, will have a few players to look at as the reason they’ve reached their goals. Potential playoff MVP candidates, should things go their way. Some teams will be more of a team effort than others, but every team has its standouts. 
 
If Minnesota wins
 
If Minnesota wins, it will likely be due to the lead from the back style of defender Liam Flaten. 16 points leads a team with fairly spread out offensive contributions and the fact that he’s done it while also defending and preventing opposing goals makes it all the more impressive. Squirrely Dan has been the best of the forwards, with 14, followed by three players on 11.
 
If Mexico City wins
 
Mexico City’s case is harder to make, but Jeffrey Pines just about edges it out for right now. 14 points leads the team, but there’s also a 13 from Jay Jones, a 12 from Arthur Dayne, an 11 from Chris Hylands, and two 9s. They’ve been the definition of a team effort. Of note is the fact that Zamboni Driver has played the most minutes and faced the most shots, but the actual goaltending stats don’t stand out enough really.
 
If Philadelphia wins
 
Here’s the team where the goalie has the best case. John Poremba is the best among both SV% and GAA among goalies remaining in the competition. He’s also tied for the most wins. Adam Syreck has put up 16 points so far, carrying on right where he left off from the regular season, and arguments could be made for Jer Lefebvre and Spencer Elsby depending on how they perform going forward. 
 
If Saskatoon wins
 
Looking at the way the stats have broken down for Saskatoon so far, their best case is probably Kazimir Komarov at the moment, with his 16 points leading the team. King Kruul and Tyler Walker aren’t too far back, and as they’re on defence, that would likely be taken into consideration. Four other guys in double figures for the Wild, most notably Adam Frence, but any of these would need a final round push to breakthrough. 
 
That’s all for this edition of Under 250: The VHLM Review. Thank you all for reading, and stay tuned next week for the inside scoop on all that’s going on in the league. Until next time!
