Eliminated - Seattle Bears

[SlapshotWrangler 864]

SEATTLE - Being eliminated sucks. After a great series against the Toronto Legion in the wild card round, the Bears found themselves being edged ever so slightly by the Wolves until the final game. They fought hard against the favourites to win and did get a game but the playoff hopes of the Bears ended at the hands of Vancouver. It was a tough and bitter loss, although not unexpected. The Bears were a hard fighting and hard working team but were unable to beat the likes of Sales and other stars on the Wolves.

 

“It really hurt. Really did. This team was ready to go all the way. But we lost the first few games and they finished us after a solid win.” Sigard Petrenko commented in a press conference after they were eliminated.

 

“We had the tools and we had everything we needed. Unfortunately, so did the Wolves. We all played our hardest but we came up short. I feel bad for the vets; ‘specially Lose and Tsuji[moto]. We’re sorry we couldn’t get you one. But I still feel confident this group will kick ass in the future.”

 

With the loss of Taro and Justin, the Bears will have to find players to step up to the plate.

 

But that will be worried about later.

 

For now, the Bears are watching from the sidelines and thinking about the what-ifs.
