playoffs

[hedgehog337 3,483]

So uhhh playoff games are happening. I'm glad to say that Istanbul has made into the finals and we have a decent shot at winning it all. wooohooo!

 

For whole regular season long we've been at the leading spot. At some point we were dropping that spot to Bratislava (I think), but shortly after we were back at the top. I think Bratislava finished below us in standings. In this case I have no idea why we needed to face each other at semi finals. Some conference thing or something? I'm really not sure, but I guess whatever at this point. This was an interesting matchup. For me especially. I already mentioned gazillion times that I still have some soft spot to Bratislava due to reasons most of members know but forgot already. Also the best Riga prospect named James Marino was playing there too...hold up. I think his last prospect was under Moscow. Now he is with Riga and AK is in Moscow. Uhh.....confusing, I know.

 

The series was pretty interesting. No blowouts as far as I remember. We also had a brawl in game 3(?), though AK had nothing to do with that. His primary interest was scoring and he was pretty fine with it. 9 points in 6 games. And I meant it when I said scoring is his primary thing since he was the worst at blocking shots among all Istanbul defs. At the end of the day, no negative stuff did matter as we managed to break them in 6 games to advance into the finals. I'm not even sure who are we gonna face against. I've heard it's against Vasteras. Well, ok then.

 

Outside of it, nothing much. Honestly, I thought this moment would come earlier, but surprisingly there wasn't too much work happening. Neither lots of events. However, August came and it all came at once. More work, more events, less time and interest in spending a time at home. And some members may still remember last summer when I was borderling non existent in this league. I'm already feeling I have less ideas and time on writing articles and doing other stuff so is there a chance I'll claim welfare at some point? Hell yeah. I'm lucky I have enough interest at trying to come up with some filler filled media. That feeling when you don't have much energy to come up with a meaningful media so you're spewing out 500 word filler for 6 TPE ok thanks. I remember me trying to do the same stuff in SBA week after week. They weren't really happy I have to say.

 

I do have one interesting idea for the article which certainly could exceed 500 word mark. About one particular EU team and their interesting contention ways. And of course I have something interesting on my mind when I'm less invested in the league. Such a shame. But hey fall and winter do exist and I'm for sure not outside a lot during these days. So maybe one day this idea will be materalized.

 

Oh yeah VHL playoffs. Well, nothing to say. Go whoever team!

 

That's it and I'm out.
