The cup is finally in the hands of the players

[MetalToday 266]

With the VHLE playoffs now complete, it was one hell of a year. The first team to ever win the Europe cup is now known to be the Vasteras Iron Eagles. This was the 4^th and last team to actually make it into the playoffs which sounds insane, but the season was a really close season, with 2-5 places were 5 points from each other. Regardless, the Iron Eagles take the brand new VHLE cup home first. Willy Myers and Saku Kotkakoivu were the absolute beasts during the playoffs for the Eagles with 24 and 23 points respectively, as Willy had a goal a game. It was a slight surprise Kyle Peace and Shaggy Tipton didn’t get the points they got in the season, but they were still beasts in the playoffs with 19 and 18 points each. With regards to goaltending, it was no surprise Xavier Booberry was amazing as usual, and got an amazing .917 save percentage with 3.21 goals against average. The Eagles were amazing this year and are likely going to try to be a powerhouse next year as well, they definitely want to prepare a bit better, so they do not go to game 7 in every series again.

 

Congrads to the Vasteras Iron Eagles and enjoy being the first players on that new shiny cup!
