Houston in midst of tough first round series against Halifax

[Bojovnik 487]

The Houston Bulls came into the VHLM playoffs in the midst of a hot streak. A late run by the pride of Texas saw the Bulls leapfrog the Mexico City Kings into second place in the North American conference.

 

This form continued into the first round of the playoffs, as the Bulls won the first two games of their Quarter-Final series against the unfancied Halifax 21^st.

 

However, the Nova Scotia side fought back at home, as the 21^st won two games on the bounce to tie up the series.

 

It’s fair to say that the VHLM playoffs can throw up a surprise or two, as the Ottawa Lynx managed to overturn the highly favoured Mississauga Hounds in the first round.

 

With that said, the Bulls took Game 5 at home to put them on the brink of booking their place in the VHLM Semi-Finals.

 

“I think some of the guys were overconfident after the first two games. Sure, we managed to win both of them, but we cannot overlook Halifax in the slightest. They showed in Games 3 and 4 the talent that they have, and we know that we’ll have to be at our best tonight in Game 6 to get the win,” Bulls forward Yaroslav Bogatyrev said on Sunday.

 

Bogatyrev has 1 goal and 1 assist through the first five playoff games.
