Davos vs Warsaw= bloodbath!

[Scurvy 1,549]

The second round of the S85 playoffs is about to begin and people are excited to see the bloody rivalry between Davos and reigning champions the Warsaw Predators.  On paper these teams match up well with toughness, team defense, and offensive kick. 

 

For Davos, they have some offensive firepower that Warsaw will need to figure out.  Mason Jones, Alex Johnston, Napoleon Dynamite, and tough guy Vinny Detroit can all throw up big numbers in bunches and are all physical players as well.  

 

On defense, they are led by sophomore phenom Jake Thunder who came out of nowhere to end up 10^th in overall scoring in the VHL.  This dude is doing it all and doing it well with 8 points in 5 playoff games against Malmo.  The Predators will need to play a heavy game on him and force him into the penalty box.  He is emotional and has a fatal attraction like obsession with Brian Payne.  He edged out Payne in a fight in the first game of the season and has yet to stop talking about it in forum in one boring and tired post after another.  Payne had no comment on it, as usual.  

 

Besides Thunder, Davos has 3 other very capable defenders in David Tavau, James Teekirque, and Siyan Yasilievich.  All over 700 TPE and very deadly in their own right.  

 

In net, Davos has improved greatly in a deadline trade for Xavier Booberry.  Booberry is a legit future hall of fame goalie and went 14-5-1 after the trade deadline for Davos with one shutout.  He closes the door on scorers so Warsaw will need to make his life uncomfortable with traffic and quality shots on goal against him.  

 

The Predator team hasn’t changed much from their Cup winning club a year ago and the changes that were made possibly made them better. This off season they added Johnny Xavier and Sock Monkey to the club and both have exceeded all expectations with each scoring over 20 goals.  

 

In addition to the newcomers at forward they are as deadly as ever.  Brendan Marner, Vasile Lamb, Zach Kisslinger, and the power play specialist Girts Galvins.  Marner and Kisslinger have been on fire this season each scoring over 100 points.  Vasilie Lamb also notched 38 goals this season and 280 hits.  

 

On defense, the predators have three nasty dmen in Hari Singh Nalwa, Tavish DeGroot, and Brian Payne.  Each of these defensemen play tough, block shots, and hit everything.  Payne and DeGroot are known to take a few extra PIMS with bad behavior but can also put up some numbers.  Keeping them out of the box will be good for Warsaw.  

 

In goal, they have their workhorse, Wumbo.  With a 44-14 record this season he just quietly goes about his business, and his business is stopping pucks.  He also has some grit and is known to take a few PIMS here and there.

 

So, in conclusion, these two teams match up very well and we should see a nasty bloody series.  I put the edge (obviously I’m biased) to Warsaw in six games. 

Good luck Davos!

review: This is a fairly good breakdown but it does lack more depth, which isn't entirely bad on it's own, it does make it a more digestible read. I'm glad you've spaced it out but I feel you were a little gun happy with it? I just think some of the paragraphs you could have combined, not the worst thing and it's better than it looking like a wall of text. I don't think it would have hurt to included a bit more in the stats aspect to add a bit more meat. It lacks a bit in the visual department as well, I think a picture would have gone a long way for it as well using some bold or italics text, or a different font size. Overall really good though, 7.5/10
