Looking ahead for the Titans

[ROOKIE745 604]

It may be a bit early to do this but with no playoffs for the Helsinki Titans it's gonna be another long offseason. While the team wasn't expected to make the playoffs they were expected to be competitive and they were. Season 79, the year they drafted Ori the team was 21-45-6 with 48 points, they were last in the European conference and second last overall, only beating Toronto out by one point due to them having one more loose in regulation. Season 80 the team finished dead last in the European conference again with a record of 20-49-3 for 43 points, as bad as this was they were still second last overall, as Toronto finished with just 31 points. Now for season 81 which just finished, the team has a record of 30-36-6 for 66 points, they sit second last in the European conference and fifth last overall.

 

The team is sitting in that middle ground I believe, it was a season of building up, the team has most of what it needs and now it's just a matter of them getting to the VHL. I think the fans will expect this team to make the playoffs next year, coming down the stretch there was a lot of games lost by just one goal, with overall improvement the team should be able to come out on top of those kind of games next year. Free agency will be important to, being able to pick up a player or two to fill out the roster a little more would help. To end this off we will note that the Titans do have a their own first round pick which will allow them to pick up another player in the draft for the team's future.
