How did no one bring this up until now? Also how did I, champion of the forum pages for teams, forget haha. I’ll try and set this up later as well as the expansion teams in the VHL.
Kinda is and kinda isn't. Teams have won needing only 9 games before (Helsinki in S66 for sure and it's happened before that as well if I recall) but I don't think any team has done better than 13 games when needing to play all 3 rounds.
Dead before we got out of the first. 2 finals appearances in 3 seasons for Lahtinen and heartbreak both times, oh well. Absolutely amazing playoffs from Riga, especially @Greg_Di who just proved to be way too strong to beat.
This is for the expansion draft where they pick assets from the other teams. Also up for grabs will be those draft slots, they decide when they’ll be picking.
@Greg_Di steals the game for sure and is denied a star. First loss for Calgary these playoffs when I got a point I think. GG Riga, gonna be a good series.
The team that needed 14 games to make the finals vs. The team that only needed 8, what a storyline.
Great series NY, as we knew it would be, you pushed us right to the limit for sure.
I would definitely prefer to end the series tonight but man I do love the idea of the cup storyline being 2 wins in 7 vs. 2 sweeps. I don’t know if the league has ever had a cup final with that storyline.
FWIW my opinion is torn between Dawson and myself right now as well, I just like messing with gorlab. Dawson has a bigger point improvement than I did but I went up by more goals.
I want to see Calgary take it in 7. Obviously because I play for them but also because I love the idea of a team that swept rounds 1 and 2 facing a team that needed game 7 in rounds 1 and 2.
